Ka Huakore te Haumi ki Īhipa
1 Auē te mate mō te hunga e haere ana ki raro,
ki Īhipa ki te tiki whakauru,
e okioki ana ki te hōiho;
e whakawhirinaki ana ki te hāriata,
nō te mea he maha,
ki te kaieke hōiho anō,
nō te mea he nui te kaha;
kāhore ia e titiro ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira,
kāhore hoki e rapu tikanga ki a Ihowā!
2 Otiia he whakaaro nui anō ia,
ka tākina mai anō te kino e ia,
e kore anō āna kupu e unuhia e ia;
engari ka whakatika ia ki te whare o ngā kaimahi i te kino,
ki ngā whakauru o ngā kaimahi i te hē.
3 Nā, he tangata nei ngā Īhipiana, ehara hoki i te Atua;
he kikokiko anō hoki ō rātou hōiho, ehara i te wairua.
Te whakamārōkanga mai o tō Ihowā ringa,
ka hinga te kaiāwhina,
taka tonu atu te tangata e āwhinatia ana,
ā, ka hē ngātahi rātou.
4 Ko tā Ihowā kupu hoki tēnei ki ahau:
“Ka rite ki te raiona,
ki te kūao raiona e hāmama ana ki tāna tūpāpaku,
i te mea ka kārangarangatia
ngā hēpara tokomaha ki a ia,
kāhore ōna wehi ki tō rātou reo,
e kore anō ia e whakaririka ki tō rātou ngangau;
ka pērā anō te haerenga iho o Ihowā o ngā mano
ki te whawhai ki runga ki Maunga Hiona
me tō reira pukepuke.
5 Ka rite ki ngā manu e rere ana tā Ihowā o ngā mano
tiaki i Hiruhārama,
ka tiakina, ka whakaorangia,
ka tika atu ia nā runga, ka araaraia e ia.”
6 Tahuri ki a ia, kua hōhonu rawa nei tā koutou tutū ki a ia, e ngā tama a Īharaira. 7 Ā taua rā hoki ka whakahāwea te tangata ki āna whakapakoko hiriwa, ki āna whakapakoko kōura, i hangā e ō koutou ringa mā koutou hei hara.
8 “Hei reira te Ahiriana ka hinga i te hoari, ehara nā te tangata;
ā, ka pau ia i te hoari, ehara i te tangata;
ā, ka rere atu ia i te hoari,
ka meinga hoki āna taitamariki kia utu takoha.
9 Ā, ka memeha tōna kāmaka, he wehi hoki,
ā, ka mataku ōna rangatira i te kara,”
e ai tā Ihowā,
kei Maunga Hiona nei tāna ahi,
kei Hiruhārama tāna oumu.
