Ka Whakawhiti ngā Iwi Īharaira i Horano
1 Nā, ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, ā, ka tūria atu e rātou i Hitimi, ka tae ki Horano, ā, ia me ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, ā, moe ana ki reira i te mea kīanō i whiti noa. 2 Nā, i te paunga o ngā rā e toru, ka haere ngā rangatira nā waenganui o te puni; 3 ā, ka whakahau i te iwi, ka mea, “E kite koutou i te āka o te kawenata a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, i ngā tohunga hoki, i ngā Rīwaiti e amo ana, hei konā ka whakatika atu i ō koutou nohoanga, ka haere i muri. 4 Otiia, kia whai takiwā ki waenganui o koutou, o taua mea; kia rua mano whatīanga, he mea whanganga, mārie; kaua e whakatata ki taua mea, kia mōhio ai koutou ki te huarahi e haere ai koutou; kāhore nei hoki koutou i haere i tēnā huarahi i mua ake nei.”
5 Ā, i mea anō a Hohua ki te iwi, “Whakatapu i a koutou; ko āpōpō hoki a Ihowā mahi ai i ngā mea whakamīharo ki waenganui i a koutou.” 6 I mea anō a Hohua ki ngā tohunga, “Hāpainga ake te āka o te kawenata, haere i mua i te iwi.” Ā, hāpainga ana e rātou te āka o te kawenata, ā, haere ana i mua i te iwi.
7 Ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Hohua, “Ko āianei ahau tīmata ai te whakanui i a koe ki te aroaro o Īharaira katoa kia mōhio ai rātou, i a Mohi ahau, ka pērā anō ahau ki a koe. 8 Ā, māu e whakahau ki ngā tohunga e amo ana i te āka o te kawenata, e mea, ‘E tae koutou ki te tapa o te wai o Horano, me āta tū i roto i Horano.’ ”
9 Nā, ka mea a Hohua ki ngā tama a Īharaira, “Haere mai, whakarongo ki ngā kupu a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua.” 10 Nā, ka mea a Hohua, “Mā konei koutou ka mōhio ai kei roto i a koutou te Atua ora, ā, ka peia rawatia e ia i tō koutou aroaro ngā Kanaani, ngā Hiti, ngā Hiwi, ngā Perihi, ngā Kirikahi, ngā Amori, me ngā Iepuhi. 11 Nanā, ko te āka o te kawenata a te Ariki o te ao katoa te haere nei i mua i a koutou ki roto o Horano. 12 Nā, motuhia ki a koutou kia tekau mā rua tāngata o ngā iwi o Īharaira, kia takikotahi te tangata o te iwi. 13 Ā, ina tatū ngā kapu o ngā waewae o ngā tohunga e amo ana i te āka a Ihowā, a te Ariki o te ao katoa, ki ngā wai o Horano, ka motuhia ngā wai o Horano, arā ngā wai e rere mai ana i runga; ā, ka tū ake, kotahi anō pūranga.”
14 Ā, nō te haerenga atu o te iwi i ō rātou tēneti ki te whakawhiti i Horano, me ngā tohunga hoki e amo ana i te āka o te kawenata i mua i te iwi. 15 Ā, i te taenga o ngā kaiamo i te āka ki Horano, i te tukunga atu hoki o ngā waewae o ngā tohunga e amo ana i te āka ki te taha o te wai; e ngawhā ana hoki a Horano ki runga i ōna pareparenga katoa i ngā rā katoa o te kotinga; 16 ko te tino tūranga o ngā wai e heke iho ana i runga, ara ake ana kotahi anō pūranga, i tawhiti noa atu i te pā i Ārama, i te taha o Haretana; ā, ko ngā wai e rere iho ana ki te moana o te mānia, ki te Moana Tote, mimiti ana, motu kē atu ana; ā, whiti ana te iwi i te ritenga atu o Heriko. 17 Ā, tū mārie ana ngā tohunga i amo nei i te āka o te kawenata a Ihowā i te wāhi maroke i waenganui o Horano, me te haere anō a Īharaira katoa ki tāwāhi nā te wāhi maroke, ā poto noa te iwi katoa te whiti i Horano.
