Ka Whakaorangia e Rāwiri te Kāinga o Keira
1 Nā, ka kōrerotia te kōrero ki a Rāwiri, “Nanā, kei te whawhai ngā Pirihitini ki Keira, ā, e pāhua ana i ngā patunga wīti.” 2 Nā reira i ui ai a Rāwiri ki a Ihowā, i mea ai, “Me haere rānei ahau ki te patu i ēnei Pirihitini?”
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Rāwiri, “Haere, patua ngā Pirihitini, whakaorangia hoki a Keira.”
3 Nā, ka mea ngā tāngata a Rāwiri ki a ia, “Nanā, e wehi nei tātou i konei i Hūrā, ā tērā noa ake ki te haere ki Keira, ki ngā taua a ngā Pirihitini.”
4 Kātahi a Rāwiri ka ui anō ki a Ihowā; ā, ka whakahokia mai te kōrero e Ihowā ki a ia, “Whakatika, haere ki raro, ki Keira; kua hoatu hoki ngā Pirihitini e ahau ki tōu ringa.” 5 Nā, haere ana a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata ki Keira, ā, whawhai ana ki ngā Pirihitini, ā, āia mai ana e ia ā rātou kararehe, patua iho hoki rātou, he nui te parekura. Nā, whakaorangia ana ngā tāngata o Keira e Rāwiri.
6 Nā, i te rerenga o Apiātara tama a Ahimereke ki a Rāwiri ki Keira, i maua mai e ia tētahi epora i tōna ringa. 7 Ā, ka kōrerotia ki a Haora, kua tae a Rāwiri ki Keira, ā, ka mea a Haora, “Kua tukua mai ia e te Atua ki tōku ringa; ka tūtakina nei hoki ia ki roto, i a ia ka tomo nei ki te pā whai tatau, whai tūtaki.” 8 Nā, ka karangatia te iwi katoa e Haora ki te whawhai, kia haere ki raro, ki Keira, ki te whakapae i a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata.
9 Nā, kua mōhio a Rāwiri e whakatakoto puku ana a Haora i te kino mōna; ā, ka mea ia ki a Apiātara tohunga, “Kawea mai te epora.” 10 Kātahi a Rāwiri ka mea, “E Ihowā e te Atua o Īharaira, kua tino rongo tāu pononga e mea ana a Haora kia haere mai ki Keira ki te whakangaro i te pā, he mea mōku. 11 Tērā rānei e tukua ahau e ngā tāngata o Keira ki tōna ringa? E haere mai rānei a Haora, e pērā rānei me tā tāu pononga i rongo ai? E Ihowā, e te Atua o Īharaira, tēnā rā, whakaaturia mai ki tāu pononga.”
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā, “Ka haere mai anō ia.”
12 Anō rā ko Rāwiri, “Tērā rānei ngā tāngata o Keira e tuku i a mātou, ko āku tāngata ki te ringa o Haora?”
Nā, ka mea a Ihowā, “Ka tuku anō.”
13 Kātahi a Rāwiri ka whakatika, rātou ko āna tāngata me te mea e ono rau ā haere atu ana i Keira; i haere rātou i tā rātou haere noa atu. Ā, kōrerotia ki a Haora kua rere atu a Rāwiri i Keira, nā, kīhai ia i haere atu.
Ko Rāwiri kei roto i te Whenua Pukepuke
14 Nā, ka noho a Rāwiri ki te koraha, ki ngā pourewa, ka noho ki te whenua pukepuke i te koraha o Tiwhi. Ā, rapua ana ia e Haora i ngā rā katoa; otiia kīhai ia i tukua e te Atua ki tōna ringa.
15 Nā, kua kite a Rāwiri kua puta mai a Haora, e whai ana kia whakamatea ia; i te koraha anō hoki o Tiwhi a Rāwiri, i roto i te ngahere. 16 Nā, ka whakatika a Honatana tama a Haora, ā, haere ana ki a Rāwiri ki te ngahere, ā, whakakahangia ana e ia tōna ringa i roto i te Atua. 17 I mea hoki ia ki a ia, “Kaua e wehi; e kore hoki te ringa o Haora, o tōku pāpā e pono ki a koe; ā, ko koe anō hei kīngi mō Īharaira, ko ahau hoki ki muri i a koe; e mōhiotia ana anō tēnei e Haora, e tōku pāpā.” 18 Nā, whakarite kawenata ana rāua i te aroaro o Ihowā; ā, noho ana a Rāwiri i te ngahere, ko Honatana hoki i haere ki tōna whare.
19 Kātahi ngā Tiwhi ka haere ki a Haora ki Kipea, ka mea, “He teka ianei kei te piri a Rāwiri i roto i a mātou, i ngā pourewa i te ngahere i Maunga Hakira, i te taha ki te tonga o Hehimono?” 20 Nā, tēnā rā, e te kīngi, kua hiahia rawa nei hoki tōu ngākau ki te haere ki raro; haere ake, ā, mā mātou te tuku i a ia ki te ringa o te kīngi.
21 Nā, ka mea a Haora, “Kia manaakitia koutou e Ihowā; mō koutou i aroha ki ahau. 22 Nā, haere, whakatikaia rawatia, kia mōhiotia, kia kitea, tōna wāhi e hāereere ai, i kitea hoki ia e wai ki reira; e kōrerotia ana hoki ki ahau he tūpato rawa ia. 23 Tirohia iho, kia mōhio hoki ki ngā piringa katoa e piri ai ia, ka hoki mai ai ki ahau inā tino tika, ā, ka haere tahi atu tātou. Nā, ki te mea kei te whenua nei ia, māku ia e rapu atu i roto i ngā mano katoa o Hūrā.”
24 Nā, whakatika ana rātou, haere ana ki Tiwhi ki mua i a Haora; i te koraha ia o Maono a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata, i te mānia i te tonga o Hehimono. 25 Nā, ka haere a Haora rātou ko āna tāngata ki te rapu i a ia. Ā, ka kōrerotia ki a Rāwiri, nā, ka haere atu ia ki raro, ki tētahi kāmaka, ā, noho ana i te koraha o Maono. Ā, ka rongo a Haora, nā, ka whāia e ia a Rāwiri i te koraha o Maono.
26 Nā, i tēnei taha o te maunga a Haora e haere ana, i tērā taha hoki o te maunga a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata; ā, ka hohoro a Rāwiri te haere atu i te wehi i a Haora; e karapotia ana hoki a Rāwiri rātou ko āna tāngata e Haora rātou ko āna tāngata, kia hopukia. 27 Otiia ko te taenga mai o te karere ki a Haora hei mea, “Kia hohoro te haere mai; kua huaki mai hoki ngā Pirihitini ki te whenua.” 28 Heoi, ka hoki atu a Haora i te whai i a Rāwiri, ā, haere ana ki te whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini; nā reira i huaina ai te ingoa o tērā wāhi, ko te Kōhatu o ngā Wehewehenga. 29 Nā, haere atu ana a Rāwiri i reira, ā, noho ana i ngā pourewa i Enekeri.
