Heremaia 46 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Whakawātanga ki Īhipa

1Ko te kupu a Ihowā i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mō ngā iwi.

2Mō Īhipa, mō te ope a Parao Neko kīngi o Īhipa, mō tērā i te awa, i Uparati, i Karakemihi, i patua rā e Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna i te whā o ngā tau o Iehoiakimi tama a Hōhia kīngi o Hūrā:

3“Whakapaia te whakangungu rākau me te puapua,

whakatata ki te whawhai!

4Whakanohoia ngā hōiho,

e eke, e ngā kaieke hōiho!

Ā, tū atu me ō koutou pōtae;

whakakanapatia ngā tao,

kākahuria ngā pukupuku!

5He aha ahau i kite ai i tēnei?

Kei te pāwera rātou, kua hoki ki muri;

kua tukitukia ō rātou mārohirohi,

kua whati noa atu, kīhai hoki i titiro whakamuri –

kei ngā taha katoa te wehi,”

e ai tā Ihowā.

6“Kaua te tangata tere e rere atu,

kaua hoki te mārohirohi e mawhiti;

kei te raki, kei te awa, kei Uparati,

kua tūtuki ō rātou waewae, kua hinga.

7“Ko wai tēnei e puhake ake nei me te mea ko te Naera,

e tutū nei ōna wai me te mea ko ngā awa?

8I puhake mai a Īhipa ānō ko te Naera,

i tutū ōna wai ānō ko ngā awa;

ā, ka mea ia, Ka puhake atu ahau, ā, ka taupokina te whenua;

ka ngaro i ahau te pā me ōna tāngata.

9Haere atu, e ngā hōiho;

e ngana, e ngā hāriata!

Tukua atu ngā mārohirohi;

a Kuhu, a Putu, e rahurahu nei i te whakangungu rākau;

ngā Rurimi, e rahurahu nei, e whakapiko nei i te kōpere.

10Ko taua rā hoki he rā nā te Ariki, nā Ihowā o ngā mano,

he rā rapu utu,

e whai utu ai ia i ōna hoariri.

Ā, ka horomi te hoari, ā, ka mākona,

ka inu hoki, ki rawa i ō rātou toto.

Nō te mea he patunga tapu tā te Ariki,

tā Ihowā o ngā mano i te whenua ki te raki,

i te taha o te awa o Uparati.

11“Haere ki runga, ki Kireara,

e te tamāhine wāhina a Īhipa, ka tiki he pama;

ka maumau tāu mahi i ngā rongoā maha;

kāhore he ora mōu.

12Kua rongo ngā iwi ki tōu whakamā,

kua pakū tāu karanga ki ngā whenua.

Kua tūtuki nei hoki te waewae o te mārohirohi ki te mārohirohi,

kua hinga ngātahi tautokorua.”

Mā Papurōna a Īhipa e Patu

13Ko te kupu i kōrerotia e Ihowā ki a Heremaia poropiti, tērā ka haere mai a Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna ki te patu i Īhipa:

14“Kauwhautia e koutou ki Īhipa, pānuitia ki Mikitoro,

pānuitia ki Nopo, ki Tahapanehe,

mea atu, ‘E tū, kia tūmatohi;

kua kai hoki te hoari i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha.’

15He aha ōu māia i tahia atu ai?

Kīhai rātou i tū, nā Ihowā hoki rātou i ā atu.

16He tini ngā mea nāna i tukoki ai,

āe rā, i hinga rātou tētahi ki runga ki tētahi.

I mea anō, ‘Whakatika, tātou ka haere ki tō tātou nei iwi,

ki te whenua i whānau ai tātou,

i te hoari tūkino.’

17I karanga rātou i reira,

‘He turituri kau a Parao kīngi o Īhipa;

kua tukua e ia kia pahemo te wā i whakaritea.’

18“E ora ana ahau,” e ai tā te Kīngi,

ko Ihowā o ngā mano nei tōna ingoa,

“Kei Taporo i roto i ngā maunga,

kei Karamere hoki i te moana he rite mō tōna haerenga mai.

19E koe, e te tamāhine e noho nei i Īhipa,

mahia ngā mea mōu mō te whakaraunga;

nō te mea ka ururuatia a Nopo,

ka wera, tē ai he tangata hei noho.

20“He kūao kau ātaahua rawa a Īhipa –

otiia, kua tae mai te whakangaro i te raki,

tēnei kua tae mai.

21Ko āna tāngata hoki i utu ai,

rite tonu i roto i a ia ki te kūao whāngai;

kua tahuri atu anō hoki rātou,

kua oma ngātahi atu, kīhai hoki i tū;

nō te mea kua tae mai te rā o tō rātou aituā ki a rātou,

te wā e whiua ai.

22Ko tōna reo ka rite te puaki ki tō te nākahi;

nō te mea he taua tā rātou ina haere,

ka haere mai rātou ki a ia me ngā toki,

ka rite ki ngā kaitapahi rākau.

23Ka tuaina e rātou tōna ngahere,”

e ai tā Ihowā,

“ahakoa e kore tōna mutunga e taea te rapu.

He tini kē hoki rātou i te māwhitiwhiti,

e kore e taea te tatau.

24Ka whakamā te tamāhine a Īhipa;

ka tukua ia ki te ringa o te iwi ki te raki.”

25E mea ana a Ihowā o ngā mano, te Atua o Īharaira: “Nanā, ka whiua e ahau a Amono o Nō, a Parao, a Īhipa hoki, me ō reira atua, me ō reira kīngi; a Parao rawa, rātou ko te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.

26Ka tukua hoki rātou e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea rātou, ki te ringa anō o Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna, ki te ringa o āna tāngata. Ā muri iho ka nohoia, ka pērā me ngā rā o mua,” e ai tā Ihowā.

Ka Whakorangia e Ihowā a Īharaira

27“Ko koe ia, kaua e wehi, e tāku pononga, e Hākopa,

kaua e pāwera, e Īharaira.

Nō te mea, nanā, māku koe e whakaora i tawhiti,

ōu uri hoki i te whenua i whakaraua ai rātou;

ā, ka hoki mai a Hākopa, ka āta noho,

ka whai tānga manawa, tē ai he kaiwhakawehi mōna.

28Kaua koe e wehi, e tāku pononga, e Hākopa,”

e ai tā Ihowā,

“kei a koe nei hoki ahau.

Ka poto rawa hoki i ahau ngā iwi katoa

kua peia nei koe e ahau ki reira,

otiia e kore koe e poto rawa i ahau.

Engari, ka pākia koe e ahau, he mea whakarite mārie,

e kore ia koe e tukua kia kore e whiua.”
