| 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.
