Te Whakaoranga o Hūrā me Īharaira

¹ Īnoia he ua i a Ihowā i te wā o tō muri ua; arā i a Ihowā e hanga nei i ngā uira. He nui anō te ua e hōmai e ia ki a rātou, he tarutaru i te māra mā tēnei mā tēnei.

² He tekateka noa hoki te kōrero a ngā terapimi, he teka te kite a ngā tohunga, he horihori ngā moe i kōrerotia e rātou; he hanga noa iho tā rātou whakamārie. Nā reira, haere ana rātou ānō he kāhui hipi; kārangirangi kau ana i te kore hēpara.

³ “I mura tōku riri ki ngā hēpara, i whiua anō e ahau ngā koati toa; kua tae mai hoki a Ihowā o ngā mano ki tāna kāhui, ki te whare o Hūrā, kua mea i a rātou hei hōiho ātanga mōna i te tatauranga.

⁴ “Nō roto i a ia te putanga ake o te kōhatu o te kokonga, nō roto i a ia te whao, nō roto i a ia te kōpere mō te tatauranga, nō roto i a ia ngā kaiakiaki katoa, rūpeke, rūpeke.

⁵ Ā, ka rite rātou ki ngā mārohirohi e takatakahi ana i ō rātou hoariri ki te paru o ngā waharoa i te mea e whawhai ana; ka whawhai anō rātou, nō te mea kei a rātou a Ihowā, ā, ka whakamā ngā kaieke hōiho.

⁶ “Nā, ka kaha i ahau te whare o Hūrā, ka ora anō i ahau te whare o Hōhepa. Ka whakahokia ki te nohoanga; nō te mea ka tohungia rātou e ahau, ā, me te mea kīhai rātou i peia e ahau; ko ahau hoki, ko Ihowā, tō rātou Atua, ka whakarongo anō ahau ki a rātou.

⁷ Nā, ka rite ngā Ēparaimi ki te mārohirohi, ka koa anō tō rātou ngākau me te mea nā te wāina. Ka kite anō ā rātou tamariki, ā, ka koa; ka whakamanamana tō rātou ngākau ki a Ihowā.

⁸ “Ka hī ahau ki a rātou, ka huihui i a rātou; kua hokona hoki rātou e ahau; ā, ka tini rātou, ka pērā me rātou i tini rā.

⁹ Ā, ka whakatōkia rātou e ahau ki roto ki ngā iwi, ka mahara anō rātou ki ahau i ngā whenua tawhiti, ka ora hoki rātou me ā rātou tamariki, ā, ka hoki.

¹⁰ Ka whakahokia mai anō rātou e ahau i te whenua o Īhipa, ka huihuia mai i Ahiria. Ka kawea anō ki te whenua o Kireara, ki Repanōna, tē kitea he wāhi mō rātou.

¹¹ Nā, ka tika atu ia i waenga moana, arā i te raruraru, ā, ka patu i ngā ngaru i te moana, ka maroke hoki ngā wāhi hōhonu o te awa. Ā, ka riro iho te whakapehapeha o Ahiria, ka riro kē anō te hēpeta a Īhipa.

¹² Ka whakakahangia anō rātou e ahau i runga i a Ihowā; ka hāereere hoki rātou i runga i tōna ingoa,” e ai tā Ihowā.
