1Ko te kupu i kōrerotia e Ihowā mō Papurōna, mō te whenua o ngā Karari, i puaki i a Heremaia poropiti:2“Kauwhautia i roto i ngā tauiwi, pānuitia,ā, ka whakaara he kara; pānuitia atu,kaua e hunā, mea atu:‘Kua horo a Papurōna,kua whakamā a Pere,kua pororaru a Meroraka.Kua whakamā āna whakapakoko,kua wehi āna whakaahua.’3Nō te mea kei te haere mai he iwi ki a ia i te raki,māna e ururua ai tōna whenua.E kore anō tētahi e noho ki reira;kua rere rātou, kua heke, te tangata, te kararehe.4“I aua rā, i taua wā hoki,”e ai tā Ihowā,“ka haere mai ngā tama a Īharaira,rātou tahi ko ngā tama a Hūrā;ka haere rātou me te tangi haere,ā, ka rapu i a Ihowā, i tō rātou Atua.5Tērā rātou e ui mō Hiona,me te anga anō ō rātou kanohi ki reira, me te kī,Haere mai koutou, ka hono i a koutou ki a Ihowā,i runga i te kawenata mau tonu,e kore e wareware.6“Ko tāku iwi he hipi ngaro;nā ō rātou hēpara rātou i kotiti kē ai,nā rātou hoki rātou i tahuri kē ai i runga i ngā maunga.Kua haere atu rātou i te maunga ki te pukepuke,kua wareware ki tō rātou takotoranga.7Kua kainga rātou e te hunga katoa i kite i a rātou;ā, kua mea ō rātou hoariri,‘Kāhore ō tātou hē, kua hara nei hoki rātou ki a Ihowā,ki te nohoanga o te tika, arā ki a Ihowā,ki tā ō rātou mātua i tūmanako ai.’8“Rere atu i roto i Papurōna,heke atu i te whenua o ngā Karari,ā, kia rite ki ngā koati toa i mua i ngā kāhui.9Nō te mea, nanā, ka whakaarahia e ahau,ka whakaekea hoki ki Papurōnahe huihuinga o ngā iwi nunui nō te whenua ki te raki;ā, ka takoto ō rātou matua hei whawhai ki a ia;ka horo ia i reira.Ka rite ā rātou pere ki ā te mārohirohi mōhio;e kore tētahi e hoki kau mai.10Ā, ka pāhuatia a Karari;ka tatū ngā ngākau o te hunga katoa e pāhua ana i a ia,”e ai tā Ihowā.11“Nō te mea e koa ana koutou,nō te mea e whakamanamana ana koutou,e te hunga e pāhua nei i tōku kāinga tupu,nō te mea e tākarokaro ana koutou,pērā i te kau kūao e takahi ana i te wīti,e tangi ana pērā i ngā hōiho kaha;12ka nui rawa te whakamā o tō koutou whaea;matangerengere ana te wahine i whānau ai koutou.Nanā, ko ia hei muri rawa o ngā iwi,hei koraha, hei whenua waikore, hei ururua.13He riri nō Ihowā e kore ai e nohoia,engari, ka waiho hei ururua katoa a reira.Ko ngā tāngata katoa e tika ana nā Papurōna ka mīharo,ka hī ki ōna whiunga katoa.14Whakatakoto i ō koutou matua hei whawhai ki Papurōna,ki tētahi taha, ki tētahi taha, e te hunga whakapiko kōpere katoa;kōpere atu ki a ia, kaua e kaiponuhia ngā pere;kua hara hoki ia ki a Ihowā.15Hāmama ki a ia i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha!Kua whakangāwari ia i a ia;kua hinga ōna parepare,kua oti ōna taiepa te wāhi iho.He rapunga utu hoki nā Ihowā;he rapua he utu i a ia;kia rite ki tāna i mea ai tā koutou e mea ai ki a ia.16Hātepea atu te kairui i roto i Papurōna,me te kairahurahu o te toronaihi i te wā e kotia ai te wīti.He wehi nō rātou i te hoari tūkino, ka tahuri ki tōna iwi, ki tōna iwi,rere ana rātou ki tōna whenua, ki tōna whenua.17“He hipi a Īharaira i marara atu;kua āia atu ia e ngā raiona.I te tuatahi nā te kīngi o Ahiria ia i kai.I te whakamutunga nā tēnei Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōnaōna wheua i wāhi.”18Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira:“Nanā, ka whiua e ahau te kīngi o Papurōna me tōna whenua,ka pērā me tāku whiunga i te kīngi o Ahiria.19Ā, ka whakahokia e ahau a Īharaira ki tōna takanga,ā, ka kai ia ki runga ki Karamere, ki Pahana,ka mākona hoki tōna wairuaki runga ki ngā pukepuke o Ēparaima, ki Kireara.20I aua rā, ā, i taua wā,”e ai tā Ihowā,“ka rapua te hē o Īharaira,ā, kāhore noa iho;ngā hara hoki o Hūrā,ā, e kore e kitea.Ka murua hoki e ahau te kino o te hunga ka whakatoea nei e ahau.21“Haere atu ki te whenua o Merataimi,ki reira tatau ai, ā, ki ngā tāngata hoki o Pekoro.Whakamōtītia, whakangaromia rawatia,whāia rātou,”e ai tā Ihowā,“mahia hoki ngā mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.22He ngangau nō te whawhai kei te whenua,he whakangaromanga nui.23Tōna poroporonga rawatanga,wāwāhia ana te hama o te ao katoa!Tōna ururuatanga o Papurōnai roto i ngā tauiwi!24I whakatakotoria e ahau he māhanga mōu,ā, kua mau koe, e Papurōna,kīhai hoki koe i mōhio;kua kitea koe, kua hopukia hoki,mōu i totohe ki a Ihowā.25Kua whakapuaretia e Ihowā tōna whare taonga,kua whakaputaina mai e ia ki waho ngā patu o tōna riri:he mahi hoki tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano,hei mahinga ki te whenua o ngā Karari.26Haere mai ki a ia i te pito rawa rā anō,whakapuaretia ōna toa;opehia ake hei pūranga, whakangaromia rawatia;kaua rawa he wāhi ōna e mahue.27Patua ana pūru katoa;tukua rātou kia haere ki raro ki te patunga.Auē te mate mō rātou!Kua tae mai hoki tō rātou rā, te wā e whiua ai rātou.28Ko te reo o te hunga e rere ana,e mawhiti ana i te whenua o Papurōna,hei kōrero ki te whenua o Hiona i te rapu utu a Ihowā, a tō tātou Atua,i te rapu utu mō tōna temepara.29“Kārangarangatia kia hui ngā kaikōpere ki te tatau ki Papurōna,te hunga katoa e whakapiko ana i te kōpere.Whakapaea tēnā pā, karapoi noa;kaua rawa tētahi ōna e mawhiti;utua tāna mahi;kia rite ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai ia tā koutou e mea ai ki a ia;nō te mea kua whakapehapeha ia ki a Ihowā,ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira.30Mō reira ka hinga āna taitama ki ōna huarahi,ā, ka whakamōtītia āna tāngata whawhai katoa i taua rā,”e ai tā Ihowā.31“Nanā, hei hoariri ahau mōu, e te mea whakakake,”e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano,“nō te mea kua tae mai tōu rā,te rā e whiua ai koe e ahau.32Ā, ka tūtuki ngā waewae o te mea whakapehapeha, ka hinga,ā, kāhore he kaiwhakaara mōna:ā, ka ngiha i ahau he ahi ki roto ki ōna pā,ā, ka pau i tērā ngā mea katoa i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha.”33Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano:Kei te tūkinotia ngātahitia ngā tamariki a Īharaira,rātou ko ngā tamariki a Hūrā;ā, kei te puritia rātou, mau rawa, e ō rātou kaiwhakarau;e kore rātou e pai ki te tuku i a rātou.34He kaha tō rātou kaihoko;ko Ihowā o ngā mano tōna ingoa.Ka whakapaua e ia te tohe i tā rātou tohe,kia hoatu ai e ia he tānga manawa ki te whenua,ā, he ohooho ki ngā tāngata o Papurōna.35“Kei runga i ngā Karari te hoari,” e ai tā Ihowā,“kei runga anō i ngā tāngata o Papurōna,kei runga i ōna rangatira,kei runga hoki i ōna tāngata whakaaro nui.36Kei runga te hoari i te hunga whakapehapeha,ā, ka wairangi rātou.He hoari kei runga i āna mārohirohi,ā, ka pāwera rātou.37Kei runga te hoari i ō rātou hōiho, kei runga i ō rātou hāriata,kei runga hoki i ngā whakauru katoa i roto i a ia,ā, ka rite rātou ki te wahine;kei runga te hoari i ōna taonga,ā, ka pāhuatia.38He mimiti kei runga i ōna wai,ā, ka maroke.He whenua whakapakoko hoki ia,ā, e pōrangi ana rātou ki ngā atua whakawehi.39“Mō reira ka nohoia a reira e ngā kīrehe mohoaoo te koraha rātou ngātahi ko ngā wuruhi,ā, ka noho anō hoki ngā otereti ki reira;ā, e kore a reira e nohoia ā ake ake.Kāhore hoki e whai kāinga a reirai tētahi whakatupuranga ki tētahi whakatupuranga.40Ka rite ki tā te Atua hurihanga i Horoma, i Komora,i ngā pā anō hoki e tata ana ki reira,”e ai tā Ihowā;“ka pērā te kore o te tangata e noho ki reira,e kore anō hoki tētahi tama a te tangata e whai kāinga ki reira.41“Nanā, kei te haere mai he iwi i te raki;ā, he iwi nui, he tokomaha hoki ngā kīngie maranga mai i ngā tōpito o te whenua.42Ka rarau rātou ki te kōpere, ki te tao;he iwi nanakia rātou, e kore e tohu tangata;ā, pararā ana tō rātou reo pērā i te haruru o te moana,kei runga hōiho hoki e eke ana;rārangi rawa katoa, ānō he tangata e mea ana ki te whawhai,hei tatau ki a koe, e te tamāhine a Papurōna.43Kua rongo te kīngi o Papurōna i tō rātou rongo,ā, kei te ngohe ōna ringa.Kua mau ia i te pāwera,i te mamae hoki, me te mea he wahine e whānau ana.44Nanā, ka haere ake ia ānō he raiona i te ngawhātanga o Horanoki te nohoanga kaha.Otiia, e kore e rokohanga tāku meatanga i a rātou kia rere atu i reira;ā, ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria kia whakaritea e ahau hei rangatira mōna?Ko wai oti e rite ana ki ahau?Ko wai hoki hei whakarite wā mai ki ahau?Ko wai hoki te hēpara hei tū ki tōku aroaro?45Mō reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowā,kua whakatakotoria e ia mō Papurōna;ki ōna whakaaro hoki i whakaaroa e iamō te whenua o ngā Karari:He pono ka tōia atu rātou e rātou,arā ngā mea ririki o te kāhui.He pono ka whakangaromia rātouko ō rātou nohoanga e ia.46Ngateri ana te whenua i te haruru o te horonga o Papurōna,rangona ana te hāmama i roto i ngā iwi.”
