He Kauwhautanga ki Īhipa
1 I te tekau o ngā tau, i te tekau o ngā marama, i te tekau mā rua o ngā rā o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 “E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tōu mata ki a Parao kīngi o Īhipa; poropititia he hē mōna, mō Īhipa katoa hoki. 3 Kōrero, mea atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:
Hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu,
e Parao kīngi o Īhipa,
e te tarakona nui e takoto nā
i waenganui i ōna awa;
nāna nei te kupu, ‘Nāku tāku awa,
nāku anō i hanga hei mea māku.’
4 Ā, ka makā e ahau he matau ki ōu kauae,
ka meinga anō e ahau ngā ika o ōu awa kia piri ki ōu unahi.
Ka tangohia mai anō koe e ahau i waenganui o ōu awa,
me ngā ika katoa o ōu awa
e piri ana ki ōu unahi.
5 Ka waiho anō koe e ahau, he mea kua makā atu ki te koraha,
a koe me ngā ika katoa o ōu awa;
ka hinga koe ki runga ki te mata o te pārae;
e kore koe e kohikohia, e kore e huihuia.
Kua tukua atu koe e ahau hei kai
mā te kīrehe o te whenua, mā te manu o te rangi.
6 Ā, ka mōhio ngā tāngata katoa o Īhipa ko Ihowā ahau.
“He kākaho hoki rātou kua waiho nei hei tokotoko mō te whare o Īharaira. 7 Nō te hopukanga atu a tō rātou ringa i a koe, whati pū koe, haea ana e koe ō rātou pokohiwi katoa. I tō rātou okiokinga ki runga ki a koe, whati pū koe, wiri ana i a koe ō rātou hope katoa.
8 “Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Tēnei ahau te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koe, ka hātepea atu anō e ahau te tangata me te kararehe i roto i a koe. 9 Ka ururuatia anō te whenua o Īhipa, ka tūheatia; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau.
“Mōna hoki i kī, ‘Nāku te awa, nāku anō i hanga.’ 10 Mō reira hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu, mō ōu awa, ka meinga anō e ahau te whenua o Īhipa kia ururua rawa, hei tūhea, i te Taumaihi o Hewene tae noa atu ki te rohe o Etiopia. 11 E kore tētahi waewae tangata e tika nā reira, e kore anō te waewae kararehe e tika nā reira, e whā tekau ngā tau e kore ai a reira e nohoia. 12 Ka meinga anō e ahau te whenua o Īhipa kia tūheatia i waenganui o ngā whenua tūhea, me ōna pā i roto i ngā pā kua ururuatia, e whā tekau ngā tau e tūhea ai. Ka marara anō i ahau ngā Īhipiana ki roto ki ngā iwi, ka tītaria ki ngā whenua.
13 “Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: I te mutunga o ngā tau e whā tekau ka huihuia mai e ahau ngā Īhipiana i roto i ngā iwi i whakamararatia atu ai rātou. 14 Ka whakahokia mai e ahau a Īhipa i te whakarau, ka whakahokia rātou ki te whenua o Pātoro, ki te whenua i tupu mai ai rātou, ā, hei kīngitanga iti rātou ki reira. 15 Ko te iti rawa ia i roto i ngā kīngitanga, e kore anō e neke ake i muri nei ki runga ake i ngā iwi. Māku hoki rātou e whakaiti, e kore ai rātou e whakahaere tikanga i roto i ngā iwi. 16 E kore anō e waiho hei okiokinga mō te whare o Īharaira, hei whakamahara ki te hē, i a rātou ka anga nei, ka whai i a rātou; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowā.”
Ka Pāhua a Papurōna i Īhipa
17 Nā, i te rua tekau mā whitu o ngā tau, i te tuatahi o ngā marama, i te tuatahi o ngā rā o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 18 E te tama a te tangata, he nui te mahi i whakamahia ai tāna ope e Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna ki Tāira. Pākira katoa ngā mātenga, pahore katoa ngā pokohiwi, kāhore hoki he utu i a ia, rātou ko tāna ope mō Tāira, mō te mahi i mahi ai ia ki reira. 19 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā, ka hoatu e ahau te whenua o Īhipa ki a Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna, ā, ka riro i a ia ōna mano, ka pāhuatia ōna taonga. Ka murua hoki āna mea, ā, ko tēnā hei utu ki tāna ope. 20 Kua hoatu e ahau te whenua o Īhipa ki a ia hei utu mō tāna mahi i mahi ai ia; ko tā rātou hoki i mahi ai, he mea māku, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
21 “Ā taua rā ka meinga e ahau he haona kia wana mō te whare o Īharaira, ka hoatu anō e ahau ki a koe he kuihitanga mō te māngai i waenganui i a rātou; ā, ka mōhio rātou ko Ihowā ahau.”
