Ihāia 49 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Te Whakatakanga o te Pononga

1Whakarongo, e ngā motu, ki ahau;

kia whai whakaaro, e ngā iwi o tawhiti!

Nā Ihowā ahau i karanga, nō te kōpū mai anō;

nō ngā whēkau o tōku whaea i whakahua ai ia i tōku ingoa.

2Ā, meinga iho e ia tōku māngai hei hoari koi;

hunā ana ahau e ia ki te taumarumarunga iho o tōna ringa;

ā, meinga ana ahau e ia hei pere kua oti te oro;

kuhua ana ahau e ia ki tāna papa pere.

3I mea anō ia ki ahau, “Ko koe tāku pononga;

ko Īharaira, māu ka whai korōria ai ahau.”

4Ko ahau ia i mea, “Maumau māuiui noa ahau, he kore noa iho,

he tekateka noa i whakapaua ai e ahau tōku kaha;

rāia, kei a Ihowā he whakawā mōku,

kei tōku Atua hoki he wāhi māku.”

5Nā ākuanei, e ai tā Ihowā,

nāna nei ahau i whakaahua i te kōpū hei tangata māna,

hei whakahoki mai i a Hākopa ki a ia,

kia kohikohia ai a Īharaira ki a ia;

ka nui hoki ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowā,

ko tōku Atua hoki hei kaha mōku –

6āe rā, i mea ia,

“He mea nohinohi kia waiho koe hei tangata māku,

hei whakaara i ngā iwi o Hākopa,

hei whakahoki mai i ngā oranga o Īharaira;

ka hoatu anō koe e ahau hei mārama ki ngā tauiwi,

kia ai koe hei whakaoranga māku,

ā te pito rā anō o te ao.”

7Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,

a te kaihoko o Īharaira, a tōna Mea Tapu hoki,

ki tā te tangata e whakahāwea nei, ki tā te iwi e whakarihariha nei,

ki te pononga a ngā ariki,

“Ka kite ngā kīngi, ka whakatika anō,

ka koropiko hoki ngā rangatira;

he mea hoki nā Ihowā, he pono hoki ia,

nā te Mea Tapu o Īharaira; nāna hoki koe i whiriwhiri.”

Ngā Tamariki o Hiona e Kawea mai ki te Kāinga

8Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

“Nō te rā manakohanga atu i whakahoki kupu ai ahau ki a koe,

nō te rā whakaora hoki i āwhinatia ai koe e ahau;

māku anō koe e tiaki, ka hoatu anō koe e ahau

hei kawenata mō te iwi,

hei whakaara i te whenua,

hei mea kia nohoia ngā kāinga tupu kua ururuatia;

9hei mea ki ngā herehere, ‘Haere,’

ki te hunga i te pōuri, ‘Whakaatu i a koutou.’

“Ka kai rātou ki ngā ara,

ka ai hoki he wāhi kai mā rātou ki ngā pukepuke katoa.

10E kore rātou e matekai, e kore anō e matewai,

e kore hoki te werawera, te rā rānei,

e pakakinakina ki a rātou;

nō te mea ko tō rātou kaiatawhai hei ārahi i a rātou;

māna hoki rātou e ārahi ki ngā puna wai.

11Ā, ka waiho e ahau ōku maunga katoa hei ara,

ka whakateiteitia hoki ōku huanui.

12Nanā, ka haere mai ēnei i tawhiti;

nanā, ko ēnā i te raki, i te taha hoki ki te uru,

ko ēnā hoki i te whenua o Hinimi.”

13Waiata, e ngā rangi,

kia hari hoki, e te whenua;

kia pakaru mai tā koutou waiata, e ngā maunga!

Ka whakamārie hoki a Ihowā i tāna iwi,

ka aroha hoki ki āna kua tūkinotia nei.

14Otiia i mea a Hiona, “Kua whakarērea ahau e Ihowā,

kua wareware ahau i tōku Ariki.”

15“Tērā rānei e wareware i te wahine tāna kōhungahunga,

ā, kore ake ōna aroha ki te tamaiti a tōna kōpū?

E wareware anō rātou;

ko ahau nei, e kore ahau e wareware ki a koe.

16Nanā, kua tāia koe e ahau ki ngā kapu o ōku ringa;

kei tōku aroaro tonu ōu taiepa.

17Ka hohoro āu tamariki;

ka haere atu i roto i a koe ōu kaiwāwāhi, ōu kaiwhakamōtī.

18Tahuri ake ōu kanohi ā karapoi noa, titiro hoki;

ka huihui katoa ēnā, ka haere mai ki a koe.

E ora ana ahau,” e ai tā Ihowā,

“inā, ka kākahu koe i a rātou, ānō he mea whakapaipai,

ka herehere hoki i a rātou ki a koe,

kei ngā mea o te wahine mārena hou te rite.

19“Nā, ko ōu wāhi ururua,

ko ōu wāhi kua tūheatia me tōu whenua kua hunā –

he pono ka kōpiri rawa koe mō ngā kainoho,

ā, ka matara atu ōu kaiwhakamōtī.

20Ko ngā tamariki i whakapania ai koe,

tērā anō rātou e mea ki ōu taringa,

‘E kikī ana te wāhi nei mōku;

whakawāteatia atu, kia noho ai ahau.’

21Ā, ka mea koe i tōu ngākau,

‘Nā wai ēnei i whānau ai ki ahau,

kua whakakorea nei āku tamariki i ahau,

he moke, he pārau, he kōpikopiko nei ahau?

Nā wai rā ēnei i whakatupu ake?

Nanā, i waiho mokemoke ahau –

ko ēnei, i hea rā ēnei?’ ”

22Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:

“Nanā, ka ara atu tōku ringa ki ngā tauiwi,

ka tū hoki tāku kara ki ngā iwi;

ā, ka maua mai e rātou āu tama, awhi rawa ki ō rātou uma,

ka kawea mai hoki āu tamāhine i runga i ō rātou pokohiwi.

23Ā, hei mātua atawhai mōu ngā kīngi,

ko ā rātou kuīni hoki hei kaiwhakangote mōu.

Ka piko iho rātou ki a koe, tāpapa rawa ki te whenua,

ka mitimiti hoki i te puehu o ōu waewae.

Ā, ka mōhio koe ko Ihowā ahau;

e kore hoki te hunga e tatari ana ki ahau e whakamā.”

24Tērā rānei e tangohia ngā taonga pārau i te tangata kaha,

e mawhiti rānei te tangata kua tika nei tōna hereherenga?

25Nā, ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

“Inā, ka tangohia mai ngā herehere a te tangata kaha,

ka whakahokia mai anō ngā taonga pārau a te nanakia;

ka ngangare anō ahau ki te tangata e ngangare ana ki a koe,

ka whakaora hoki i āu tamariki.

26Ā, ka whāngaia atu e ahau tō rātou kikokiko ake mā ōu kaiwhakatupu kino;

ka haurangi anō rātou i ō rātou ake toto, me te mea nā te wāina reka.

Ā, ka mōhio ngā kikokiko katoa ko ahau,

ko Ihowā, e whakaora nei i a koe,

ko tōu kaihoko hoki, ko te Mea Nui o Hākopa.”
