Heremaia 2 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ka Tohe a Ihowā ki a Īharaira kia Rīpenetā

1I puta anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea:

2“Haere, karanga ki ngā taringa o Hiruhārama, mea atu, Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

E mahara ana ahau ki a koe,

ki te mahi pai a tōu tamarikitanga,

ki te aroha i tōu mārenatanga,

i a koe i aru i ahau i te koraha,

i te whenua kīhai i whakatōkia.

3He tapu a Īharaira ki a Ihowā,

ko ngā mātāmua ia o ōna hua.

Ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a ia,

ka kīia he hē tā rātou;

ka pā te kino ki a rātou,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

4Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowā, e te whare o Hākopa,

e ngā hapū katoa o te whare o Īharaira.

5Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

“He aha tāku kino i mau i ō koutou mātua,

i matara atu ai rātou i ahau,

i whai ai rātou i te horihori,

ā, horihori iho rātou?

6Kāhore hoki ā rātou kīanga ake, ‘Kei hea a Ihowā,

nāna nei tātou i kawe mai i te whenua o Īhipa,

nāna nei tātou i ārahi i te koraha,

i te whenua tītōhea, he maha nei ngā rua,

i te whenua o te matewai, o te ātārangi o te mate,

i te whenua kīhai i haerea e te tangata,

kīhai anō i nohoia e te tangata?’

7Ā, nāku koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua maha ōna hua,

ki te kai i ōna hua, i ōna mea papai.

Nā, i tō koutou taenga mai, kei te whakapoke i tōku whenua,

meinga ana e koutou tōku wāhi tupu hei mea whakarihariha.

8Kāhore ngā tohunga i kī, ‘Kei hea a Ihowā?’

Ko ngā kairahurahu o te ture, kāhore i mātau ki ahau;

kua hē hoki ngā rangatira ki ahau;

ko ngā poropiti, nā Paara ngā tikanga i poropiti ai rātou,

whāia ana e rātou ngā mea kāhore nei he pai.

9“Mō reira ka totohe anō ahau ki a koutou,”

e ai tā Ihowā,

“ka totohe hoki ahau ki ngā tama a ā koutou tama.

10Tēnā rā, whiti atu ki ngā motu o Kitimi titiro ai;

unga tāngata anō ki Kerara, ka whakaaroaro mārie;

tirohia hoki mehemea tērā anō te rite o tēnei mea i mua.

11I whakaputaia kētia rānei ōna atua e tētahi iwi,

ehara nei anō i te atua?

Nā, ko tōku iwi, kua whakaputaina kētia e rātou tō rātou korōria

hei mea kāhore ōna pai.

12Mīharo mai, e ngā rangi, ki tēnei,

kia nui hoki te wehi, kia ngaro noa iho,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

13“Ka rua hoki ngā hē kua mahia nei e tāku iwi:

Ko ahau, ko te puna o ngā wai ora

kua mahue i a rātou,

haua iho e rātou ētahi poka, he poka pakaru,

e kore nei e mau te wai ki roto.

14He pononga rānei a Īharaira? He pononga i whānau ki te whare?

He aha ia i waiho ai hei pāhuatanga?

15Kua ngengere ngā raiona kūao ki a ia,

kua hāmama;

ā, kua meinga e rātou tōna whenua kia ururua;

kua tahuna ōna pā, kāhore hoki he tangata noho i reira.

16I pakaru anō tōu tumuaki

i ngā tamariki o Nopo, o Tahapanehe.

17He teka ianei nāu anō tēnei i mahi ki a koe,

i te mea nāu i whakarere a Ihowā, tōu Atua,

i a ia e ārahi ana i a koe i te ara?

18Tēnā rā ko te aha māu i te ara ki Īhipa

i inu ai koe i ngā wai o Hihoro?

He aha rānei māu i te ara ki Ahiria,

i inu ai koe i ngā wai o te awa?

19Ko tōu hē anō hei riri i tāu,

ko ōu tahuritanga kētanga anō hei papaki i a koe.

Kia mōhio koe, kia kite hoki,

he mea kino, he mea kawa,

kei tāu whakarerenga i a Ihowā, i tōu Atua,

kāhore hoki ōu wehi ki ahau,”

e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

20“I wāhia hoki tōu ioka e ahau i mua,

motumotuhia ana e ahau ōu here;

ā, kī mai ana koe, ‘E kore ahau e mahi!’

Heoi, i runga koe i ngā pukepuke tiketike katoa,

i raro hoki i ngā rākau kōuru nui katoa,

e koropiko ana, e kairau ana.

21He wāina pai anō koe i tāku whakatōkanga i a koe,

he momo pai katoa.

Nā te aha koe i puta kē ai ki ahau,

he mea kua heke te tupu, he wāina kē?

22Ahakoa i horoi koe i a koe ki te hōura,

ā, nui noa tāu hopi,

e mau ana anō tōu hē ki tōku aroaro,”

e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.

23“He pēhea tāu kī, ‘Kāhore ōku poke,

kīhai ahau i whai i a Paarimi’?

Tirohia iho ōu ara i te raorao,

kia mōhio ki āu mahi –

tōu rite, kei te kāmera tere, kōpikopiko tonu ōna ara;

24kei te kāihe mohoao kua mōhio ki te koraha,

e hongi ana i te hau mō tōna hiahia;

ka matenui ia ko wai hei whakahoki i a ia?

Ko te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a ia

e kore e whakangenge noa i a rātou;

i tōna marama anō ka kitea ia e rātou.

25Kaiponuhia tōu waewae, kei kore te hū,

tōu korokoro hoki kei mate i te wai.

Nā, kei te mea koe, ‘Kua hē!

Kāhore; he tāngata kē hoki āku i aroha ai,

ā, ko rātou tāku e whai ai.’

26“Ka whakamā te tāhae ina mau,

ka pēnā anō te whare o Īharaira, ka whakamā –

rātou ko ō rātou kīngi, ko ō rātou rangatira,

ko ō rātou tohunga, ko ō rātou poropiti.

27I a rātou e mea nā ki te rākau, ‘Ko koe tōku pāpā,’

ki te kāmaka, ‘I whānau ahau i roto i a koe.’

Hurihia ake e rātou ko te kōhamo ki ahau,

kāhore hoki te aroaro;

heoi i te wā e hē ai rātou, ka kī mai rātou,

‘Whakatika ki te whakaora i a mātou.’

28Kei hea rā ōu atua i hangā e koe mōu?

Kia whakatika rātou, ki te mea ka ora koe

i a rātou i te wā e hē ai koe.

Rite tonu hoki ki ōu pā

te maha o ōu atua, e Hūrā.

29“He aha te mea e totohe ai koutou ki ahau?

Kua mahi kē koutou katoa i te kino ki ahau,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

30“Maumau whiu noa ahau i ā koutou tamariki;

kīhai rātou i ākona.

Ko tā koutou hoari nāna i kai ō koutou poropiti,

i pērā anō me tā te raiona kai kino.

31“E te whakatupuranga nei, whakaaroa te kupu a Ihowā!

He koraha rānei ahau ki a Īharaira,

he whenua pōuri kerekere?

He aha tāku iwi i mea ai, ‘Kua matara mātou;

heoi anō ō mātou taenga atu ki a koe’?

32E wareware rānei te kōtiro ki āna whakapaipai,

te wahine mārena hou ki ōna whītiki?

Ko tāku iwi ia kua wareware ki ahau,

e kore ngā rā e taea te tatau.

33Tāu mahi ki te whakapai i tōu ara hei rapunga i te aroha!

Nā, kei te whakaako koe i ngā wāhine kikino anō hoki ki ōu ara.

34Kua kitea anō ki ngā remu o ōu kākahu

te toto o ngā wairua o ngā ware harakore.

Kīhai i kitea e ahau i te wāhi i pakaru ai,

engari i runga i ēnei katoa.

35Heoi, kei te kī nā koe, ‘He harakore nei ahau;

he pono e tahuri kē atu ana tōna riri i ahau.’

Nanā, ka whakawā ahau i a koe,

mō tāu kīanga, ‘Kāhore ōku hara.’

36He aha koe i kōpikopiko rawa ai,

i mea ai kia pōkaia kētia he ara mōu?

Ka whakamā anō koe ki Īhipa,

ka pērā me koe i whakamā rā ki Ahiria.

37Inā, ka haere atu anō koe i reira,

i runga anō ōu ringa i tōu mātenga,

nō te mea kua paopao a Ihowā ki ōu whakawhirinakitanga,

e kore anō koe e whai wāhi i ēnā.”
