He Whiunga i te Hunga i Whakawhere i te Hunga Rawakore

1 Auē te mate mō te hunga e whakaaro nā ki te hē,

e mahi nā i te kino i runga i ō rātou moenga!

Tākiri rawa ake te ata kua mahia e rātou,

nō te mea kei roto i te kaha o tō rātou ringa.

2 E hiahia ana rātou ki ngā māra, tangohia ake;

ki ngā whare hoki riro tonu i a rātou.

E whakatupuria kinotia ana e rātou tētahi tangata me tōna whare,

te tangata rawa nei me tōna wāhi tupu.

3 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

"Nanā, ka whakaaroa e ahau he kino mō tēnei hapū,

e kore ai e whakawāteatia e koutou ō koutou kakī i reira,

e kore anō koutou e haere whakapehapeha;

he kino hoki tēnei wā.

4 I taua rā ka ara i a rātou tētahi whakatauki mō koutou,

ka tangi hoki i tētahi tangi mamae nui,

ā, ka mea, ‘Kua pāhuatia rawatia tātou;

kua puta kē i a ia te wāhi o tāku iwi.

Auē, tāna wehenga atu i ahau!

Wehea ana e ia ā tātou māra mā te hunga whakakeke.’ "

5 Mō reira kāhore he tangata māu hei maka i te taura a te rota

i roto i te whakaminenga a Ihowā.

6 "Kaua koutou e poropiti," ko tā rātou poropiti tēnei.

"E kore rātou e poropiti ki ēnā;

e kore ngā taunu e haere atu."

7 E kīia ianei, e te whare o Hākopa:

"Kua kūiti te Wairua o Ihowā?

Ko āna mahi ianei ēnei?"

"He teka ianei he mahi pai tā āku kupu

ki te tangata e tika ana te haere?

8 Otiia, nō ēnei rā nei anō ka whakatika ake tāku iwi

ānō he hoariri;

e tīhorea atu ana e koutou te koroka i te kākahu

o te hunga e haere kore wehi noa atu ana

ānō he tangata e ngākaukore ana ki te whawhai.

9 Kua oti ngā wāhine o tāku iwi te pei e koutou

i roto i ō rātou whare āhuareka;

kua tangohia e koutou tōku korōria

i ā rātou tamariki nonohi ā ake ake.

10 Whakatika, haere;

ehara hoki tēnei i tō koutou okiokinga;

he mea hoki mō te poke e whakangaro ana,

e whakangaro kino rawa ana.

11 Ki te kōrero teka tētahi tangata e haere ana i te hau, i te teka,

ki te mea, ‘Ka poropiti ahau ki a koe mō te wāina, mō te wai kaha,’

ko ia rawa anō hei poropiti mō tēnei iwi."

He Kī Taurangi ki ngā Mōrehu o Īharaira

12 "He pono ka kohikohi ahau i a koe katoa, e Hākopa;

he pono ka whakawhāititia e ahau ngā mōrehu o Īharaira.

Ka huihuia rātou e ahau, ka pērātia me ngā hipi o Potora;

ka rite ki te kāhui i waenganui o tō rātou taiepa,

ka nui tō rātou ngē i te tini hoki o te tangata.

13 Kua tae ake te kaiwāhi i tō rātou aroaro;

kua pakaru mai rātou ki waho,

kua tika i roto i te kūwaha, kua puta atu mā reira.

Kua haere atu tō rātou kīngi i mua i a rātou,

a Ihowā i tō rātou upoko."
