1Whakawhetai ki a Ihowā, he pai hoki ia;he pūmau tonu hoki tāna mahi tohu.2Kia pēnā anō te kōrero a te hunga i hokona e Ihowā,i hokona nei e ia i roto i te ringa o te hoariri;3i kohikohia nei i ngā whenua,i te rāwhiti, i te uru,i te raki, i te tonga.4I hāereere rātou i te koraha i te wāhi mokemoke,tē kitea tētahi pā hei nohoanga.5I matekai rātou, i matewai;hemo noa tō rātou wairua i roto i a rātou.6Nā, ka tangi rātou ki a Ihowā i tō rātou pōuri;ā, whakaorangia ana rātou e ia i ō rātou mate;7ā, ārahina ana e ia rā te ara tika;kia haere ai ki te pā hei nohoanga.8Auē! Me i whakapaingia e te tangata a Ihowā mō tōna atawhai,mō āna mahi whakamīharo ki ngā tama a te tangata!9E whakamākonatia ana hoki e ia te wairua hiahia;ko te wairua hiakai, whakakīia ana e ia ki te pai.10Ko te hunga i noho i te pōuri, i te ātārangi o te mate,he mea here ki te mamae, ki te rino;11mō rātou i tutū ki ngā kupu a te Atua,i whakahāwea ki te whakaaro o te Runga Rawa.12Koia i pēhia iho ai e ia ō rātou ngākau ki te mahi;hinga iho rātou, kāhore hoki he kaiāwhina.13Nā, ka tangi rātou ki a Ihowā i tō rātou pōuri;ā, ka whakaorangia rātou e ia i ō rātou mate.14Whakaputaina mai ana rātou e ia i te pōuri,i te ātārangi o te mate; motumotuhia ana ō rātou here.15Auē! Me i whakapaingia e te tangata a Ihowā mō tōna atawhai,mō āna mahi whakamīharo ki ngā tama a te tangata!16Kua tukitukia hoki e ia ngā tatau parāhi;kua tapahia e ia ngā tūtaki rino, motu rawa.17Ko ngā kūware, nā ā rātou mahi tutū,nā ō rātou kino, i pākia ai rātou.18Ka wetiweti tō rātou wairua ki ngā kai katoa,ā, ka whakatata rātou ki ngā kūwaha o te mate.19Nā, ka tangi ki a Ihowā i tō rātou pōuri,ā, ka whakaorangia rātou e ia i ō rātou mate.20Tukua mai ana e ia tāna kupu, ā, rongoātia ana rātou;ā, whakaputaina ana rātou i ō rātou ngaromanga.21Auē! Me i whakapaingia e te tangata a Ihowā mō tōna atawhai,mō āna mahi whakamīharo ki ngā tama a te tangata.22Kia tukua anō e rātou te whakahere, arā te whakamoemiti;kia whakapuaki i āna mahi i runga i te hari.23Ko te hunga e haere ana ki raro, ki te moana, i runga kaipuke,ā, e whai mahi ana i ngā wai nunui,24ko rātou e kite i ngā mahi a Ihowā,i āna mahi whakamīharo i te rire.25Puta kau tāna kupu, kua maranga te tūpuhi,māna e whakatūtū ōna ngaru.26Ka kake rātou ki runga ki te rangi, ka heke anō ki raro ki te rire;ngohe noa ō rātou wairua i te pāwera;27ka tiu rātou, ka hūrorirori ānō he tangata e haurangi ana;ā, kāhore he mahara i toe.28Heoi, ka tangi ki a Ihowā i tō rātou hēmanawa;ā, whakaorangia ana rātou i ō rātou mate.29Meinga ana e ia te tūpuhi kia marino,ōna ngaru kia māriri.30Nā, ka koa rātou, nō te mea ka mārie,ā, ka kawea rātou e ia ki te tauranga i hiahia ai rātou.31Auē! Me i whakapaingia e te tangata a Ihowā mō tōna atawhai,mō āna mahi whakamīharo ki ngā tama a te tangata!32Kia whakanui hoki rātou i a ia i roto i te whakaminenga o te iwi,kia whakamoemiti ki a ia i roto i te nohoanga kaumātua.33Ko ia hei mea i ngā awa hei koraha,i ngā pupūtanga wai hei oneone maroke,34i te whenua whai hua, kia tītōhea,mō te hara o te hunga e noho ana i reira.35Ko ia hei mea i te koraha hei hārotoroto wai,i te whenua maroke hei pupūtanga wai.36Ā, whakanohoia iho e ia te hunga matekai ki reira,hanga ai i tētahi pā hei nohoanga;37hei rui māra, hei whakatō māra wāina,e tupu ai, e maha ai ngā hua.38Ko ia anō hei manaaki i a rātou, nō ka nui rawa;kāhore hoki e tukua kia torutoru haere ā rātou kararehe.39Nā, kua iti haere anō rātou, kua pikoi te tūkino, i te hē, i te pōuri,40e ringihia ana e ia te whakahāwea ki runga ki ngā rangatira;e meinga ana kia hēhē i te ururua, i te wāhi kāhore nei he ara;41otirā, kei te whakateitei ia i te rawakore ki runga i te mamae,kei te mea i ōna hapū kia rite ki te kāhui hipi.42Ka kite ngā tāngata tika, ā, ka hari;ko ngā hē katoa hoki, kopia ake te māngai.43Ko te tangata whakaaro nui ka mahara ki ēnei mea,ā, ka mōhio rātou ki te aroha o Ihowā.
