Ka Kōhete a Erihu i a Hopa

¹“Tēnā rā, whakarongo, e Hopa, ki āku kōrero,kia whai taringa ki āku kupu katoa.²Nanā, kua puaki nei tōku māngai,kei te kōrero tōku arero i roto i tōku māngai.³Mā āku kupu e whakapuaki te tika o tōku ngākau;ka kōrero pono ōku ngutu i tā rātou e mātau ana.⁴He mea hanga ahau nā te Wairua o te Atua,ā, nā te manawa o te Kaha Rawa ahau i whai ora ai.⁵Ki te taea e koe, whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau;whakatikaia āu kōrero ki tōku aroaro; e tū ki runga.⁶Nanā, ko tōku anga ki te Atua he pēnā hoki i tāu;he mea hanga nei anō hoki ahau ki te paru.⁷Nanā, e kore te wehi ki ahau e whakawehi i a koe;e kore anō hoki tōku ringa e taimaha iho ki a koe.

⁸“He pono kua hakiri ōku taringa ki āu kupu,ā, kua rongo atu ahau i te reo o āu kupu, e mea ana,⁹‘He mā ahau, kāhore ōku hē;he harakore ahau, kāhore hoki he kino i roto i ahau.¹⁰Nā, e rapu ana ia i te take riri ki ahau,e kīia ana ahau e ia he hoariri nōna;¹¹e karapitia ana e ia ōku waewae ki te rākau,e āta titiro ana ia ki ōku hīkoinga katoa.’

¹²“Nanā, māku e whawhati tāu kupu,ehara tēnei mea āu i te mea tika;nui atu hoki te Atua i te tangata.¹³He aha koe i totohe ai ki a ia?E kore hoki e kōrerotia e ia te tikanga o tētahi o āna mea.¹⁴Kotahi hoki, āe rā, e rua kōrerotanga a te Atua,otiia kāhore e maharatia e te tangata.¹⁵I te moe, i te putanga moemoeā mai o te pō,ina au iho te moe o te tangata,i ngā moenga i runga i te takotoranga;¹⁶ko reira ia whakapuare ai i ngā taringa o ngā tāngata,hīri ai hoki i te ako mō rātou;¹⁷kia whakanekehia ai te tangata i tāna whakaaro,kia hīpokina ai hoki te whakapehapeha o te tangata;¹⁸e puritia ana e ia tōna wairua kei tae ki te rua,tōna ora kei riro i te hoari.¹⁹E whiua ana hoki ia ki te mamae i runga i tōna moenga,ki te ngau tonu hoki o ōna wheua;²⁰ā, whakarihariha ana tōna ora ki te taro,tōna wairua ki te kai whakaminamina.²¹E honia ana ōna kiko, ā, kore noa e kitea;ā, pūrero mai ana ōna wheua kīhai nei i kitea i mua.²²Heoi, e whakatata ana tōna wairua ki te rua,tōna ora ki ngā kaiwhakamate.

²³“Ki te mea he karere tērā kei a ia,he kaiwhakaatu tikanga tētahi i roto i te mano,hei whakaatu i tōna tika ki te tangata:²⁴Nā, ka tohu tērā i a ia, ā, ka mea,‘Whakaorangia ia kei heke ki te rua,kua kitea hoki e ahau he utu.’²⁵Ko tōna kiri ka ngāwari atu i tō te tamaiti;ka hoki iho ia ki ngā rā o tōna tamarikitanga.²⁶Ka īnoi ia ki te Atua, ā, ka manako tērā ki a ia;heoi ka kite ia i tōna mata i runga i te koa;ā, ka utua e ia te tika o te tangata.²⁷E waiata ana ia i te aroaro o ngā tāngata, e mea ana,‘Kua hara ahau, whakaparoritia ake e ahau te tika,ā, kāhore he pai ki ahau.²⁸Kua whakaorangia e ia tōku wairua kei riro ki te rua,ā, e kite tōku wairua i te mārama.’

²⁹“Nanā, e meatia ana ēnei mea katoa e te Atua,e tuaruatia ana, āe, e tuatorutia ana, ki te tangata,³⁰hei whakahoki mai i tōna wairua i roto i te rua,kia whakamāramatia ai ki te mārama o te ora.

³¹“Kia whai whakaaro mai, e Hopa, whakarongo mai ki ahau;kāti tāu, ā, ka kōrero ahau.³²Ki te mea he kupu tāu, utua mai tāku: kōrero,ko tāku hoki i pai ai kia whakatikaia tāu.³³Ki te kāhore, whakarongo ki ahau;noho puku koe, ā, māku koe e whakaako ki te whakaaro nui.”
