Hopa 38 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ka Whakautu a Ihowā ki a Hopa

1Kātahi a Ihowā ka whakahoki kupu ki a Hopa i roto i te tūkauati, ā, ka mea:

2“Ko wai tēnei e whakapōuri nei i ngā whakaaro

ki ngā kupu kāhore ōna mātauranga?

3Tēnā rā, whītikiria tōu hope, whakatāne;

ka ui hoki ahau ki a koe,

ā, māu e whakaatu mai ki ahau.

4“I hea koia koe i ahau e whakatakoto ana i te tūranga o te whenua?

Whakaaturia mai, ki te mea e mōhio ana koe ki te whakaaro.

5Nā wai i whakarite ōna rūri? Ki te mea e mōhio ana koe;

nā wai hoki i whakamārō te aho ki runga?

6I whakaūkia ōna tūranga ki runga ki te aha?

Nā wai hoki i whakatakoto tōna kōhatu kokonga;

7i te mea i waiata ngātahi ngā whetū o te ata,

ā, i hāmama ngā tama katoa a te Atua i te koa?

8“Nā wai hoki i tūtaki te moana ki te tatau, i a ia e puta mai ana,

me te mea e whānau mai ana i roto i te kōpū?

9I ahau rā i mea ai i te kapua hei kākahu mōna,

i te pōuri kerekere hei tākai mōna.

10Ā, whakapuakina ana e ahau tāku tikanga mōna,

mea rawa ki ngā tūtaki, ki ngā tatau,

11me tāku kī atu anō, ‘Ka taea mai e koe a konei, kāti;

hei konei ōu ngaru whakakake mau ai’?

12“Ko koe koia, i ōu rā nei, te kaiwhakahau i te ata;

nāu rānei te pūaotanga i mōhio ai ki tōna wāhi;

13kia rurukutia e ia ngā pito o te whenua,

ā, ruperupea ake ngā tāngata kikino i roto?

14Kua whiti kē, kua pērā anō me te paru i te hīri;

tū ake ana ngā mea katoa ānō he kākahu.

15Ā, e kaiponuhia ana tō rātou mārama ki te hunga kino,

whati iho te ringa whakakake.

16“Kua tae atu rānei koe ki ngā mātāpuna o te moana?

Kua whakatakina haeretia rānei e koe te rire?

17Kua whakapuaretia rānei ki a koe ngā kūwaha o te mate?

Kua kite rānei koe i ngā kūwaha o te ātārangi o te mate?

18Kua oti rānei te whakaaro e koe te whānuitanga o te whenua?

Kōrero mai, ki te mea e mōhiotia katoatia ana e koe.

19“Kei hea te ara ki te nohoanga o te mārama?

Te pōuri hoki, kei hea tōna wāhi?

20Kia kawea atu ai e koe ki tōna rohe,

ā, mōhio iho koe ki ngā huarahi ki tōna whare?

21I mōhio pea koe nō te mea i whānau koe i taua wā,

ā, he maha ōu rā!

22“Kua tomo rānei koe ki ngā takotoranga o te hukarere,

kua kite rānei koe i ngā takotoranga o te whatu,

23i āku i rongoā ai mō te wā o te hē,

mō te rā o te tatauranga, o te pakanga?

24Tēnā koa, te ara i marara atu ai te mārama,

i pakaru atu ai te marangai ki runga ki te whenua?

25“Nā wai i wehe he awa mō te waipuke,

he ara mō te uira o te whatitiri;

26kia ua ai ki te whenua, ki te wāhi kāhore nei he tangata;

ki te koraha, kāhore nei ō reira tangata;

27hei whakamākona i te tūhea, i te ururua;

hei mea kia pariri te tupu o te otaota hou?

28“He matua tāne anō rānei tō te ua?

I whānau rānei i a wai ngā pata o te tōmairangi?

29I puta mai i roto i tō wai kōpū te huka tio?

Ko te huka o te rangi, he whānau tēnā nā wai?

30Me te mea he kōhatu e huna ana i te wai;

ā, whakatotoka ana te mata o te rire.

31“E taea rānei e koe te here te huihui o Matariki,

e wewete rānei ngā here o Tautoru?

32E taea rānei e koe te ārahi mai te Mataroto i tōna wā,

te taki mai rānei a Aketura rātou ko tāna rōpū?

33E mōhio ana rānei koe ki ngā tikanga o te rangi?

Māu rānei e whai mana ai ki runga ki te whenua?

34“E ara rānei i a koe tōu reo ki ngā kapua,

kia nui ai ngā wai hei taupoki i a koe?

35E taea rānei e koe ngā uira te unga atu, e haere ai rātou,

me tā rātou kī anō ki a koe, ‘Tēnei mātou’?

36Nā wai i whakanoho ngā whakaaro nunui ki ngā wāhi o roto?

Nā wai i hōmai ngā mahara ki te ngākau?

37Ko wai te mea whakaaro nui hei tatau i ngā kapua?

Ko wai hei tāhoro i ngā ipu o te rangi?

38Ina ka papatupu te puehu anō he mea whakarewa,

ā, ka piri ngā pōkuru ki a rātou anō?

39“Māu rānei e hopu he kai mā te raiona?

Māu e nui ai he oranga mō ngā kūao raiona,

40ina tāpapa iho rātou i ō rātou nohoanga,

ina noho i te piringa whanga ai?

41Nā wai i rite ai tāna kai mā te raweni,

ina tangi āna pī ki te Atua,

ina kōpikopiko rātou i te kore kai?”
