1Whakarongo ki te kupu kua kōrerotia nei e Ihowā ki a koutou, e te whare o Īharaira;
2ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:
“Kaua e ākona te ara o ngā tauiwi,
kaua anō e wehi i ngā tohu o te rangi;
e wehi ana hoki ngā tauiwi i aua mea.
3He mea teka noa hoki ngā tikanga a ngā iwi:
e tapahia ana hoki e tētahi he rākau i roto i te ngahere,
he mahi nā ngā ringa o te kaimahi, ki te tītaha.
4Kei te whakapaipai i taua mea ki te hiriwa, ki te kōura,
whakamau rawa ki ngā titi, ki ngā hama,
tē taea te whakakorikori.
5He rite aua mea ki te nīkau, i āta mahia,
kāhore ia he kupu;
me amo,
he kore nō rātou e haere.
Kaua e wehi i a rātou,
nō te mea e kore e taea e rātou te kino,
kāhore hoki e āhei i a rātou te mea i te pai.”
6Kāhore rawa he rite mōu, e Ihowā;
he nui koe, he nui anō tōu ingoa i runga i te kaha.
7Ko wai e kore e wehi i a koe, e te Kīngi o ngā iwi?
He tika hoki tēnā ki a koe.
Nō te mea i roto i ngā tāngata whakaaro nui katoa o ngā iwi,
i roto i ō rātou kīngitanga katoa,
kāhore he rite mōu.
8Huihuia rātou, he pōauau rawa, he wairangi;
ko tā ngā whakapakoko e whakaako ai,
he rākau tonu ia!
9E maua mai ana he hiriwa pāraharaha i Tarahihi,
he kōura i Upata.
He mahi nā te kaimahi nā ngā ringa anō o te kaiwhakarewa kōura:
he purū, he pāpura ō rātou kākahu;
he mea mahi katoa nā te hunga tohunga.
10Ko Ihowā ia te Atua pono;
ko ia te Atua ora, he kīngi pūmau tonu.
Ka riri ia, ka wiri te whenua,
e kore anō ngā iwi e kaha ake ina āritarita ia.
11“Kia pēnei tā koutou kī atu ki a rātou: ‘Ko ngā atua kīhai nei i hanga i te rangi, i te whenua, ka ngaro i runga i te whenua, i raro atu anō hoki i ngā rangi.’ ”
12Nāna i hanga te whenua, nā tōna kaha hoki;
ko te ao he mea whakapūmau nā ōna whakaaro nui;
ko ngā rangi he mea hora nā tōna mātauranga.
13Ka puaki tōna reo, he haruru wai kei ngā rangi,
e meinga ana e ia ngā kohu kia pupū ake i ngā pito o te whenua.
E hangā ana e ia ngā uira mō te ua,
e whakaputaina mai ana te hau i roto i ōna whare taonga.
14Pōauau kau ngā tāngata katoa, ā, kāhore he mōhio;
ko ngā kaiwhakarewa kōura katoa whakamā iho i te whakapakoko.
He mea teka hoki tāna i whakarewa ai,
kāhore hoki he wairua i roto.
15He horihori kau rātou, he mahi pōhēhē;
i te wā e pā ai ia ki a rātou ka ngaro.
16Kāhore e rite ki ērā te wāhi i a Hākopa;
ko ia hoki te kaiwhakaahua o ngā mea katoa;
ko Īharaira hoki te iwi o tōna kāinga tupu,
ko Ihowā o ngā mano tōna ingoa.
Te Manenetanga e Haere mai nei17Kohikohia āu mea i te whenua,
e koe e noho nā i te pā e whakapaea ana.
18Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā:
“Tēnei ahau te piupiu atu nei i ngā tāngata o te whenua
i tēnei wā,
te whakatupu kino nei hoki i a rātou,
kia kitea ai e rātou.”
19Auē te mate i ahau,
mamae rawa tōku marūtanga.
Otiia, kua mea nei ahau, “He pono nōku tēnei mate,
me whakamanawanui.”
20Kua pāhuatia tōku tēneti,
ko āku aho motumotu katoa.
Kua riro atu āku tamariki i tōku taha, kua kore;
kāhore ake he tangata hei whakamārō i tōku tēneti,
hei whakaara i ōku kākahu ārai.
21Kua pōauau nei hoki ngā hēpara;
kīhai a Ihowā i rapua e rātou;
nā reira i kore ai e tika tā rātou,
ka marara hoki ā rātou kāhui katoa.
22Nanā, te haere mai nei te reo o ngā kōrero,
nui atu te whakaohooho nō te whenua ki te raki,
hei mea i ngā pā o Hūrā hei ururua, hei nohoanga,
mō ngā kīrehe mohoao.
23E mōhio ana anō ahau, e Ihowā, kāhore o te tangata ara i a ia ake anō;
kāhore hoki i te tangata e hāereere nei māna
e whakatikatika ōna hīkoinga.
24Pākia ahau, e Ihowā, me te whakariterite anō ia;
kauaka ina riri koe, kei kāhore ahau i a koe.
25Ringihia atu tōu riri ki ngā tauiwi kāhore nei e mātau ki a koe,
ki ngā hapū kāhore nei e karanga ki tōu ingoa.
Kua pau hoki a Hākopa i a rātou,
āe rā, pau rawa, mōtī rawa,
ko tōna nohoanga hoki whakaururuatia ana e rātou.
