1 "Auē te mate mō ngā tamariki whakakeke,"

e ai tā Ihowā,

"e hanga whakaaro nei, otiia ehara i te mea nāku;

e hīpoki nei i te hīpoki, ehara ia i te mea nā tōku wairua,

he mea kia taparua iho ai e rātou

he hara ki runga ki te hara;

2 e haere nei ki raro ki Īhipa,

kāhore hoki e ui tikanga ki tōku māngai;

hei kaha hoki mō rātou te kaha o Parao,

ā, e mea ana kia whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Īhipa.

3 Mō reira hei mea whakamā ki a koutou te kaha o Parao,

hei mea anō e numinumi ai koutou

te whakawhirinaki ki te taumarumarunga iho o Īhipa.

4 I Toana hoki āna rangatira,

i tae anō āna karere ki Hanahe,

5 whakamā katoa rātou

ki te iwi kāhore nei ā rātou pai mō rātou,

kāhore he āwhina, kāhore he pai;

engari he whakamā, he ingoa kino."

6 Ko te poropititanga mō ngā kararehe o te tonga.

I te whenua o te raruraru, o te ngākau mamae,

nō reira nei te raiona uha me te raiona toa,

te waipera me te nākahi e rere nei me he ahi,

ka kawea atu e rātou ō rātou rawa i runga i ngā pokohiwi o ngā kūao kāihe,

ō rātou taonga i runga i ngā koropuku o ngā kāmera

ki te iwi kāhore nei ā rātou pai mō rātou.

7 Ko tā Īhipa āwhina hoki he horihori, he kore noa iho;

koia i huaina ai e ahau,

"Ko Rahapa noho tonu."

8 Nā, haere, tuhituhia ki te papa ki tō rātou aroaro,

tāia iho hoki ki te pukapuka;

me waiho anō tēnā i ngā rā i muri

hei kaiwhakaatu ā ake ake.

9 He tutū hoki tēnei iwi,

he tamariki kōrero teka,

he tamariki kāhore e pai ki te whakarongo

ki te Ture a Ihowā;

10 ko tā rātou nei kupu ki ngā matakite,

"Kaua e kite!"

ki ngā poropiti,

"Kaua e poropititia ki a mātou ngā mea tika;

kōrero ki a mātou i ngā mea ngāwari;

hei ngā mea tinihanga he poropititanga mā koutou;

11 peka atu i te ara,

whakarērea te huarahi,

kāti tā te Mea Tapu o Īharaira

te mea mai ki tō mātou aroaro."

12 Nā, ko te kupu tēnei a te Mea Tapu o Īharaira:

"Kua paopao nā koutou ki tēnei kupu,

kua okioki anō ki te tūkino,

ki te whanokē, ū tonu atu ki reira;

13 nā, ko te tukunga iho o tēnei hē ki a koutou,

ka rite ki te pakaru o te taiepa,

meāke nei hinga, kua ngawhā haere i te wāhi tiketike,

kitea rawatia ake, kua puta whakarere tōna pakaru.

14 Ka wāhia hoki e ia, pērā i te oko a te kaihanga rīhi e wāhia ana,

mongamonga noa, e kore e tohungia;

nā, e kore e kitea i roto i ōna kongakonga he maramara

hei tango ahi mai i te kānga ahi,

hei utu wai ake rānei i te poka."

15 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā, a te Mea Tapu o Īharaira:

"Mā te tahuri mai, mā te hūmārie ka ora ai koutou;

kei te āta noho, kei te whakawhirinaki he kaha mō koutou;

heoi kīhai koutou i pai.

16 Nā, i kī nā koutou,

‘Kāhore, engari me rere mātou i runga i te hōiho.’

Mō reira ka rere koutou;

ā, ‘Ka eke mātou ki runga ki te mea tere.’

Mō reira ka tere anō te hunga e whai ana i a koutou.

17 Ko te mano kotahi, ka rere i te riri a te tangata kotahi;

ka rere koutou i te riri a te tokorima;

ā, ka mahue koutou

ānō he pou kara i te tihi o te maunga,

ānō he kara i runga i te pukepuke."

18 Nā konei anō a Ihowā ka tatari,

he mea kia atawhaitia ai koutou e ia,

nā konei anō ia ka whakanekehia ake,

kia tohungia ai koutou e ia.

He Atua whakawā hoki a Ihowā,

ka hari te hunga katoa e tatari ana ki a ia.

19 Tērā hoki te iwi e noho ki Hiona, ki Hiruhārama; mutu ake tōu tangi. He pono ka aroha ia ki a koe, ki tōu reo e tangi ana; ka rongo ia ki a koe, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a koe. 20 Ahakoa hōmai e te Ariki hei taro mā koutou ko te ngākau mamae, hei wai anō ko te tūkino, e kore ōu kaiwhakaako e hunā ā muri; engari ka kite ōu kanohi i ōu kaiwhakaako. 21 Ā, ka rongo ōu taringa i te kupu i muri i a koe e mea ana, "Ko te ara tēnei; nā konei atu, ina tahuri koutou ki matau, ina tahuri ki mauī." 22 Ka whakapokea hoki e koutou te kōpaki o āu whakapakoko hiriwa, me te mea whakakikorua o āu whakapakoko kōura whakarewa; ka rukerukea atu e koe, ānō he mea poke, ā, ka mea ki taua mea, "Haere atu!"

23 Ā, ka hōmai e ia he ua ki tāu purapura e whakatōkia e koe ki te oneone, he taro anō, he hua nō te oneone, ā, ka whai ngako, ka nui taua mea; i taua rā anō he nunui ngā pārae e kai ai āu kararehe. 24 Ā, ko ngā kau, me ngā kūao kāihe e mahi ana i te oneone, ka kai i te kai pai, he mea i whakarererea ki te koko, ki te whakarerere wīti; 25 ā, i runga i ngā maunga tiketike katoa, i ngā pukepuke ikeike katoa, ka rere he awa, he manga wai – i te rā o te parekura nui, ina hinga ngā pourewa. 26 Ko te mārama hoki o te marama ka rite ki te mārama o te rā, ā, ko te mārama o te rā, e whitu ōna whakanekehanga ake, ka rite ki te mārama o ngā rā e whitu, i te rā e takaia ai e Ihowā te kaiākiko o tāna iwi, ina rongoātia e ia te patunga i patua ai rātou.

27 Nanā, kei te haere mai te ingoa o Ihowā i tawhiti,

kā tonu tōna riri, pongere tonu te paowa e kake ana;

kī tonu ōna ngutu i te riri,

ko tōna arero koia anō kei te ahi e kai ana.

28 Ko tōna manawa, ānō he awa e ngawhā ana,

tae ana ki te kakī rawa –

hei tātari i ngā iwi ki te tātari o te horihori;

ā, mau rawa ki ngā kauae o ngā iwi he paraire,

hei whakapōhēhē i a rātou.

29 Ka waiata koutou,

me te mea ko te pō e mahia ai te hākari tapu;

ka koa te ngākau,

ānō he tangata e haere ana me tāna pūtōrino,

e haere ana ki te maunga o Ihowā,

ki te Kāmaka o Īharaira.

30 Ka meinga hoki e Ihowā tōna reo korōria kia rangona,

kia kitea te tautanga iho o tōna ringa,

me te weriweri o tōna riri, te mura o te ahi e kai ana,

te apū hau, te tūpuhi, me te nganga kōhatu.

31 Mā te reo hoki o Ihowā ka pakaru ai te Ahiriana

i whiu nei ki te rākau.

32 Ā, ko ngā whakapānga katoa o te tokotoko i whakaritea,

ko tā Ihowā hoki e whakapā ai ki a ia,

ka meinga ki ngā timipera, ki ngā hāpa;

he whawhai whakangāueue hoki tāna whawhai ki a rātou.

33 Nō mua iho hoki a Topete i whakaritea ai;

āe rā, kua rite mō te kīngi;

kua oti te whakahōhonu, te whakanui;

ko tōna pūranga he ahi, nui atu hoki te wahie;

ko te manawa o Ihowā, ānō he awa whānāriki, hei whakangiha.
