Heremaia 1 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

1Ko ngā kupu a Heremaia tama a Hirikia, ko ia nei tētahi o ngā tohunga i Anatoto i te whenua o Pineamine.

2I puta nei ki a ia te kupu a Ihowā i ngā rā o Hōhia tama a Amono, kīngi o Hūrā, i te tekau mā toru o ngā tau o tōna kīngitanga.

3I puta anō hoki i ngā rā o Iehoiakimi tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā, ā taka noa te tekau mā tahi o ngā tau o Terekia tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā, taea noatia te whakaraunga o Hiruhārama i te rima o ngā marama.

Te Karanga me te Whakaritenga o Heremaia

4Nā, i puta te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea,

5“Kīanō koe i hangā e ahau i roto i te kōpū,

kua mōhio ahau ki a koe,

ā, kīanō koe i puta mai i te puku,

kua whakatapua koe e ahau;

kua whakaritea koe e ahau hei poropiti ki ngā iwi.”

6Nā, ka mea ahau, “Auē, e Ihowā, e te Atua, nanā, kāhore e taea e ahau te kōrero, he tamariki nei hoki ahau.”

7Anō rā ko Ihowā ki ahau, “Kaua e mea, ‘He tamariki ahau.’ Nō te mea, ahakoa ko wai te hunga e ungā atu ai koe e ahau, me haere tonu koe, me kōrero hoki e koe ngā mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe.

8Kaua e wehi i a rātou; kei a koe hoki ahau hei whakaora i a koe,” e ai tā Ihowā.

9Nā, ka totoro mai te ringa o Ihowā, ā, ka pā ki tōku māngai; ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau, “Nanā, kua hoatu nei e ahau āku kupu ki tōu māngai.

10Titiro, nō tēnei rā i meinga ai koe e ahau hei whakatakoto tikanga ki ngā iwi, ki ngā kīngitanga, hei unu atu, hei wāhi iho, hei whakangaro, hei turaki iho, hei hanga, hei whakatō.”

11I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea, “He aha te mea e kite nā koe, e Heremaia?”

Anō rā ko ahau, “He peka aramona tāku e kite nei.”

12Anō rā ko Ihowā ki ahau, “Ka pai tāu tirohanga atu; nō te mea ka tirohia e ahau tāku kupu, ka mahia.”

13Nā, ko te rua o ngā putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau; i mea ia, “He aha te mea e kite nā koe?”

Anō rā ko ahau, “He kōhua e koropupū ana tāku e kite nei, ā, ko tōna mata e anga mai ana i te raki.”

14Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau: “Ka puta mai i te raki he kino mō ngā tāngata katoa o te whenua.

15Tēnei hoki ahau te karanga nei ki ngā hapū katoa o ngā kīngitanga o te raki,” e ai tā Ihowā.

“Ā, ka haere mai rātou, ka whakatū i tōna torōna,

i tōna torōna, ki te tomokanga i ngā kūwaha o Hiruhārama,

ki ōna taiepa katoa, ā, karapoi noa,

ki ngā pā katoa anō o Hūrā.

16Ka puaki anō i ahau āku whakawākanga

ki a rātou mō ō rātou kino katoa;

mō rātou i whakarere i ahau,

i tahu whakakakara ki ngā atua kē,

i koropiko ki ngā mahi a ō rātou ringa.

17“Nā, ko koe, whītikiria tōu hope, whakatika, kōrerotia ki a rātou ngā mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe. Aua e wehi i a rātou, kei meinga koe e ahau kia numinumi kau ki tō rātou aroaro.

18Nō te mea hoki kua meinga koe e ahau i tēnei rā hei pā taiepa, hei pou rino, hei taiepa parāhi ki te whenua katoa, ki ngā kīngi o Hūrā, ki ōna rangatira, ki ōna tohunga, ki te iwi anō o te whenua.

19Ā, ka whawhai rātou ki a koe, otirā e kore koe e taea e rātou; nō te mea kei a koe ahau,” e ai tā Ihowā, “hei whakaora i a koe.”
