| Chapter 33 |
1 |
¶ Tena ra, whakarongo, e Hopa, ki aku korero, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu katoa. --
|
2 |
Nana, kua puaki nei toku mangai, kei te korero toku arero i roto i toku mangai. --
|
3 |
Ma aku kupu e whakapuaki te tika o toku ngakau; ka korero pono oku ngutu i ta ratou e matau ana. --
|
4 |
He mea hanga ahau na te Wairua o te Atua, a na te manawa o te Kaha Rawa ahau i whai ora ai. --
|
5 |
Ki te taea e koe, whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau; whakatikaia au korero ki toku aroaro, e tu ki runga. --
|
6 |
Nana, ko toku anga ki te Atua he pena hoki i tau; he mea hanga nei ano hoki ahau ki te paru. --
|
7 |
Nana, e kore te wehi ki ahau e whakawehi i a koe; e kore ano hoki toku ringa e taimaha iho ki a koe. --
|
8 |
¶ He pono kua hakiri oku taringa ki au kupu, a kua rongo atu ahau i te reo o au kupu, e mea ana, --
|
9 |
He ma ahau, kahore oku he; he harakore ahau, kahore hoki he kino i roto i ahau: --
|
10 |
Na e rapu ana ia i te take riri ki ahau, e kiia ana ahau e ia he hoariri nona; --
|
11 |
E karapitia ana e ia oku waewae ki te rakau, e ata titiro ana ia ki oku hikoinga katoa. --
|
12 |
Nana, maku e whawhati tau kupu, ehara tenei mea au i te mea tika; nui atu hoki te Atua i te tangata. --
|
13 |
He aha koe i totohe ai ki a ia? E kore hoki e korerotia e ia te tikanga o tetahi o ana mea. --
|
14 |
¶ Kotahi hoki, ae ra, e rua korerotanga a te Atua, otiia kahore e maharatia e te tangata. --
|
15 |
I te moe, i te putanga moemoea mai o te po, ina au iho te moe o te tangata, i nga moenga i runga i te takotoranga; --
|
16 |
Ko reira ia whakapuare ai i nga taringa o nga tangata, hiri ai hoki i te ako mo ratou; --
|
17 |
Kia whakanekehia ai te tangata i tana whakaaro, kia hipokina ai hoki te whakapehapeha o te tangata; --
|
18 |
E puritia ana e ia tona wairua kei tae ki te rua, tona ora kei riro i te hoari. --
|
19 |
¶ E whiua ana hoki ia ki te mamae i runga i tona moenga, ki te ngau tonu hoki o ona wheua; --
|
20 |
A whakarihariha ana tona ora ki te taro, tona wairua ki te kai whakaminamina. --
|
21 |
E honia ana ona kiko, a kore noa e kitea; a purero mai ana ona wheua kihai nei i kitea i mua. --
|
22 |
Heoi e whakatata ana tona wairua ki te rua, tona ora ki nga kaiwhakamate. --
|
23 |
Ki te mea he karere tera kei a ia, he kaiwhakaatu tikanga tetahi i roto i te mano, hei whakaatu i tona tika ki te tangata: --
|
24 |
Na ka tohu tera i a ia, a ka mea, Whakaorangia ia kei heke ki te rua, kua kitea hoki e ahau he utu. --
|
25 |
Ko tona kiri ka ngawari atu i to te tamaiti; ka hoki iho ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga: --
|
26 |
Ka inoi ia ki te Atua, a ka manako tera ki a ia; heoi ka kite ia i tona mata i runga i te koa: a ka utua e ia te tika o te tangata. --
|
27 |
E waiata ana ia i te aroaro o nga tangata, e mea ana, Kua hara ahau, whakaparoritia ake e ahau te tika, a kahore he pai ki ahau: --
|
28 |
Kua whakaorangia e ia toku wairua kei riro ki te rua, a e kite toku wairua i te marama. --
|
29 |
¶ Nana, e meatia ana enei mea katoa e te Atua, e tuaruatia ana, ae, e tuatorutia ana, ki te tangata, --
|
30 |
Hei whakahoki mai i tona wairua i roto i te rua, kia whakamaramatia ai ki te marama o te ora. --
|
31 |
Kia whai whakaaro mai, e Hopa, whakarongo mai ki ahau: kati tau, a ka korero ahau. --
|
32 |
Ki te mea he kupu tau, utua mai taku: korero, ko taku hoki i pai ai kia whakatikaia tau. --
|
33 |
Ki te kahore, whakarongo ki ahau: noho puku koe, a maku koe e whakaako ki te whakaaro nui. --
