Heremaia 47 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Whakawātanga ki ngā Pirihitini

1Ko te kupu a Ihowā i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mō ngā Pirihitini i te mea kāhore anō a Parao i patu noa i Kaha:

2Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

“Nanā, te puta mai nei ngā wai i te raki,

ka meinga hei waipuke e ngawhā ana,

ā, ka pōkia te whenua me ōna mea katoa,

te pā me ngā tāngata e noho ana i roto.

Ā, ka hāmama ngā tāngata,

ka auē hoki ngā tāngata katoa o te whenua.

3Hei te haruru o te takahi o ngā pāua o ōna hōiho kaha,

hei te rorohū o ōna hāriata, hei te ngaehe o ōna wīra.

Kore iho ngā mātua e tahuri ki muri ki ā rātou tamariki

i te ngoikore hoki o ngā ringa.

4Nā, mō te rā e haere mai nei,

e pāhuatia ai ngā Pirihitini katoa,

e hātepea atu ai i Tāira,

i Hairona ngā kaiāwhina katoa e toe nei.

Ka pāhuatia hoki e Ihowā ngā Pirihitini,

ngā mōrehu o te motu, o Kapatoro.

5Kua tae te pākira ki runga ki Kaha;

kua whakamōtītia a Ahakerono

me te toenga anō o tō rātou awaawa;

kia pēhea te roa o tāu haehae i a koe?

6“ ‘E te hoari a Ihowā!

Kia pēhea te roa ka āta takoto ai koe?

Hoki atu ki roto ki tōu kōpaki;

okioki, kāti hoki tāu!’

7Me pēhea koe e āta takoto ai,

kua hoatu nei hoki e Ihowā he whakahau ki a koe?

He hē mō Ahakerono, mō te tahatika hoki o te moana –

kua whakaritea e ia ki reira.”
