Ka Whakahaua ngā Hūrai e Hairuha kia hoki
1 Nā, i te tau tuatahi o Hairuha kīngi o Pahia, he mea kia whakamanā ai te kupu a Ihowā, i whakapuakina e Heremaia, ka whakaohokia e Ihowā te wairua o Hairuha kīngi o Pahia, ā, tukua ana e tērā tāna karanga puta noa i tōna kīngitanga, i tuhituhia hoki e ia, i mea ia:
2 Ko te kupu tēnei a Hairuha kīngi o Pahia:
Kua oti ngā kīngitanga katoa o te whenua te hōmai ki ahau e Ihowā, e te Atua o ngā rangi; kua whakahaua mai hoki ahau e ia kia hangā he whare mōna ki Hiruhārama, ki tērā i Hūrā. 3 Ahakoa ko wai o koutou o tāna iwi katoa – hei a ia tōna Atua – ā, me haere ake ia ki Hiruhārama, ki tērā i Hūrā, ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowā, o te Atua o Īharaira – ko ia nei te Atua, kei Hiruhārama anō ia.
4 Nā, ko te tangata ka mahue ki te wāhi e noho ai ia, mā ngā tāngata o tōna wāhi ia e āwhina ki te hiriwa, ki te kōura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, hei tāpiri mō ngā mea hoatu noa mō te whare o te Atua i Hiruhārama.
5 Kātahi ka whakatika ngā upoko o ngā whare o ngā mātua o Hūrā, o Pineamine, me ngā tohunga, me ngā Rīwaiti – me te hunga katoa i whakaohokia nei ō rātou wairua e te Atua – ka mea ki te haere ki te hanga i te whare o Ihowā i Hiruhārama. 6 Nā, ko ngā tāngata katoa i ō rātou taha, kei te whakakaha i ō rātou ringa ki te oko hiriwa, ki te kōura, ki te taonga, ki te kararehe, ki te mea utu nui, he mea tāpiri ki ngā mea hōmai noa katoa. 7 Ā, i whakaputaina e Kīngi Hairuha ngā oko o te whare o Ihowā i kawea atu nei e Nepukaneha i Hiruhārama, i hoatu nei e ia ki roto ki te whare o ōna atua. 8 I whakaputaina ēnei e Hairuha kīngi o Pahia, arā e Mitirerata kaitiaki taonga, taua atu ana e ia ki a Hehepātara rangatira o Hūrā.
9 Ko te maha tēnei o aua mea: e toru tekau peihana kōura, kotahi mano peihana hiriwa, e rua tekau mā iwa māripi; 10 e toru tekau ngā hāka kōura, ko ngā hāka hiriwa, he āhua kē, e whā rau kotahi tekau; ko ētahi oko kē, kotahi mano.
11 Ko ngā oko katoa, ko ngā mea kōura, ko ngā mea hiriwa, e rima mano e whā rau. Ko ēnei katoa i kawea atu e Hehepātara i te kawenga o ngā whakarau i Papurōna ki Hiruhārama.
