Ko Ohora rāua ko Ohoripa
1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 “E te tama a te tangata, tokorua ngā wāhine i mua, he tamāhine nā te whaea kotahi. 3 Heoi, moepuku ana ki Īhipa; moepuku ana i tō rāua tamarikitanga. I romia ō rāua ū ki reira, i mirimiria ki reira ngā matamata o tō rāua wāhinatanga. 4 Nā, ko ō rāua ingoa, ko Ohora tō te tuakana, ko Ohoripa tō te teina. Ā, i riro rāua i ahau, i whānau hoki he tama, he tamāhine mā rāua. Nā, mō ō rāua ingoa, ko Hamaria a Ohora, ko Hiruhārama a Ohoripa.
5 “Nā, kua kairau a Ohora i te mea i ahau anō ia, minamina atu ana ki āna i aroha ai, ki ōna hoa tata, ki ngā Ahiriana, 6 he purū nei ō rātou kākahu, he ariki, he kāwana, he taitamariki, e minaminatia rātou katoa, he tāngata hōiho, e eke ana ki te hōiho. 7 Heoi, kei te mahi kairau ia ki a rātou, ki ngā tāngata papai rawa o ngā tama o Ahiria, ki a rātou katoa; ā, ahakoa ko wai i minaminatia e ia, whakapoke ana ia i a ia anō ki ā rātou whakapakoko katoa. 8 Kīhai anō i mahue i a ia āna moepuku mai o ngā rā o Īhipa; i takoto hoki rātou ki a ia i tōna tamarikitanga, ā, mirimiria ana e rātou ngā matamata o tōna wāhinatanga, ringihia ana e rātou ā rātou moepuku ki runga ki a ia.
9 “Nā reira ia i tukua ai e ahau ki te ringa o te hunga i arohaina e ia, ki te ringa o ngā tamariki o Ahiria, o āna i minamina ai. 10 Ā, hurahia ana ia e rātou kia noho tahanga; tangohia ana e rātou āna tama, āna tamāhine, patua iho ia e rātou ki te hoari; ā, whai ingoa ana ia i roto i ngā wāhine; i mahia hoki e rātou he whakawā ki a ia.
11 “Ā, ka kite tōna teina, a Ohoripa, i tēnei, otiia i nui atu te kino o tōna minamina i tō tērā, ōna moepuku hoki i nui atu i o tōna tuakana. 12 Minamina ana ia ki ngā Ahiriana, ki ōna hoa tata, ki ngā ariki, ki ngā kāwana, he pai rawa nei ngā kākahu, he tāngata hōiho e eke ana ki te hōiho, ko rātou katoa he tamariki e minaminatia. 13 Nā, ka kite ahau kua poke ia, kotahi tonu te ara ō rāua tokorua.
14 “Kua neke ake anō ōna moepuku; i kite hoki ia i ngā tāngata kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pakitara, i ngā whakaahua o ngā Karari, he mea tuhituhi ki te whero pai, 15 he mea whītiki ō rātou hope ki te whītiki, ō rātou māhunga mea rawa ki te kākahu kua oti te rongoā, he rangatira katoa ki te titiro; ko te āhua kei tō ngā tama o Papurōna, o Karari, o te whenua i whānau ai rātou. 16 Ā, nō te kitenga o ōna kanohi i a rātou, minamina tonu ki a rātou, tukua ana e ia he karere ki a rātou, ki Karari. 17 Nā, ka haere mai ki a ia o ngā tamariki o Papurōna ki te moenga aroha, whakapokea ana ia e rātou ki ā rātou moepuku. Heoi, ka whakapokea nei e rātou, nā, ngākaukore noa iho ia ki a rātou. 18 Heoi, ka whakakitea e ia ōna moepuku, ka whakakitea anō ia e noho tahanga ana; nā, ngākaukore noa iho ahau ki a ia, pērā tonu me ahau i ngākaukore rā ki tōna tuakana. 19 Heoi, whakanuia ana e ia ōna moepuku, me te mahara anō ia ki ngā rā o tōna tamarikitanga i a ia i kairau rā ki te whenua o Īhipa. 20 I minamina hoki ia ki ō rātou hoa moepuku, he kikokiko kāihe nei ō rātou kikokiko; ā, ko te mea e tārere mai ana i roto i a rātou rite tonu ki te mea e tārere mai ana i roto i te hōiho. 21 Nā, kua hokia nei e koe ngā hē o tōu tamarikitanga i ngā matamata o ōu ū i mirimiria rā e ngā Īhipiana, he meatanga ki ngā ū o tōu tamarikitanga.
22 “Mō reira, e Ohoripa, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā, ka ara i ahau ōu hoa aroha hei hoariri mōu, ērā kua ngākaukore nā koe ki a rātou, ka kawea mai anō rātou e ahau ki a koe ki ngā taha katoa – 23 ko ngā tāngata o Papurōna, rātou ko ngā Karari katoa, a Pekoro, a Hoa, a Koa, rātou ko ngā Ahiriana katoa: he taitamariki rātou katoa e minaminatia, he ariki, he kāwana, he rangatira, he rongo nui, he eke hōiho katoa. 24 Ā, ka haere mai rātou ki te whawhai ki a koe, me ngā mea mō te whawhai, he hāriata anō ō rātou, he kāta, he whakaminenga iwi; rite rawa i a rātou te puapua, te whakangungu rākau, te pōtae, hei whawhai ki a koe i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha. Ka tukua anō e ahau te whakawā ki tō rātou aroaro, ā, ka rite ki ā rātou whakaritenga tā rātou whakarite mōu. 25 Ka whakataua anō e ahau tōku hae ki a koe, ā, ka mahi weriweri rātou ki a koe. Ka riro anō tōu ihu i a rātou, me ōu taringa; ka hinga anō hoki ōu mōrehu i te hoari. Ka tangohia atu e rātou āu tama me āu tamāhine; ka pau anō ōu mōrehu i te ahi. 26 Ka huia atu anō e rātou ōu kākahu, ka tangohia anō ōu mea ātaahua. 27 Heoi, ka meinga e ahau tōu hē kia mutu, me tōu moepuku i tīmata mai rā i te whenua o Īhipa; kia kore ai ōu kanohi e ara ki aua mea, kia kore ai anō koe e mahara ki Īhipa ā muri ake nei.
28 “Nō te mea ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Tēnei ahau ka hoatu nei i a koe ki te ringa o te hunga e kinongia nā e koe, ki roto ki te ringa o te hunga kua ngākaukore nā koe ki a rātou. 29 Ka mahi anō rātou i runga i te mauāhara ki a koe, ā, ka riro ōu māuiui katoa i a rātou, mahue iho koe i a rātou kāhore he kākahu, noho tahanga ana. Ka kitea hoki e takoto kau ana ōu moepuku, tōu hē me ōu moepuku. 30 Ka meatia ēnei mea e ahau ki a koe mō tōu whāinga atu ki ngā tauiwi moepuku ai, mōu i poke i ā rātou whakapakoko. 31 I haere koe i te ara o tōu tuakana; nā, ka hoatu e ahau tāna kapu ki tōu ringa.
32 “Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā:
Ka inumia e koe te kapu a tōu tuakana,
aua noa iho ki raro, nui noa atu;
ka ai koe hei whakakatanga, hei taunutanga;
ranea rawa taua kapu.
33 Ka kī koe i te haurangi, i te pōuri,
i te kapu o te ketekete, o te whakangaromanga,
i te kapu a tōu tuakana, a Hamaria.
34 Ka inumia anō rā e koe, tatau rawa,
wāwāhi rawa i ngā maramara,
ka haea anō e koe ōu ū.
Nāku hoki te kōrero, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
35 “Inā, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nā, kua wareware nā koe ki ahau, kua makā anō ahau e koe ki muri i tōu tuarā, nā, pīkaua anō e koe tōu hē me ōu moepuku.”
36 I mea anō a Ihowā ki ahau: “E te tama a te tangata, e whakawā rānei koe i a Ohora rāua ko Ohoripa? Whakakitea ā rāua mea whakarihariha ki a rāua. 37 Nō te mea kua moepuku rāua, he toto kei ō rāua ringa. Kua moepuku anō rāua ki ā rāua whakapakoko; kua meinga e rāua ā rāua tamariki, āku i whānau nei i roto i a rāua kia tika i roto i te ahi, ki aua whakapakoko, pau tonu atu. 38 Ko tēnei anō tā rāua i mea ai ki ahau; i taua rā kotahi, whakapokea iho e rāua tōku wāhi tapu, ko āku hāpati kua noa i a rāua. 39 I tā rāua patunga hoki i ā rāua tamariki hei mea ki ā rāua whakapakoko, haere ana rāua i taua rā anō ki tōku wāhi tapu whakanoa ai. Nā, ko tā rāua tēnā i mea ai i roto i tōku whare.
40 “I unga tāngata anō koutou ki te hunga haere mai i tawhiti, he hunga i ungā atu nei he karere ki a rātou. Nā, kua tae mai rātou; mō rātou tāu horoi i a koe, mea rawa i ōu kanohi ki te pukepoto, whakapaipai rawa i a koe ki ngā whakapaipai. 41 Nā, noho ana koe, he mea korōria te moenga, i tōna taha ko te tēpu rite rawa; i runga ko tāku whakakakara, ko tāku hinu, he mea whakatakoto nāu.
42 “Ā, i taua wahine te ngē o te mano tini e noho mākohakoha ana; ā, i kawea mai i roto i te mano o te tāngata ngā haurangi o te koraha; ā, nā rātou i whakanoho he poroporo ki ō rāua ringa, he karauna ātaahua ki ō rāua māhunga. 43 Kātahi ahau ka mea mō taua wahine kua rūruhi nei e moepuku ana. ‘E moepuku anō rānei rātou ki a ia, me ia anō ki a rātou?’ 44 Heoi, haere ana rātou ki a ia, he pērā i tā rātou haere ki te wahine moepuku; pērā tonu tā rātou haere ki a Ohora, ki a Ohoripa, ki ngā wāhine hē. 45 Nā, ko ngā tāngata tika, mā rātou rāua e whakawā, he whakawā i ngā wāhine moepuku, he whakawā i ngā wāhine whakaheke toto; he wāhine moepuku hoki rāua, he toto kei ō rāua ringa.
46 “Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ka kawea mai e ahau he hui ki a rāua, ā, ka meinga rāua e ahau kia makamaka, kia pāhuatia. 47 Ā, ka ākina rāua e te hui ki te kōhatu, ka tapahia ki ā rātou hoari; ka whakamatea ā rāua tama ā rāua tamāhine, ka tahuna anō ō rāua whare ki te ahi.
48 “Heoi, ka meinga e ahau te pūremu kia mutu i te whenua; kia ako ai ngā wāhine katoa kia kaua ā rātou mahi e rite ki ō kōrua hē. 49 Ka hoatu anō e rātou ngā utu o tō kōrua hē ki a kōrua, ā, ka pīkaua e kōrua ngā hara o ā kōrua whakapakoko; ka mōhio ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowā.”
