Te Ātetetanga ki a Keraria
1 Nā, i te whitu o ngā marama ka haere mai a Ihimaera tama a Netania, tama a Erihama, he uri kīngi, ko ia tētahi o ngā tino rangatira a te kīngi, me ōna hoa kotahi tekau, ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama, ki Mihipa. Nā, kei te kai taro rātou tahi ki reira, ki Mihipa. 2 Kātahi ka whakatika ake a Ihimaera tama a Netania, rātou ko ōna hoa kotahi tekau, ā, patua ana a Keraria tama a Ahikama, tama a Hapana ki te hoari, mate rawa, ā, ia i meinga nei e te kīngi o Papurōna hei kāwana mō te whenua. 3 Nā, i patua anō e Ihimaera ngā Hūrai katoa i a ia, i a Keraria, i Mihipa, rātou ko ngā Karari i kitea ki reira, arā ngā tāngata whawhai.
4 Nā, i te rua o ngā rā i muri i tāna whakamatenga i a Keraria, ā, kīhai i mōhiotia e tētahi tangata, 5 ka haere mai ētahi tāngata i Hekeme, i Hiro, i Hamaria, e waru tekau ngā tāngata, heu rawa ō rātou pāhau, haehae rawa ngā kākahu, he mea haehae anō hoki rātou, me ngā whakahere, me te whakakakara anō i ō rātou ringa hei tāpaenga ki te whare o Ihowā. 6 Nā, ka haere atu a Ihimaera tama a Netania i roto i Mihipa ki te whakatau i a rātou, me te tangi haere anō i a ia e haere ana. Ā, i tōna tūtakitanga ki a rātou, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Haere mai ki a Keraria tama a Ahikama.” 7 Heoi, i tō rātou taenga ki roto ki te pā, ka patua rātou e Ihimaera tama a Netania, ā, makā ana e rātou ko ōna hoa ki roto ki te poka. 8 Otiia, tērā anō ētahi kotahi tekau i kitea i roto i a rātou, i kī atu ki a Ihimaera, “Kaua mātou e whakamatea; he taonga hoki a mātou kei te pārae, he wīti, he pārei, he hinu, he honi, kei te hunā.” Nā, ka mutu tāna, ā, kīhai rātou i whakamatea e ia i roto i ō rātou tēina.
9 Nā, ko te poka i makā ai e Ihimaera ngā tinana katoa o ngā tāngata i patua nei e ia ki te taha o Keraria, ko tērā i hangā e Kīngi Aha i te wehi ki a Paaha, kīngi o Īharaira, whakakīia ana taua poka e Ihimaera tama a Netania ki te hunga i patua. 10 Kātahi ka whakaraua e Ihimaera ngā mōrehu katoa o te iwi i Mihipa, ngā tamāhine a te kīngi, me ngā mōrehu katoa i Mihipa, ko te hunga i meinga nei e Neputarārana rangatira o ngā kaitiaki, a Keraria tama a Ahikama hei kāwana mō rātou; whakaraua ana rātou e Ihimaera tama a Netania, ā, haere ana ia, whiti ana ki ngā tama a Āmona.
11 I te rongonga ia o Hohanana tama a Karea, rātou ko ngā rangatira katoa o ngā ope i a ia, ki te kino katoa i mahia e Ihimaera tama a Netania, 12 kātahi ka tango rātou i ngā tāngata katoa, ā, haere ana ki te whawhai ki a Ihimaera tama a Netania, ā, rokohanga atu ia i te taha o ngā wai nunui i Kipeono. 13 Ā, nō te kitenga o te hunga katoa i a Ihimaera i a Hohanana tama a Karea, i ōna hoa hoki, i ngā rangatira katoa o ngā ope, nā, ka koa rātou. 14 Ko te tino tahuritanga o te hunga katoa i whakaraua e Ihimaera i Mihipa, hoki ana, haere ana ki a Hohanana tama a Karea. 15 Engari ko Ihimaera tama a Netania i mawhiti atu i a Hohanana, rātou ko ngā tāngata tokowaru, ā, haere ana ki ngā tama a Āmona.
16 Kātahi ka mau a Hohanana tama a Karea, rātou ko ōna hoa, ko ngā rangatira katoa o ngā ope, i ngā mōrehu katoa o te iwi, i ērā o Mihipa i whakahokia mai e ia i a Ihimaera tama a Netania, i muri i tāna patunga i a Keraria tama a Ahikama – arā ngā tāngata whawhai, ngā wāhine, ngā tamariki, ngā unaka hoki i whakahokia mai e ia i Kipeono. 17 Ā, haere ana, noho ana i Kerutu Kimihama, i te taha o Pēterehema, he mea kia haere ai rātou ki Īhipa, 18 i te wehi ki ngā Karari; i wehi hoki rātou i a rātou, mō te patunga a Ihimaera tama a Netania i a Keraria tama a Ahikama, i meinga nei e te kīngi o Papurōna hei kāwana mō te whenua.
