Hopa37
1“Nā konei anō wiri ana tōku ngākau,maunu atu ana i tōna wāhi.2Āta whakarangona tōna reo e papā ana,te pakūtanga hoki e puta mai ana i tōna māngai.3E whakatikaia atu ana e ia ki ngā wāhi katoa i raro i te rangi,ko tōna uira hoki ki ngā pito o te whenua.4I muri iho ko te reo e hāmama ana;papā ana te whatitiri o te reo o tōna nui;e kore anō ērā e tauhikuhiku ina rangona tōna reo.5Ko tā te Atua whatitiri he reo whakamīharo;nui atu āna mahi, e kore hoki e mōhiotia.6E kī ana hoki ia ki te hukarere, ‘Hei runga koe i te whenua’;ki te ua pūnehunehu anō hoki, rāua ko te ua tā o tōna kaha;7hīritia ake e ia te ringa o ngā tāngata katoa;kia mōhio ai ngā tāngata katoa nāna nei i hanga ki tāna mahi.8Haere ana ngā kīrehe ki ngā piringanoho ana i ō rātou nohoanga.9Puta mai ana te tūpuhi i te whare o te tonga;te mātao hoki i te hauraro.10Nā te manawa o te Atua i hōmai te huka;ā, kūiti iho te whānuitanga o ngā wai.11Āe rā, e utaina ana e ia te kapua mātotoru ki te haukū;tohatohaina ana e ia te kohu o tāna uira.12E whakakōpikopikoa ana anō ā tawhio noa, he mea hoki nā ōna whakaaro;hei mea i ngā mea katoa e whakahaua atu ana e ia ki te mata o te ao.13E whakaputaina ana e ia hei whiu,hei mea rānei mō tōna whenua, hei atawhai rānei.14“Kia whai taringa mai ki tēnei, e Hopa;tū mārie, ka whakaaro ki ngā mea whakamīharo a te Atua.15E mōhio ana rānei koe ki tā te Atua whakahautanga ki a rātou i tāna,i puta ai te mārama o tāna kapua?16E mōhio ana rānei koe ki ngā pāunatanga o ngā kapua,ki ngā mahi whakamīharo a te tino o te mātauranga?17Ki ōu kākahu nei ka mahana,ina whakamārietia e ia te whenua ki te hau tonga?18Ka taea rānei e koe te whakatakoto ngātahi me ia te rangi hei papatupu,ānō he whakaata whakarewa?19“Whakaaturia mai ki a mātou tā mātou e kōrero ai ki a ia;e kore hoki e tika i te pōuri tā mātou whakatakoto o te kōrero.20E kōrerotia rānei ki a ia kei te mea ahau ki te kōrero?Kia hiahia rānei te tangata kia horomia ia?21Nā, ināianei e kore ngā tāngata e kite ana i te māramae wheriko mai nei i te rangi;otiia ka tika atu te hau, ka whakawāteatia rātou.22E ahu mai ana i te hauraro te aho ānō he kōura;kei te Atua te korōria whakawehi.23Ko te Kaha Rawa – e kore ia e taea te whakataki e tātou;hira rawa tōna kaha;ā, e kore ia e tūkino i tāna whakarite whakawā, i te nui o te tika.24Koia ka wehi ngā tāngata i a ia;e kore ia e whai whakaaro ki te hunga ngākau mōhio.”
