Ihāia 40 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ka Whakamārietia te Iwi a Ihowā

1Whakamārietia, whakamārietia tāku iwi,

e ai tā tō koutou Atua.

2Kōrero i runga i te whakamārie ki Hiruhārama,

karanga ki a ia,

kua mutu tāna whawhai,

kua murua tōna hē;

i haere rua hoki tā te ringa o Ihowā

ki a ia hei utu mō ōna hara katoa.

3He reo nō tētahi e karanga ana:

“Whakapaia e koutou i te koraha te huarahi o Ihowā,

whakatikaia i te tītōhea he ara nui mō tō tātou Atua.

4Ko ngā raorao katoa ka whakarewaina ake,

ko ngā maunga katoa me ngā pukepuke, ka whakapāpakutia iho;

ko ngā wāhi kōpikopiko ka meinga kia tika,

ko ngā wāhi taratara kia papatairite.

5Ka whakapuakina anō te korōria o Ihowā,

ā, ka kite ngātahi ngā kikokiko katoa;

he mea kōrero hoki tēnei nā te māngai o Ihowā.”

6I mea mai te reo o tētahi, “Karanga!”

Ā, ka mea tētahi, “Ko te aha kia karangatia e ahau?”

“He tarutaru ngā kikokiko katoa,

ā, ko tōna pai katoa, rite tonu ki te puāwai o te pārae.

7Ko te tarutaru ka maroke, ko te puāwai ka memenge,

nō te mea e hāngia ana e te Wairua o Ihowā;

he pono, he tarutaru te iwi.

8Ko te tarutaru e maroke, ko te puāwai e memenge;

ko te kupu ia a tō tātou Atua, tū tonu.”

9E koe, e te kaikawe o te rongo pai ki Hiona,

e piki ki te maunga tiketike.

E koe, e te kaikawe o te rongo pai ki Hiruhārama,

whakaarahia tōu reo, kia kaha;

whakaarahia, kaua hei wehi;

kōrero atu ki ngā pā o Hūrā,

“Nanā, tō koutou Atua!”

10Nanā, ka haere mai te Ariki, a Ihowā, i runga i te kaha,

ka whakahaerea anō tōna kīngitanga e tōna ringa;

nā, ko te utu mōna kei a ia anō,

kei tōna aroaro te wāhi māna.

11Ka rite ki tā te hēpara tāna whāngai i tāna kāhui,

ka whakaminea ngā reme e tōna ringa,

ka hikitia ki tōna uma,

ka āta ārahina ngā mea e whakangote ana.

12Nā wai i mēhua ngā wai ki te kapu o tōna ringa,

he whanganga ringaringa anō tāna rūri mō ngā rangi.

Whaowhina ake e ia te puehu o te whenua ki te mēhua,

ko ngā maunga, pāunatia ana e ia ki te pāuna ringaringa,

ko ngā pukepuke ki te pāuna papa?

13Nā wai tā te Wairua o Ihowā i tika ai?

Ko wai rānei tāna kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro hei whakaako i a ia?

14Ko wai tōna hoa whakatakoto whakaaro

hei tohutohu i a ia ki te ara o te whakawā,

hei whakaako i a ia ki te mātauranga,

hei whakakite i te ara o te mōhio ki a ia?

15Nanā, ko ngā iwi, ānō he pata wai i roto i te pere!

Ki tā te whakaaro he puehu ririki rātou i te pāuna;

nanā, ko ngā motu, maua ake e ia, he mea ririki rawa te rite.

16E kore anō e ranea a Repanōna mō te ahi,

me ngā kararehe hoki o reira, e kore e ranea hei tahunga tinana.

17Ko ngā iwi katoa, he kore noa iho i tōna aroaro;

iti iho rātou i te kāhore,

he horihori kau i tōna whakaaro.

18Nā, ka whakaritea e koutou te Atua ki a wai?

He aha hoki te āhua e whakaahuatia ai ia e koutou?

19Ko te whakapakoko, nā te kaimahi ia i whakarewa,

nā te kaitahu i whakakikorua ki te kōura,

ā, hangā ana mō reira he mekameka hiriwa.

20Ko te tangata, he rawakore rawa ia ki te hoatu whakahere pērā,

whiriwhiria ana e ia he rākau e kore e pirau;

rapua ana e ia he kaimahi mōhio māna,

hei hanga i tētahi whakapakoko e kore e nekenekehia.

21Kāhore ianei koutou i mōhio?

Kāhore koutou i rongo?

Kāhore ianei i kōrerotia ki a koutou i te tīmatanga?

Kāhore ianei koutou i mātau i ngā whakatūranga rā anō o te whenua?

22Ko ia te noho ana i runga i te porohita o te whenua,

ā, ko ō reira tāngata, ānō he māwhitiwhiti;

ko ngā rangi, horahia ana e ia ānō he kākahu tauārai,

horahia ana e ia ānō he tēneti hei nohoanga;

23ko ngā rangatira, whakahokia iho e ia ki te kāhore;

ko ngā kaiwhakawā o te whenua,

meinga ana e ia hei mea horihori noa iho.

24Āe rā, kāhore rātou i whakatōkia;

āe rā, kāhore rātou i ruia;

āe rā, kāhore tō rātou take i whai pakiaka ki te whenua;

ka pupuhi hoki ia ki a rātou, ā, ka maroke rātou;

ka rite ki te kakau wīti, ka kāwhakina e te paroro.

25“Nā, ki tā koutou, kei tō wai he āhua mōku?

Ka rite rānei ahau ki a wai?” e ai tā te Mea Tapu.

26E ara ō koutou kanohi ki runga titiro ai:

Nā wai ēnei mea i hanga?

Nā wai ō rātou mano i whakaputa mai he mea tatau tonu;

karangatia ana e ia ngā ingoa o rātou katoa,

māroro rawa, pakari tonu te kaha;

e kore tētahi e ngaro.

27He aha koe i kōrero ai, e Hākopa,

i mea ai, e Īharaira,

“Kua hunā tōku ara ki a Ihowā,

kua mahue i tōku Atua tōku whakawā”?

28Kāhore koe i mōhio?

Kāhore koe i rongo,

ko te Atua onamata, ko Ihowā,

ko te Kaihanga o ngā pito o te whenua.

E kore ia e ngenge, e kore ia e māuiui?

E kore tōna mātauranga e taea te rapu.

29E hōmai ana e ia he kaha ki te hunga ngenge;

ā, whakanuia ana e ia te pakari o te mea ngoikore.

30Ahakoa ko ngā taitamariki, ka ngenge tonu, ka māuiui,

ā, ko ngā taitama, ka hinga rawa.

31Tēnā ko te hunga e tatari ana ki a Ihowā,

puta hou ana he kaha mō rātou;

kake ana rātou ki runga; ko ngā parirau, koia ānō kei o ngā ēkara;

ka rere rātou, ā, e kore e māuiui;

ka haere, ā, e kore e ngenge.
