1Nā, ko ngā iwi ēnei i waiho e Ihowā ko rātou hei whakamātautau i a Īharaira, arā ko ngā mea o Īharaira kīhai i mōhio ki ngā pakanga katoa o Kanaana

2(mō ngā whakatupuranga anō ia o ngā tamariki a Īharaira kia mōhio, kia ako ki te whawhai, arā mō te hunga kīhai i mōhio ki tērā i mua):

3nā, ko ngā rangatira tokorima o ngā Pirihitini, ko ngā Kanaani katoa, ko ngā Haironi rātou ko ngā Hiwi i noho i Maunga Repanōna, i Maunga Paara-Heremona ā tae noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hāmata.

4Ko rātou hei whakamātautau mō Īharaira, kia mōhiotia ai e rongo rānei rātou ki ngā whakahau a Ihowā i whakahaua e ia ki ō rātou mātua, he mea whakapuaki nā Mohi.

5Nā, ka noho ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki waenganui o ngā Kanaani, o ngā Hiti, o ngā Amori, o ngā Perihi, o ngā Hiwi, o ngā Iepuhi;

6ā, ka tango i ā rātou tamāhine hei wahine mā rātou, ka hoatu hoki i ā rātou tamāhine ki ā rātou tama, ka mahi anō hoki ki ō rātou atua.

7Nā, kua mahi ngā tamariki a Īharaira i te kino i te tirohanga o Ihowā, wareware ake ki a Ihowā, ki tō rātou Atua, mahi ana hoki ki ngā Paara, ki te Ahataroto.

8Nā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a Īharaira, ā, hokona atu ana rātou e ia ki te ringa o Kuhanarihataimi kīngi o Mehopotamia. Nā, e waru ngā tau i mahi ai ngā tama a Īharaira ki a Kuhanarihataimi.

9Ā, nō te tangihanga a ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki a Ihowā, ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowā he kaiwhakaora mō ngā tamariki a Īharaira, nāna rātou i whakaora; arā a Otoniere tama a Kenaha teina o Karepe.

10Nā, i tau iho ki runga i a ia te Wairua o Ihowā, ā, i whakawā ia mō Īharaira; i haere hoki ki te whawhai; ā, hōmai ana e Ihowā ki tōna ringa a Kuhanarihataimi kīngi o Mehopotamia; nā, kua kaha tōna ringa ki te whawhai ki a Kuhanarihataimi.

11Ā, e whā tekau ngā tau i okioki ai te whenua i te whawhai. Nā, ka mate a Otoniere, tama a Kenaha.

12Nā, ka mahi kino anō ngā tama a Īharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowā, ā, ka whakakahangia e Ihowā a Ekerona kīngi o Moapa ki te whawhai ki a Īharaira, mō rātou i mahi kino i te tirohanga a Ihowā.

13Nā, ka huihuia e ia ki a ia ngā tamariki a Āmona rātou ko Amareke, ā, haere ana, patua ana e ia a Īharaira, ā, tangohia ana e ia te pā nīkau.

14Ā, kotahi tekau mā waru ngā tau i mahi ai ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki a Ekerona, kīngi o Moapa.

15Nō te tangihanga ia a ngā tama a Īharaira ki a Ihowā, ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowā he kaiwhakaora mō rātou, a Ehuru tama a Kera, he Pineamini, he tangata ringa mauī. Nā, ka hoatu e ngā tama a Īharaira he takoha kia kawea e ia ki a Ekerona kīngi o Moapa.

16Otiia kua oti i a Ehuru tētahi hoari te hanga māna; e rua ōna mata, kotahi whatīanga te roa; nā, ka whītikiria e ia i roto i ōna kākahu ki tōna hūhā matau.

17Nā, ko tāna tukunga i te takoha ki a Ekerona kīngi o Moapa; nā, he tangata tetere rawa a Ekerona.

18Ā, ka mutu tā tērā tuku i te takoha ka tonoa atu e ia te hunga i mauria mai ai te takoha.

19Ko ia tonu ia i hoki whakamuri atu i ngā whakapakoko i Kirikara, ka mea, “He kupu huna tāku ki a koe, e te kīngi.” Nā, ka mea tērā, “Whakarongoa!” Nā, mawehe atu ana i a ia te hunga katoa e tū ana i tōna taha.

20Nā, ka haere atu a Ehuru ki a ia; ā, e noho ana ia ko ia anake i tōna rūma raumati. Nā, ka mea a Ehuru, “He kupu nā te Atua tāku ki a koe.” Nā, ka whakatika ia i tōna nohoanga.

21Nā, ka torona e Ehuru tōna ringa mauī, ka mau ki te hoari i tōna hūhā matau, werohia ana ki tōna kōpū.

22Ā, ngoto tahi atu ana te kakau me te mata, ā, tūtakina iho te mata e te ngako, kīhai i unuhia mai te hoari i roto i tōna kōpū, ā, puta atu ana ki muri.

23Nā, ka haere atu a Ehuru nā te whakamahau, ā, tūtakina atu ana e ia ngā tatau o te rūma ki a ia, kīia iho hoki.

24Ā, i tōna haerenga atu, ka haere mai ngā pononga a tērā, nā, i tō rātou kitenga kua kīia ngā tatau o te rūma, ka mea rātou, “He pono kei te uhi ia i ōna waewae i te rūma raumati.”

25Tatari noa rātou ā ka whakamā; nā, kīhai ia i whakapuare i ngā tatau o te rūma; kātahi rātou ka mau ki te kī, ā, whakapuaretia ana. Nā, ko tō rātou ariki kua hinga ki te whenua, kua mate.

26Ko Ehuru ia i mawhiti i a rātou e tatari roa ana, ā, kua tae ki tua i ngā whakapakoko, kua mawhiti ki Heirata.

27Ā, nō tōna taenga, ka whakatangihia e ia te tētere ki te whenua maunga o Ēparaima, ā, heke ana ngā tamariki a Īharaira i runga i te maunga hei hoa mōna, ko ia hoki i mua i a rātou.

28Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Haere mai i muri i ahau, kua hōmai hoki e Ihowā ngā Moapi, ō koutou hoariri ki ō koutou ringa.” Nā, heke ana rātou i muri i a ia, ā, ka riro mai i a rātou ngā whitinga atu o Horano i ngā Moapi; kīhai hoki i tukua tētahi tangata kia whiti atu.

29Nā, patua iho e rātou ngā Moapi i taua wā, me te mea tekau mano ngā tāngata, te hunga pakari anake, ngā mārohirohi katoa; kīhai hoki tētahi i mawhiti.

30Nā, ka hinga a Moapa i taua rā i te ringa o Īharaira. Ā, e waru tekau ngā tau i okioki ai te whenua i te pakanga.

31Ā, i muri i a ia ko Hamakara tama a Anata, ā, patua iho e ia ngā Pirihitini, e ono rau tāngata, ki te wero kau. Nā, ka ora anō a Īharaira i a ia.
