TSK · Ihaia 42:19

¶ Ano ra ko ia, Haere, mea atu ki tenei iwi, Rongo noa koutou, e kore e matau; titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite.

¶ E tu koutou, e miharo; e hari, a ka matapo: e haurangi ana ratou, ehara ia i te waina; e hurori ana, engari ehara i te wai kaha.

Mana pu i a ia te kupu a tana pononga, te whakaaro a ana karere rite rawa i a ia; ko tana kupu ki Hiruharama, Ka nohoia koe; ki nga pa o Hura, Ka hanga koutou; maku ano e whakaara ona wahi kua ururuatia.

He wairangi hoki taku iwi, kahore e mohio ki ahau: he tamariki kuware, kahore o ratou matauranga; e mohio ana ratou ki te mahi kino, ki te mahi pai ia kahore he matauranga.

E te tama a te tangata, kei te noho koe i waenganui i te whare whakakeke, he kanohi nei o ratou hei titiro, heoi kahore e titiro, he taringa o ratou e rongo ai, heoi kahore e rongo; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.

Waiho atu ratou: he matapo ratou e arahi ana i te matapo. Ki te arahina te matapo e te matapo, ka taka tahi raua ki te waikeri.

Ka mohio a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, he aha koutou ka korerorero ai no te mea kahore a koutou taro? kiano koutou i matau noa, kiano i mahara? e pakeke tonu ana ano ranei o koutou ngakau?

¶ Katahi a Ihu ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki tenei ao ki te whakarite whakawa, he mea e kite ai te hunga kahore nei i kite; e whakamatapotia ai hoki te hunga e kite ana.

I whakamatapotia e ia o ratou kanohi, i whakapakeketia o ratou ngakau; kei kite o ratou kanohi, kei matau hoki o ratou ngakau, kei tahuri ratou, a ka whakaorangia e ahau.

Ha, he pehea ra? Ko ta Iharaira e rapu nei, kihai tenei i taea e ia; otira kua taea e te hunga whiriwhiri, ko era atu ia i whakapakeketia:

Otira i whakapakeketia o ratou hinengaro: no te mea taea noatia mai tenei ra i te korerotanga o te kawenata tawhito e mau tonu ana taua hipoki ra ano, kahore ano i hurahia; i roto ia i a te Karaiti ka whakakahoretia.
