Te Wahine Pūremu a Ihowā
1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 “E te tama a te tangata, meinga a Hiruhārama kia mōhio ki āna mea whakarihariha, 3 mea atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā, ki Hiruhārama: Ko tōu take, ko tōu wāhi i whānau ai koe, ko te whenua o te Kanaani; ko te Amori tōu pāpā, ā, ko tōu whaea he Hiti. 4 Nā, ko tōu whānautanga, i te rā i whānau ai koe, kīhai tōu uho i tapahia, kīhai anō koe i horoia ki te wai kia mā ai; kīhai rawa anō koe i meatia ki te tote, kīhai rawa i takaia. 5 Kīhai tētahi kanohi i aroha ki a koe, kīhai i meatia ki a koe tētahi o ēnei mea, he mahi tohu ki a koe. Heoi, he mea makā atu koe ki te mata o te pārae, he mea whakarihariha hoki tōu tinana i te rā i whānau ai koe.
6 “Nā, i tōku haerenga atu mā tōu taha, ā, ka kite ahau i a koe e oke ana i roto i ōu toto, ka mea atu ahau ki a koe, ahakoa kei roto koe i ōu toto, ‘E ora’; āe rā, i mea atu ahau ki a koe, ahakoa kei roto koe i ōu toto, ‘E ora.’ 7 I meinga anō koe e ahau kia tini, kia rite ki ngā tupu o te māra; heoi kua tokomaha koe, kua nui, kua tae anō koe ki ngā whakapaipai ātaahua. Kua pupuku ōu ū, kua tupu ōu makawe; i mua hoki e noho tahanga ana koe, kāhore he kākahu.
8 “Nā, i tōku haerenga atu i tōu taha, ka kite ahau i a koe, nā, he wā nō te aroha te wā i a koe. Nā, hīpokina iho e ahau te remu o tōku ki runga ki a koe, uhia ana koe e ahau, i a koe e noho tahanga ana: Āe rā, oati ana ahau ki a koe, uru ana tāua ki te kawenata, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā, ā, riro mai ana koe i ahau. 9 Kātahi ka horoia koe e ahau ki te wai; āe rā, āta horoia atu ana e ahau ōu toto i a koe; ā, pania ana koe e ahau ki te hinu. 10 Ko tāku kākahu mōu he mea whakairo; ko āku hū mōu he hiako kekeno; ko tāku whītiki mōu he rīnena pai; hīpokina ana koe e ahau ki te hiraka. 11 He mea whakapaipai anō koe nāku ki te whakapaipai, whakanohoia ana e ahau he poroporo ki ōu ringa, he hei ki tōu kakī. 12 I kuhua anō e ahau he mōwhiti ki tōu ihu, he whakakai ki ōu taringa, he karauna ātaahua ki tōu māhunga. 13 Heoi, kua oti koe te whakapaipai ki te kōura, ki te hiriwa; he rīnena pai anō hoki tōu kākahu, he hiraka, he mea whakairo hoki; i kai koe i te parāoa pai, i te honi, i te hinu; nui atu tōu ātaahua, kake ana koe hei kīngitanga. 14 Pakū ana tōu ingoa ki ngā iwi he ātaahua nōu; i tino pai rawa hoki. He hōnore hoki nōku i tukua atu e ahau ki a koe, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
15 “Otiia whakawhirinaki ana koe ki tōu ātaahua, kairau ana koe, he whakaaro hoki nōu ki tōu ingoa, ringihia ana e koe ōu kairautanga ki te tangata e haere atu ana i tōu taha; i a ia tēnā. 16 I tīkina atu anō e koe ētahi o ōu kākahu, ā, mahia ana e koe āu wāhi tiketike, kōtingotingo rawa, hei kairautanga mōu. E kore he pēnā e puta ā mua, e kore anō e pēnā. 17 I tīkina anō e koe āu mea whakapaipai, he kōura nāku, he hiriwa nāku, ko āku i hoatu rā ki a koe, ā, hangā ana e koe ētahi whakapakoko tāne māu, hei kairautanga mōu. 18 I tīkina anō e koe ōu kākahu whakairo, hei hīpoki mō rātou, hoatu ana e koe tāku hinu, me tāku whakakakara ki tō rātou aroaro. 19 Ko tāku kai hoki, i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ko te parāoa pai, ko te hinu, ko te honi i whāngaia ai koe e ahau, hoatu ana anō tērā e koe ki tō rātou aroaro hei kakara reka, ā, koia anō tērā; e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
20 “I tīkina anō e koe āu tama me āu tamāhine, ā tāua whānau, patua iho e koe hei kai mā rātou. He iti ianei ōu kairautanga, 21 i patua ai e koe āku tamariki, i tukua atu ai rātou, i meatia rātou kia haere nā roto i te ahi ki a rātou? 22 Nā, i āu mea whakarihariha katoa, i ōu kairautanga, kīhai koe i mahara ki ngā rā o tōu tamāhinetanga, i a koe e noho tahanga ana, kāhore he kākahu, i a koe i oke rā i roto i ōu toto.
23 “Nā, i muri i tōu hē katoa; auē te mate mōu, auē, te mate mōu, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā, 24 kei te hanga koe i te whare tairanga mōu, mahia ana e koe he wāhi tiketike mōu i ngā waharoa katoa. 25 Kua hangā anō e koe tāu wāhi tiketike ki ngā ahunga katoa o ngā ara, meinga ana e koe tōu ātaahua kia whakariharihangia, whewhera tonu ōu waewae ki ngā tāngata e haere ana i tōu taha, whakamaha ana e koe tōu kairautanga. 26 Kua kairau anō koe ki ngā Īhipiana, ki ōu hoa tata, he hunga kikokiko nui; whakamaha ana e koe tōu kairautanga, hei whakapātaritari i ahau. 27 Nā reira, nanā, kua totoro atu tōku ringa ki runga ki a koe, kua whakaititia anō e ahau ngā kai i rite māu, ā, hoatu ana koe e ahau ki tā ōu hoariri i pai ai, ki ngā tamāhine a ngā Pirihitini, e whakamā nei ki tōu ara pūremu. 28 I kairau anō koe ki ngā Ahiriana, he kore hoki nōu e ngata; inā, kairau ana koe ki a rātou, otiia kīhai koe i ngata. 29 Kua whakamaha anō e koe ōu kairautanga ki te whenua o Kanaana a Karari atu ana; heoi kīhai anō i ngata i tēnei.
30 “Anō te ngoikore o tōu ngākau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā, i tāu mahinga i ēnei mea katoa, he mahi nā te wahine kairau, nā te mea taikaha; 31 i tāu hanganga i tōu whare tairanga ki te ahunga mai o ngā ara katoa, i tāu mahinga i tāu wāhi tiketike ki ngā waharoa katoa. Kīhai tāu i rite ki tā te wahine kairau, e whakahāwea ana hoki koe ki te utu! 32 He wahine moe hoa, i pūremu! E tuku mai ana i ngā tāngata kē ehara nei i te hoa nōna! 33 E hoatu ana e rātou he mea ki ngā wāhine kairau katoa; ko koe ia e hoatu ana i ōu taonga ki te hunga katoa e hiahia ana ki a koe, ā, utua ana rātou e koe, he mea kia haere mai ai rātou ki a koe i ngā taha katoa ki ōu kairautanga. 34 He rerekē hoki tāu i tā ētahi wāhine i ōu kairautanga, inā kāhore tētahi e aru ana i a koe, kairau ai. I te mea hoki ka hoatu e koe he utu, ā, kāhore he utu e hōmai ki a koe, nā, ka rerekē tāu.
35 “Mō reira whakarongo, e te wahine kairau, ki te kupu a Ihowā: 36 Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā, Nā, kua ringihia atu nā tōu weriweri, kua kitea anō koe e noho tahanga ana i ōu kairautanga ki te hunga i hiahia ki a koe; ā, he mea ki āu whakapakoko whakarihariha katoa, ki te toto hoki o āu tamariki i hoatu nā e koe ki a rātou; 37 mō reira, ka huihuia katoatia e ahau te hunga katoa i hiahia ki a koe āu i āhuareka ai, rātou ko te hunga katoa i aroha ai koe, ko te hunga katoa hoki i kino ai koe; inā, ka huihuia rātou e ahau ki a koe i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha ka whakakitea anō koe e ahau ki a rātou e noho tahanga ana, kia kite ai rātou i ōu wāhi katoa e takoto kau ana. 38 Nā, ko tāku whakawā i a koe ka rite ki te whakawā o ngā wāhine kua takahi i te ture mārena, o ngā wāhine kua whakaheke toto; ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te toto o te weriweri, o te hae. 39 Ka tukua anō koe e ahau ki tō rātou ringa, ā, ka whakahoroa e rātou tōu whare tairanga, ka wāhia āu wāhi tiketike; ka huia atu anō ōu kākahu, ka tangohia āu mea whakapaipai, ā, ka waiho koe kia noho tahanga ana, kāhore he kākahu. 40 Ka kawea mai anō e rātou he rōpū hei whawhai ki a koe, ā, ka ākina koe ki te kōhatu, ka werohia ki ā rātou hoari, puta rawa. 41 Ka tahuna anō e rātou ōu whare ki te ahi, ka mahia anō he whakaritenga ki a koe i te tirohanga a ngā wāhine tokomaha; ā, ka meinga e ahau kia mutu ōu kairautanga, e kore anō he utu e hoatu e koe ā muri ake nei. 42 Heoi, ka ngata i konā tōku riri ki a koe, ka tahuri atu tōku hae i a koe, ā, ka āta noho ahau, e kore anō e riri ki a koe ā muri ake nei.
43 “Nō te mea kīhai koe i mahara ki ngā rā o tōu taitamāhinetanga, heoi whakapōreareatia ana ahau e koe ki ēnei mea katoa; mō reira tēnei ahau te hoatu nei i tōu tikanga ki runga ki tōu māhunga, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. E kore anō tēnei weriweri e honoa iho e koe ki āu mea whakarihariha katoa.
44 “Nanā, ko te hunga katoa e kōrero ana i ngā whakatauki, ko tā rātou whakatauki tēnei mōu, e mea nei: ‘Kei te whaea tonu te rite o tāna tamāhine.’ 45 Ko koe te tamāhine a tōu whaea, e anuanu rā ki tāna tahu, ki āna tamariki hoki; ā, ko koe te teina o ōu tuākana, i whakarihariha nei ki ā rāua tahu, ki ā rāua tamariki hoki. He Hiti tō koutou whaea, he Amori tō koutou pāpā. 46 Nā, ko Hamaria tōu tuakana, e noho nei i tōu taha mauī, rātou ko āna tamāhine; ā, ko tōu teina, e noho nā i tōu taha matau, ko Horoma rātou ko āna tamāhine. 47 Heoi, kīhai koe i haere i runga i ō rāua ara, kīhai anō tāu mahi i rite ki ā rāua mea whakarihariha; engari, me te mea nei he mea iti rawa tērā, neke noa atu tōu tūtūā i tō rātou i ōu ara katoa. 48 E ora ana ahau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā, kīhai te mahi a tōu teina, a Horoma, rātou ko āna tamāhine i rite ki tāu mahi, ki tāu, ki tā āu tamāhine.
49 “Nanā, ko te hē tēnei o tōu teina, o Horoma: he whakapehapeha i roto i a ia, i a rātou ko āna tamāhine, he takapū kī i te taro, he ngākau warea i te nui taonga; kīhai hoki ia i whakaū ake i ngā ringa o te ware, o te rawakore. 50 Ā, i whakakake rātou, i mahi hoki i te mea whakarihariha ki tōku aroaro; nō reira i unuhia atu ai rātou e ahau, kei tāku i kite ai he pai. 51 Kīhai hoki o Hamaria i rite ki te hāwhe o ōu hara; engari i whakanuia atu e koe āu mea whakarihariha i a rātou, ka ai hoki āu mea whakarihariha katoa i mahia e koe hei whakatika mō tā tōu tuakana, mō tā tōu teina. 52 Nā, ko koe, whakawahā e koe tōu nā whakamā, nāu nā i whakatika tōu teina, tōu tuakana; nā ōu hara i hara ai koe, he nui atu nei te whakarihariha i o rāua, ka nui atu tō rāua tika i tōu. Āe rā, kia numinumi hoki koe, kia waha i tōu whakamā, kua whakatikaia nā hoki e koe tā tōu teina, tā tōu tuakana.
53 “Nā, ka whakahokia rāua e ahau i te whakarau, a Horoma, me āna tamāhine i te whakarau, a Hamaria me āna tamāhine i te whakarau, ko ōu whakarau i te whakarau, i roto i a rātou. 54 Kia mau ai ki a koe tōu whakamā, kia numinumi kau ai mō ngā mea katoa i mea ai koe, i a koe ka waiho nā hei whakamānawatanga mō rātou. 55 Ka hoki tōu teina, a Horoma rātou ko āna tamāhine, ki tō rātou tū ō mua, ā, ka hoki a Hamaria rātou ko āna tamāhine ki tō rātou tū ō mua, ka hoki anō koutou ko āu tamāhine ki tō koutou tū ō mua. 56 Kīhai nā hoki tōu teina, a Horoma, i rangona i roto i tōu māngai i te rā i tōu whakakake, 57 i te mea kīanō tōu hē i hurahia, i te wā iara o te tāwainga a ngā tamāhine a Hīria, a te hunga katoa i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha, a ngā tamāhine a ngā Pirihitini e whakahāwea nā ki a koe i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. 58 Kua mau ki a koe tōu hē, me āu mea whakarihariha, e ai tā Ihowā.”
He Kawenata Pūmau Tonu
59 “Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki a Ihowā: Ko tāku mahi ki a koe ka rite ki tāu mahi; kua whakahāwea nā hoki koe ki te oati, whakatakā ana e koe te kawenata. 60 Otiia, ka mahara anō ahau ki tāku kawenata ki a koe i ngā rā o tōu taitamāhinetanga, ka pūmau anō i ahau he kawenata ki a koe ā ake ake. 61 Hei reira ka mahara koe ki ōu ara, ka whakamā, ina riro i a koe ōu tuākana, tōu teina; ā, ka hoatu rāua e ahau ki a koe hei tamāhine, otiia ehara i te mea nā tāu kawenata. 62 Ka pūmau anō i ahau tāku kawenata ki a koe, ā, ka mōhio koe ko Ihowā ahau; 63 kia mahara ai, kia numinumi kau ai koe, kia kaua ai hoki e puaki tōu māngai i muri iho, mō tōu whakamā hoki; ina mārie ahau ki a koe, ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai koe,” e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
