Heremaia.
30.
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia, he mea nā Ihowā, i mea ia: 
“Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira, e mea ana: Tuhituhia ki te pukapuka ngā kupu katoa i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koe. 
Tēnei ake hoki ngā rā,” e ai tā Ihowā, “e whakahokia mai ai e ahau tāku iwi, a Īharaira rāua ko Hūrā, i te whakarau,” e ai tā Ihowā; “ā, ka whakahokia mai rātou e ahau ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki ō rātou mātua, ā, ka riro a reira i a rātou.” 
Ā, ko ngā kupu ēnei i kōrerotia e Ihowā mō Īharaira rāua ko Hūrā: 
Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā: “Kua rongo tātou i te reo o te tūiri, o te wehi, ehara i te rongo mau. 
Tēnā rā, ui atu, kia kite ai koutou? He whānau tamariki rānei tā te tāne? He aha ahau i kite ai i ngā tāngata katoa ko ō rātou ringa kei ō rātou hope, koia anō kei te wahine e whānau ana, kua puta kē anō ngā kanohi katoa, kua kōmā? 
Auē! He rā nui hoki taua rā, kāhore he rite mōna. Ko te wā hoki ia o tō Hākopa mamae; otiia ka whakaorangia ia i taua mamae. 
“Nā, i taua rā,” e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, “ka wāhia e ahau tāna ioka i tōu kakī, ka motuhia hoki ōu here; e kore hoki ia e whakamahia e ngā tāngata kē i muri iho. 
Engari, ka mahi rātou ki a Ihowā, ki tō rātou Atua, ki a Rāwiri hoki, ki tō rātou kīngi e whakaarahia ake e ahau mō rātou. 
“Nā reira kaua e wehi, e tāku pononga, e Hākopa,” e ai tā Ihowā, “kaua hoki e pāwera, e Īharaira. Nanā, ka whakaora hoki ahau i a koe i tawhiti, i ōu uri anō i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai rātou; ā, ka hoki mai a Hākopa, ka āta noho, ka whai tānga manawa, tē ai he kaiwhakawehi mōna. 
Nō te mea hei hoa ahau mōu,” e ai tā Ihowā, “hei whakaora i a koe; ka poto rawa hoki i ahau ngā iwi katoa kua whakamararatia atu nā koe ki reira, otiia e kore koe e poto rawa i ahau; engari ka pākia koe e ahau, he mea whakarite mārie atu, e kore anō hoki koe e tukua kia kāhore rawa e whiua.” 
Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā: “Ko tōu pakaru e kore e mahu, he mamae rawa tōu marūtanga. 
Kāhore he tangata hei tohe i tāu, kia takaia ai koe; kāhore ōu rongoā whakamahu. 
Ko te hunga katoa i aroha ki a koe kua wareware ki a koe; kāhore rātou e rapu i a koe; nō te mea i patua koe e ahau ki te patu a te hoariri, ki te whiu hoki a te tangata nanakia; he nui hoki nō tōu kino, he maha nō ōu hara. 
He aha koe i tangi ai ki tōu pakaru? E kore tōu mamae e taea te rongoā. Mō te nui hoki o tōu kino, he maha nō ōu hara, i meinga ai e ahau ēnei mea ki a koe. 
“Nā reira ko te hunga katoa e kai ana i a koe, ka kainga rātou; ko ōu hoariri katoa, ko rātou katoa, ka riro ki te whakarau; ko te hunga e pāhua ana i a koe ka pāhuatia rātou, ā, ka tukua e ahau hei taonga pārau te hunga katoa e muru ana i a koe. 
Ka whakahokia atu hoki e ahau te ora ki a koe, ka rongoātia e ahau ōu marūtanga,” e ai tā Ihowā; “nō te mea kua kīia koe e rātou, he peinga, kua mea: ‘Ko Hiona tēnei e kore nei e rapua e te tangata.’ ” 
Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: “Nanā, ka whakahokia mai e ahau i te whakarau ngā tēneti o Hākopa, ka aroha ki ōna nohoanga; ā, ka hangā te pā ki runga ki tōna pūranga anō, ka whakapūmautia anō ngā tikanga o te whare kīngi. 
Ka puta mai anō i reira te whakamoemiti, me te reo o te hunga e kata ana: ā, ka whakanuia rātou e ahau, e kore rātou e torutoru; ka whakakorōriatia hoki rātou e ahau, ā, e kore rātou e iti. 
Ā, ka rite ā rātou tamariki ki ō mua; ka whakapūmautia hoki tō rātou whakaminenga ki tōku aroaro, ā, ka whiua e ahau te hunga katoa e tūkino ana i a rātou. 
Ā, ko tō rātou metararahi ko tētahi anō o rātou, ka puta ake hoki tō rātou kāwana i roto i a rātou; ā, ka meinga ia e ahau kia whakatata mai, ā, ka haere mai ia ki ahau; ko wai oti tēnei kua toa nei ki te haere mai ki ahau?” 
“Ā, hei iwi koutou māku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mō koutou.” 
Nanā, ko te tūkauati a Ihowā, arā ko tōna riri mura tonu, te paoho atu nā, he tūkauati e tahi ana: tērā e āki ki runga ki te māhunga o te hunga kino. 
E kore e tahuri atu te riri kino o Ihowā, kia oti rā anō i a ia, kia whakapūmautia rā anō e ia ngā whakaaro o tōna ngākau. I ngā rā whakamutunga ka mātau koutou.
