Nahumu 2 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Te Urupatu o te Pā Kino

1Kua tae ake te kaiwāwāhi ki tōu aroaro.

Tiakina te pā,

tūteia te ara,

kia kaha tōu hope,

kia ū rawa tōu kaha.

2Nō te mea ka whakahokia mai e Ihowā te korōria o Hākopa,

me te korōria o Īharaira;

kua takoto kau hoki rātou i ngā kaiwhakatakoto kau,

kua hē anō ā rātou manga wāina i a rātou.

3Kua oti te whakangungu rākau a āna mārohirohi te whakawhero,

he ngangana te kākahu o ngā māia.

Kei te rino e kanapa ana te rite o ngā hāriata

i te rā e takatū ai ia,

ā, ko ngā tao wiri rawa.

4Ngana tonu ngā hāriata i ngā ara,

taututetute ana ki a rātou anō i ngā waharoa;

ko tō rātou āhua ānō he roherohe,

e rere ana me he uira.

5Ka mahara ia ki āna metararahi;

ka tapatu rātou i a rātou e haere ana;

ka hohoro rātou ki tō reira taiepa,

ā, ka rite te ārai.

6Ka whakatuwheratia ngā kūwaha o ngā awa,

ka papahoro te whare kīngi.

7Nā, kua tū tahanga a Huhapa, kua maua atu ia,

ā, ka tangi āna pononga wāhine,

ko te reo koia anō kei tō te kūkupa,

ko ō rātou uma hei timipera mā rātou.

8Ko Ninewe ia, ko tōna rite mai onamata, kei te puna wai.

Heoi, ka tahuti rātou;

ka karanga, “E tū, e tū!”

Heoi, e kore tētahi e titiro whakamuri.

9Pāhuatia te hiriwa,

pāhuatia te kōura;

kāhore hoki he mutunga o ngā rawa,

o te korōria i roto i ngā taonga āhuareka katoa.

10Kua takoto kau ia, kāhore āna mea, mōtī rawa!

Harotu kau te ngākau, kei te āki anō ngā turi ki a rāua,

he nui te mamae kei ngā hope katoa,

kua kōmā ngā mata o rātou katoa.

11Kei hea te nohoanga o ngā raiona,

te wāhi kai a ngā kūao raiona,

te wāhi i hāereere ai te raiona, me te raiona kātua,

me te kūao raiona, tē ai he kaiwhakawehi?

12I haehaea mai e te raiona he mea e mākona ai āna kūao,

nōtia ana e ia te kakī hei mea mā āna raiona uha,

whakakīia ana e ia ōna rua ki te kai,

ōna nohoanga hoki ki te mea i haehaea.

13“Nanā, hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu,”

e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano,

“ka tahuna anō e ahau ana hāriata i roto i te paowa,

ka pau āu kūao raiona i te hoari.

Ka kore i ahau he haehaenga māu i runga i te whenua,

e kore anō te reo o āu karere e rangona ā muri ake nei.”
