Heremaia 15 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ka Heipū tonu te Whiunga

1Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau: “Ahakoa i tū a Mohi rāua ko Hamuera ki tōku aroaro, e kore ahau e whai ngākau ki tēnei iwi. Makā atu rātou i tōku aroaro, kia haere atu rātou.

2Nā, ki te mea rātou ki a koe, ‘Me haere mātou ki hea?’ kātahi koe ka mea ki a rātou, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

Ko ngā mea mō te mate, ki te mate,

ā, ko ngā mea mā te hoari, ki te hoari;

ko ngā mea hoki mō te hemokai, ki te hemokai;

ā, ko ngā mea mō te whakarau, ki te whakarau.’

3“E whā hoki ngā tū mea e whakaritea e ahau mō rātou,” e ai tā Ihowā, “ko te hoari hei whakamate, ko ngā kurī hei haehae, ā, ko ngā manu o te rangi, ko ngā kararehe hoki o te whenua hei kai, hei whakamōtī.

4Ka tukua hoki rātou e ahau kia poipoia haeretia i waenga i ngā kīngitanga katoa o te whenua, mō tā Mānahi tama a Hetekia kīngi o Hūrā, mō tāna i mea ai ki Hiruhārama.

5Ko wai oti e tohu i a koe, e Hiruhārama,

ko wai rānei e tangi ki a koe?

Ko wai e peka atu ki te ui,

kei te ora rānei koe?

6Kua whakarērea ahau e koe,” e ai tā Ihowā,

“kua hoki whakamuri koe.

Koia i totoro atu ai tōku ringa ki a koe, i whakamōtītia ai koe;

kua hōhā ahau ki te rīpenetā.

7Kua pōwhiriwhiritia rātou e ahau ki te mea pōwhiriwhiri

i ngā kūwaha o te whenua;

kua whakapania rātou e ahau i te tamariki,

kua ngaro i ahau tāku iwi;

kāhore rātou i tahuri mai i ō rātou ara.

8Ko ā rātou pouaru i tōku aroaro kua tokomaha atu

i te onepū o ngā moana;

kua kawea e ahau ki a rātou, hei hoariri mō te whaea o ngā taitama,

he kaipāhua i te poutūmārōtanga;

kua meinga e ahau kia pā whakarere

ki a ia te pāwera me te tūmatatenga.

9Ngohe kau te wahine ka tokowhitu nei āna tamariki;

kua hemo tōna wairua;

kua rere tōna rā i te mea ko te awatea nei anō;

kua whakamā hoki ia, kua numinumi kau.

Ka tukua atu hoki e ahau ō rātou mōrehu ki te hoari

i te aroaro o ō rātou hoariri,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

Ka Amuamu anō a Heremaia, ā, ka Whakaahurua

10Auē, tōku mate, e tōku whaea, i whānau mai ahau

i roto i a koe he tangata totohe,

he tangata ngangare ki te whenua katoa!

Kīhai ahau i whakatārewa atu i te moni whakatupu,

kīhai anō te moni whakatupu i whakatārewaina mai ki ahau;

otiia kei te kanga rātou katoa ki ahau.

11I mea a Ihowā:

“He pono ka whakakahangia koe e ahau mō te pai;

he pono ka meinga e ahau te hoariri kia īnoi ki a koe

i te wā o te hē, i te wā o te mamae.

12“E taea rānei e tētahi te wāhi te rino,

te rino o te raki, te parāhi rānei?

13Ka hoatu e ahau ōu rawa me ōu taonga

hei taonga parakete, kāhore hoki he utu,

ā, hei mea tērā mō ōu hara katoa,

arā i ōu rohe katoa.

14Ā, ka meinga rātou e ahau kia haere tahi me ōu hoariri

ki te whenua kīhai i mōhiotia e koe;

nō te mea kei te ngiha he ahi i ahau e riri nei,

kā tonu atu ki a koutou.”

15E Ihowā, e mōhio ana koe;

mahara ki ahau, tirohia ahau,

rapua he utu mō tōku matenga i ōku kaitūkino.

Kaua ahau e tangohia atu i a koe ka pūhoi nei ki te riri;

kia mōhio koe, mōu ahau i tāwaia ai.

16I kitea āu kupu, ā, kainga ake e ahau,

ā, ki ahau hei whakakoa,

hei whakahari āu kupu mō tōku ngākau;

kua huaina hoki tōu ingoa mōku,

e Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā mano.

17Kīhai ahau i noho i roto i te whakaminenga o te hunga whakahī,

kīhai i whakamanamana atu;

i noho mokemoke ahau, he whakaaro ki tōu ringa;

kua whakakīia nei hoki ahau e koe ki te riri.

18He aha tōku mamae i mau tonu ai,

tōku patunga tē mahu ai,

tē pai ai ki te rongoā?

Ka rite rawa rānei koe ki ahau me te awa pāremoremo,

me ngā wai e kore e mau?

19Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

“Ki te hoki koe nā ka whakahokia koe e ahau,

kia tū ai koe ki tōku aroaro,

ā, ki te tangohia atu e koe te mea utu nui i te mea kino,

ka rite koe ki tōku māngai.

Ko rātou e hoki ki a koe,

kaua ia koe e hoki ki a rātou.

20Ka meinga hoki koe e ahau ki tēnei iwi

hei taiepa parāhi;

ā, ka whawhai rātou ki a koe,

otiia e kore rātou e kaha ki a koe;

nō te mea kei a koe ahau

hei whakaora i a koe, e mawhiti ai koe,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

21“Ka meinga anō koe e ahau kia mawhiti i roto i te ringa o te hunga kino,

ka hokona anō koe e ahau i roto i te ringa o te hunga nanakia.”
