Hōhea.
12.
Ko tā Ēparaima kai ko te hau, e whāia ana ia te hau marangai; i ngā rā katoa e whakanuia ana e ia te teka me te whakangaro; e whakarite kawenata ana rātou ki te Ahiriana, ā, e kawea ana he hinu ki Īhipa. 
Nā, he whakawā tā Ihowā ki a Hūrā, ka utaina anō e ia ki runga ki a Hākopa ngā mea rite ki ōna ara; ka rite ki āna mahi tāna utu ki a ia. 
I roto i te kōpū i hopukia e ia tōna tuakana ki te rekereke; ā, i a ia ka tangata i kaha ia ki te Atua. 
Āe rā, i kaha ia ki te anahera, ā, taea ana e ia; i tangi ia, i īnoi ki a ia. I tūtaki ia ki a ia ki Pētēre; ā, kōrero ana ia ki a tātou i reira. 
Arā a Ihowā, te Atua o ngā mano; ko Ihowā tōna maharatanga. 
Nā reira tahuri koe ki tōu Atua; puritia te mahi tohu me te tika, tatari tonu ki tōu Atua. 
He kaihokohoko ia, kei tōna ringa ngā pāuna tinihanga; e aroha ana ia ki te tūkino. 
I mea anō a Ēparaima, “He pono kua whai taonga ahau, kua kitea e ahau he rawa mōku. I āku mahi katoa e kore e kitea e rātou he kino, arā he hara ki ahau.” 
“Nā, ko Ihowā ahau, ko tōu Atua, nō te whenua o Īhipa mai rā anō; tēnei ake ka meinga anō koe e ahau kia noho tēneti; kia pērā me tō ngā rā o te hākari nui. 
Kua kōrero anō ahau ki ngā poropiti, ā, kua whakamahangia e ahau ngā whakakitenga; nā te mahi minita a ngā poropiti i kōrero ai ahau i ngā kupu whakarite.” 
Ko te hara rānei a Kireara? Inā, he mea teka kau rātou; e patu kau ana rātou ki Kirikara hei whakahere. Āe rā, he rite ā rātou āta ki ngā pūranga i ngā moa o ngā māra. 
I rere anō a Hākopa ki te māra a Arame, ā, mahi ana a Īharaira hei utu wahine; hei utu wahine i tiaki hipi ai ia. 
I kawea mai anō e Ihowā, arā e te poropiti, a Īharaira i Īhipa, nā te poropiti anō ia i ora ai. 
I whakapātaritari a Ēparaima ki a ia, kawa rawa; mō reira ka waiho e ia tōna toto i runga i a ia, ka meinga anō tōna ingoa kino e tōna Ariki kia hoki atu ki a ia.
