Te Īnoi o te Tangata i Whakamohoa e tōna Hoa
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi Nekinoto. He Makiri nā Rāwiri.
1E te Atua, tahuri mai tōu taringa ki tāku īnoi;kei whakangaro atu koe, ina tangi ahau.2Anga mai ki ahau, whakahokia mai he kupu ki ahau;pōkaikaha noa iho ahau i ahau e tangi nei,e hāmama nei;3i te reo hoki o te hoariri,i te tūkino a te tangata kino.Nō te mea e utaina ana e rātou he hara ki runga ki ahau,ā, e kino ana ki ahau, e riri ana.4Mamae pū tōku ngākau i roto i ahau;kua taka ki runga ki ahau ngā wehi whakamate.5Kua pā ki ahau te wehi me te wiri;ā, pōkia iho ahau e te whakamataku.6Nā, ko tāku meatanga, “Auē, te whai pākau ahau me he kūkupa;pēnei ka rere atu ahau, ā, ka whai okiokinga.7Kātahi ahau ka rere ki tawhiti;ā, noho rawa atu i te koraha. Hera8Ka hohoro tōku rere atui te hau, i te āwhā.”9Whakangaromia, e te Ariki, wehea ō rātou arero;kua kitea hoki e ahau te tūkino me te tutū o roto o te pā.10Hāereere ana rātou i te ao, i te pō,i runga i ōna taiepa, ā tawhio noa;he kino kei roto, he hīanga.11He hara kei waenganui ōna;kāhore ōna ara e mahuei te tinihanga, i te hīanga.12Ehara hoki i te hoariri nāna ahau i tāwai;pēnei e taea e ahau te whakaririka;ehara hoki i te hoa whawhai nōku i whakakake ki ahau;pēnei kua piri ahau, kei kitea e ia.13Nāu ia, nā te tangata i rite ki ahau,nā tōku takahoa, nā tāku i mōhio ai.14Āhuareka tonu tā tāua kōrerorero;haere tahi ana hoki tāua i roto i te rōpū ki te whare o te Atua.15Kia mau ohorere rātou i te mate,kia heke ora ki te rēinga;he hara hoki kei ō rātou nohoanga, kei waenganui i a rātou.16Ko ahau, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua;ā, mā Ihowā ahau e whakaora.17I te ahiahi, i te ata, i te poutūmārōtanga,ka īnoi ahau, ka tangi;ā, ka whakarongo ia ki tōku reo.18Whakaorangia ana e ia tōku wairuai runga i te rangimārie i ahau e whakaekea ana;he tokomaha hoki ōku hoa whawhai.19Ka whakarongo te Atua, nō tua iho nei tōna nohoanga,ā, ka whakahoki i tā rātou. HeraKo te hunga kāhore ō rātou whakawhitiwhitinga,ā, kāhore ō rātou wehi ki te Atua.20Kua totoro ōna ringa ki te hunga kua mau nei tā rātou rongo ki a ia;kua whakatakā e ia tāna kawenata.21Māeneene atu tōna māngai i te pata,he whawhai ia kei roto i tōna ngākau;ngāwari atu āna kupu i te hinu,kāhore, he hoari kua oti te unu.22Makā ki runga ki a Ihowā tāu pīkaunga,ā, māna koe e whakaū ake;e kore e tukua e iate hunga tika kia whakangāueuetia ake ake.23Māu ia rātou e mea, e te Atua,kia heke ki te poka o te pirau;e kore ngā tāngata toto,ngā tāngata hīanga e tutuki ki te hāwhe o ō rātou rā.Ko ahau ia, ka whakawhirinaki ki a koe.
