Ko Kīngi Hōhia o Hūrā
(2 Whakapapa 34.1-2)
1 E waru ngā tau o Hōhia i tōna kīngitanga, ā, e toru tekau mā tahi ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. Ā, ko te ingoa o tōna whaea ko Ierira, he tamāhine nā Araia, nō Pohokata. 2 Ā, tika tonu tāna mahi ki te titiro a Ihowā; i haere hoki ia i runga i ngā ara katoa o tōna tupuna o Rāwiri, ā, kīhai i peka ki matau, ki mauī.
Ka Huraina te Pukapuka o te Ture
(2 Whakapapa 34.8-28)
3 Nā, i te tekau mā waru o ngā tau o Kīngi Hōhia ka ungā e te kīngi a Hapana tama a Atāria tama a Mehūrāma, te kaituhituhi, ki te whare o Ihowā; i mea ia, 4 “Haere ki a Hirikia ki te tino tohunga, kia huihuia e ia te moni e kawea ana mai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowā, tā ngā kaitiaki o te kūwaha i tango ai i te iwi. 5 Ka hoatu ki ngā ringa o ngā kaimahi o te mahi, o ngā kaitohutohu o te whare o Ihowā; ā, mā rātou e hoatu ki ngā kaimahi o te mahi i te whare o Ihowā, hei hanga mō ngā wāhi pakaru o te whare, 6 ki ngā kāmura, ki ngā kaihanga, ki ngā kaimahi kōhatu; ā, hei hoko i ngā rākau, i ngā kōhatu tārai, hei hanga mō te whare. 7 Otiia kīhai i uiuia ā rātou meatanga i te moni i hoatu nei ki ō rātou ringa; he pono hoki tā rātou mahi.”
8 Nā, ka mea a Hirikia tino tohunga ki a Hapana kaituhituhi, “Kua kitea e ahau te Pukapuka o te Ture i te whare o Ihowā.” Nā, ka hoatu e Hirikia te pukapuka ki a Hapana, ā, kōrerotia ana e ia. 9 Nā, ka haere a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kīngi, whakahokia ana te kōrero e ia ki te kīngi, i mea ia: “Kua ringiringihia e āu pononga te moni i kitea ki te whare, ā, hoatu ana ki ngā ringa o ngā kaimahi i te mahi, o ngā kaitohutohu i te whare o Ihowā.” 10 Nā, ka whakaatu a Hapana kaituhituhi ki te kīngi, ka mea, “Kua hōmai e Hirikia tohunga he pukapuka ki ahau.” Nā, kōrerotia ana e Hapana ki te aroaro o te kīngi.
11 Ā, nō te rongonga o te kīngi i ngā kupu o te Pukapuka o te Ture, ka haea e ia ōna kākahu. 12 Nā, ka whakahau te kīngi ki te tohunga, ki a Hirikia, rātou ko Ahikama tama a Hapana, ko Akaporo tama a Mikaia, ko Hapana kaituhituhi, ko Ahaia tangata a te kīngi, ka mea: 13 “Haere, ui atu ki a Ihowā mōku, mō tēnei iwi, mō Hūrā katoa hoki, he mea nā ngā kupu o tēnei pukapuka kua kitea nei. He nui hoki te riri o Ihowā kua ngiha nei ki a tātou, nō te mea kīhai ō tātou mātua i rongo ki ngā kupu o tēnei pukapuka, kīhai i mahi i ngā mea katoa i tuhituhia hei mea mā tātou.”
14 Heoi, haere ana a Hirikia tohunga rātou ko Ahikama, ko Akaporo, ko Hapana, ko Ahaia ki a Hurura, ki te wahine poropiti, wahine a Harumu kaitiaki kākahu, he tama hoki tērā nā Tikiwa tama a Harahaha; i Hiruhārama hoki taua wahine e noho ana, i te wāhi tuarua. Nā, kōrero ana rātou ki a ia.
15 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ko te kōrero tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira: Mea atu ki te tangata nāna koutou i unga mai ki ahau, 16 ‘Ko tā Ihowā kupu tēnei: Nanā, ka kawea atu e ahau he kino ki runga ki tēnei wāhi, ki runga anō i ōna tāngata, arā ngā kupu katoa o te pukapuka i kōrerotia nā e te kīngi o Hūrā. 17 Mō rātou i whakarere i ahau, i tahu whakakakara ki ngā atua kē, he whakapātaritari hoki i ahau ki ngā mahi katoa a ō rātou ringa; koia i ngiha ai tōku riri ki tēnei wāhi, ā, e kore e tineia.’ 18 Otiia, me kī atu e koutou ki te kīngi o Hūrā nāna nei koutou i unga mai ki te ui ki a Ihowā, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira: Nā, mō ngā kupu i rongo nā koe, 19 nā te mea he ngāwari tōu ngākau, ā, kua whakaiti koe i a koe ki te aroaro o Ihowā, i a koe ka rongo nā ki tāku i mea ai mō tēnei wāhi, mō ōna tāngata hoki, kia meinga rātou hei ururua, hei kanga; ā, kua haehae i ōu kākahu, kua tangi ki tōku aroaro; nā, kua rongo anō hoki ahau i a koe, e ai tā Ihowā. 20 Nanā, ka huihuia atu koe e ahau ki ōu mātua, ka huihuia atu anō koe ki tōu tanumanga i runga i te rangimārie, ā, e kore ōu kanohi e kite i ngā kino katoa e kawea mai e ahau ki tēnei wāhi.’ ”
Nā, whakahokia ana te kōrero e rātou ki te kīngi.
