He Wai e Rere ana i te Temepara
1 Ā, ka whakahokia ahau e ia ki te tatau o te whare. Nā, he wai e pupū mai ana i raro i te paepae o te whare whaka te rāwhiti, (e anga ana hoki te aronga o te whare ki te rāwhiti); ā, i heke mai ngā wai i raro i te taha ki matau o te whare, i te taha ki te tonga o te āta. 2 Kātahi ahau ka ārahina e ia i te ara o te kūwaha ki te raki, ā, ārahina āwhiotia ana nā te ara o waho ki tō waho kūwaha, nā te ara o te kūwaha e anga ana ki te rāwhiti; ā, ko ngā wai e rere ana i te taha ki matau.
3 Nō te haerenga atu o te tangata, i tōna ringa nei te aho, whaka te rāwhiti, kotahi mano ngā whatīanga i whanganga e ia, ā, ka meinga ahau e ia kia tika nā roto i ngā wai; i ngā ponapona te wai. 4 I whanganga anō he mano e ia, ā, meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika nā roto i ngā wai; i ngā turi te wai. I whanganga anō e ia he mano, ā, meinga ana ahau e ia kia tika i waenga; i ngā hope te wai. 5 Muri iho i whanganga e ia he mano; nā, he awa kīhai i taea te whiti; kua neke ake hoki ngā wai e kauhoea, he awa e kore e whitingia. 6 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “Ka kite rānei koe i tēnei e te tama a te tangata?”
Kātahi ahau ka ārahina e ia, ka whakahokia ki te pareparenga o te awa. 7 Hoki rawa atu ahau, nā, i te pareparenga o te awa tōna tini o te rākau i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 8 Kātahi ia ka mea ki ahau, “E puta atu ana ēnei wai ki te wāhi ki te rāwhiti, ka rere anō ki raro, ki te Arapa tae tonu atu ki te moana. Ko te moana he rerenga atu mō ngā wai i meinga kia puta mai, ka ai hei rongoā mō ngā wai. 9 Nā, ko ngā mea ora katoa e muimui ana, i ngā wāhi katoa e tae atu ai ngā awa, ka ora. Ka tini noa atu hoki ngā ika, nō te mea ka tae ēnei wai ki reira, ā, ka rongoātia ngā wai o te moana, ā, ka ora ngā mea katoa e tae atu ai te awa. 10 Nā, ka tū ngā kaihao ki tōna taha; ā, ka waiho he wāhi i Enekeri ā tae noa ki Ene-Ekeraima hei horahanga mō ngā kupenga; ā, ko ngā ika o aua wāhi ka rite ki ō rātou āhua, ka rite ki ngā ika o te Moana Nui, he tini noa iho. 11 Otiia, e kore e waimāori ngā wāhi oru o reira, me ngā repo o reira; ka tukua atu ki te tote. 12 Nā, ka tupu ki te taha o te awa, ki tōna pareparenga, ki tētahi taha, ki tētahi taha, ngā rākau kai katoa; e kore ngā rau e memenge, e kore anō ngā hua e kore. Ko ōna hua, hou tonu i ō rātou marama anō, nō te mea i puta mai ō rātou wai i te wāhi tapu. Nā, hei kai tōna hua, hei rongoā tōna rau.”
Ngā Rohe Hou o te Whenua
13 Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Hei konei te rohe, e wehewehe ai koutou i te whenua hei kāinga tupu, he mea whakarite ki ngā hapū kotahi tekau mā rua o Īharaira; kia rua ngā wāhi mā Hōhepa. 14 Ka riro hoki a reira i a koutou, tā tētahi, tā tētahi, rite tonu; he wāhi hoki ia i ara ai tōku ringa kia hoatu a reira ki ō koutou mātua. Inā, ka taka mai anō tēnei whenua ki a koutou hei kāinga tupu.
15 “Ko te rohe tēnei o te whenua: I te taha ki te raki, kei te Moana Nui, kei te ara ki Heterono, i te mea ka haere ki Terara; 16 kei Hāmata, kei Perota, (kei Hipiraima i te takiwā o te rohe ki Ramahiku, o te rohe ki Hāmata), kei Hatara Hatikono i te taha o te rohe ki Haurana. 17 Nā, ko te rohe i te moana, kei Hataraenana, kei te rohe ki Ramahiku, me te taha anō ki te raki whaka te raki, kei te rohe ki Hāmata. Ko te taha ki te raki hoki tēnei.
18 “Ko te taha ki te rāwhiti, i waenganui o Haurana, o Ramahiku, o Kireara, me te whenua o Īharaira, ko Horano; me whanganga mai i te rohe ki te raki tae noa ki te moana i te rāwhiti. Ko te taha ki te rāwhiti tēnei.
19 “Nā, ko te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga ka takoto atu i Tāmara tae noa ki ngā wai o Meripoto Karehe, ki te awa o Īhipa, ki te Moana Nui. Nā, ko te taha tēnei ki te tonga whaka te tonga.
20 “Nā, ko te rohe ki te hauāuru ko te Moana Nui, ka takoto atu i te rohe ki te tonga ā tae noa ki te ritenga atu o Hāmata. Ko te taha tēnei ki te hauāuru.
21 “Nā, me wehe tēnei whenua mō koutou, he mea whakarite ki ngā hapū o Īharaira. 22 Inā, me wehe tēnei whenua, hei kāinga tupu mō koutou, mō ngā tautāngata e noho ana i roto i a koutou, e whānau tamariki i roto i a koutou; ā, kia rite rātou ki tā koutou, ki tā te tangata whenua i roto i a Īharaira; kia taka mai he wāhi mō rātou i roto i a koutou, i roto i ngā hapū o Īharaira. 23 Nā, ko te hapū e noho ai te tautangata, me hoatu e koutou he wāhi mōna ki reira,” e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
