Te Whakatikatika me te Whakaoranga o Hiona
1 He whakaaro ki Hiona i kore ai ahau e noho hū,
he whakaaro ki Hiruhārama tē āta noho ai ahau,
kia puta rā anō tōna tika ānō he tīahotanga,
tōna whakaoranga ānō he rama e kā ana.
2 Ā, ka kite ngā tauiwi i tōu tika,
ngā kīngi katoa i tōu korōria;
ā, he ingoa hou e whakahuatia ki a koe,
he mea whakahua nā te māngai o Ihowā.
3 Hei karauna ātaahua anō koe i te ringa o Ihowā,
hei pōtae kīngi i te ringa o tōu Atua.
4 E kore koe e kīia ā muri ake nei, He Mea Whakarere;
heoi anō kīanga o tōu whenua, He Ururua;
engari ka huaina koe, ko Hepetipa;
tōu whenua, ko Peura;
nō te mea ka āhuareka a Ihowā ki a koe,
ā, ka whai tahu tōu whenua.
5 Kei te mārenatanga hoki o te taitamariki ki te wāhina
te rite o te mārenatanga o āu tamariki ki a koe;
kei te koa hoki o te tāne mārena hou ki te wahine mārena hou
te rite o te koa o tōu Atua ki a koe.
6 Kua oti he kaitiaki te whakarite e ahau ki ōu taiepa, e Hiruhārama;
e kore e kopia te māngai i te ao, i te pō.
E ngā kaiwhakahua o tō Ihowā ingoa,
kei āta noho,
7 kaua hoki e whakamutua tā koutou ki a ia,
kia whakapūmautia rā anō a Hiruhārama e ia,
kia meinga rā anō hei whakamoemiti i runga i te whenua.
8 Kua oatitia e Ihowā tōna ringa matau,
tōna tākakau kaha:
"E kore e hoatu e ahau tāu wīti ā muri
hei kai mā ōu hoariri;
e kore anō ngā tāngata kē e inu i tāu wāina
i māuiui ai koe;
9 engari, ko ngā tāngata nāna i whawhaki mā rātou e kai,
whakamoemiti tonu atu ki a Ihowā;
ā, ko ngā tāngata nāna i kohikohi mai,
ka inumia e rātou ki ngā marae o tōku wāhi tapu."
10 Tika atu, tika atu mā ngā kūwaha;
whakapaia te ara o te iwi;
opehia ake, opehia ake te huanui;
kohikohia atu ngā kāmaka,
whakaarahia he kara ki ngā iwi.
11 Nanā, kua kōrero a Ihowā
ki te pito o te whenua:
"Mea atu ki te tamāhine a Hiona,
‘Nanā, ko tōu whakaoranga te haere mai nei!
Nanā, kei a ia tōna utu,
kei tōna aroaro anō tāna mahi.’ "
12 Ā, ka huaina rātou, Ko te Iwi Tapu,
Ko tā Ihowā i Hoko ai;
ka huaina anō hoki koe, He Mea i Rapua,
He Pā Kāhore i Mahue.
