Kia Hari a Hiona
1 Maranga, maranga;
kākahuria tōu kaha, e Hiona!
Kākahuria ōu kahu whakapaipai,
e Hiruhārama, e te pā tapu;
nō te mea heoi anō haerenga mai ki a koe
o te mea kokotikore, o te mea poke.
2 Ruperupea atu te puehu i a koe, whakatika,
noho iho, e Hiruhārama!
Wetekina ngā here i tōu kakī,
e te tamāhine herehere a Hiona!
3 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā:
Kua hokona kautia atu koutou;
nā, ehara i te moni māna koutou e whakahoki mai.
4 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:
“Haere atu tāku iwi ki Īhipa i mua, ki reira noho ai;
nā, kāhore he rawa i whakatupuria kinotia ai rātou e te Ahiriana.
5 “Nā, he aha rā tāku i konei,” e ai tā Ihowā;
“ka kāhakina kautia atu nei hoki tāku iwi?
Tangi auē ana i ō rātou rangatira,” e ai tā Ihowā,
“e whakahāweatia tonutia ana tōku ingoa i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā.
6 Mō konei ka mōhio tāku iwi ki tōku ingoa;
mō konei ka mōhio rātou i taua rā
ko ahau te kōrero nei;
nanā, ko ahau tēnei.”
7 Anō te āhuareka o ngā waewae i runga i ngā maunga
o te kaikawe i te rongo pai,
e kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo;
e kawe mai ana i te rongo whakahari o te pai,
e kauwhau ana i te ora;
e mea ana ki a Hiona,
“E kīngi ana tōu Atua.”
8 Te reo o āu tūtei! Ka maranga i a rātou te reo,
ka waiata ngātahi;
nō te mea ka kite rātou he kanohi, he kanohi,
ua whakahoki a Ihowā i Hiona.
9 Hāmama, waiata ngātahi,
e ngā wāhi o Hiruhārama kua ururuatia;
kua whakamārie hoki a Ihowā i tāna iwi,
kua hoko i Hiruhārama.
10 Kua huhua te ringa tapu o Ihowā
ki te aroaro o ngā tauiwi katoa,
ā, ka kite ngā pito katoa o te ao
i te whakaora a tō tātou Atua.
11 Maunu, maunu, haere atu i reira!
Kaua e pā ki te mea poke;
haere atu i roto i a ia; kia mā,
e ngā kaimau o ngā oko a Ihowā.
12 E kore hoki koutou e haere kaikā,
e kore hoki e haere pērā i te whati;
nō te mea ka haere a Ihowā i tō koutou aroaro;
ko te Atua hoki o Īharaira hei hiku mō koutou.
Te Pononga e Mamae ana
13 Nanā, ka mahi tūpato tāku pononga,
ka whakatiketiketia ia, ka hāpainga ki runga,
ā, ka tiketike rawa atu.
14 Pērā i te tini i mīharo ki a koe
– i kino iho hoki tōna kanohi i tō te tangata,
tōna āhua i tō ngā tama a te tangata –
15 waihoki he maha ngā iwi ka tāuhiuhia e ia;
ā, ka kopi te māngai o ngā kīngi ki a ia.
Nō te mea ko ngā mea kīhai i kōrerotia ki a rātou ka kitea,
ko ngā mea kīhai i rangona ka mōhiotia.
