1 Nā ināianei, ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,

a tōu kaihanga, e Hākopa,

a tōu kaiwhakaahua, e Īharaira:

"Kaua e wehi kua oti nei hoki koe te hoko e ahau;

kua karangatia e ahau tōu ingoa; nāku koe.

2 Ka haere koe i roto i te wai, ko ahau hei hoa mōu;

i ngā awa anō, e kore e huri mai ki runga i a koe;

ki te haere koe i roto i te ahi, e kore koe e wera,

e kore anō te mura e kā ki a koe.

3 Ko Ihowā hoki ahau, ko tōu Atua,

ko te Mea Tapu o Īharaira, ko tōu kaiwhakaora;

i hoatu e ahau a Īhipa hei utu mōu,

a Etiopia rāua ko Tepa hei wāhi mōu.

4 I te mea he taonga nui koe ki tāku titiro,

he mea e whakahōnoretia ana, ā, i arohaina koe e ahau;

mō reira ka hoatu e ahau he tangata mō tōu tūranga,

he iwi hoki hei utu mōu kia ora.

5 Kaua e wehi; kei a koe nei hoki ahau:

ka kawea mai e ahau ōu uri i te rāwhiti,

ka kohikohia mai koe i te uru.

6 Ka mea ahau ki te raki, ‘Hōmai’;

ki te tonga, ‘Kaua e kaiponuhia’;

kawea mai āku tama i tawhiti,

āku tamāhine i te pito o te whenua –

7 te hunga katoa i huaina nei tōku ingoa mō rātou;

nāku hoki rātou i hanga hei whakakorōria mōku:

nāku ia i whakaahua, nāku hoki ia i mahi."

8 Whakaputaina mai ngā matapō he kanohi nei ō rātou,

ngā turi he taringa nei ō rātou.

9 Kia huihui ngā iwi katoa, kia rūpeke tahi ngā tauiwi;

ko wai i roto i a rātou hei whakaatu i tēnei,

hei kōrero i ngā mea ō mua ki a tātou?

Kia hōmai e rātou ō rātou kaiwhakaatu,

kia whakatikaia atu ai tā rātou;

mā rātou rānei e whakarongo, e mea mai, "He pono."

10 "Ko koutou hei whakaatu mō tāku," e ai tā Ihowā,

"me tāku pononga i whiriwhiria e ahau,

kia mōhio ai koutou, kia whakapono ai ki tāku,

kia mātau ai ko ahau ia,

kāhore he Atua i whakaahuatia i mua i ahau,

kāhore hoki tētahi i muri i ahau.

11 Ko ahau, ko ahau nei anō, a Ihowā,

kāhore atu hoki he kaiwhakaora, ko ahau anake.

12 Nāku i whakaatu, nāku hoki i whakaora, nāku anō i kōrero,

i te mea kāhore he atua kē i roto i a koutou;

nā, ko koutou hei kaiwhakaatu mōku," e ai tā Ihowā, "ā, ko te Atua ahau.

13 Āe rā, i te mea kāhore anō he rā ko ahau tēnei;

e kore hoki tētahi e whakaora ake i roto i tōku ringa;

māku e mahi, ko wai hoki hei whakakāhore?"

14 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,

a tō koutou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Īharaira:

"He whakaaro ki a koutou i unga tāngata ai ahau ki Papurōna,

ā, ka mauria mai e ahau rātou katoa,

he mawhiti mai, arā ngā Karari i runga i ngā kaipuke i harakoa ai rātou.

15 Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Mea Tapu,

ko te kaihanga o Īharaira, ko tō koutou Kīngi."

16 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,

nāna nei i hōmai te ara i te moana,

he huarahi i roto i ngā wai kaha.

17 Nāna nei i whakaputa mai te hāriata, te hōiho,

te ope, me te kaha;

takoto tahi ana rātou, tē ara ki runga;

kua keto rātou, kua tineia, ānō he muka.

18 "Kaua e mahara ki ngā mea ō mua;

ko ngā mea onamata kaua e whakaaroa.

19 Tēnei ahau te mahi nei i te mea hou;

ākuanei te tupu ai; e kore rānei e mōhiotia e koutou?

Ka oti i ahau he ara i te koraha,

he awa i te tītōhea.

20 Ka whakakorōriatia ahau e ngā kararehe o te pārae,

e ngā kīrehe mohoao, e ngā otereti;

nō te mea ka hoatu e ahau he wai i te koraha,

he awa i te tītōhea,

hei inu mā tāku iwi, mā tāku i whiriwhiri ai;

21 mā te iwi i whakaahuatia e ahau māku,

mā rātou e kauwhau te whakamoemiti mōku.

22 "Nā, kīhai nei koe i karanga ki ahau, e Hākopa;

kua hōhā koe ki ahau e Īharaira.

23 Kīhai i kawea mai e koe ki ahau āu hipi hei tahunga tinana;

kīhai anō ahau i whakakorōriatia ki āu patunga tapu.

Kāhore āku whakamahi i a koe ki te whakahere,

kīhai anō koe i ngenge, i te meatanga i te whakakakara.

24 Kīhai i hokona e koe he kākaho reka māku ki te moni,

kīhai hoki ahau i mākona i te ngako o āu patunga tapu.

Engari, i whakamahia ahau e koe ki ōu hara,

māuiui ana ahau i āu mahi hē.

25 "Ko ahau, ko ahau nei anō,

te kaimuru atu i ōu hē, he whakaaro anō ki ahau;

e kore anō ōu hara e maharatia e ahau.

26 Whakamaharatia ahau; tātou ka whakawā ki a tātou anō;

kōrerotia e koe tāu, kia whakatikaia ai koe.

27 Ko tōu pāpā tuatahi, i hara;

ko ōu kaiwhakaako, whakakeke ana ki ahau.

28 Nā reira whakapokea iho e ahau ngā rangatira o te wāhi tapu,

ā, hoatu ana e ahau a Hākopa ki te kanga,

a Īharaira ki te tāwai."
