Ngā Tangi 3 - Paipera Tapu 2012

He Tāne Whakapoururu

¹ Ko ahau te tangata kua kite i te pōuri, he mea nā te rākau o tōna riri.

² I ārahina e ia, i meinga kia haere i te pōuri, kāhore i te mārama.

³ He pono kua tahuri mai ia ki ahau, kua anga mai tōna ringa ki ahau, ā pau noa te rā.

⁴ Kua meinga nei e ia ōku kikokiko me tōku kiri kia rite ki ō te koroheke, mangungu kau i a ia ōku wheua.

⁵ Kua hangā e ia he patu mōku; karapotia ana ahau ki te wai kawa, ki te raruraru.

⁶ Kua meinga ahau e ia kia noho ki ngā wāhi pōuri, kia pērā me te hunga kua mate noa ake.

⁷ Kua oti ahau te taiepa mai e ia, tē puta atu ahau; kua meinga e ia tōku mekameka kia taimaha.

⁸ Āe rā, i ahau e karanga ana, e hāmama ana kia āwhinatia, ka āraia mai e ia tāku īnoi.

⁹ Kua oti anō ōku ara te taiepa mai e ia ki te kōhatu tārai, whakakōpikopikoa ake e ia ōku ara.

¹⁰ Ko tōna rite ki ahau kei te pea e whanga ana, kei te raiona i ngā wāhi ngaro.

¹¹ Whakangaua kētia ana e ia ōku ara, haehaea pūtia iho ahau; meinga ana ahau e ia kia noho kau noa iho.

¹² Kua whakapikoa e ia tāna kōpere, ā, whakatūria ake ahau e ia hei kōperenga pere.

¹³ Kua meinga e ia ngā pere o tāna papa pere kia ngoto ki ōku whatumanawa.

¹⁴ Kua waiho ahau hei katanga mā tōku iwi katoa; hei waiata mā rātou ā pau noa te rā.

¹⁵ Kua whakakīia ahau e ia ki ngā mea kawa, whakainumia rawatia ana ahau e ia ki te taru kawa.

¹⁶ Kua whatiwhatiia anō hoki e ia ōku niho ki te kirikiri, hīpokina ana ahau e ia ki te pungarehu.

¹⁷ Kua nekehia atu e koe tōku wairua kei tata ki te rangimārie; i wareware ahau ki te pai.

¹⁸ Kī tonu ake ahau, “Kua pirau tōku kaha, kāhore he tūmanakohanga māku ki a Ihowā.”

¹⁹ Mahara ki tōku ngākau mamae, ki tōku pōuri, ki te taru kawa, ki te wai kawa!

²⁰ Māharahara tonu tōku wairua ki a rātou, piko tonu iho i roto i ahau.

²¹ E whakahokia ake ana tēnei e ahau ki tōku ngākau, koia i tūmanako ai ahau.

²² He mahi tohu nā Ihowā tē poto ai tātou, he kore nō āna mahi aroha e mutu.

²³ E hou tonu ana rātou i tēnei ata, i tēnei ata; he nui tōu pono.

²⁴ “Ko Ihowā te wāhi mōku,” e ai tā tōku wairua; “nō reira ka tūmanako ahau ki a ia.”

²⁵ He pai a Ihowā ki te hunga e tūmanako ana ki a ia, ki te wairua e rapu ana i a ia.

²⁶ He pai anō kia tūmanako te tangata, kia tatari mārie hoki ki tā Ihowā whakaora.

²⁷ He pai anō mō te tangata kia amohia e ia te ioka i tōna tamarikitanga.

²⁸ Me noho ia, tōna kotahi, me whakarongo puku hoki, nō te mea nāna i uta ki a ia.

²⁹ Me tuku e ia tōna māngai ki te puehu; mehemea pea tērā he tūmanakohanga.

³⁰ Me hoatu e ia tōna pāpāringa ki te tangata e papaki ana i a ia; kia kī tonu ia i te tāwai.

³¹ E kore hoki e mau tonu tā Ihowā panga.

³² Ahakoa whakapōuri ia, ka aroha anō ia, ka rite ki te nui o tāna mahi tohu.

³³ Kāhore hoki ōna ngākau whiu, whakapōuri rānei, i ngā tama a te tangata.

³⁴ Ko te kuru i ngā herehere katoa o te whenua ki raro i ōna waewae;

³⁵ ko te whakapeau kē i te tika o te tangata ina whakawākia i te aroaro o te Runga Rawa;

³⁶ ko te whakariro kē i tā te tangata ina totohe, e kore tēnā e whakapaingia e te Ariki.

³⁷ Ko wai tēnei hei kī mai, ā, ka oti, i te mea kīhai i whakahaua e te Ariki?

³⁸ He teka ianei e puta mai ana te kino me te pai i roto i te māngai o te Runga Rawa?

³⁹ He aha te tangata ora i amuamu ai, te tangata ina whiua mō ōna hara?

⁴⁰ E rapu tātou, e kimi i ō tātou ara, ā, ka tahuri anō ki a Ihowā.

⁴¹ Kia ara atu ō tātou ngākau me ō tātou ringa ki te Atua i te rangi.

⁴² I hē mātou, i whakakeke; kīhai anō koe i muru i tō mātou hē.

⁴³ Kua hīpokina nei e koe ki te riri, tūkinotia ana mātou e koe; tukitukia ana e koe, kīhai anō i tohungia e koe.

⁴⁴ Hīpokina ana e koe he kapua ki a koe, kei puta atu tā mātou īnoi.

⁴⁵ Kua meinga mātou e koe hei paru tāhinga, hei mea ākiri i waenga i ngā iwi.

⁴⁶ Kua hāmama mai ngā māngai o ō mātou hoariri katoa ki a mātou.

⁴⁷ Ko te wehi, ko te rua, kua tae mai kei a mātou, te whakamōtī me te wāwāhi.

⁴⁸ Kei te tārere nei ngā awa wai i tōku kanohi, mō te wawāhanga o te tamāhine a tōku iwi.

⁴⁹ Māturuturu ana te wai i tōku kanohi, kāhore hoki e mutu, tē ai he pārīrātanga,

⁵⁰ kia titiro mai rā anō a Ihowā, kia kite mai rā anō ia i runga i te rangi.

⁵¹ E meatia iho ana tōku ngākau e tōku kanohi, mō ngā tamāhine katoa o tōku pā.

⁵² Kua whāia kinotia ahau ānō he manu e rātou, e te hunga e hoariri ana ki ahau, kāhore he take.

⁵³ Ngaro iho i a rātou tōku ara i roto i te poka, kua makā e rātou he kōhatu ki runga ki ahau.

⁵⁴ I rere ngā wai i runga i tōku māhunga; i mea ahau, “Kua motuhia kētia ahau.”

⁵⁵ I karanga ahau ki tōu ingoa, e Ihowā, i roto i te poka i raro rawa.

⁵⁶ I rongo koe ki tōku reo; “Kaua e hunā tōu taringa ki te tānga o tōku manawa, ki tāku karanga.”

⁵⁷ I whakatata mai koe i te rā i karanga ai ahau ki a koe; i kī mai koe, “Kaua e wehi.”

⁵⁸ Kua tohea e koe, e te Ariki, ngā tohe a tōku wairua; kua hokona e koe tōku ora.

⁵⁹ Kua kite koe, e Ihowā, i te hē i mahia ki ahau. Māu e whakarite tāku whakawā.

⁶⁰ Kua kite koe i tō rātou mauāhara katoa, i ō rātou whakaaro katoa mōku.

⁶¹ Kua rongo koe ki tā rātou tāwai, e Ihowā, ki ō rātou whakaaro katoa mōku;

⁶² ki ngā ngutu o te hunga i whakatika mai ki ahau, ki tā rātou tikanga mōku, ā pau noa te rā.

⁶³ Tirohia mai tō rātou nohoanga iho, tō rātou whakatikanga ake; ko ahau te waiatatia nei e rātou.

⁶⁴ Hoatu he utu ki a rātou, e Ihowā, kia rite ki te mahi a ō rātou ringa.

⁶⁵ Hoatu ki a rātou he ngākau pakeke, tāu kanga ki a rātou.

⁶⁶ Whāia rātou i runga i te riri, whakangaromia atu rātou i raro i ngā rangi o Ihowā.
