Te Whakawātanga ki a Āmona
1 Mō ngā tamariki a Āmona.
Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:
“Kāhore ianei a Īharaira tamariki?
Kāhore āna tāngata hei whakarerenga iho mō āna taonga?
Nā, he aha a Kara i riro ai i a Marakomo,
i noho ai tōna iwi ki roto ki ōna pā?
2 Mō reira, tēnei ngā rā te haere mai nei,
e ai tā Ihowā,
e meinga ai e ahau te whakaoho o te riri
kia rangona ki Rapa o ngā tama a Āmona;
ā, ka waiho hei pūranga kua ururuatia,
ka tahuna āna tamāhine ki te ahi;
ā, ka riro i a Īharaira te hunga
i a rātou nei ia i mua,”
e ai tā Ihowā.
3 “Auē, e Hehepona, kua pāhuatia hoki a Hai!
E tangi, e ngā tamāhine a Rapa!
Whītikiria koutou ki te kākahu taratara;
e tangi, ka omaoma noa i waenga i ngā taiepa;
nō te mea ka riro a Marakomo i te whakarau,
ōna tohunga me ōna rangatira ngātahi anō.
4 He aha koe i whakamanamana ai ki ngā raorao,
ki tōu raorao tāheke, e te tamāhine tāhurihuri kē?
E whakawhirinaki nei ki ōna taonga, e mea nei,
‘Ko wai e haere mai ki ahau?’
5 Nanā, ka tākina e ahau he wehi ki runga ki a koe,”
e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā o ngā mano,
“He mea nā te hunga katoa i tētahi taha ōu, i tētahi taha;
ā, ka āia rawatia atu koutou, tērā, tērā, ki waho,
ā, kāhore he kaitāwhiu mai mō te mea i marara atu.
6 Hei muri ia ka whakahokia e ahau ngā tama a Āmona i te whakarau,”
e ai tā Ihowā.
Te Whakawātanga ki a Ēroma
7 Mō Ēroma.
Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano:
“Kua kāhore rānei te whakaaro nui i Temana?
Kua mōtī ianei te whakatakoto kōrero a te hunga mōhio?
Kua memeha rānei tō rātou whakaaro nui?
8 E rere koutou, tahuri atu, hei roto riro noho ai,
e ngā tāngata o Rerana!
Nō te mea ka tākina mai e ahau te aituā o Ēhau ki runga ki a ia,
i te wā e tirotiro ai ahau i a ia.
9 Ki te tae atu he kaikohikohi karepe ki a koe,
e kore ianei e mahue i a rātou ētahi karepe hei hamunga?
Ki te mea he tāhae i te pō,
e kore ianei rātou e tukituki kia mākona rawa rātou?
10 Kua takoto kau ia i ahau a Ēhau,
kua hurahia e ahau ōna wāhi ngaro,
tē āhei ia te huna i a ia.
Kua oti ōna uri te pāhua, ōna tēina
me ōna hoa tata, ā, kua kore hoki ia.
11 Waiho āu pani, māku e whakaora;
ko ōu pouaru, kia whakawhirinaki rātou ki ahau.”
12 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā: “Nanā, ko te hunga i takoto nei te tikanga kia kaua e inu i te kapu, he pono ka inumia e rātou; ā, ko koe rānei te mea e kore rawa e whiua? E kore e kore ka whiua koe, engari ka tino inu nei koe. 13 Nō te mea kua waiho ahau e ahau anō hei oati, e ai tā Ihowā, ka waiho a Potora hei mīharotanga, hei ingoa kino, hei ururua, hei kanga anō hoki; ā, ka waiho ōna pā katoa hei koraha ake ake.”
14 Kua rangona e ahau he kōrero i a Ihowā,
kua oti hoki te karere te tuku ki ngā iwi, hei kī atu:
“Whakahuihui i a koutou, haere mai hoki ki a ia,
ā, ka whakatika atu ki te whawhai!
15 “Nō te mea, nā, kua meinga koe e ahau kia iti i roto i ngā tauiwi,
he mea whakahāwea i roto i ngā tāngata.
16 Tēnā ko tōu whakamataku,
he whakakake nō tōu ngākau i pōhewa ai koe,
e koe e noho nā i ngā kapiti o te kāmaka,
e pupuri nā i te wāhi tiketike o te pukepuke.
Ahakoa hangā e koe tōu ōhanga kia rite ki tō te ēkara te tiketike,
ka whakahokia iho koe e ahau i reira,”
e ai tā Ihowā.
17 “Ā, ka meinga a Ēroma hei mīharotanga;
ko ngā tāngata katoa e tika ana nā reira, ka mīharo,
ka hī mai ki ōna whiunga katoa.
18 Ka rite ki te hurihanga o Horoma, o Komora,
o ngā pā hoki i tata ki reira,”
e ai tā Ihowā,
“e kore tētahi tangata e whai kāinga ki reira,
e kore hoki tētahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.
19 “Nanā, ka rite ia ki te raiona e haere ake ana i te whakamanamana o Horano
ki te nohoanga kaha;
otiia, ka meinga ohoreretia ai e ahau kia rere atu i a ia;
ā, ko wai te mea e whiriwhiria e ahau ko ia hei rangatira mōna?
Ko wai hoki e rite ana ki ahau?
Ko wai hei whakarite he wā mōku?
Ko wai anō tēnei hēpara hei tū ki tōku aroaro?”
20 Mō reira whakarongo ki te tikanga a Ihowā kua whakatakotoria e ia mō Ēroma;
ki ōna whakaaro hoki, kua whakaaroa e ia mō ngā tāngata o Temana:
He pono ka tōia atu rātou, arā ngā mea ririki o te kāhui;
he pono ka meinga e ia tō rātou nohoanga rātou hoki kia ngaro.
21 Oho ana te whenua i te haruru o tō rātou hinganga;
tērā te hāmama rangona ana mai tōna ngangau i te Moana Whero.
22 Nanā, ka haere mai ia, ā, ka rere ānō he ēkara,
ā, ka roha atu ōna parirau ki runga ki Potora;
ā, ka rite te ngākau o ngā mārohirohi o Ēroma i taua rā
ki te ngākau o te wahine e whakamamae ana.
Te Whakawātanga ki Ramahiku
23 Mō Ramahiku.
“Kua whakamā a Hāmata, rāua ko Ārapara;
nō te mea kua tae he rongo kino ki a rātou,
harotu kau rātou; tērā te tangi kei te moana;
kāhore e marino.
24 Kua ngoikore a Ramahiku, kua anga ki te rere,
mau pū hoki i te wehi;
kua rokohanga hoki ia e te raru, e te mamae,
me te mea he wahine e whānau ana.
25 Taukiri e! Kīhai i mahue te pā e whakamoemititia ana,
te pā i koa ai ahau!
26 Heoi, hinga ana āna taitama i ōna waharoa,
mōtī pū ngā tāngata whawhai katoa i taua rā,”
e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.
27 “Nā, ka tahuna anō e ahau he ahi i roto i te taiepa o Ramahiku,
ā, ka pau i reira ngā whare kīngi o Pēneharara.”
Te Whakawātanga ki Kerara me Hatoro
28 Mō Kerara, mō ngā kīngitanga hoki o Hatoro i patua nei e Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna.
Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:
“Whakatika koutou, whakaekea a Kerara,
pāhuatia hoki ngā tama o te rāwhiti.
29 Ka tangohia e rātou ō rātou tēneti, ā rātou hipi;
ā, ka mauria atu e rātou mā rātou ō rātou kākahu ārai,
ā rātou oko katoa, me ā rātou kāmera;
ā, tērā rātou e karanga ki a rātou,
‘He wehi kei ngā taha katoa!’
30 E rere koutou, haere atu ki tawhiti,
nohoia a roto riro, e ngā tāngata o Hatoro!”
e ai tā Ihowā.
“Kua takoto hoki te tikanga
a Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna mō koutou,
kua whakaaroa hoki e ia he whakaaro mō koutou.
31 “Whakatika, whakaekea te iwi e noho ana i te rangimārie,
e noho kore wehi nā,”
e ai tā Ihowā;
“kāhore nā ō rātou kēti,
kāhore he tūtaki, e noho takitahi ana.
32 Ā, ka pāhuatia ā rātou kāmera,
ā, hei taonga pārau hoki te tini o ā rātou kararehe.
Ā, ka whakamararatia e ahau ki ngā hau katoa
te hunga i tapahia ngā tapa o ō rātou makawe;
ā, ka tākina mai e ahau te aituā mō rātou
i ngā taha katoa o rātou,”
e ai tā Ihowā.
33 “Ā hei nohoanga a Hatoro mō ngā kurī mohoao,
hei ururua ake ake.
E kore tētahi tangata e whai kāinga ki reira,
e kore anō hoki tētahi tama a te tangata e noho ki reira.”
Te Whakawātanga ki Erama
34 Ko te kupu a Ihowā i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mō Erama i te tīmatanga o te kīngitanga o Terekia kīngi o Hūrā, i mea ia: 35 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: “Nanā, ka whatia e ahau te kōpere a Erama, te mea nui rawa o tō rātou kaha. 36 Ā, ka tākina atu e ahau ngā hau e whā i ngā pito e whā o te rangi ki runga ki Erama, ā, ka tītaritaria atu rātou e ahau ki aua hau katoa; kāhore hoki he iwi e kore te taea atu e te hunga o Erama ka peia atu nei. 37 Ā, ka meinga e ahau a Erama kia wehi i te aroaro o ōna hoariri, i te aroaro hoki o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea rātou; ka tākina hoki e ahau he kino ki runga ki a rātou, ko tōku riri e mura ana, e ai tā Ihowā; ā, ka ungā e ahau te hoari ki muri i a rātou, ā, kia poto rā anō rātou i ahau. 38 Nā, ka whakatūria e ahau tōku torōna ki Erama, ā, ka whakakāhoretia atu tō reira kīngi, rātou ko ngā rangatira,” e ai tā Ihowā.
39 “Otiia hei ngā rā whakamutunga ka whakahokia e ahau a Erama i te whakarau,” e ai tā Ihowā.
