1Ā, nō te hokinga o Haora i te whai i ngā Pirihitini, nā, ka kōrerotia te kōrero ki a ia, “Nanā, kei te koraha o Enekeri a Rāwiri.”

2Kātahi ka tākiritia e Haora ētahi tāngata, e toru mano, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Īharaira katoa, ā, haere ana ki te rapu i a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata ki ngā kāmaka o ngā koati mohoao.

3Ā, ka tae ki ngā taiepa hipi i te ara, he ana hoki kei reira, ā, ka haere atu a Haora ki te uhi i ōna waewae, heoi i ngā wāhi i roto rawa o te ana a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata e noho ana.

4Nā, ka mea ngā tāngata a Rāwiri ki a ia, “Nā, ko te rā tēnei i mea ai a Ihowā ki a koe, ‘Nanā, ka hoatu e ahau tōu hoariri ki tōu ringa, ā, ka meatia e koe ki a ia tā tōu hinengaro e pai ai.’ ” Kātahi ka whakatika a Rāwiri, ā, tapahia pukutia ana e ia te pito o te koroka o Haora.

5Ā muri iho, ka whakawiri te ngākau o Rāwiri i roto i a ia, mōna i tapahi i te pito o te koroka o Haora.

6Nā, ka mea ia ki āna tāngata, “Mā Ihowā ahau e ārai kei meatia tēnei mea ki tōku ariki, ki tā Ihowā i whakawahi ai, kia totoro atu tōku ringa ki a ia, ko tā Ihowā hoki ia i whakawahi ai.”

7Ko ngā kupu ēnei a Rāwiri i haukotia ai e ia āna tāngata, ā, kīhai i tukua kia whakatika ki a Haora. Nā, whakatika ana a Haora i roto i te ana, ā, haere ana i tōna ara.

8Ka whakatika a Rāwiri i muri, ā, puta ana anō i te ana, ka karanga i muri i a Haora, ka mea, “E tōku ariki, e te kīngi.” Ā, i te tirohanga o Haora ki muri i a ia, ka tuohu te mata o Rāwiri, ā, piko ana ki te whenua.

9Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Haora, “He aha koe i whakarongo ai ki ngā kupu a te tangata ina mea, ‘Kei te rapu a Rāwiri i te hē mōu’?

10Nā, kua kite nei ōu kanohi i tēnei rā i tā Ihowā hōmaitanga i a koe ināianei ki tōku ringa i roto i te ana; ā, i kī mai ētahi kia patua koe; otiia i tohu tōku kanohi i a koe; i mea hoki ahau, ‘E kore tōku ringa e totoro ki tōku ariki; ko tā Ihowā ia i whakawahi ai.’

11Titiro mai anō hoki, e tōku pāpā, āe rā, tirohia mai te pito o tōu koroka i tōku ringa nei; tā te mea i ahau nei i tapahi ai i te pito o tōu koroka, ā, kīhai i patu i a koe. Nā, ka mōhio koe, ka kite, kāhore he kino, he tutū rānei i tōku ringa; kāhore anō ōku hara ki a koe; heoi e whāia nei ahau e koe kia whakamatea.

12“Mā Ihowā e whakarite tā tāua whakawā, mā Ihowā anō e rapu he utu mōku i a koe; ko tōku ringa ia e kore e pā ki a koe.

13E kī nei hoki te whakatauki onamata, ‘Nō te hunga kino mai te kino’; nā, e kore tōku ringa e pā ki a koe.

14“He whai i a wai i puta mai ai te kīngi o Īharaira? Ko wai tēnei te arumia nei e koe? He kurī mate, he puruhi.

15Mā Ihowā e whakarongo, e whakarite tā tāua whakawā, māna e titiro mai, e tohe tāku tohe, e whakaora hoki ahau i roto i tōu ringa.”

16Ā, i te mutunga o tā Rāwiri kōrero i ēnei kupu ki a Haora, ka mea a Haora, “Ko tōu reo tēnā, e tāku tama, e Rāwiri?” Nā, ka puaki nui te reo o Haora ka tangi.

17Nā, ka mea ia ki a Rāwiri, “Tika rawa koe i ahau; he pai hoki tāu utu ki ahau, ko tāku utu ia ki a koe he kino.

18Kua whakakitea mai nei hoki e koe ināianei te pai o tāu mahi ki ahau; i tā Ihowā tukunga putanga hoki i ahau ki tōu ringa, nā, kīhai koe i patu i ahau.

19Ki te tūpono hoki te tangata ki tōna hoariri, tērā rānei ia e tukua paitia atu e ia kia haere? Nā, mā Ihowā e hōmai te pai ki a koe hei utu mō tāu mahi ki ahau i tēnei rā.

20“Nā, e mōhio ana tēnei ahau ko koe pū anō hei kīngi, ā, ka pūmau ki tōu ringa te kīngitanga o Īharaira.

21Nā, oatitia mai a Ihowā ki ahau e kore e hautopea atu e koe ōku uri i muri i ahau, e kore anō hoki e hunā e koe tōku ingoa i roto i te whare o tōku pāpā.”

22Nā, oati ana a Rāwiri ki a Haora, ā, haere ana a Haora ki tōna whare; ko Rāwiri ia rātou ko āna tāngata i haere ki te pourewa.
