Ngā Oko o te Riri o te Atua
1 Ā, ka rongo ahau i te reo nui he mea nō roto i te whare tapu e mea ana ki ngā anahera e whitu, “Haere koutou, ringihia ngā oko e whitu o te riri o te Atua ki te whenua!”
2 Nā, haere ana te tuatahi, ringihia ana e ia tāna oko ki te whenua; ā, kua pā he mariao kino whakarihariha ki ngā tāngata kei a rātou nei te tohu a te kararehe, ki te hunga hoki e koropiko ana ki tōna whakapakoko.
3 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuarua o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te moana; ā, ka meinga hei toto, ānō nō te tūpāpaku; ā, ka mate ngā wairua ora katoa i roto i te moana.
4 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuatoru o ngā anahera tāna oko ki ngā awa, ki ngā puna wai; ā, ka meinga hei toto. 5 Ā, ka rongo ahau i te anahera o ngā wai e mea ana,
“Tika tonu koe, e te Ariki, tēnei koe ināianei,
i mua anō koe, ko te Mea Tapu hoki koe,
nāu hoki ēnei whakawā.
6 I ringihia hoki e rātou ngā toto o te hunga tapu,
o ngā poropiti, ā, hoatu ana e koe he toto ki a rātou kia inumia;
he mea tika hoki mā rātou.”
7 I rongo hoki ahau i te āta e mea ana,
“Āe rā, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa,
pono tonu, tika tonu āu whakawā.”
8 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuawhā o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te rā; ā, ka hoatu ki a ia kia tunua ngā tāngata ki te ahi. 9 Nā, hunuhunua ana ngā tāngata e te wera nui; ā, ka kohukohu rātou ki te ingoa o te Atua, kei a ia nei te tikanga mō ēnei whiu. Kīhai hoki rātou i rīpenetā, i hoatu i te korōria ki a ia.
10 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuarima o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te torōna o te kararehe; ā, ka whakapōuritia tōna rangatiratanga; ā, ngaua ana e ngā tāngata ō rātou arero i te mamae, 11 kohukohua ana hoki e rātou te Atua o te rangi mō ō rātou mamae, mō ō rātou mariao, kīhai anō rātou i rīpenetā ki ā rātou mahi.
12 Nā, ka ringihia e te tuaono o ngā anahera tāna oko ki te awa nui, ki Uparati; ā, mimiti ake tōna wai, he mea kia rite ai te huarahi o ngā kīngi e haere mai i te rāwhiti. 13 Ā, i kite ahau i ngā wairua poke e toru, te rite kei te poroka, e puta mai ana i te māngai o te tarakona, i te māngai hoki o te kararehe, i te māngai anō hoki o te poropiti teka. 14 Ko ngā wairua hoki rātou o ngā rēwera, e mahi ana i ngā tohu, e haere atu ana ki ngā kīngi o te whenua, o te ao katoa, ki te huihui i a rātou ki te whawhai i taua rā nui o te Atua Kaha Rawa.
15 “Nanā, ka haere atu ahau, ānō he tāhae. Ka hari te tangata e mataara ana, e tiaki ana i ōna kākahu, kei haere tahanga ia, kei kitea tōna whakamā!”
16 Nā, ka huihuia rātou e ia ki te wāhi e huaina nei i te reo Hiperu ko Aramakerona.
17 Nā, ka ringihia e te anahera tuawhitu tāna oko ki te takiwā o te rangi, ā, ka puta mai he reo nui i te whare tapu o te rangi, i te torōna, e mea ana, “Kua oti!” 18 Ā, ka puta mai he uira, he reo, he whatitiri, ā, ka puta he rū nui, kāhore anō he rū i pērā mai o te nohoanga o te tangata ki te whenua, tōna nui, tōna kaha. 19 Nā, ka wehea te pā nui, e toru ngā wāhi, ā, ka horo ngā pā o ngā tauiwi. Ka maharatia hoki Papurōna nui i te aroaro o te Atua, hoatu ana ki a ia te kapu o te wāina o te āritarita o tōna riri. 20 Ā, rere atu ana ngā motu katoa, kīhai hoki i kitea ngā maunga. 21 I heke iho anō hoki i te rangi he whatu nui, ki runga ki ngā tāngata, kei tō te taranata te taimaha o te whatu kotahi; ā, ka kohukohu ngā tāngata i te Atua mō te whiu a te whatu; he nui rawa hoki tāna whiu.
