1Kua puaki te kupu a te Atua, a te Atua tonu, a Ihowā,ā, karangatia ana e ia te whenua i te putanga mai o te rā,tae noa ki tōna torengitanga.2Kua tīaho mai te Atua i roto i Hiona,i te tino o te ātaahua.3Ka haere mai tō tātou Atua, e kore anō e wahangū;ka kai te kāpura i tōna aroaro,ā, ka hūkerikeri te āwhā ki tētahi taha ōna, ki tētahi taha.4Ka karangatia e ia ngā rangi i runga, me te whenua hoki,ki te whakaritenga mō tōna iwi.5“Huihuia mai ki ahau tāku hunga tapu,te hunga i whakarite kawenata ki ahau i runga i te patunga tapu.”6Ā, mā ngā rangi e whakakite tōna tika;ko te Atua ake nei hoki te kaiwhakawā. Hera7“Whakarongo, e tōku iwi, ā, ka kōrero ahau;e Īharaira, ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe;ko ahau te Atua, ko tōu Atua.8E kore ahau e riri ki a koe mō āu patunga tapu;ā, kei tōku aroaro tonu āu tahunga tinana.9E kore ahau e tango i tētahi pūru i roto i tōu whare,i ētahi koati toa rānei i roto i āu taiepa.10Nāku nei hoki ngā kīrehe katoa o te ngahere,ngā kararehe i runga i te mano o ngā pukepuke.11E mātau ana ahau ki ngā manu katoa o ngā maunga;nāku anō ngā kīrehe o te pārae.12“Me he matekai tōku, e kore ahau e kōrero ki a koe;nāku nei hoki te ao, me ōna tini mea.13E kai koia ahau i te kikokiko o ngā pūru,e inu rānei i te toto o ngā koati?14Ko te whakawhetai hei patunga tapu māu ki te Atua;whakamanā hoki āu kupu taurangi ki te Runga Rawa.15Ā, karanga ki ahau i te rā o te hē;māku koe e whakaora, ā, ka whakakorōriatia ahau e koe.”16Ki te tangata hara ia ka mea te Atua:“He aha māu te whakapuaki i āku tikanga,te whakahua rānei i tāku kawenata e tōu māngai?17Kua kino nei hoki koe ki te ako,ā, e ākiri ana i āku kupu ki muri i a koe.18I tōu kitenga i te tāhae, nā, whakaae ana koe ki a ia;ā, whai tahi ana me te hunga pūremu.19“Kua tukua e koe tōu māngai ki te kino;ā, e tito hīanga ana tōu arero.20Noho ana koe, ka kōrero kino ki tōu teina;ngautuarā tonu iho koe ki te tama a tōu whaea.21Ko āu mahi ēnei, ā, wahangū tonu ahau;i mea koe he pēnā pū ahau me koe.Otirā, ka rīria koe e ahau,ka whakarārangitia anō aua mea ki tōu aroaro.22“Nā, whakaaroa tēnei, e te hunga kua wareware ki te Atua;kei haehaea koutou e ahau, ā, kāhore he kaiwhakaora.23Ko te whakamoemiti te patunga tapu e whai korōria ai ahau;ko te tangata hoki he tika nei tōna araka whakakitea e ahau ki a ia te whakaoranga a te Atua.”
