Te Iwi o Īharaira Koropiko ki a Paarapeoro
1 Nā, ka noho a Īharaira ki Hitimi, ā, ka anga te iwi ka moepuku ki ngā tamāhine a Moapa. 2 Nā rātou hoki i karanga te iwi ki ngā patunga tapu mā ō rātou atua; nā, kai ana te iwi, ā, koropiko ana ki ō rātou atua. 3 Nā, ka whakaūkia a Īharaira ki a Paara-Peoro, ā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a Īharaira.
4 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, “Tangohia ngā ariki katoa o te iwi, tāronatia hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowā, i te ritenga atu o te rā, kia tahuri atu ai i a Īharaira te riri o Ihowā e mura nei.”
5 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki ngā kaiwhakawā o Īharaira, “Patua e tēnei, e tēnei o koutou ōna tāngata i whakaūkia ki a Paara-Peoro.”
6 Nā, ka puta tētahi o ngā tama a Īharaira, e mau ana mai i tētahi wahine Miriani ki ōna tēina i te tirohanga atu a Mohi, i te tirohanga atu anō hoki a te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, i a rātou e tangi ana i te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga. 7 Ā, nō te kitenga o Pinehaha, tama a Ereātara, tama a Ārona tohunga, ka whakatika i te whakaminenga. Ka hopu i te tao ki tōna ringa; 8 nā, ka haere i muri i te tangata o Īharaira ki te tēneti, ā, werohia ana rāua tokorua, te tangata o Īharaira, me te wahine hoki i tōna tia. Ā mutu iho te whiu o ngā tama a Īharaira. 9 Ā, ko te hunga i mate i te whiu e rua tekau mā whā mano.
10 Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, ka mea, 11 “Nā Pinehaha, tama a Ereātara, tama a Ārona tohunga, tōku riri i anga kē atu ai i ngā tama a Īharaira, i tōna ngākau hae pēnei i tōku i roto i a rātou, i kore ai ngā tama a Īharaira e poto i ahau, i ahau e hae ana. 12 Mō reira me kī atu e koe, ‘Nanā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia tāku kawenata mō te rangimārie; 13 ā, ka mau ki a ia, ki ōna uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata kia mau tonu te mahi tohunga; mōna i hae, he whakaaro ki tōna Atua, i mea whakamārietanga anō hoki mō ngā tama a Īharaira.’ ”
14 Ā, ko te ingoa o te tangata o Īharaira i patua, i patua tahitia rā me te wahine Miriani, ko Tīmiri tama a Hāru, he rangatira nō tētahi whare kaumātua i roto i ngā Himioni. 15 Ko te ingoa hoki o te wahine Miriani i patua nei ko Kohopi, he tamāhine nā Turu; he rangatira ia nō tētahi iwi, nō tētahi whare kaumātua o Miriana.
16 Nā, ka kōrero a Ihowā ki a Mohi, ka mea, 17 “Whakataria he pakanga ki ngā Miriani, patua hoki; 18 e whakatari ana hoki rātou i a koutou ki ā rātou mahi tinihanga, i tinihangatia rā koutou e rātou i te mea mō Peoro, i te mea hoki mō Kohopi, tamāhine a te rangatira o Miriana, he tuahine nō rātou, i patua rā i te rā o te whiunga mō Peoro.”
