Ekoruhe 18 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ka Toro a Ietoro ki a Mohi

1Ā, ka rongo a Ietoro, te tohunga o Miriana, te hungawai o Mohi, ki ngā mea katoa i meatia e te Atua ki a Mohi, ki a Īharaira hoki, ki tāna iwi; ki a Ihowā anō hoki kua whakaputa mai i a Īharaira i Īhipa.

2Kātahi a Ietoro, hungawai o Mohi, ka tango i a Hipora, wahine a Mohi, i muri nei i tāna tononga i a ia kia hoki,

3me āna tamariki tokorua, ko te ingoa o tētahi ko Kerehoma, i mea hoki ia, “He manene ahau i te whenua kē,”

4ko te ingoa hoki o tētahi ko Eriētere; “Mōku hoki i āwhinatia mai e te Atua o tōku pāpā, nāna hoki ahau i whakaora i te hoari a Parao.”

5Nā, ka haere mai a Ietoro, te hungawai o Mohi, rātou ko āna tamariki, ko tāna wahine, ki a Mohi, ki te koraha i noho ai ia, ki te maunga o te Atua.

6Ā, ka mea ki a Mohi, “Ko ahau, ko Ietoro, ko tōu hungawai, kua tae mai ki a koe, me tāu wahine, rātou ko āna tama tokorua.”

7Nā, ka haere a Mohi ki te whakatau i tōna hungawai, ā, ka tuohu, ka kihi hoki i a ia; ā, ka ui rāua ki a rāua ki te pai i tētahi, i tētahi; ā, haere ana rāua ki te tēneti.

8Nā, ka kōrerotia e Mohi ki tōna hungawai ngā mea katoa i meatia e Ihowā ki a Parao rātou ko ngā Īhipiana, mō Īharaira, me ngā mate katoa hoki i pono ki a rātou i te ara, me rātou hoki kua whakaorangia nei e Ihowā.

9Nā, ka hari a Ietoro mō ngā mea pai katoa i meatia e Ihowā ki a Īharaira, mō rātou hoki i whakaorangia e ia i te ringa o ngā Īhipiana,

10ā, ka mea a Ietoro, “Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā nāna nei koutou i whakaora i te ringa o ngā Īhipiana, i te ringa hoki o Parao; nāna hoki te iwi nei i whakaora i raro i te ringa o ngā Īhipiana.

11Kātahi ahau ka mōhio he nui ake a Ihowā i ngā atua katoa; āe rā, i te mea hoki ka whakapehapeha rātou, hira ake ana anō ia i a rātou.”

12Nā, ka tangohia e Ietoro, e te hungawai o Mohi tētahi tahunga tinana me ētahi patunga tapu mā te Atua; ā, haere mai ana a Ārona, me ngā kaumātua katoa o Īharaira, ki te hungawai o Mohi, ki te kai taro ki te aroaro o te Atua.

Te Whakatū o he Kaiwhakawā(Tiuteronomi 1.9-18)

13Ā, i te aonga ake o te rā ka noho a Mohi ki te whakawā i te iwi; ā, ka tū te iwi i te taha o Mohi nō te ata ā ahiahi noa.

14Ā, nō te kitenga o te hungawai o Mohi i ngā mea katoa i mea ai ia ki te iwi, ka mea ia, “He aha tēnei mea e mea nei koe ki te iwi? He aha koe i noho ai ko koe anake, i tū ai hoki te iwi katoa i tōu taha nō te ata ā tae noa ki te ahiahi?”

15Ā, ka mea a Mohi ki tōna hungawai, “E haere mai ana hoki te iwi ki ahau, ki te rapu tikanga i te Atua.

16Ka ai he mea ki a rātou, nā, ka haere mai ki ahau; ā, māku e whakarite te whakawā a tētahi ki tētahi; e whakaatu hoki ngā tikanga a te Atua me āna ture.”

17Nā, ka mea te hungawai o Mohi ki a ia, “Ehara tēnei i te pai e mea nei koe.

18Ka honia noatia iho koe, koutou tahi ko tēnei iwi i a koe nei; he pēhi rawa hoki tēnei mea i a koe; e kore e taea e koe anake.

19Nā, whakarongo mai ki tōku reo, māku koe e tohutohu; hei a koe te Atua, hei te aroaro o te Atua koe mō te iwi, ā, māu e kawe ngā kōrero ki te Atua.

20Māu anō rātou e whakaako ki ngā tikanga, ki ngā ture, e whakaatu hoki ki a rātou te huarahi e haere ai rātou, me ngā mahi e mahi ai rātou.

21Māu anō hoki e titiro i roto i te iwi katoa ētahi tāngata māia, e wehi ana i te Atua; hei te hunga pono, e kino ana ki te apo; ka waiho ai hei rangatira mō rātou, hei rangatira mō ngā mano, hei rangatira mō ngā rau, hei rangatira mō ngā rima tekau, hei rangatira mō ngā tekau.

22Ā, mā rātou te iwi e whakawā i ngā wā katoa; ā, ko ngā mea nunui katoa, me kawe mai ki a koe; ko ngā mea nohinohi katoa ia, mā rātou e whakarite; pēnei ka māmā koe, ā, mā koutou tahi te pīkaunga.

23Ki te mea koe i tēnei mea, ā, ka kī mai te Atua ki a koe, kātahi koe ka matatū ake, ā, ka haere mārie tēnei iwi katoa ki ō rātou kāinga.”

24Ā, rongo tonu a Mohi ki te kupu a tōna hungawai, ā, meatia katoatia iho e ia ngā mea i kōrero ai ia.

25Ā, whiriwhiria ana e Mohi ētahi tāngata māia i roto i a Īharaira katoa, ā, waiho iho rātou e ia hei upoko mō te iwi, hei rangatira mō ngā mano, hei rangatira mō ngā rau, hei rangatira mō ngā rima tekau, hei rangatira hoki mō ngā tekau.

26Ā, nā rātou te iwi i whakawā i ngā wā katoa; ko te mea pakeke i kawea e rātou ki a Mohi; ko ngā mea nohinohi katoa ia nā rātou anō i whakarite.

27Nā, ka tukua atu e Mohi tōna hungawai; ā, haere ana ia ki tōna whenua.
