Ko Irāia kei Maunga Horepa
1 Nā, ka kōrerotia e Āhapa ki a Ietēpere ngā mea katoa i mea ai a Irāia, me ngā meatanga katoa i tāna whakamatenga i ngā poropiti katoa ki te hoari. 2 Kātahi a Ietēpere ka tono tangata ki a Irāia hei kī atu, “Kia meatia tēnei ki ahau e ngā atua, me ētahi atu mea, ki te kāhore ahau e mea i a koe i tēnei takiwā āpōpō kia rite te mate ki tētahi o rātou i mate rā.”
3 Ā, ka kite ia, nā whakatika ana, haere ana, he mea kei mate, ā, ka tae ki Peerehepa o Hūrā. Nā, ka whakarērea e ia tāna tangata ki reira. 4 Ko ia ia haere ki te koraha, kotahi te rā ki te ara, ā, ka tae, ka noho i raro i tētahi hunipa; ā, ka īnoi ia mōna kia mate ia; ā, ka mea, “Heoi rā, ināianei, e Ihowā, tangohia atu tōku wairua; kāhore hoki ahau i pai ake i ōku mātua.” 5 Nā, ka takoto ia, ka moe i raro i tētahi hunipa.
Nā, ko tētahi anahera e papaki ana i a ia, e mea ana ki a ia, “Maranga ki te kai.” 6 Nā, titiro rawa ake ia, ko tētahi keke, he mea tunu ki te pungarehu, me tētahi ipu wai i tōna urunga. Nā, kai ana ia, inu ana, ā, takoto iho ana anō.
7 Nā, ka hoki mai anō te anahera a Ihowā, ā, ka papaki i a ia, ka mea, “Maranga ki te kai; he roa rawa hoki te ara mōu, e kore e taea e koe.” 8 Nā, maranga ana ia, ā, kai ana, inu ana, ā, haere ana, me te mau anō te mana o taua kai, e whā tekau ngā rā, e whā tekau ngā pō ā tae noa ki Horepa, ki te maunga o te Atua. 9 Nā, haere ana ia ki reira ki tētahi ana, ā, moe ana i reira.
Ka Puta mai a Ihowā ki a Irāia
Nā, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowā ki a ia; i mea ia: “E aha ana koe i konei, e Irāia?”
10 Ā, ka mea tērā, “Nui atu tōku hae mō Ihowā, mō te Atua o ngā mano; kua whakarērea hoki tāu kawenata e ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, ko āu āta, wāhia iho e rātou, patua iho hoki e rātou āu poropiti ki te hoari. Ā, ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; ā, kei te rapu rātou i ahau kia whakamatea.”
11 Nā, ka mea ia, “Puta mai, ka tū ki te maunga ki te aroaro o Ihowā.”
Nā, ko te haerenga atu o Ihowā, he nui anō te hau, he kaha, e whakakōara ana i ngā maunga, e wāhi ana i ngā kōhatu i te aroaro o Ihowā. Otiia, kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te hau; ā muri iho i te hau ko te rū; otiia kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te rū. 12 Ā, i muri o te rū ko te ahi; otiia kāhore a Ihowā i roto i te ahi; ā, i muri i te ahi ko te reo ngāwari, he mea iti. 13 Ā, nō te rongonga o Irāia ka hīpokina e ia tōna mata ki tōna koroka, ā, haere ana, tū ana i te kūwaha o te ana.
Nā, ko te putanga mai o tētahi reo ki a ia, ka mea, “E aha ana koe i konei, e Irāia?”
14 Anō rā ko tērā, “Nui atu tōku hae mō Ihowā, mō te Atua o ngā mano; kua whakarērea hoki tāu kawenata e ngā tama a Īharaira, ko āu āta, wāhia iho e rātou, patua iho e rātou āu poropiti ki te hoari. Ā, ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; ā, kei te rapu rātou i ahau kia whakamatea.”
15 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a ia, “Haere, e hoki i tōu ara ki te koraha o Ramahiku, ā, ka tae koe, whakawahia a Hataere hei kīngi mō Hīria. 16 Ā, whakawahia a Iehu tama a Nimihi hei kīngi mō Īharaira; me whakawahi anō a Eriha tama a Hāpata o Āperemehora hei poropiti i muri i a koe. 17 Nā, ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Hataere mā Iehu e whakamate; ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Iehu mā Eriha e whakamate. 18 Otiia ka whakatoea e ahau māku e whitu ngā mano i roto i a Īharaira, ko ngā turi katoa kīhai anō i tūturi ki a Paara, me ngā māngai katoa kīhai i kihi i a ia.”
Te Karanga o Eriha
19 Heoi, haere atu ana ia i reira, ā, ka tūpono ki a Eriha tama a Hāpata, e parau ana ia, me ngā kau i ngā ioka kotahi tekau mā rua i tōna aroaro, ko ia i te tekau mā rua. Nā, haere ana a Irāia i tōna taha, ā, makā ana e ia tōna koroka ki runga ki a ia.
20 Nā, whakarērea ake e tērā ngā kau, ā, rere ana ki te whai i a Irāia, ā, ka mea, “Tukua ahau kia kihi i tōku pāpā, i tōku whaea, ka haere ai ki te whai i a koe.”
Anō rā ko tērā ki a ia, “Haere, e hoki; i aha hoki ahau ki a koe?”
21 Nā, hoki ana tērā i te whai i a ia, ā, ka mau ki ngā kau o tētahi ioka, patua iho, kōhuatia iho ō rāua kikokiko ki ngā mea o ngā kau, hoatu ana e ia te kikokiko ki ngā tāngata, ā, kainga ana e rātou. Nā, whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki te whai i a Irāia, ā, mahi ana ki a ia.
