1Nā, i te rua o ngā tau o te kīngitanga o Nepukaneha ka moea ētahi moe e Nepukaneha; raruraru tonu iho tōna wairua, rere atu ana te moe i a ia.
2Kātahi te kīngi ka kī atu kia karangatia ngā tohunga māori, ngā kaititiro whetū, ngā tohunga mākutu, ngā Karari, hei whakaatu i āna moe ki te kīngi. Nā, haere ana mai rātou, tū ana i te aroaro o te kīngi.
3Nā, ka mea te kīngi ki a rātou, “Kua moea e ahau he moe, ā, raruraru ana tōku wairua, e mea ana kia mōhio ki taua moe.”
4Kātahi ka kōrero Hīriani mai ngā Karari ki te kīngi, “E te kīngi, kia ora tonu koe. Kōrerotia mai te moe ki āu pononga, ā, mā mātou e whakaatu tōna tikanga.”
5Ka whakahoki te kīngi, ka mea ki ngā Karari, “Kua ngaro taua mea i ahau; ki te kore e whakakitea mai e koutou ki ahau te moe me tōna tikanga hoki, ka haehaea koutou, ā, ka meinga ō koutou whare hei pūranga paru.
6Ki te whakaaturia mai ia e koutou te moe me tōna tikanga, ka riro āku hākari mā koutou, ngā utu, me te hōnore nui; nā, whakaaturia mai te moe ki ahau, me tōna tikanga anō.”
7Nā, ka whakahoki tuarua rātou, ka mea, “Mā te kīngi e kōrero te moe ki āna pononga, ā, mā mātou e whakaatu tōna tikanga.”
8Ka whakautua e te kīngi, ka mea ia, “E mōhio rawa ana ahau e whai ana koutou kia roa, nō te mea ka kite koutou kua ngaro taua mea i ahau.
9Ki te kore ia e whakaaturia mai e koutou te moe ki ahau, kotahi tonu te ture mō koutou. Nō te mea he teka, he tinihanga ngā kupu kua rite nā i a koutou hei kōrero mai ki tōku aroaro, ā, kia puta kē rā anō te wā. Nā reira kōrerotia mai te moe ki ahau, ā, ka mōhio ahau e taea ana anō e koutou te whakaatu tōna tikanga ki ahau.”
10Nā, ka whakahoki ngā Karari ki te aroaro o te kīngi, ka mea, “Kāhore he tangata i runga i te whenua hei whakaatu i te mea a te kīngi. Kāhore anō hoki he kīngi, kāhore he rangatira, kāhore he ariki, i ui i ngā mea pēnei ki tētahi tohunga māori, ki tētahi kaititiro whetū, ki tētahi Karari rānei.
11He mea tupua rawa hoki tēnei e uia nei e te kīngi, kāhore atu hoki he kaiwhakaatu ki te kīngi, ko ngā atua anake, ehara nei ki te kikokiko tō rātou nohoanga.”
12Nā reira i riri ai te kīngi, nui atu te riri, kīia iho e ia ngā tāngata whakaaro nui katoa o Papurōna kia whakangaromia.
13Heoi, kua puta te ture kia patua ngā tāngata whakaaro nui; ā, ka rapua a Raniera rātou ko ōna hoa kia patua.
14Nā, he mōhio, he nui te whakaaro, i oho ai a Raniera ki a Arioko, ki te rangatira o ngā kaitiaki a te kīngi, i puta nei ki te patu i ngā tāngata whakaaro nui o Papurōna.
15I oho ia, i mea ki a Arioko, ki tā te kīngi rangatira, “He aha i hohoro ai te ture i te kīngi?” Kātahi taua mea ka whakaaturia e Arioko ki a Raniera.
16Nā, ka haere a Raniera ki roto, ka mea ki te kīngi kia whakaritea he wā ki a ia, ā, ka whakaaturia e ia te tikanga ki te kīngi.
Ka Whakaatua e Ihowā te Moemoeā o Nepukaneha17Kātahi ka haere a Raniera ki tōna whare, ka whakakite i taua mea ki ōna hoa ki a Hanania, ki a Mihāera, ki a Atāria.
18Kia īnoia ai e rātou he mahi tohu i te Atua o te rangi, he mea mō tēnei mea ngaro; kei mate tahi a Raniera rātou ko ōna hoa, me ērā atu tāngata whakaaro nui o Papurōna.
19Kātahi ka whakakitea mai taua mea ngaro ki a Raniera, he mea moemoeā i te pō. Nā, whakapai ana a Raniera ki te Atua o te rangi.
20I oho a Raniera, i mea:
“Kia whakapaingia te ingoa o te Atua ā ake ake;
nōna hoki te whakaaro nui me te kaha.
21E whakaputaia kētia ana hoki e ia ngā wā me ngā rā,
e whakakāhoretia ana e ia ngā kīngi.
E whakatūria ana anō ngā kīngi e ia,
e hōmai ana e ia te whakaaro nui ki te hunga whakaaro nui,
te mātauranga anō ki te hunga e mātau ana ki te whakaaro.
22E whakapuakina ana e ia ngā mea hōhonu, ngā mea ngaro;
e mātau ana ia ki ngā mea o te pōuri;
kei a ia te nohoanga o te mārama.
23Whakawhetai tonu ahau ki a koe,
whakamoemiti tonu ki a koe, e te Atua o ōku mātua,
nāu nei hoki i hōmai he whakaaro nui, he kaha ki ahau,
ā, kua whakaatu mai nei koe ki ahau i ngā mea i īnoi ai mātou ki a koe,
kua whakaaturia nei hoki e koe te mea a te kīngi ki a mātou.”
Ka Whakahuatia, ka Whakamāramatia te Moemoeā e Raniera24Nā reira i haere ai a Raniera ki roto, ki a Arioko, ki tā te kīngi i whakarite ai hei whakangaro mō ngā tāngata whakaaro nui o Papurōna; haere ana ia, ā, ko tāna kupu tēnei ki a ia, “Kaua e whakangaromia ngā tāngata whakaaro nui o Papurōna; kawea ahau ki te aroaro o te kīngi, ā, māku e whakakite te tikanga ki te kīngi.”
25Kātahi ka hohoro tonu a Arioko ka kawe i a Raniera ki te aroaro o te kīngi; ko tāna kupu anō tēnei ki a ia: “Kua kitea e ahau he tangata i roto i ngā whakarau o Hūrā hei whakakite i te tikanga ki te kīngi.”
26Ka oho te kīngi, ka mea ki Raniera, ko tōna ingoa nei ko Peretehatara, “E taea rānei e koe te whakaatu mai te moe i kitea e ahau, me tōna tikanga anō ki ahau?”
27Ka whakahoki a Raniera i te aroaro o te kīngi, ka mea, “E kore taua mea ngaro i uia rā e te kīngi e taea te whakaatu ki te kīngi e te hunga whakaaro nui, e ngā kaititiro whetū, e ngā tohunga māori, e ngā tohunga tūāhu rānei;
28engari, tērā te Atua kei te rangi hei whakaatu i ngā mea ngaro; ā, kua whakakitea e ia ki a Kīngi Nepukaneha ngā mea e puta mai i ngā rā whakamutunga. Ko tāu moe tēnei, me ngā mea i kitea e tōu māhunga, i runga i tōu moenga:
29“Ko koe ia e te kīngi, i puta ake ōu whakaaro ki tōu ngākau i runga i tōu moenga mō ngā mea e puta mai ā mua. E whakakitea ana ki a koe e te kaiwhakaatu o ngā mea ngaro, ngā mea e puta ā mua.
30Ko ahau nei ia, ehara i te mea he nui atu ōku whakaaro i o tētahi tangata ora, i whakapuakina ai tēnei mea ngaro ki ahau; engari kia whakakitea ai tōna tikanga ki te kīngi, kia mōhio ai hoki koe ki ngā whakaaro o tōu ngākau.
31“Nā, i titiro koe, e te kīngi, nā, ko tētahi whakapakoko nui. Nā, ko taua whakapakoko, he mea nui, he nui atu tōna kanapa, i tū i tōu aroaro; ā, ko tōna āhua he hanga whakamataku rawa.
32Ko taua whakapakoko, he kōura parakore tōna pane, ko tōna uma, ko ōna ringa, he hiriwa, ko tōna kōpū, ko ōna hūhā he parāhi,
33ko ōna waewae he rino, ko ōna raparapa he rino tētahi wāhi, he uku tētahi wāhi.
34“Titiro tonu atu koe, nā, ko tētahi kōhatu, he mea tapahi mai, kāhore hoki he ringa, āki tonu ki te whakapakoko, ki ōna raparapa, he rino nei tētahi wāhi, he uku tētahi wāhi, wāhia pūtia iho.
35Kātahi ka mongamonga ngātahi te rino, te uku, te parāhi, te hiriwa, te kōura; kua rite ki te pāpapa o ngā patunga wīti i te raumati; kāhakina ana e te hau, ā, kāhore noa iho i kitea he wāhi mō aua mea. Nā, ko te kōhatu i ākina ai te whakapakoko, kua meinga hei maunga nui, kapi ana te whenua katoa i a ia.
36“Ko te moe tēnei; nā, me kōrero tōna tikanga e mātou ki te aroaro o te kīngi.
37Ko koe, e te kīngi, te kīngi o ngā kīngi, kua hōmai hoki e te Atua o te rangi he kīngitanga ki a koe, he kaha, he mana, he korōria.
38Nā, ko ngā wāhi katoa e nohoia ana e ngā tama a te tangata, ko ngā kararehe o te pārae, ko ngā manu o te rangi, hōmai ana e ia ki tōu ringa, kua oti anō koe te mea e ia hei rangatira mō rātou katoa. Ko koe taua pane kōura.
39“Nā, ka puta ake tētahi atu kīngitanga i muri i a koe; iti iho i a koe, me tētahi atu, arā te tuatoru o ngā kīngitanga, he parāhi, ā, ka kāwana tērā i te whenua katoa.
40Nā, ko te whā o ngā kīngitanga ka rite ki te rino te kaha; he mea wāwāhi hoki te rino, e taea anō e ia ngā mea katoa. Ka rite ki tā te rino e wāwāhi nei i ēnei katoa tāna wāwāhi, tāna kuru.
41“Nā, i kite nā koe i ngā raparapa, i ngā matimati, he uku nā te kaipokepoke tētahi wāhi, he rino tētahi wāhi, ka wehea te kīngitanga; ka mau anō ia he kaha rino i roto, ka pērā anō me te rino i kitea e koe e whakauruuru ana ki te uku paru nā.
42Nā, ko ngā matimati o ngā raparapa rā, he rino nei tētahi wāhi, he uku tētahi wāhi, ka pēnā anō te kīngitanga, he kaha tētahi wāhi, ko tētahi wāhi he pākarukaru.
43Nā, i kite atu nā koe i te rino e whakauru ana ki te uku paru nā, ka whakauru anō rātou ki roto ki ngā uri tāngata. E kore ia e piri tētahi ki tētahi, ka rite ki te rino e kore nei e uru ki te uku.
44“Nā, i ngā rā o ēnei kīngi, ka whakatūria e te Atua o te rangi he kīngitanga e kore e ngaro, e kore anō hoki tōna mana e waiho ki tētahi atu iwi; engari ko tērā hei wāhi, hei whakamōtī i ēnei kīngitanga katoa, ko ia anō ka tū tonu ā ake ake.
45Nā, i kite nā koe he mea tapahi mai te kōhatu i roto i te maunga, kāhore hoki he ringa, ā, mongamonga noa i a ia te rino, te parāhi, te uku, te hiriwa, te kōura. E whakapuakina ana e te Atua nui ki te kīngi ngā mea e puta ā mua. Nā, tūturu rawa te moe, pūmau tonu tōna tikanga.”
Ka Hāpaitia a Raniera rātou ko ōna Hoa46Ko te tino tāpapatanga iho o Kīngi Nepukaneha, koropiko ana ki a Raniera, whakahaua tonutia iho e ia kia whakaherea he whakahere, he whakakakara reka ki a ia.
47I oho te kīngi ki a Raniera, i mea, “Tika rawa, ko tōu Atua te Atua o ngā atua, te Ariki o ngā kīngi, te kaiwhakapuaki o ngā mea ngaro, ka taea nei hoki e koe te whakapuaki tēnei mea ngaro.”
48Kātahi ka meinga e te kīngi a Raniera hei tangata rahi, he maha anō ngā hākari nui i hōmai e ia ki a ia, ā, meinga ana ia hei kāwana mō te kāwanatanga katoa o Papurōna, hei tino kāwana mō ngā tāngata whakaaro nui katoa o Papurōna.
49Nā, ka tono a Raniera ki te kīngi, ā, whakaritea ana e ia a Hataraka, a Mehaka, a Apereneko hei kaitirotiro mō ngā mea o te kāwanatanga o Papurōna. Ko Raniera ia i noho ki te kūwaha o te kīngi.
