Ko te Pukapuka Tuatahi o
Hamuera
1
Ko Erekana rātou ko Tāna Whānau kei Hiro
1 Nā, tērā tētahi tangata nō Ramataima Topimi, nō te whenua pukepuke o Ēparaima, ko Erekana tōna ingoa, he Ēparati, he tama nā Ierohama, tama a Erihu, tama a Tohu, tama a Tupu. 2 Ā, tokorua āna wāhine; ko Hana te ingoa o tētahi, ko Penina te ingoa o tētahi; nā, he tamariki a Penina, kāhore ia he tamariki a Hana.
3 Ā, haere atu ai tēnei tangata i ia tau, i ia tau, i tōna pā ki te koropiko, ki te patu whakahere ki a Ihowā o ngā mano, ki Hiro, ā, i reira ngā tama tokorua a Eri, a Hōponi rāua ko Pinehaha, ngā tohunga a Ihowā. 4 Ā, ka tae ki te rā i patu whakahere ai a Erekana, nā, hoatu ana e ia ētahi mea ki a Penina, ki tāna wahine, ki āna tama katoa anō, rātou ko āna tamāhine; 5 ki tāna wahine ia, ki a Hana, e rua ngā wāhi i hoatu e ia; i aroha hoki ia ki a Hana; otiia kua oti tōna kōpū te tūtaki e Ihowā. 6 Ā, nui atu te whakatoi a tōna hoa tauwhāinga ki a ia, ā mamae noa ia, nō te mea kua tūtakina tōna kōpū e Ihowā. 7 Pēnā tonu tā te tāne mahi, i ia tau, i ia tau, i ngā haerenga o tēnei ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowā, ā, pēnā tonu tā tērā whakatoi i tēnei; ā, tangi noa ia, kīhai hoki i kai. 8 Nā, ka mea tāna tahu, a Erekana ki a ia, “E Hana, he aha koe i tangi ai? He aha hoki koe tē kai ai? He aha anō i pōuri ai tōu ngākau? Ki tāu e kore ianei e nui atu tōku pai i tō ngā tama kotahi tekau?”
9 Heoi, ka whakatika a Hana i muri i a rātou i kai ai i Hiro, i inu ai hoki. Nā, ko Eri ko te tohunga, i runga i tōna nohoanga noho ai, i te pou o te kūwaha o te temepara o Ihowā. 10 Ā, i tino pōuri te ngākau o tērā, ka īnoi ki a Ihowā, ā, nui atu tāna tangi. 11 Nā, ka puaki tāna kī taurangi, i mea ia, “E Ihowā o ngā mano, ki te āta titiro mai koe ki te pōuri o tāu pononga wahine, ā, ka mahara ki ahau, ā, e kore e wareware ki tāu pononga, engari ka hōmai i tētahi tama ki tāu pononga, nā, ka hoatu ia e ahau ki a Ihowā i ngā rā katoa e ora ai ia; e kore anō he heu e heua ki tōna mātenga.”
12 Nā, i te mea e īnoi tonu ana ia i te aroaro o Ihowā, ka titiro a Eri ki tōna waha. 13 Nā, ko Hana, e kōrero ana ia i roto i tōna ngākau; ko ōna ngutu kau e komeme ana, kīhai ia tōna reo i rangona; nā reira i mea ai a Eri e haurangi ana ia. 14 Nā, ka mea a Eri ki a ia, “Ka tae te roa o tōu haurangi! Whakarērea atu tāu wāina.”
15 Nā, ka utua e Hana, ka mea, “Kāhore, e tōku ariki; he wahine ngākau pōuri ahau; kāhore ahau i inu i te wāina, i te wai whakahaurangi rānei; engari e ringihia ana e ahau tōku ngākau ki te aroaro o Ihowā. 16 Kaua tāu pononga e kīia he tamāhine nā Periara; nā te nui hoki o tōku mamae, o tōku pōuri, ēnei kōrero āku.”
17 Kātahi ka utua e Eri, ka mea ia, “Haere mārie; ā, mā te Atua o Īharaira e hōmai tāu mea i īnoi ai koe ki a ia.”
18 Nā, ka mea tērā, “Kia manakohia tāu pononga e koe.” Kātahi taua wahine ka haere, ka kai, ā, mutu ake te pōuri o tōna mata.
19 Nā, ka maranga wawe rātou i te ata, ā, ka koropiko ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, hoki ana, haere ana ki tō rātou whare i Rama. Nā, ka mōhio a Erekana ki a Hana, ki tāna wahine; i mahara anō a Ihowā ki a ia. 20 Nā, ka taka ngā rā, ka hapū a Hana, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Hamuera, i mea hoki, “Nō te mea i īnoia ia e ahau i a Ihowā.”
21 Nā, ka haere taua tangata a Erekana me tōna whare katoa ki runga, ki te patu i te whakahere o te tau ki a Ihowā, me tāna kī taurangi hoki. 22 Ko Hana ia kīhai i haere; i mea hoki ki tāna tahu, “Kia whakamutua rā anō te kai ū a te tamaiti, ko reira ahau kawe atu ai i a ia, kia puta ai ia ki te aroaro o Ihowā, mō tōna noho tonu atu ki reira.”
23 Nā, ka mea a Erekana tāna tahu ki a ia, “Meatia tā tōu whakaaro e whakapai ai; e noho, kia whakamutua rā anō tāna kai ū otiia kia mau te kupu a Ihowā. Heoi, noho ana taua wahine, whakangotea ana tāna tama, ā mutu noa tāna kai ū.”
24 Nā, i te mutunga o tāna kai ū ka mauria ia e ia, me ētahi pūru e toru, kotahi hoki te epa parāoa, me te pounamu wāina, kawea ana ia e ia ki te whare o Ihowā, ki Hiro; he tamariki rawa hoki taua tamaiti. 25 Nā, patua ana e rātou te pūru, ā, kawea ana te tamaiti ki a Eri. 26 Ā, ka mea ia, “E tōku ariki, kia ora tōu wairua; e tōku ariki, ko ahau te wahine i tū i tōu taha i konei nei, i īnoi rā ki a Ihowā. 27 Ko tēnei tamaiti tāku i īnoi ai; ā, hōmai ana e Ihowā ki ahau tāku mea i īnoi ai ahau ki a ia. 28 Nā reira kua tukua atu nei ia e ahau ki a Ihowā; he mea tuku ia ki a Ihowā i ngā rā katoa e ora ai ia.”
Ā, koropiko ana te tamaiti ki a Ihowā ki reira.
