1Nā, ka karakia a Hana, ka mea, “E whakamanamana ana tōku ngākau ki a Ihowā; kua ara tōku haona i a Ihowā. Ka rahi tōku waha ki ōku hoariri, nōku ka koa ki tāu whakaoranga.

2“Kāhore he mea tapu, ko Ihowā anake; kāhore kē atu, ko koe anake; kāhore anō hoki he kāmaka hei rite mō tō tātou Atua.

3“Kāti te whakanui i te kōrero whakahīhī; kei puta te whakapehapeha i ō koutou māngai; he Atua mōhio hoki a Ihowā, ā, ka pāunatia e ia ngā mahi.

4“Whati ana ngā kōpere a te hunga mārohirohi, ā, ko te hunga i tūtuki te waewae, ko te kaha hei whītiki mō rātou.

5E mahi ana hei utu taro te hunga i mākona i mua, ā, mutu ake tā te hunga i matekai. Heoi, kua tokowhitu a te pākoko i whānau ai; ā, iwikore noa iho te mea kua tokomaha nei āna tamariki.

6“Ko Ihowā e whakamate ana, ā, ko ia e whakaora ana; māna e riro ai ki raro ki te rēinga, māna e kake ai ki runga.

7Ko Ihowā hei whakarawakore, ko ia hei whakawhiwhi ki te taonga; māna e whakaiti, māna anō hoki e whakaara.

8Whakaarahia ana e ia te iti i roto i te puehu; ara ana i a ia te rawakore i roto i te pūranga paru, ā, whakanohoia iho ki roto ki ngā rangatira, meinga ana kia whiwhi ki te torōna korōria. “Nō Ihowā rā hoki ngā pou tūranga o te whenua; ā, whakanohoia iho e ia te ao ki runga.

9Māna ngā waewae o tāna hunga tapu e tiaki; ko te hunga kino ia ka whakanohoia ki roto ki te pōuri wahangū ai; ehara hoki te kaha i te mea e riro ai te pāpā i te tangata.

10“Mongamonga noa ngā hoariri o Ihowā; ka papā mai tāna whatitiri i te rangi ki a rātou. Ka whakarite whakawā a Ihowā mō ngā pito o te whenua; māna e hōmai he kaha ki tāna kīngi, e whakaara te haona o tāna i whakawahi ai.”

11Nā, ka haere a Erekana ki Rama ki tōna whare, ā, minita ana taua tamaiti ki a Ihowā i te aroaro o te tohunga, o Eri.

12Nā, he tama nā Periara ngā tama a Eri; kīhai rātou i mōhio ki a Ihowā.

13Nā, ko te tikanga tēnei a ngā tohunga i roto i te iwi; i te patunga a tētahi i te whakahere, ka haere te tangata a te tohunga, i te mea kei te kōhua anō ngā kiko, me te mārau e toru nei ngā koikoi i tōna ringa.

14Nā, ka werohia e ia ki te peihana, ki te pāta rānei, ki te hōpane rānei, ki te kōhua rānei; ko ngā mea katoa i riro ake i te mārau, i tangohia e te tohunga ki taua mea. Pēnā tonu tā rātou mahi i Hiro ki ngā Īharaira katoa i haere ki reira.

15Āe rā, i te mea anō hoki kāhore i tahuna noatia ngā ngako, ka haere te tangata a te tohunga, ka mea ki te tangata nāna te whakahere, “Hōmai tētahi wāhi kiko kia tunua mā te tohunga; e kore hoki ia e tango i āu kiko, i te mea kōhua, engari i te mea mata.”

16Ā, ki te kī mai te tangata ki a ia, “Āianei pū tahuna ai e rātou te ngako, ā, hei reira koe tango ai i tā tōu ngākau i pai ai.” Kātahi tērā ka mea atu, “Kāhore; engari me hōmai e koe āianei; ā, ki te kāhore, ka tangohia māoritia e ahau.”

17Nā, nui atu te hara o aua taitama i te aroaro o Ihowā; nō te mea i whakarihariha ngā tāngata ki te whakahere a Ihowā.

18Ko Hamuera ia i minita ki te aroaro o Ihowā, he tamariki nei ia, whītiki rawa tōna epora rīnena.

19I hangā anō he koroka iti e tōna whaea mōna, ā, kawea ana ki a ia i tēnei tau, i tēnei tau, i ō rāua haerenga ko tāna tahu ki te patu i te whakahere o te tau.

20Nā, ka whakapai a Eri i a Erekana rāua ko tāna wahine, ka mea, “Mā Ihowā e hōmai he uri ki a koe i roto i tēnei wahine mō tēnei ka tukua nei ki a Ihowā.” Nā, hoki ana rāua ki tō rāua wāhi.

21Nā, ka titiro a Ihowā ki a Hana, ā, ka hapū anō ia, ka whānau, tokotoru ngā tama, tokorua ngā kōtiro. Ā, tupu ana te tamaiti, a Hamuera, i te aroaro o Ihowā.

22Nā, kua koroheke rawa a Eri. Kua rongo hoki ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai āna tama ki a Īharaira katoa, ki tō rāua takotoranga hoki ki ngā wāhine i mahi ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga.

23Nā, ka mea ia ki a rāua, “He aha kōrua i mahi ai i ēnei mea? Kua rongo hoki ahau ki tēnei iwi katoa ki ā kōrua mahi kino.

24Kāti rā, e āku tama; ehara hoki i te pai te kōrero e rangona nei e ahau; e mea ana kōrua i te iwi o Ihowā kia poka kē.

25Ki te hara he tangata ki tōna hoa, mā te Atua te whakawā mōna; tēnā ko tēnei, ka hara te tangata ki a Ihowā, ko wai hei kaiwawao mōna?” Heoi, kīhai rāua i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o tō rāua pāpā, nō te mea i pai a Ihowā kia whakamatea rāua.

26Ā, nui haere ana anō taua tamaiti, a Hamuera, e paingia ana e Ihowā, e ngā tāngata.

27Nā, ka haere mai tētahi tangata a te Atua ki a Eri, ka mea ki a ia, “Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, ‘Kāhore ianei ahau i puta mārama ki te whare o tōu pāpā, i a rātou i Īhipa, i pononga ai i te whare o Parao?

28Kāhore rānei ahau i whiriwhiri i a ia i roto i ngā iwi katoa o Īharaira hei tohunga mōku, hei whakaeke whakahere ki runga ki tāku āta, hei tahu whakakakara, hei kākahu i te epora ki tōku aroaro? Ā, hoatu ana ki te whare o tōu pāpā ngā whakahere ahi katoa a ngā tamariki a Īharaira?

29Ā, he aha koutou i takahi ai i ōku patunga tapu, i ōku whakahere, i kīia e ahau mō tōku nohoanga; i a koe ka whakahōnore nei i āu tama ki runga ake i ahau, ā, ka tetere nei koutou i ngā mea papai o ngā whakahere katoa a Īharaira, a tāku iwi?’

30“Nā reira tēnei kupu a Ihowā, a te Atua o Īharaira: ‘He tika i mea ahau, ko tōu whare me te whare o tōu matua ka haere i tōku aroaro ā ake ake.’ Nā, ko tā Ihowā kupu tēnei ināianei: ‘Kāhore rā hoki; ka whakahōnore hoki ahau i te hunga e whakahōnore ana i ahau, ka whakaiti anō i te hunga e whakahāwea ana ki ahau.

31Nanā, meāke puta ngā rā e tapahia ai e ahau tōu ringa, me te ringa o te whare o tōu pāpā, ā, kore iho tētahi koroheke i roto i tōu whare.

32Ā, ka kite koe i te tūkinotanga i tōku nohoanga, i ngā pai katoa e hoatu e te Atua ki a Īharaira; e kore anō tōu whare e whai koroheke ā ake ake.

33Nā, ko te tangata āu e kore e hautopea atu i tāku āta, ka ai ia hei whakapaunga mō ōu kanohi, hei whakamamae mō tōu ngākau; whakakaumātua kau hoki ngā whānau hou o tōu whare, ka mate i tō rātou taiohinga.

34“ ‘Ko te tohu hoki tēnei ki a koe, ka puta ki āu tama tokorua, ki a Hōponi rāua ko Pinehaha, kotahi anō te rā e mate ai rāua tokorua.

35Ā, ka whakaarahia ake e ahau he tohunga pono māku, hei mahi i tā tōku ngākau, i tā tōku hinengaro i pai ai, māku anō e hanga he whare pūmau mōna; ā, ka hāereere ia i ngā rā katoa i te aroaro o tāku e whakawahi ai.

36Ā, ko te hunga katoa e mahue iho ki tōu whare, ka haere mai, ka piko iho ki a ia mō tētahi pīhi hiriwa, mō tētahi wāhi taro, ka mea, “Tēnā koe, kia uru atu ahau ki tētahi o ngā mahi tohunga, kia kai ai ahau i tētahi kongakonga taro.” ’ ”
