Te Īnoi mō te Rīpenetā
1 Hoki mai, e Īharaira, ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua;
kua taka hoki koe i tōu hē.
2 Tīkina ētahi kupu mā koutou,
tahuri mai hoki ki a Ihowā;
mea atu ki a ia,
“Whakakāhoretia katoatia atu te hē,
kia manako mai ki te mea pai;
ā, ka hoatu e mātou anō he pūru te whakahere,
arā ō mātou ngutu.
3 E kore mātou e ora i a Ahuru;
e kore mātou e eke hōiho,
ā, heoi anō ā mātou kīanga atu
ki te mahi a ō mātou ringa,
‘Ko koutou ō mātou atua,’
e arohaina ana hoki te pani e koe.”
He Kupu Tūturu o te Murunga
4 “Ka rongoātia e ahau tō rātou tahuri kē,
ka aroha ahau ki a rātou, he mea utukore;
nō te mea kua tōku riri i a ia.
5 Ko tāku ki a Īharaira ka rite ki te tōmairangi;
ka rite tōna tupu ki tō te rengarenga,
te totoro o ōna pakiaka ka rite ki tō Repanōna.
6 Ka tautoro ōna manga,
ka rite tōna ātaahua ki tō te ōriwa,
tōna kakara ki tō Repanōna.
7 Ko te hunga e noho ana i raro i tōna marumaru ka hoki mai;
ka ora ake rātou, ka pērā me te wīti,
ka rite tō rātou tupu ki tō te wāina.
Ko tōna kakara ka rite ki tō te wāina o Repanōna.
8 Tērā a Ēparaima e kī,
‘Hei aha ake māku ngā whakapakoko?’
Kua rongo ahau ki a ia, kua kite i a ia;
ko tōku rite kei te kauri matomato;
ka kitea ki ahau he hua mōu.”
9 Ko wai te mea whakaaro nui hei mātau ki ēnei mea?
Ko wai te mea tūpato e mōhiotia ai?
Tika tonu hoki ngā ara a Ihowā,
ā, ka haere te hunga tika i reira,
ka taka ia te hunga hē i reira.
