Te Whakahere Turekore a Haora
1 E toru tekau ngā tau o Haora ka kīngi ia; ā, e rua ōna tau e kīngi ana mō Īharaira.
2 Nā, ka whiriwhiria e Haora ētahi tāngata o Īharaira māna, e toru mano. Ā, o aua mano, e rua i a Haora i Mikimaha, i Maunga Pētēre, kotahi mano i a Honatana i Kipea o Pineamine; ko te nuinga ia o te iwi i tonoa atu e ia ki tōna tēneti, ki tōna tēneti.
3 Nā, ka patua e Honatana ngā hōia pupuri a ngā Pirihitini i Kepa, ā, rongo ana ngā Pirihitini. Nā, ka whakatangihia te tētere e Haora puta noa i te whenua katoa, ā, ka mea, “Kia rongo ngā Hiperu.” 4 Ā, ka rongo a Īharaira katoa i te kōrero kua patua e Haora ngā hōia pupuri a ngā Pirihitini, ā, kua whakahouhou hoki a Īharaira ki ngā Pirihitini, nā, ka huihui te iwi ki te whai i a Haora ki Kirikara.
5 Me ngā Pirihitini hoki, i huihui ki te whawhai ki a Īharaira, e toru tekau mano ngā hāriata, e ono mano ngā hōia eke hōiho, me ngā tāngata e rite ana ki te onepū i te taha o te moana te tini. Nā, ka haere rātou, ka noho ki Mikimaha, whaka te rāwhiti o Peteawene. 6 I te kitenga o ngā tāngata o Īharaira kei roto rātou i te raru, kua pāwera hoki te iwi, nā, piri ana te iwi i roto i ngā ana, i ngā wāhi ururua, i runga i ngā kāmaka, i ngā taumaihi, i roto i ngā rua. 7 Nā tērā ētahi o ngā Hiperu i whiti atu i Horano ki te whenua o Kara, o Kireara.
Ko Haora ia, i Kirikara anō ia; ā, aru wehi ana te iwi katoa i a ia. 8 Ā, e whitu ngā rā i tatari ai ia, ko te wā hoki ia i whakaritea e Hamuera; kāhore ia a Hamuera i tae ki Kirikara, ā, marara noa atu tōna nuinga. 9 Nā, ka mea a Haora, “Kawea mai te tahunga tinana ki ahau, me ngā whakahere mō te pai.” Nā, whakaekea ana e ia te tahunga tinana. 10 Ā, ka oti tāna tahunga tinana te whakaeke, nā, kua puta a Hamuera; ā, haere ana a Haora ki te whakatau i a ia, ki te oha ki a ia.
11 Nā, ka mea a Hamuera, “He mahi aha tāu?”
Anō rā ko Haora, “I kite hoki ahau kua marara noa atu tōku nuinga, ā, kāhore koe i tae mai i ngā rā i whakaritea, heoi e huihui ana ngā Pirihitini ki Mikimaha, 12 koia ka mea ahau, ‘Ākuanei ngā Pirihitini haere mai ai ki ahau ki Kirikara, ā, kāhore anō ahau kia īnoi ki a Ihowā.’ Nā, pēhia ana e ahau tōku ngākau, ā, whakaekea ana te tahunga tinana.”
13 Nā, ko te kīanga a Hamuera ki a Haora, “He mahi kūware tāu; kīhai nei i pupuri i te whakahau a Ihowā, a tōu Atua i whakahau ai ia ki a koe; pēnei kua whakapūmautia e Ihowā āianei tōu kīngitanga ki a Īharaira ā ake ake. 14 Ko tēnei, e kore e tū tōu kīngitanga; kua rapua e Ihowā tētahi tangata māna, ko tā tōna ngākau i pai ai, kua oti anō ia te whakahau e Ihowā hei rangatira mō tāna iwi; mōu kīhai i pupuri i tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a koe.”
15 Nā, whakatika ana a Hamuera, ā, haere atu ana i Kirikara ki Kipea o Pineamine. Ā, taua ana e Haora ngā tāngata i piri ki a ia; tata tonu aua tāngata ki te ono rau.
Ngā Whakariteritenga mō te Pakanga
16 Nā, i Kepa o Pineamine a Haora rāua ko tāna tama, ko Honatana, me te hunga hoki i piri ki a rāua; i Mikimaha anō ngā Pirihitini e noho ana. 17 Nā, ka puta ngā kaipāhua i te puni o ngā Pirihitini, e toru ngā ngohi; kotahi te ngohi i anga nā te ara ki Opora, ki te whenua o Huara, 18 kotahi te ngohi i anga nā te huarahi ki Petehorono; kotahi te ngohi i anga nā te ara ki te rohe e aro nui ana ki te raorao o Tepoimi whaka te koraha.
19 Nā, kāhore he parakimete i kitea puta noa i te whenua katoa o Īharaira; i mea hoki ngā Pirihitini, “Kei hangā he hoari, he tao rānei, e ngā Hiperu!” 20 Haere ai a Īharaira katoa ki raro, ki ngā Pirihitini ki te whakakoi i te hea, i te māripi o tāna parau, i tāna toki, i tāna ko. 21 Otiia he whaiuru anō tā rātou mō ngā hea, mō ngā māripi o ngā parau, mō ngā mārau, mō ngā toki, hei oro anō hoki mō ngā wero kau.
22 Heoi, i te rā o te pakanga kāhore i kitea he hoari, he tao i roto i te ringa o tētahi o ngā tāngata a Haora rāua ko Honatana; otiia i kitea anō ki a Haora rāua ko tāna tama, ko Honatana.
Ka Pōkiki a Honatana i ngā Pirihitini
23 Nā, ka haere ngā hōia pupuri a ngā Pirihitini ki te whakawhitinga atu o Mikimaha.
