Heremaia 49

Te Whakawātanga ki a Āmona

1 Mō ngā tamariki a Āmona.

Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

"Kāhore ianei a Īharaira tamariki?

Kāhore āna tāngata hei whakarerenga iho mō āna taonga?

Nā, he aha a Kara i riro ai i a Marakomo,

i noho ai tōna iwi ki roto ki ōna pā?

2 Mō reira, tēnei ngā rā te haere mai nei,

e ai tā Ihowā,

e meinga ai e ahau te whakaoho o te riri

kia rangona ki Rapa o ngā tama a Āmona;

ā, ka waiho hei pūranga kua ururuatia,

ka tahuna āna tamāhine ki te ahi;

ā, ka riro i a Īharaira te hunga

i a rātou nei ia i mua,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

3 "Auē, e Hehepona, kua pāhuatia hoki a Hai!

E tangi, e ngā tamāhine a Rapa!

Whītikiria koutou ki te kākahu taratara;

e tangi, ka omaoma noa i waenga i ngā taiepa;

nō te mea ka riro a Marakomo i te whakarau,

ōna tohunga me ōna rangatira ngātahi anō.

4 He aha koe i whakamanamana ai ki ngā raorao,

ki tōu raorao tāheke, e te tamāhine tāhurihuri kē?

E whakawhirinaki nei ki ōna taonga, e mea nei,

‘Ko wai e haere mai ki ahau?’

5 Nanā, ka tākina e ahau he wehi ki runga ki a koe,"

e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano,

"He mea nā te hunga katoa i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha;

ā, ka āia rawatia atu koutou, tērā, tērā, ki waho,

ā, kāhore he kaitāwhiu mai mō te mea i marara atu.

6 Hei muri ia ka whakahokia e ahau ngā tama a Āmona i te whakarau,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

Te Whakawātanga ki a Ēroma

7 Mō Ēroma.

Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano:

"Kua kāhore rānei te whakaaro nui i Temana?

Kua mōtī ianei te whakatakoto kōrero a te hunga mōhio?

Kua memeha rānei tō rātou whakaaro nui?

8 E rere koutou, tahuri atu, hei roto riro noho ai,

e ngā tāngata o Rerana!

Nō te mea ka tākina mai e ahau te aituā o Ēhau ki runga ki a ia,

i te wā e tirotiro ai ahau i a ia.

9 Ki te tae atu he kaikohikohi karepe ki a koe,

e kore ianei e mahue i a rātou ētahi karepe hei hamunga?

Ki te mea he tāhae i te pō,

e kore ianei rātou e tukituki kia mākona rawa rātou?

10 Kua takoto kau ia i ahau a Ēhau,

kua hurahia e ahau ōna wāhi ngaro,

tē āhei ia te huna i a ia.

Kua oti ōna uri te pāhua, ōna tēina

me ōna hoa tata, ā, kua kore hoki ia.

11 Waiho āu pani, māku e whakaora;

ko ōu pouaru, kia whakawhirinaki rātou ki ahau."

12 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā: "Nanā, ko te hunga i takoto nei te tikanga kia kaua e inu i te kapu, he pono ka inumia e rātou; ā, ko koe rānei te mea e kore rawa e whiua? E kore e kore ka whiua koe, engari ka tino inu nei koe. 13 Nō te mea kua waiho ahau e ahau anō hei oati, e ai tā Ihowā, ka waiho a Potora hei mīharotanga, hei ingoa kino, hei ururua, hei kanga anō hoki; ā, ka waiho ōna pā katoa hei koraha ake ake."

14 Kua rangona e ahau he kōrero i a Ihowā,

kua oti hoki te karere te tuku ki ngā iwi, hei kī atu:

"Whakahuihui i a koutou, haere mai hoki ki a ia,

ā, ka whakatika atu ki te whawhai!

15 "Nō te mea, nā, kua meinga koe e ahau kia iti i roto i ngā tauiwi,

he mea whakahāwea i roto i ngā tāngata.

16 Tēnā ko tōu whakamataku,

he whakakake nō tōu ngākau i pōhewa ai koe,

e koe e noho nā i ngā kapiti o te kāmaka,

e pupuri nā i te wāhi tiketike o te pukepuke.

Ahakoa hangā e koe tōu ōhanga kia rite ki tō te ēkara te tiketike,

ka whakahokia iho koe e ahau i reira,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

17 "Ā, ka meinga a Ēroma hei mīharotanga;

ko ngā tāngata katoa e tika ana nā reira, ka mīharo,

ka hī mai ki ōna whiunga katoa.

18 Ka rite ki te hurihanga o Horoma, o Komora,

o ngā pā hoki i tata ki reira,"

e ai tā Ihowā,

"e kore tētahi tangata e whai kāinga ki reira,

e kore hoki tētahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.

19 "Nanā, ka rite ia ki te raiona e haere ake ana i te whakamanamana o Horano

ki te nohoanga kaha;

otiia, ka meinga ohoreretia ai e ahau kia rere atu i a ia;

ā, ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria e ahau ko ia hei rangatira mōna?

Ko wai hoki e rite ana ki ahau?

Ko wai hei whakarite he wā mōku?

Ko wai anō tēnei hēpara hei tū ki tōku aroaro?"

20 Mō reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowā kua whakatakotoria e ia mō Ēroma;

ki ōna whakaaro hoki, kua whakaaroa e ia mō ngā tāngata o Temana:

He pono ka tōia atu rātou, arā ngā mea ririki o te kāhui;

he pono ka meinga e ia tō rātou nohoanga rātou hoki kia ngaro.

21 Oho ana te whenua i te haruru o tō rātou hinganga;

tērā te hāmama rangona ana mai tōna ngangau i te Moana Whero.

22 Nanā, ka haere mai ia, ā, ka rere ānō he ēkara,

ā, ka roha atu ōna parirau ki runga ki Potora;

ā, ka rite te ngākau o ngā mārohirohi o Ēroma i taua rā

ki te ngākau o te wahine e whakamamae ana.

Te Whakawātanga ki Ramahiku

23 Mō Ramahiku.

"Kua whakamā a Hāmata, rāua ko Ārapara;

nō te mea kua tae he rongo kino ki a rātou,

harotu kau rātou; tērā te tangi kei te moana;

kāhore e marino.

24 Kua ngoikore a Ramahiku, kua anga ki te rere,

mau pū hoki i te wehi;

kua rokohanga hoki ia e te raru, e te mamae,

me te mea he wahine e whānau ana.

25 Taukiri e! Kīhai i mahue te pā e whakamoemititia ana,

te pā i koa ai ahau!

26 Heoi, hinga ana āna taitama i ōna waharoa,

mōtī pū ngā tāngata whawhai katoa i taua rā,"

e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

27 "Nā, ka tahuna anō e ahau he ahi i roto i te taiepa o Ramahiku,

ā, ka pau i reira ngā whare kīngi o Pēneharara."

Te Whakawātanga ki Kerara me Hatoro

28 Mō Kerara, mō ngā kīngitanga hoki o Hatoro i patua nei e Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna.

Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

"Whakatika koutou, whakaekea a Kerara,

pāhuatia hoki ngā tama o te rāwhiti.

29 Ka tangohia e rātou ō rātou tēneti, ā rātou hipi;

ā, ka mauria atu e rātou mā rātou ō rātou kākahu ārai,

ā rātou oko katoa, me ā rātou kāmera;

ā, tērā rātou e karanga ki a rātou,

‘He wehi kei ngā taha katoa!’

30 E rere koutou, haere atu ki tawhiti,

nohoia a roto riro, e ngā tāngata o Hatoro!"

e ai tā Ihowā.

"Kua takoto hoki te tikanga

a Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna mō koutou,

kua whakaaroa hoki e ia he whakaaro mō koutou.

31 "Whakatika, whakaekea te iwi e noho ana i te rangimārie,

e noho kore wehi nā,"

e ai tā Ihowā;

"kāhore nā ō rātou kēti,

kāhore he tūtaki, e noho takitahi ana.

32 Ā, ka pāhuatia ā rātou kāmera,

ā, hei taonga pārau hoki te tini o ā rātou kararehe.

Ā, ka whakamararatia e ahau ki ngā hau katoa

te hunga i tapahia ngā tapa o ō rātou makawe;

ā, ka tākina mai e ahau te aituā mō rātou

i ngā taha katoa o rātou,"

e ai tā Ihowā.

33 "Ā hei nohoanga a Hatoro mō ngā kurī mohoao,

hei ururua ake ake.

E kore tētahi tangata e whai kāinga ki reira,

e kore anō hoki tētahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira."

Te Whakawātanga ki Erama

34 Ko te kupu a Ihowā i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mō Erama i te tīmatanga o te kīngitanga o Terekia kīngi o Hūrā, i mea ia: 35 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: "Nanā, ka whatia e ahau te kōpere a Erama, te mea nui rawa o tō rātou kaha. 36 Ā, ka tākina atu e ahau ngā hau e whā i ngā pito e whā o te rangi ki runga ki Erama, ā, ka tītaritaria atu rātou e ahau ki aua hau katoa; kāhore hoki he iwi e kore te taea atu e te hunga o Erama ka peia atu nei. 37 Ā, ka meinga e ahau a Erama kia wehi i te aroaro o ōna hoariri, i te aroaro hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea rātou; ka tākina hoki e ahau he kino ki runga ki a rātou, ko tōku riri e mura ana, e ai tā Ihowā; ā, ka ungā e ahau te hoari ki muri i a rātou, ā, kia poto rā anō rātou i ahau. 38 Nā, ka whakatūria e ahau tōku torōna ki Erama, ā, ka whakakāhoretia atu tō reira kīngi, rātou ko ngā rangatira," e ai tā Ihowā.

39 "Otiia hei ngā rā whakamutunga ka whakahokia e ahau a Erama i te whakarau," e ai tā Ihowā.
