1Huihui, āe rā, huihui i a koutou, e iwi kāhore nei he whakamā;

2i te mea kīanō te ture i whai hua, ā, kīanō i pahemo te rā ānō he pāpapa, i te mea kīanō i tae iho ki a koutou te mura o tō Ihowā riri, i te mea kīanō i tae iho ki a koutou te rā o tō Ihowā riri.

3Rapua a Ihowā, e te hunga māhaki katoa o te whenua, e te hunga e mahi ana i tāna i whakarite ai; rapua te tika, rapua te tikanga māhaki; me kāhore koutou e piri i te rā o tō Ihowā riri.

4Nō te mea tērā a Kaha ka mahue, ka ururuatia a Ahakerono; ka peia atu a Aharoro i te poutūmārōtanga, ka hūtia atu hoki a Ekerono.

5Auē te mate mō ngā tāngata i ngā tahatika o te moana, mō te iwi o ngā Kereti! Kua kōrero a Ihowā i te hē mōu, e Kanaana, e te whenua o ngā Pirihitini; ka ngaro koe i ahau, kāhore he tangata hei noho.

6Ā, ka waiho te tahatika o te moana hei haerenga hipi, me ngā whare mō ngā hēpara, me ngā taiepa mō ngā hipi.

7Ka waiho anō te tahatika mō ngā toenga o te whare o Hūrā, ka whāngaia e rātou ā rātou hipi ki reira. Ka takoto i te ahiahi i roto i ngā whare o Ahakerono; nō te mea ka tirotirohia rātou e Ihowā, e tō rātou Atua, ā, ka whakahokia mai e ia i te whakarau.

8“Kua rongo ahau i tā Moapa tāwai, i ngā taunu a ngā tama a Āmona, i tā rātou tāwai ki tāku iwi, i tā rātou whakatete mō tō rātou rohe kia nui.

9Mō reira e ora ana ahau,” e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, tā te Atua o Īharaira, “he pono ka rite a Moapa ki Horoma, ngā tama a Āmona ki Komora, hei tupuranga ongaonga, hei rua tote, hei ururua, ā ake ake. Mā ngā toenga o tāku iwi rātou e pāhua, hei kāinga tupu rātou mō ngā mōrehu o āku tāngata.”

10Hei utu tēnei ki a rātou mō tō rātou whakapehapeha, mō tā rātou tāwai, mō tā rātou whakakake ki te iwi o Ihowā o ngā mano.

11Nā, ka wehingia a Ihowā e rātou, nō te mea ka hīroki i a ia ngā atua katoa o te whenua; ā, ka koropiko ngā tāngata katoa ki a ia i tōna wāhi, i tōna wāhi, arā ngā motu katoa o ngā tauiwi.

12“Ko koutou anō, e ngā Etiopiana, ka werohia koutou ki tāku hoari.”

13Ka totoro anō tōna ringa ki te raki, ā, ka ngaro a Ahiria i a ia; ā, ka meinga a Ninewe hei ururua, ka maroke, ka pērā i te koraha.

14Ā, ka tāpapa ngā kāhui ki waenganui ōna, ngā kīrehe katoa o ngā tauiwi. Ka noho te kawau rāua ko te matuku ki ōna puku whakapaipai; ka puaki tō rāua reo i ngā matapihi; ka ururuatia ngā kūwaha; nō te mea ka tū tahanga ngā mea hīta i a ia.

15Ko te pā whakamanamana tēnei i noho wehikore nei, i mea nei i roto i tōna ngākau, “Ko ahau tēnei, kāhore atu hoki, ko ahau anake.” Anō tōna ururuatanga, he tāpapatanga kīrehe! Ko te hunga katoa e tika ana nā reira ka hī atu, ka tawhi i tōna ringa.
