Ko te Pukapuka a
Nahumu
1
1 Ko te poropititanga mō Ninewe. Ko te pukapuka o te kite a Nahumu Erekohi.
Te Riri o Ihowā ki a Ninewe
2 He Atua hae a Ihowā, he rapu utu;
he rapu utu a Ihowā, ā, kī tonu i te riri;
e rapu utu ana a Ihowā i ōna hoariri,
ā, e rongoātia ana e ia he riri mō ōna hoariri.
3 He pūhoi a Ihowā ki te riri, he nui tōna kaha,
e kore rawa e whakaharakoretia e ia te tangata hara.
Ko tō Ihowā ara kei te tūkauati, kei te paroro,
ko ngā kapua te puehu o ōna waewae.
4 E rīria ana e ia te moana, ā, meinga ana kia maroke,
ā, whakamaroketia ana ngā awa katoa.
E ngohe ana a Pahana, me Karamere,
ā, kahakore noa iho te puāwai o Repanōna.
5 Wiri ana ngā maunga i a ia,
rewa ana ngā pukepuke;
huamo ake ana te whenua i tōna aroaro,
āe rā, te ao, me ngā tāngata katoa e noho ana i reira.
6 Ko wai e kaha ki te tū i mua i tōna āritarita?
Ko wai e kaha ki te whakatika, ina mura tōna riri;
ko te ringihanga mai o tōna weriweri, ānō he ahi;
ko ngā kāmaka wāhia iho e ia.
7 He pai a Ihowā,
he pā kaha i te rā o te raru;
e mōhio ana hoki ia ki te hunga
e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
8 Otiia ka mōtī tō reira wāhi i tāna waipuke e ngawhā ana;
ka whāia anō e ia ōna hoariri ki roto ki te pōuri.
9 Ko te aha tā koutou e whakaaro nā ki a Ihowā?
Ka mōtī rawa i a ia;
e kore e tuaruatia te putanga ake o te aituā.
10 Nō te mea, ahakoa rite rātou ki te tātarāmoa e whiwhi ana,
ahakoa ki ngā kōpū anō nā tā rātou wāina,
ka tino pau rātou, ānō he kakau wīti kua maroke.
11 Kua puta mai i roto i a koe
tētahi e whakaaro ana i te hē mō Ihowā,
he kaiwhakatakoto i te whakaaro kino.
He Rongo Pai mō Hūrā
12 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā,
“Ahakoa tino kaha rātou, ahakoa tini,
heoi ka tapahia rātou, ka pahemo ia.
Ahakoa i whiua koe e ahau,
e kore koe e whiua e ahau ā muri ake nei.
13 Nā, ākuanei ahau wāhi ai i tāna ioka i runga i a koe,
momotu ai i ōu here.”
14 He whakahau hoki tā Ihowā mōu, arā:
“Kia kaua e whakatōkia tētahi o tōu ingoa ā muri ake nei;
ka hātepea atu e ahau te whakapakoko tārai
me te whakapakoko whakarewa i roto i te whare o ōu atua.
Ka hangā e ahau he urupā mōu; nō te mea he kino koe.”
15 Nanā, kei runga i ngā maunga ngā waewae
o te kaikawe mai i te kōrero pai,
o te kaikauwhau i te rongo mau!
Mahia āu hākari, e Hūrā,
whakamanā āu kupu taurangi;
nō te mea heoi anō haeretanga atu o te tangata kino nā waenga i a koe;
kua hātepea rawatia atu ia.
