1 "Nō te mea, nanā, i aua rā, i taua wā

e whakahokia ai e ahau a Hūrā rāua ko Hiruhārama i te whakarau,

2 ka huihuia e ahau ngā iwi katoa,

ka kawea ki raro ki te raorao o Iehohāpata;

ā, ka tohe ahau ki a rātou ki reira mō tāku iwi,

mō tōku kāinga tupu, mō Īharaira

i whakamararatia nei e rātou ki roto ki ngā iwi,

ā, wāwāhia ana e rātou tōku whenua.

3 Ā, kua maka rota rātou mō tāku iwi;

ā, kua hoatu e rātou te tama hei utu mō te wahine kairau,

ā, kua hokona e rātou he kōtiro ki te wāina,

hei inu mā rātou.

4 "Āe rā, he aha koutou ki ahau, e Tāira, e Hairona, e ngā rohe katoa o Pirihitia? E hōmai rānei e koutou he utu ki ahau? Nā, ki te hōmai e koutou, he utu ki ahau, hohoro tonu, kakama tonu tāku whakahoki i te utu ki runga ki tō koutou māhunga. 5 Mō koutou i tango i tāku hiriwa, i tāku kōura, ā, kawea ana e koutou āku mea pai e matenuitia ana ki roto ki ō koutou temepara. 6 Ā, hokona ana e koutou ngā tama a Hūrā, ngā tama o Hiruhārama, ki ngā tama a ngā Kariki, kia matara atu ai rātou i tō rātou rohe.

7 "Nanā, ka ara mai rātou i ahau i te wāhi i hokona atu ai rātou e koutou, ka meinga anō e ahau kia hoki tō koutou utu ki runga ki ō koutou māhunga. 8 Ka hokona anō e ahau ā koutou tama, ā koutou tamāhine, ki te ringa o ngā tama a Hūrā, ā, mā rātou e hoko ki ngā tāngata o Hēpā, ki te iwi i tawhiti." Nā Ihowā hoki te kupu.

9 Karangatia tēnei e koutou i roto i ngā tauiwi:

Kia rite ngā mea mō te whawhai,

whakaohokia ngā mārohirohi,

kia whakatata mai ngā tāngata whawhai katoa,

kia haere mai rātou.

10 Patupatua ā koutou hea parau hei hoari,

ā koutou toronaihi hei tao;

me kī ake te ngoikore, "He kaha ahau."

11 Kia hohoro, ka haere mai,

e ngā tauiwi katoa tawhio noa,

ka huihui i a koutou.

Meinga kia heke iho āu mārohirohi ki reira, e Ihowā.

12 "Kia whakaohokia ngā tauiwi,

kia haere hoki rātou ki te raorao o Iehohāpata.

Ka noho hoki ahau ki reira ki te whakawā

mō ngā tauiwi katoa ā taka noa.

13 Kuhua te toronaihi ki roto,

kua pakari hoki te wīti.

Haere mai, takahia;

kua kī hoki te poka wāina,

pūrena tonu ngā waka wāina;

he nui hoki tō rātou kino."

14 He tini, he tini whāioio

kei te raorao whakaoti tikanga!

Kua tata nei hoki te rā o Ihowā

i te raorao whakaoti tikanga.

15 Ka pōuri te rā me te marama,

ka kore anō te titi o ngā whetū.

16 Ā, ka hāmama a Ihowā i Hiona,

ka puaki tōna reo i Hiruhārama;

ā, ka wiri ngā rangi me te whenua;

otirā ko Ihowā he piringa mō tōna iwi,

he pā kaha mō ngā tama a Īharaira.

17 "Ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua

e noho nei i Hiona, i tōku maunga tapu:

kātahi a Hiruhārama ka tapu,

ā, heoi anō hāereerenga o ngā tautāngata i reira.

18 "I taua rā ka māturuturu iho te wāina hou o ngā maunga,

ka rerengia ngā pukepuke e te waiū,

ka rere ngā wai o ngā awa katoa o Hūrā;

ā, ka pupū mai he puna i roto i te whare o Ihowā,

hei whakamākūkū i te raorao o Hitimi.

19 Hei ururua a Īhipa,

hei koraha a Ēroma, ururua rawa,

mō te mahi tutū ki ngā tama a Hūrā,

mō tā rātou whakaheke i te toto harakore ki tō rātou whenua.

20 Ka noho tonu ia a Hūrā ake ake,

a Hiruhārama, a tērā whakatupuranga, tērā whakatupuranga.

21 Ka mā anō i ahau tō rātou toto kīhai i mā i ahau;

e noho ana hoki a Ihowā ki Hiona."
