12 Otiia inaianei nei ano, e ai ta Ihowa, tahuri koutou ki ahau, o koutou ngakau katoa, i runga ano i te nohopuku, i te tangi, i te aue:

13 Haea hoki o koutou ngakau, haunga o koutou kakahu, a tahuri ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua: he aroha hoki tona, he mahi tohu, he puhoi ki te riri, he nui tona atawhai, a e ripeneta ana ia ki te kino.

12 And also now -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil.
