He Whakawātanga ki ngā Hoariri o Īharaira

¹Ko te poropititanga o te kupu a Ihowā i te whenua o Hararaka;nā, ko tōna taunga atu kei Ramahiku.E whai kanohi ana hoki te tangatame ngā hapū katoa o Īharaira ki a Ihowā.²Kei Hāmata anō e tata rā ki reira;kei Tāira, kei Hairona nō te mea he pā whakaaro nui rawa ia.³I hangā anō e Tāira he pā kaha mōna,i opehia e ia te hiriwa, ānō he puehu,te kōura parakore, ānō ko te paru o ngā waharoa.⁴Nanā, mā te Ariki ia e pei,ka patua hoki e ia tōna kaha i te moana;ka pau ia i te ahi.

⁵Ka kite a Ahakerono, ā, ka wehi,a Kaha, nui atu te mamae, me Ekerono anō;nō te mea he whakamā tō tāna i tūmanako ai;ka kore hoki tō Kaha kīngi;e kore anō a Ahakerono e nohoia.⁶Ā, ka nohoia a Aharoro e te pōriro,ka hātepea atu anō e ahau te whakapehapeha o ngā Pirihitini.

⁷Ka kore anō i ahau ōna toto i roto i tōna māngai,me āna mea whakarihariha i waenganui i ōna niho;nā, hei mōrehu ia mō tō tātou Atua,ka rite anō ki te kāwana i roto i a Hūrā,ka rite anō a Ekerono ki te Iepuhi.⁸Ka nohoia anō e ahau ngā taha o tōku whare,hei ārai mō te taua, mō te tangata anō e tika ana nā reira,mō te tangata e hoki ana.E kore anō te kaitūkino e tika nā waenga i a rātou ā muri ake nei;kua kite nei hoki ōku kanohi ināianei.

Te Kīngi e Haere mai mō Hiona

⁹Kia nui te whakamanamana, e te tamāhine a Hiona,hāmama, e te tamāhine a Hiruhārama!Nanā, ko tōu Kīngi e haere nā ki a koe;he tika ia, he whakaora,he ngākau māhaki, e noho ana i runga i te kāihe,i te kūao anō, i te tama a te kāihe.¹⁰Ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau te hāriata o Ēparaima,me te hōiho o Hiruhārama;ka hātepea atu anō te kōpere o te whawhai;mō te rongo mau hoki āna kupu ki ngā tauiwi;ka kīngi anō ia i tētahi moana ā tae noa ki tētahi moana,i te awa ā tae noa ki ngā pito o te whenua.

¹¹Me koe anō, nā te toto o tāu kawenatai ungā atu ai e ahau ōu hereherei roto i te poka kāhore nei ōna wai.¹²Tahuri ki te pā kaha, e ngā herehere, e te hunga e tūmanako ana;i tēnei rā nei me whakaatu e ahau e rua āku whakautu ki a koe.¹³Kua piko hoki i ahau a Hūrā māku,kua whakakīia te kōpere ki a Ēparaima;ā, ka oho i ahau āu tama, e Hiona,ki te whawhai ki āu tama, e Kariki,ka meinga hoki koe e ahau kia rite ki te hoari a te mārohirohi.

¹⁴Ā, ka kitea a Ihowā i runga i a rātou,ka puta atu anō tāna pere ānō he uira.Ka tangi hoki te tētere a te Ariki, a Ihowā,ā, ka haere ia i runga i ngā tūkauati o te tonga.¹⁵Mā Ihowā o ngā mano rātou e tiaki;ā, ka kai rātou, ā, ka takahi i ngā kōhatu o te kōtaha;ka inu anō rātou, ka hāmama me te mea nā te wāina;ka kī rātou ānō he peihana,ānō ko ngā koki o te āta.

¹⁶Nā, ka whakaora a Ihowā, tō rātou Atua,i a rātou i taua rā, me he kāhui nō tāna iwi;ka rite hoki rātou ki ngā kōhatu o te karauna,maiangi rawa i runga i tōna whenua.¹⁷Nā, koia anō tōna pai, koia anō tōna ātaahua!Ka tupu ngā tama i te wīti,ngā kōtiro i te wāina hou.
