Ko te Pukapuka a
Mika
1
1 Ko te kupu a Ihowā i puta mai ki a Mika Morahati i ngā rā o ngā kīngi o Hūrā, arā o Iotama, o Ahata, o Hetekia, ko tāna i kite ai mō Hamaria rāua ko Hiruhārama.
Ka Whakahuatia te Whakawātanga ki a Hamaria
2 Whakarongo e ngā iwi, e koutou katoa;
kia whai taringa mai, e te whenua,
me ngā mea katoa i roto i a koe;
ko te Ariki, ko Ihowā hei whakaatu i tō koutou hē,
ko te Ariki mai i tōna temepara tapu.
3 Nō te mea, nanā, kei te puta mai a Ihowā i tōna wāhi,
ka heke iho ia, ka takahi ki runga ki ngā wāhi tiketike o te whenua.
4 Ā, ka rewa ngā maunga i raro i a ia,
ka ngātata ngā raorao,
ka rite ki te wāki i mua i te ahi,
ki ngā wai i ringihia ki te wāhi paripari.
5 Mō te hē o Hākopa, tēnei katoa,
mō ngā hara o te whare o Īharaira.
He aha te hē o Hākopa?
He teka ianei ko Hamaria?
He aha anō hoki ngā wāhi tiketike o Hūrā?
He teka ianei ko Hiruhārama?
6 “Mō reira ka meinga e ahau a Hamaria kia rite ki te pūranga o te māra,
ki ngā whakatōkanga hoki o te māra wāina;
ka ringihia iho anō e ahau ōna kōhatu ki raro ki te raorao,
ā, ka hurahia e ahau ōna tūranga.
7 Ā, ka wāwāhia āna whakapakoko, mongamonga ana,
ka tahuna hoki ōna utu katoa ki te ahi,
ā, ka takoto kau i ahau āna whakapakoko katoa.
He mea āmene hoki nāna ki te utu a te wahine kairau,
ā, ka hoki atu anō hei utu ki te wahine kairau.”
Te Tarukitanga o ngā Pā o Hūrā
8 Mō reira ka tangi ahau, ka auē,
ka haere ahau, tīhore rawa ngā kākahu, tahanga kau;
ka rite tāku tangi ki tā ngā kurī mohoao,
tāku uhunga ki tā ngā otereti.
9 Nō te mea ko ōna patunga e kore e mahu;
kua tae rawa nei hoki ki a Hūrā;
kua tae ki te kūwaha o tāku iwi,
arā ki Hiruhārama.
10 Kaua e whakaaturia ki Kāta,
kaua rawa e tangi;
kua okeoke ahau i roto i te puehu
i Pētere Āpara.
11 Haere atu korua,
e te wahine e noho ana i Hapiri,
i te takoto tahanga, i te whakamā;
kāhore anō te wahine e noho ana
i Taanana i puta mai;
ka tangohia atu i a koutou
e te tangihanga o Pete-Etere tōna tūranga.
12 I tatari hoki te wahine e noho ana i Maroto ki te pai,
me te mānukanuka anō;
nō te mea kua heke iho te kino i a Ihowā
ki te kūwaha o Hiruhārama.
13 Whakamaua te hāriata ki te hōiho tere,
e te wahine e noho ana i Rakihi.
Ko ia te tīmatanga o te hara
o te tamāhine a Hiona;
kua kitea nā hoki
ngā hē o Īharaira i roto i a koe.
14 Mō reira ka hoatu e koe he hākari poroporoaki
ki Morehetekata;
hei mea teka ngā whare o Akatipi
ki ngā kīngi o Īharaira.
15 Tēnei ake ka kawea atu e ahau ki a koe,
e te wahine e noho ana i Mareha,
te tangata e whiwhi ki a koe;
ka tae te korōria o Īharaira ki Aturama rā anō.
16 Moremorea tōu māhunga, kutikutia hoki,
mō āu tamariki i āhuareka ai;
whakanuia tōu pākira kia rite ki tō te ēkara;
kua mawehe atu hoki rātou i a koe, kua whakaraua.
