TSK · Heremaia 45:3

Na ka haea e Hakopa ona kakahu, ka kakahuria e ia tona hope ki te kakahu taratara, a he maha nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tana tama.

Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, He aha koe i whakatupu kino ai i tau pononga? he aha ahau te manakohia ai e koe, i whakawaha ai e koe tenei iwi katoa ki ahau?

Kua tukua ahau e te Atua ki te hunga he, whakarerea putia ana ahau ki nga ringa o te hunga kino.

Mauiui iho ahau i toku auetanga; e manu ana toku moenga i ahau a pau noa te po; e whakamakukuria ana e ahau toku takotoranga ki oku roimata.

Kua ngohe ahau, me i kaua ahau i whakapono, tera ahau e kite i te pai o te Atua i te whenua o te ora.

Kua ruwha ahau i taku tangi; kua maroke toku korokoro: pakoko kau oku kanohi i ahau e tatari nei ki toku Atua.

¶ Aue, toku mate, to te manene i Meheke, toku hoki e noho nei i nga teneti o Kerara!

Aue, te taea te whakamarie te pouri i ahau! e ngohe nei te ngakau i roto i ahau.

¶ Aue, toku mate, e toku whaea, i whanau mai ahau i roto i koe he tangata totohe, he tangata ngangare ki te whenua katoa! kihai ahau i whakatarewa atu i te moni whakatupu, kihai ano te moni whakatupu i whakatarewaina mai ki ahau; otiia kei te kang a ratou katoa ki ahau.

Kua tukua iho nei e ia i runga, he ahi ki oku wheua, a e wera ana i tera: kua horahia e ia he kupenga mo oku waewae, kua whakahokia ahau ki muri; kua tukua ahau e ia ki te kahore, ki te whakaruhi, a pau noa te ra.

¶ Ko ahau te tangata kua kite i te pouri, he mea na te rakau o tona riri.

¶ Na konei, i te mea kei a matou tenei mahi minita, i te mea ka tohungia nei matou, kahore matou e ngakaukore;

A kaua tatou e ngakaukore ki te mahi i te pai: tena tona wa e rite ai ka kokoti tatou ki te kahore tatou e ngoikore.

Whakaaroa hoki ia i whakamanawanui nei ki taua totohe nui a te hunga hara ki a ia, kei hoha o koutou ngakau, kei ngakaukore koutou.
