1 Haere mai, tatou ka hoki ki a Ihowa: nana hoki i haehae, a mana tatou e rongoa; nana i patu, mana ano tatou e takai.2 Kia rua nga ra ka whakaorangia tatou e ia; i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia tatou e ia, a ka ora tatou ki tona aroaro.3 Na kia mohio tatou, kia whai atu tatou kia mohio ai ki a Ihowa; ko tona putanga tuturu tonu, koia ano kei to te ata, ko tona taenga mai ki a tatou rite tonu ki to te ua, ka rite ki to muri ua e makuku ai te whenua.4 Me pehea koe e ahau, e Eparaima? Me pehea koe e ahau, e Hura? rite tonu hoki to koutou pai ki te kapua o te ata, ki te tomairangi o te atatu, e riro wawe atu ana.5 Na reira taku hahau i a ratou ki nga poropiti; tukitukia ana ratou e ahau ki nga kupu a toku mangai: rite tonu ano au whakaritenga ki te putanga ake o te marama.6 Ko taku hoki i pai ai ko te tohu tangata, haunga te patunga tapu: ko te matau ki te Atua, pai ake i nga tahunga tinana.7 Otiia kua pera ta ratou i ta Arama, kua whakataka e ratou te kawenata: kua tinihanga ratou ki ahau i reira.8 He pa a Kireara no nga kaimahi i te he, poke tonu i te toto.9 Rite tonu hoki ki ta nga taua pahua e whanga ana ki te tangata, ta te ropu o nga tohunga kohuru i te ara ki Hekeme; ae ra, kua mahi ratou i te he.10 He hanga whakawehi taku i kite ai ki te whare o Iharaira: he puremu e kitea ana ki Eparaima, kua poke a Iharaira.11 Kua rite hoki he kotinga mau, e Hura, ina whakahokia mai e ahau taku iwi i te whakarau.

1 `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.2 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.3 And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.`4 What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going.5 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.6 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.9 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There [is] the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel.11 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back [to] the captivity of My people!
