Ekoruhe.
33.
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, “Haere, tūria atu ki runga, koutou ko te iwi i kawea mai nei e koe i te whenua o Īhipa, ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa, i mea ia, ‘Ka hoatu e ahau ki ōu uri.’ 
Ā, ka ungā he anahera e ahau ki mua i a koe, māku anō hoki e pei ngā Kanaani, ngā Amori, ngā Hiti, ngā Perihi, ngā Hiwi, me, ngā Iepuhi. 
Ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi; e kore hoki ahau e haere atu i roto i a koe; he iwi kakī mārō hoki koe; kei pau koe i ahau ki te ara.” 
Ā, i te rongonga o te iwi i tēnei rongo kino, ka pōuri, kīhai anō i whakanohoia e tētahi ōna whakapaipai. 
Ā, i kī atu a Ihowā ki a Mohi, “Mea atu ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ‘He iwi kakī mārō koutou. Kia mea kau ka puta atu ahau ki waenganui i a koe, ā, ka ngaro koe i ahau. Nā, whakarērea atu ōu whakapaipai, ā, ka mōhio ahau ki tāku e mea ai ki a koe.’ ” 
Nā, i aurutia e ngā tama a Īharaira ō rātou whakapaipai i Maunga Horepa ahu atu. 
Nā, tango ai a Mohi i te tapenākara ka whakatū ki waho o te puni ki tētahi wāhi mamao atu i te puni, ā, huaina ana e ia, “Ko te tapenākara o te whakaminenga”. Ā, i haere ngā tāngata katoa e rapu ana i a Ihowā, ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki waho o te puni. 
Ā, i a Mohi e haere ana ki te tapenākara ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ā, ka tū tērā, tērā, i te kūwaha o tōna tēneti, ā, ka titiro ki muri i a Mohi, ā haere noa ia ki roto ki te tapenākara. 
Ā, i a Mohi e haere ana ki roto ki te tapenākara, ka heke iho te pou kapua, ā, tū ana i te whatitoka o te tapenākara, ā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi. 
Ā, ko te kitenga o te iwi katoa i te pou kapua e tū ana i te whatitoka o te tapenākara, nā, ka whakatika te iwi katoa, ka koropiko hoki ia tangata, ia tangata, i te whatitoka o tōna tēneti. 
Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, he kanohi, he kanohi, pērā hoki me te tangata e kōrero nei ki tōna hoa. Ā, hoki ana ia ki te puni; ko tāna tangata ia, ko Hohua, tama a Nunu, kīhai taua taitamariki i neke atu i roto i te tapenākara. 
Ā, i mea a Mohi ki a Ihowā, “Titiro, kua mea mai nei koe ki ahau, ‘Kawea tēnei iwi ki runga’; ā, kāhore i whakaaturia mai e koe ki ahau tāu e ungā ai hei hoa mōku. Kua mea mai anō koe ki ahau, ‘E mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tōu ingoa hoki, kua manakohia anō koe e ahau.’ 
Nā, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, tēnā, whakaaturia mai ki ahau ōu ara, kia mōhio ai ahau ki a koe, kia manakohia ai ahau e koe; kia mahara hoki he iwi nāu tēnei iwi.” 
Nā, ka mea ia, “Ka haere atu tōku aroaro, ā, ka mea ahau i a koe kia okioki.” 
Nā, ka mea ia ki a ia, “Ki te kāhore tōu aroaro e haere, kaua mātou e kawea ki runga i konei. 
Mā te aha hoki e mōhiotia ai kua manakohia mātou ko tāu iwi e koe? He teka ianei māu kia haere tahi i a mātou? Pēnei ka motuhia mātou ko tāu iwi i ngā iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.” 
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, “Ko tēnei mea anō i kōrerotia mai nā e koe, ka rite i ahau; nō te mea e manakohia ana koe e ahau, ā, e mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, ki tōu ingoa hoki.” 
Nā, ka mea ia, “Tēnā rā, whakakitea mai ki ahau tōu korōria.” 
Nā, ka mea ia, “Ka meatia e ahau tōku pai katoa kia haere atu i tōu aroaro, ā, ka karangatia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowā i tōu aroaro, ka atawhai hoki ahau i tāku e atawhai ai, ka tohu hoki i tāku e tohu ai.” 
I mea anō ia, “E kore e taea e koe te titiro ki tōku mata; e kore hoki tētahi tangata e titiro ki ahau, ā, e ora.” 
I mea anō a Ihowā, “Nanā, he wāhi tēnei kei ahau, ā, me tū koe ki runga ki te kāmaka; 
ā, ka haere atu tōku korōria, nā, ka kawea koe e ahau ki roto ki te kapiti kōhatu, ā, ka taupokina koe e ahau ki tōku ringa, i ahau e haere atu ana. 
Ā, ka tangohia e ahau tōku ringa, ā, ka kite koe i muri ōku; ko tōku mata ia e kore e kitea.”
