Te Īnoi a te Tangata e Mate ana
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene nā Rāwiri.
1Ka hari te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te rawakore;e whakaorangia ia e Ihowā i te rā o te hē.2Mā Ihowā ia e tiaki, e whakaora;ka whakaharitia ia i runga i te whenua.E kore anō e tukua e koe ki ngā hiahia o ōna hoariri.3Mā Ihowā ia e whakakaha, i a ia e whakaruhi ana i runga i te moenga:māu anō e whakapai katoa tōna moenga i a ia e mate ana.4I mea ahau, “E Ihowā, tohungia ahau;rongoātia tōku wairua; kua hara hoki ahau ki a koe.”5He kino te kōrero a ōku hoariri mōku, e mea ana,“Āhea rānei ia mate ai, pirau ai tōna ingoa?”6Ā, ki te haere mai ia kia kite i ahau, ka kōrero horihori ia;e āmi ana tōna ngākau i te kino māna;i tōna putanga ki waho, kōrerotia ana e ia.7E kōmuhumuhu ana mōku te hunga katoa e kino ana ki ahau;e whakatakoto ana i te kino mōku.8E ai tā rātou, “E piri ana te mate kino ki a ia;ā, ka takoto nei ia, heoi anō tōna aranga ake.”9Āe, ko tōku hoa ake anō, i whakawhirinaki ai ahau,i kai nei i tāku taro, kua hiki ake tōna rekereke ki ahau.10Ko koe ia, e Ihowā, kia aroha ki ahau;ā, whakaarahia ahau, kia utua ai rātou e ahau.11Nā konei ahau i mātau ai e pai ana koe ki ahau,nō te mea kāhore tōku hoariri e whakamanamana ki ahau.12Ko ahau ia, ko koe e whakamau ake ana i ahau i runga i tōku ngākau tapatahi;e whakatū ake ana hoki i ahau ki tōu aroaro ake tonu atu.13Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, te Atua o Īharairainamata riro anō, ake tonu atu anō hoki.Āmine, āe Āmine.
