Ehekiera.
11.
I hāpainga ake anō ahau e te wairua, ā, kawea ana e ia ki te kēti ki te rāwhiti o te whare o Ihowā, ki tērā e anga rā ki te rāwhiti. Nā, i te kūwaha o te kēti e rua tekau mā rima ngā tāngata; ā, i kite ahau i roto i a rātou i a Iaatania tama a Āturu rāua ko Peratia tama a Penaia, he rangatira nō te iwi. 
Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “E te tama a te tangata, ko ngā tāngata ēnei e whakaaro ana i te kino, e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga hē i roto i tēnei pā. 
E kī ana, ‘Kāhore anō i tata te wā e hanga whare ai. Ko tēnei pā te kōhua, ko tātou te kikokiko.’ 
Mō reira poropititia te hē mō rātou; poropititia, e te tama a te tangata.” 
Nā, ka tau te Wairua o Ihowā ki ahau, ā, ka mea ki ahau, kī atu: “Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: Ko tā koutou kōrero tēnei, e te whare o Īharaira. Nā, ko ngā mea e puta ake ana i ō koutou wairua, mōhio tonu ahau. 
Kua whakatokomahatia e koutou ā koutou tūpāpaku ki tēnei pā, kua whakakīia anō e koutou ōna huarahi ki te tūpāpaku. 
“Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ko ā koutou tūpāpaku kua hinga nei i a koutou ki waenganui o tēnei pā, ko rātou te kikokiko, ko tēnei pā te kōhua. Ko koutou ia ka whakaputaina atu i waenganui o konei. 
I wehi koutou i te hoari; ka kawea mai anō e ahau te hoari ki a koutou, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 
Ka whakaputaina atu anō koutou e ahau i waenganui o konei, ka hoatu ki te ringa o te tangata kē, ka mahia anō e ahau he whakawā i waenganui i a koutou. 
Ka hinga koutou i te hoari; ka whakawākia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Īharaira, ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau. 
E kore tēnei pā e waiho hei kōhua mō koutou, e kore anō hoki koutou e waiho hei kikokiko mō roto; ka whakawākia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Īharaira. 
Ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau; kīhai hoki koutou i haere i runga i āku tikanga, ā, kīhai i mahia e koutou āku whakaritenga, engari i rite tonu ā koutou mahi ki ngā ritenga a ngā iwi i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha o koutou.” 
Nā, i ahau e poropiti ana, ka mate a Peratia tama a Penaia. Kātahi ahau ka tāpapa ki raro, he nui tōku reo ki te karanga, i mea ahau, “Auē, e te Ariki, e Ihowā! Ka poto rawa rānei i a koe ngā mōrehu o Īharaira?” 
I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea ia, 
“E te tama a te tangata, ko ōu tuākana, ko ōu tēina, ko ōu whanaunga, ko te whare katoa anō o Īharaira, rūpeke, rūpeke, ko rātou ēnei, kua kī mai nei ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama ki a rātou, ‘Kia matara atu i a Ihowā; kua hōmai tēnei whenua ki a mātou hei kāinga tupu.’ 
“Mō reira me kī atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ahakoa i makā atu rātou e ahau ki tawhiti, ki roto ki ngā iwi, ahakoa i whakamararatia rātou e ahau ki ngā whenua, ka ai anō ia ahau hei wāhi tapu mō rātou i ngā whenua e tae ai rātou mō te wā nohinohi nei. 
“Mō reira me kī atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i ngā iwi, ka huihuia anō i ngā whenua i whakamararatia ai koutou, ka hoatu anō e ahau te oneone o Īharaira ki a koutou. 
“Ka tae anō rātou ki reira, ka whakakāhoretia anō e rātou ngā mea whakarihariha katoa o reira, me ngā mea anuanu o reira. 
Ka hoatu anō e ahau he ngākau kotahi ki a rātou, ka hoatu anō he wairua hou ki a koutou; ka tangohia anō e ahau te ngākau kōhatu i ō rātou kikokiko, ā, ka hoatu he ngākau kikokiko ki a rātou. 
Kia haere ai rātou i runga i āku tikanga, kia puritia ai āku whakaritenga, mahia iho; ā, waiho tonu iho rātou hei iwi māku, ko ahau anō hei Atua mō rātou. 
Ko te hunga ia kei te whai nei ō rātou ngākau i te ngākau o ā rātou mea whakarihariha, o ā rātou mea anuanu, ka utua e ahau ō rātou ara ki runga ki ō rātou māhunga, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.” 
Kātahi ka ara ngā parirau o ngā kerupima, ā, ko ngā wīra i tō rātou taha; i runga anō hoki te korōria o te Atua o Īharaira i a rātou, i te taha ki runga. 
Nā, ka kake te korōria o Ihowā i roto i te pā, tū rawa ki runga ki te maunga ki te taha ki te rāwhiti o te pā. 
Muri iho ka hāpainga ahau e te Wairua, he mea i roto i te whakakitenga, nā te Wairua o te Atua, ki Karari, ki ngā whakarau. Heoi, ka kake atu i ahau te kitenga i kitea e ahau. 
Nā, kōrerotia ana e ahau ki ngā whakarau ngā mea katoa i whakakitea ki ahau e Ihowā.
