I Manaakitia ngā Iwi Kotahi Tekau mā Rua o Īharaira e Hākopa

1 Nā, ka karanga a Hākopa ki āna tamariki, ka mea, "Huihui mai, ā, ka kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou ngā mea e pono ki a koutou i ngā rā ō muri.

2 Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e ngā tama a Hākopa;

whakarongo hoki ki a Īharaira, ki tō koutou pāpā.

3 "E Reupena, ko koe tāku mātāmua,

tōku pakaritanga, me te tīmatanga o tōku kaha;

te hiranga ake o te korōria, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha.

4 He mea pōkarekare, ānō he wai, e kore koe e kake;

mō tōu pikitanga i te moenga o tōu pāpā;

pōkea iho e koe a reira – i pikitia e ia tōku takotoranga!

5 "He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona rāua ko Rīwai;

he rākau riri kino ā rāua hoari.

6 Kaua e tomo, e tōku wairua, ki tō rāua rūnanga;

kaua e huihuia, e tōku korōria, ki tō rāua whakaminenga –

i patu tangata hoki rāua i a rāua e riri ana,

ā, he hīkaka nō rāua i kopa ai te kau.

7 Kia kangā tō rāua riri, i kaha nei;

me tō rāua āritarita, nō te mea he nanakia!

Ka wehea atu rāua e ahau ki roto ki a Hākopa,

ka whakamararatia hoki rāua ki roto ki a Īharaira.

8 "E Hūrā, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ōu tuākana, e ōu tēina;

ka ū tōu ringa ki te kakī o ōu hoariri;

ka piko ki a koe ngā tama a tōu pāpā.

9 He kūao raiona a Hūrā;

i kake atu koe, e tāku tama, i te haenga.

I piko, i tāpapa ia, i pērā me te raiona,

i pērā hoki me te raiona kātua – mā wai ia e whakaoho?

10 E kore e riro kē te hēpeta i a Hūrā,

me te tokotoko o te kāwana i waenganui o ōna waewae,

kia tae mai rā anō a Hiro;

ā, ka rongo ngā iwi katoa ki a ia.

11 Ka herea e ia tana kūao ki te wāina,

te tama hoki a tana kāihe ki te wāina pai rawa;

ka horoia e ia ōna kākahu ki te wāina,

ōna weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe.

12 Ka mumura hoki ōna kanohi i te wāina,

ka mā ōna niho i te waiū.

13 "Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapū o te moana;

hei wahapū anō ia mō ngā kaipuke;

ka tutuki atu hoki tōna rohe ki Hairona.

14 "He kāihe kaha a Ihākara,

e tāpapa ana i waenga o ngā moenga hipi e rua;

15 ā, i tōna kitenga i te okiokinga he pai,

i te whenua hoki he āhuareka;

nā, ka tukua iho e ia tōna pokohiwi ki te pīkaunga,

ā, meinga ana ia hei pononga hōmai takoha.

16 "Ka whakawā a Rāna i tōna iwi,

ka pērā ānō me tētahi o ngā iwi o Īharaira.

17 Hei nākahi a Rāna ki te ara,

hei neke hoki ki te huarahi,

e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hōiho,

ā, ka taka whakamuri tōna kaieke.

18 "Kua tatari atu ahau ki tāu whakaoranga, e Ihowā.

19 "Ko Kara, ka āki te ope ki runga ki a ia;

otiia ka āki ia ki tō rātou rekereke.

20 "Ko tā Āhera, ka mōmona tāna taro,

ā, he kai kīngi ōna hua.

21 "Ko Napatari, he hāta kua tukua kia haere;

e hōmai ana e ia ngā kupu papai.

22 "Ko Hōhepa he peka hua,

he peka hua i te taha o te puna;

e toro atu ana ōna manga ki tua o te taiepa.

23 I whakatupu kino ngā kaikōpere i a ia,

i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia.

24 Otiia, i mau tāna kōpere i runga i te kaha,

ā, i whakapakaritia ngā tākakau o ōna ringa

e ngā ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hākopa,

nō reira nei te hēpara, te kāmaka o Īharaira,

25 arā e te Atua o tōu pāpā, māna anō koe e āwhina;

e te Kaha Rawa hoki, māna e tuku mai ki a koe

ngā manaaki o te rangi i runga,

ngā manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro,

ngā manaaki o ngā ū, o te kōpū hoki.

26 Hira ake ngā manaaki a tōu pāpā

i ngā manaaki a ōku tūpuna,

tae atu ana ki tērā taha rawa o ngā pukepuke tū tonu;

ka tau iho ēnā mea ki runga ki te mātenga o Hōhepa,

ki te tumuaki hoki ōna i motuhia atu nei i ōna tuākana.

27 "Ka haehae a Pineamine ānō he wuruhi,

ka kainga e ia te tūpāpaku i te ata,

ā, i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia ngā taonga parakete."

28 Ko ēnei katoa ngā iwi kotahi tekau mā rua o Īharaira, ko te kōrero hoki tēnei a tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, ko tāna manaaki i a rātou, i manaakitia rātou e ia, tēnei, tēnei, me tōna manaaki anō.

Te Matenga me te Tanumanga o Hākopa

29 Ā, i whakahau ia ki a rātou, i mea ki a rātou, "Ka kohia atu ahau ki tōku iwi. Tanumia ahau ki ōku mātua, ki te ana i te pārae o Eperona Hiti, 30 ki te ana i te pārae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te pārae anō, e Āperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga. 31 I tanumia a Āperahama rāua ko Hara, ko tāna wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Īhaka rāua ko Ripeka, ko tāna wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira. 32 I hokona te pārae me te ana i reira i ngā tama a Hete."

33 Ā, ka mutu te whakahau a Hākopa ki āna tama, ka pēpeke ake ōna waewae ki roto ki te moenga, ā, ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tōna iwi.
