1He aha koe ka tū mai ai i tawhiti, e Ihowā?Ka whakangarongaro ai i ngā wā o te hē?2E whakakake ana te tangata kino, e tūkino ana i te tangata iti –kia hopukina rātou ki ngā whakaaro i whakaaro ai rātou.3E whakapehapeha ana hoki te tangata kino ki te hiahia o tōna ngākau,ā, ko te hunga apo taonga, e whakakāhore ana,āe rā, e whakahāwea ana ki a Ihowā.4Ka mea te tangata kino, i te whakapehapeha o tōna mata,“E kore e hiahiatia e ia.”Kei roto i ōna whakaaro katoa e mea ana,“Kāhore he Atua.”5Whanokē tonu ōna ara i ngā wā katoa;kei runga noa ake āu whakaritenga tē kitea e ia,he mea whakatūpererū e ia ōna hoariri katoa.6E mea ana i roto i tōna ngākau, “E kore ahau e whakakorikoria.Kāhore hoki he hē mōku ā ngā whakatupuranga katoa.”7Kī tonu tōna māngai i te kanga, i te hīanga, i te tūkino;kei raro i tōna arero te whanokē me te teka.8E noho ana ia, e whanga ana i ngā pā koraha;e kōhurutia ana e ia te hunga harakore i ngā wāhi ngaro.E matatau ana ōna kanohi ki te hunga rawakore.9E whanga puku ana ia me he raiona i tōna kuhunga;e whanga ana kia hopukia te tangata iti;e hopukia ana e ia te tangata iti, ua kūmea ki tāna kupenga.10Kūpapa ana ia, piko ana,hinga ana te hunga rawakore i āna mea kaha.11E mea ana i roto i tōna ngākau, “Ka wareware te Atua,e huna ana ia i tōna mata e kore ia e kite ake tonu atu.”12Whakatika, e Ihowā, e te Atua, tākiritia tōu ringa;kaua e wareware ki te hunga iti.13He aha te tangata kino ka whakahāwea ai ki te Atua.Kua mea ia i roto i tōna ngākau,“E kore tēnei e whakatakina e koe”?14Kua kite koe; e tirohia nei hoki e koete whanokē me te whakatoi, ā, ka utua e tōu ringa.E tuku ana te rawakore i a ia anō ki a koe;ko koe hei tuarā mō te pani.15Whatia e koe te ringa o te tangata kino;tēnā ko te tangata nanakia, whakatakina tōna kino,kia kāhore rā anō e kitea e koe.16Ko Ihowā te Kīngi ake akekua kāhore kē ngā tauiwi i tōna whenua.17E Ihowā, kua whakarongo koe ki te hiahia o te hunga whakaiti;māu anō ō rātou ngākau e whakapai,ka tahuri anō tōu taringa ki te whakarongo;18ki te whakawā mō te pani, mō te tangata e tūkinotia ana,kei whakamataku ā mua ake te tangata o te whenua.
