Ko Heremaia me te Poropiti Hanania
1 I taua tau, i te tīmatanga o te kīngitanga o Terekia kīngi o Hūrā, i te whā o ngā tau, i te rima o ngā marama, ka kōrero a Hanania poropiti tama a Āturu, he tangata nō Kipeono, ki ahau i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i te aroaro o ngā tohunga rātou ko te iwi katoa, i mea ia, 2 “Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira, e kī ana ia: ‘Kua whati i ahau te ioka a te kīngi o Papurōna. 3 E kore e tutuki rawa ngā tau e rua, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tēnei wāhi ngā oko katoa o te whare o Ihowā i maua atu e Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna i tēnei wāhi, i kawea atu e ia ki Papurōna, 4 ā, ka whakahokia mai e ahau ki tēnei wāhi a Hekonia tama a Iehoiakimi kīngi o Hūrā, rātou ko ngā whakarau katoa o Hūrā i haere nei ki Papurōna,’ e ai tā Ihowā, ‘nō te mea ka whati i ahau te ioka a te kīngi o Papurōna.’ ”
5 Kātahi ka mea atu a Heremaia poropiti ki a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o ngā tohunga, i te aroaro anō o te iwi katoa e tū ana i te whare o Ihowā, 6 i mea taua Heremaia poropiti, “Āmine! Kia pēnā mai anō a Ihowā. Kia mahia hoki e Ihowā āu kupu i poropititia nā e koe mō ngā oko o te whare o Ihowā, mō ngā whakarau katoa hoki, ka whakahokia mai i Papurōna ki tēnei wāhi. 7 Otiia kia rongo mai koe ināianei ki tēnei kupu e kōrerotia nei e ahau ki ōu taringa, ki ngā taringa anō o te iwi katoa. 8 Ko ngā poropiti i mua atu i ahau, i mua atu hoki i a koe, i mua noa atu, i poropititia e rātou he hē mō ngā whenua maha, mō ngā kīngitanga nunui, he whawhai, he kino, he mate urutā. 9 Ko te poropiti e poropiti ana i te rongo mau, ki te tutuki te kupu a te poropiti, hei reira ka mōhiotia taua poropiti, he pono nā Ihowā ia i unga mai.”
10 Kātahi ka mau a Hanania poropiti ki te ioka i te kakī o Heremaia poropiti, wāhia ana e ia. 11 Ā, ka kōrero a Hanania poropiti i te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ka mea, “Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: ‘Ka pēneitia e ahau te wāhi atu i te ioka a Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna i roto i ngā rā o ngā tau e rua i te kakī o ngā iwi katoa.’ ” Nā, haere ana a Heremaia poropiti i tōna ara.
12 Kātahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a Heremaia i muri i te wawāhanga a Hanania poropiti i te ioka i te kakī o Heremaia poropiti, ā, ka mea ia: 13 “Haere, kōrero ki a Hanania, mea atu, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: Kua wāhia e koe ngā ioka rākau; otirā me hanga e koe ētahi ioka rino hei whakakapi mō ēnā. 14 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira: Kua whakanohoia e ahau he ioka rino ki te kakī o ēnei iwi katoa, kia mahi ai rātou ki a Nepukaneha kīngi o Papurōna; inā, ka mahi rātou ki a ia. Kua hoatu anō e ahau ngā kīrehe o te pārae ki a ia.’ ”
15 Kātahi ka mea te poropiti, a Heremaia, ki te poropiti, ki a Hanania, “Whakarongo mai, e Hanania; ehara koe i a Ihowā i unga; kua mea ia koe i tēnei iwi kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka. 16 Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: ‘Nanā, ka peia atu koe e ahau i te mata o te oneone. I tēnei tau anō ka mate koe, nō te mea kua kōrero koe i te tutū ki a Ihowā.’ ”
17 Nā, i taua tau anō ka mate a Hanania i te whitu o ngā marama.
