Te Mahi Kino a Hiruhārama

¹Auē te mate mō tēnei e whakakeke nei,kua poke nei, mō te pā tūkino!²Kīhai ia i whakarongo ki te reo,kīhai i pai ki te ako.Kīhai i whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā,kīhai i whakatata ki tōna Atua.

³He raiona e hāmama anaōna rangatira i roto i a ia,he wuruhi i te ahiahi ōna kaiwhakarite,kāhore ā rātou toenga mō te ata.⁴Ko ōna poropiti, he wairangi,he hunga tinihanga;kua whakapokea te wāhi tapu e ōna tohunga,kua tūkinotia e rātou te ture.⁵He tika a Ihowā i roto i a ia;kāhore āna mahi hē.I tēnei ata, i tēnei ata, e puta ana tāna whakawākangaki te mārama, e kore tāna e ngaro atu;nā, ko te kaimahi i te hē, e kore ia e mōhio ki te whakamā.

⁶“Kua oti ngā iwi te hātepe atu e ahau;tū kau ana ō rātou taumaihi.Kua ururua i ahau ō rātou ara,kāhore e haerea;kua ngaro ō rātou pā,kāhore he tangata, kāhore he kainoho.⁷I kī ahau, ‘He pono ka wehi koe i ahau,ka pai ki te ako;pēnei kīhai i hātepea atu tōna nohoanga,kīhai i pērā me āku whiunga katoa i a ia.’Heoi, moata tonu tō rātou maranga,he iho ā rātou mahi katoa.”

Ka Huri ngā Tauiwi ki a Ihowā

⁸“Mō reira tatari mai ki ahau,” e ai tā Ihowā,“ki te rā e whakatika ai ahau ki te taonga parakete.Ko tāku tikanga hoki tēnei,kia huihuia mai ngā tauiwi,kia tāwhiua mai ngā kīngitanga,kia ringihia ki runga ki a rātou tōku riri,tōku āritarita katoa, mura tonu;ka pau hoki te whenua katoa i te ahi, arā i tōku hae.

⁹“Ka puta kē hoki i ahau i reirahe reo tino tika mō ngā iwi,e karanga ai rātou katoa ki te ingoa o Ihowā,e kotahi tonu ai te whakaaro e mahi ai ki a ia.¹⁰Ka kawea mai he whakahere ki ahaue te hunga e īnoi ana ki ahau,arā e te tamāhine a āku whati,i tērā taha o ngā awa o Etiopia.

¹¹“I taua rā e kore koe e whakamāki tētahi o āu mahi, o ōu hē ki ahau;nō te mea ka tangohia atu e ahau i roto i a koete hunga e whakamanamana ana, e whakapehapeha ana,e kore anō koe e whakakake ā muri ake nei,i runga i tōku maunga tapu.¹²Ka whakatoea anō e ahau ētahi i roto i a koe,he ware, he rawakore,ā, ka whakawhirinaki rātou ki te ingoa o Ihowā.¹³E kore ngā toenga o Īharairae mahi hē, e kōrero teka rānei;e kore anō e kitea he arero tekai roto ō rātou māngai.Ka kai hoki rātou, ka takoto,tē ai he kaiwhakawehi.”

He Waiata Koa

¹⁴Waiata, e te tamāhine a Hiona;hāmama, e Īharaira!Whakapaua te ngākau ki te koa, ki te whakamanamana,e te tamāhine a Hiruhārama.¹⁵Kua kore i a Ihowā ngā whakawā mōu,kua peia e ia tōu hoariri.Kei roto i a koe te kīngi o Īharaira, arā a Ihowā;e kore koe e kite i te kino ā muri ake nei.

¹⁶Ko te kōrero tēnei ki Hiruhārama i taua rā:Kaua e wehi; e Hiona,kei ruha ōu ringa.¹⁷Kei roto a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a koe,ā, he nui ia, māna e whakaora;ka koa ia, ka hari ki a koe;ka āta noho ia i runga i tōna aroha,ka whakamanamana ia,ka waiata ki a koe.

¹⁸“Ka whakaminea e ahau te hungae pōuri ana ki te huihuinga nui,ērā i roto i a koe,ērā e mau nā tōna ingoa kino ki a rātou.¹⁹Nanā, i taua wā,ka mahi ahau ki te hunga katoae whakatupu kino ana i a koe.Ka whakaora i te wahine e totitoti ana;ka kohikohi i te mea i peia atu,ā, hei whakamoemititanga rātou,hei ingoa i ngā whenua katoa i whakamā ai rātou.²⁰I taua wā ka kawea mai koutou e ahau,ā, i taua wā ka whakaminea mai koutou e ahau;ā, hei ingoa koutou, hei whakamoemititangai roto i ngā iwi katoa o te whenua,ina whakahokia koutou e ahaui te whakarau me te titiro anō koutou,”e ai tā Ihowā.
