Te Pā Whakaheke Toto
1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 “E whakawā rānei koe, e te tama a te tangata, e whakawā rānei koe i te pā whakaheke toto? Nā, whakakitea anō āna mea whakarihariha katoa ki a ia. 3 Ā, mea atu koe: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: He pā e whakaheke ana i te toto i waenganui ōna, he mea e tae mai ai te wā mōna, e hanga whakapakoko ana hei hē mōna, hei whakapoke i a ia! 4 Kua hē koe i ōu toto i whakahekea e koe, kua poke i āu whakapakoko i hangā e koe; ā, kua meinga e koe ōu rā kia tata, kua tae anō koe ki ōu tau. Nā reira koe i meinga ai e ahau hei tāwainga mā ngā tauiwi, hei taunutanga mā ngā whenua katoa. 5 Ko te hunga e tata ana, ko te hunga hoki e matara atu ana i a koe, ka taunu ki a koe, e te tangata ingoa poke, kikī tonu i te tutū.
6 “Nanā, ngā rangatira o Īharaira, puta ana ngā uaua o tētahi, o tētahi i roto i a koe ki te whakaheke toto. 7 E whakahāwea ana rātou ki te pāpā, ki te whaea, i roto i a koe; he mahi whakatupu kino tā rātou ki te tautangata i roto i a koe. E tūkinotia ana e rātou te pani me te pouaru i roto i a koe. 8 Ko āku mea tapu whakahāweatia iho e koe, ko āku hāpati whakanoatia ana e koe. 9 I roto i a koe ngā tāngata ngautuarā, he mea kia whakahekea ai he toto; i roto i a koe te kai ki runga ki ngā maunga; i roto i a koe te mahi pūremu. 10 I roto i a koe te hura i tō te pāpā e takoto tahanga ai; i roto i a koe te whakaiti i te wahine poke i a ia e noho wehe ana. 11 He mahi whakarihariha anō tā tētahi ki te wahine a tōna hoa; ko tā tētahi whakapokea iho, pūremutia iho tāna hunaonga; ko tā tētahi i roto i a koe, he whakaiti i tōna tuahine, i te tamāhine a tōna pāpā. 12 I roto i a koe i tango rātou i te utu whakapati e whakahekea ai he toto; kua tango koe i te moni whakatupu, i ngā hua anō hoki, kua haoa mai anō e koe ngā taonga a ōu hoa, he mea tūkino, kua wareware anō koe ki ahau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.
13 “Nanā, kua pākia e ahau tōku ringa ki tāu hao taonga i hao ai koe, ki ōu toto anō kua heke nā i waenganui i a koe. 14 E ū rānei tōu ngākau, e pakari rānei ōu ringa, i ngā rā e mahi ai ahau ki a koe? Nāku, nā Ihowā te kupu, māku anō e mahi. 15 Ka whakamararatia atu anō koe e ahau ki roto ki ngā tauiwi, ka tītaria hoki koe ki ngā whenua, ā, ka poto i ahau tōu poke i roto i a koe. 16 Ka whakanoatia anō hoki koe e koe anō i te tirohanga a ngā iwi, ā, ka mōhio koe ko Ihowā ahau.”
17 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 18 “E te tama a te tangata, ki ahau, kua rite te whare o Īharaira ki te para; he parāhi rātou katoa, he tine, he rino, he matā i waenga oumu; he para hiriwa rātou katoa. 19 Nā reira tēnei kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nā, he para nei koutou katoa, nā, tēnei ahau te kohikohi nei i a koutou ki waenganui o Hiruhārama. 20 Ka rite ki te kohikohinga o te hiriwa, o te parāhi, o te rino, o te matā, o te tine ki waenganui o te oumu, pūhia tonutia atu te ahi ki runga hei whakarewa; ka pēnā anō tāku kohikohi i a koe i runga i tōku riri, i tōku weriweri, ka waiho anō koutou e ahau ki reira, ka whakarewaina anō koutou. 21 Inā, ka whakaminea koutou e ahau, ka pupuhi atu anō ahau ki a koutou i runga i te ahi, arā i tōku riri, ā, ka rewa koutou i waenganui. 22 Ka rite ki te whakarewanga o te hiriwa i roto i te oumu; ka pēnā anō tō koutou whakarewanga i waenganui o taua oumu, ā, ka mōhio koutou kua oti tōku weriweri te riringi e ahau, e Ihowā, ki runga ki a koutou.”
23 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 24 “E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki a ia: ‘He whenua koe kīhai i purea, kīhai anō i whai ua i te rā o te riri.’ 25 E whakatakotoria ana he hē e āna poropiti i waenganui i a ia, koia anō kei te raiona māngai nui e haehae ana i te tūpāpaku; kua pau ngā wairua i a rātou; kua riro i a rātou ngā taonga me ngā mea utu nui; kua tini i a rātou ōna pouaru i roto i a ia. 26 Kua tūkinotia e āna tohunga tāku ture, whakanoatia ana e rātou āku mea tapu; kīhai i wehea e rātou te tapu i te noa, kīhai anō i whakakitea e rātou te wehenga o te poke, o te mā; ko ō rātou kanohi hunā ake e rātou ki āku hāpati, ā, whakapokea ana ahau i roto i a rātou. 27 Ko ōna rangatira i roto i a ia, rite tonu ki te wuruhi e haehae ana i te tūpāpaku; he whakaheke toto, he whakangaro wairua, kia riro mai ai he taonga whānako. 28 I pania anō e āna poropiti he mea mō rātou ki te paru kīhai i kōnatunatua; he moemoeā horihori a rātou; he teka ngā kōrero a aua tohunga tūāhu ki a rātou, i a rātou ka mea nei, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā,’ i te mea kīhai a Ihowā i kōrero. 29 Ko tā te iwi o te whenua, he whakatupu kino, he pāhua; āe rā, e tūkinotia ana e rātou te ware me te rawakore; e whakatupuria kinotia ana e rātou te tautangata i te mea kāhore nei he take.
30 “I te rapu anō ahau i te tangata i roto i a rātou hei hanga i te taiepa, hei tū ki te wāhi pakaru ki tōku aroaro mō te whenua, hei mea kei whakangaromia e ahau; heoi kīhai i kitea. 31 Nā reira i ringihia ai e ahau tōku riri ki runga ki a rātou; kua whakapotoa rātou e ahau ki te ahi o tōku riri; kua hoatu e ahau te utu o tō rātou ara ki runga ki ō rātou māhunga, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā.”
