He Kawanga o te Temepara
He waiata; he pikitanga.
1 E Ihowā, maharatia a Rāwiri,
me ōna mamaetanga ngākau katoa;
2 tāna oati ki a Ihowā,
tāna kupu taurangi ki te Mea Nui o Hākopa,
3 “E kore rawa ahau e tae ki tōku whare e noho ai ahau,
e eke rānei ki runga ki tōku moenga;
4 e kore ahau e tuku i ōku kanohi kia moe,
i ōku kamo kia nenewha,
5 kia kitea rā anō e ahau he wāhi mō Ihowā,
he nohoanga mō te Mea Nui o Hākopa.”
6 Nā, i rangona e mātou ki Ēparata,
i kitea ki ngā māra o te ngahere.
7 “Ka haere mātou ki roto ki ōna tapenākara;
ka koropiko ki tōna tūranga waewae.”
8 E ara, e Ihowā, ki tōu okiokinga,
a koe, me te āka o tōu kaha.
9 Kia whakakākahuria āu tohunga ki te tika,
kia hāmama tāu hunga tapu i te hari.
10 Whakaaro ki a Rāwiri, ki tāu pononga,
kaua e whakapeaua atu te mata o tāu i whakawahi ai.
11 Kua oati pono a Ihowā ki a Rāwiri,
e kore ia e tahuri kē i tēnā:
“Ka whakanohoia e ahau tētahi hua
o tōu kōpū ki tōu torōna.
12 Ki te puritia e āu tama tāku kawenata,
me tāku whakaaturanga e ako ai ahau ki a rātou,
ka noho anō ā rātou tama
ki tōu torōna ake ake.”
13 Kua whiriwhiria hoki e Ihowā a Hiona;
kua hiahiatia e ia hei nohoanga mōna:
14 “Ko tōku okiokinga tēnei ake ake;
ko konei ahau noho ai, kua hiahiatia hoki e ahau.
15 Ka manaakitia rawatia e ahau tāna kai;
ka whakamākonatia e ahau ōna rawakore ki te taro.
16 Ka whakakākahuria hoki e ahau ōna tohunga ki te whakaoranga,
ā, ka hāmama tōna hunga tapu i te hari.
17 “Ka meinga e ahau kia pihi ki reira te haona o Rāwiri;
kua whakapaia e ahau he rama mō tāku i whakawahi ai.
18 Ka whakakākahuria e ahau ōna hoariri ki te whakamā,
ā, ka matomato tōna karauna i runga i a ia.”
