Ehara rātou i te mea nāku i unga,” e ai tā Ihowā.
10 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā: “Kia rite ngā tau e whitu tekau ki Papurōna, ka tirohia koutou e ahau; ā, ka whakatutukitia e ahau tāku kupu pai ki a koutou, mō koutou kia whakahokia mai ki tēnei wāhi. 11 Kei te mōhio hoki ahau ki ngā whakaaro e whakaaro nei ahau ki a koutou,” e ai tā Ihowā, “he whakaaro mō te rongo mau, ehara mō te kino, kia hoatu he tūmanako ki a koutou i ō koutou rā whakamutunga. 12 Ā tērā koutou e karanga ki ahau, ā, ka haere koutou ka īnoi ki ahau, ā, ka rongo ahau ki a koutou. 13 Ka rapua anō ahau e koutou, ā, ka kitea e koutou, ina whakapaua ō koutou ngākau ki te rapu i ahau. 14 Ā, ka kitea ahau e koutou,” e ai tā Ihowā, “ā, whakahokia hoki e ahau tō koutou whakaraunga, ā, ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i ngā iwi katoa, i ngā wāhi katoa i peia atu ai koutou e ahau, e ai tā Ihowā; ā, ka whakahokia mai koutou e ahau ki te wāhi i whakaraua atu ai koutou e ahau.”
15 Kua kī hoki koutou, “Kua ara i a Ihowā ētahi poropiti mō tātou i Papurōna.” 16 Ko te kupu hoki tēnei a Ihowā mō te kīngi e noho ana i runga i te torōna o Rāwiri, mō te iwi katoa hoki e noho ana i tēnei pā, mō ō koutou tēina kīhai nei i haere tahi koutou i te whakaraunga: 17 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: “Nanā, ka ungā atu e ahau ki runga ki a rātou te hoari, te hemokai, te mate urutā, ā, ka meinga rātou e ahau kia rite ki ngā piki kikino, e kore nei e taea te kai i te kino rawa. 18 Ā, ka whāia rātou e ahau ki te hoari, ki te hemokai, ki te mate urutā, ka tukua hoki rātou kia poipoia i waenganui i ngā kīngitanga katoa o te whenua, hei kanga, hei mīharotanga, hei whakahīanga atu, ā, hei hahani, i roto i ngā iwi katoa e peia atu ai rātou e ahau. 19 Nō te mea kīhai rātou i rongo ki āku kupu,” e ai tā Ihowā, “ki āku kupu i ungā rā e ahau kia kawea ki a rātou e āku pononga, e ngā poropiti, moata ai i te ata ki te unga i a rātou; heoi kīhai koutou i rongo,” e ai tā Ihowā.
20 Mō reira whakarongo mai ki te kupu a Ihowā, koutou katoa o te whakaraunga, kua ungā atu nei e ahau i Hiruhārama ki Papurōna: 21 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira, mō Āhapa tama a Koraia, mō Terekia tama a Maaheia, e poropiti teka nā ki a koutou i runga i tōku ingoa: “Nanā, ka hoatu rāua e ahau ki te ringa o Nepukareha kīngi o Papurōna; ā, māna rāua e whakamate i ō koutou aroaro. 22 Ā, ka ai rāua hei kanga mā ngā whakarau katoa o Hūrā i Papurōna, ka kōrerotia: ‘Kia meinga koe e Ihowā kia rite ki a Terekia rāua ko Āhapa, i tunua nei e te kīngi o Papurōna ki te ahi.’ 23 Kua mahi pōauau hoki rāua i roto i a Īharaira, kua pūremu ki ngā wāhine a ō rāua hoa, kua kōrero hoki i ngā kupu teka i runga i tōku ingoa, he mea kīhai i whakahaua atu e ahau ki a rāua; ko ahau tēnei e mōhio ana, ko ahau te kaiwhakaatu,” e ai tā Ihowā.
Te Pukapuka a Hemaia
24 Nā, mō Hemaia Neherami me kōrero koe, me kī atu: 25 “Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, a te Atua o Īharaira, e mea ana ia: I te mea kua tukua e koe ētahi pukapuka i runga i tōu ake ingoa ki te iwi katoa i Hiruhārama, ki te tohunga, ki a Tepania tama a Maaheia, rātou ko ngā tohunga katoa, kua mea atu: 26 ‘Kua oti koe te mea e Ihowā hei tohunga i muri i a Iehoiara tohunga, kia waiho ai ko koutou hei kaitirotiro i roto i te whare o Ihowā mō te tāngata katoa e haurangi ana, e whakaporopiti ana i a ia, kia makā e koe ki ngā here waewae, ki ngā here ringa. 27 Nā, he aha rā tē rīria ai e koe a Heremaia Anatoti, e whakaporopiti nā i a ia ki a koutou? 28 Kua tukua mai nei hoki e ia he kupu ki a mātou ki Papurōna, e mea ana: Ka roa te whakaraunga. Hangā he whare mō koutou, ka noho i roto; whakatōkia he kāri, kainga ō rātou hua.’ ”
29 Nā, i kōrerotia tēnei pukapuka e Tepania tohunga ki ngā taringa o Heremaia poropiti. 30 Kātahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a Heremaia, i mea ia: 31 “Tukua he kupu ki ngā whakarau katoa, mea atu, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā mō Hemaia Neherami: Kua poropiti nā a Hemaia ki a koutou, ā, kīhai hoki ia i ungā e ahau, ā, kua meinga koutou e ia kia whakawhirinaki ki te teka, 32 mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: Nanā, ka whiua e ahau a Hemaia Neherami rātou ko ōna uri; kore iho he tangata mōna hei noho i roto i tēnei iwi, e kore hoki ia e kite i te pai e mahia e ahau ki tāku iwi, e ai tā Ihowā; nō te mea kua kōrero ia i te tutū mō Ihowā.’ ”
