TSK · 2 Hamuera 24:14

Na ka haere atu a Ihowa i tona aroaro, a ka karangatia, Ko Ihowa, ko Ihowa, ko te Atua tohu, atawhai, he tukuroa nei i te riri, he nui nei te aroha, te pono,

Na, i te marangatanga o te kaimahi a te tangata a te Atua i te ata tu, i te putanga ki waho, na, he taua e karapoti ana i te pa, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata. Na ka mea tana tangata ki a ia, Aue, e toku ariki, me aha tatou?

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Kara, He noa iho oku whakaaro; na kia taka ahau ki te ringa o Ihowa, he nui hoki ana mahi aroha; kaua hoki ahau e taka ki te ringa tangata.

¶ Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri, i te taenga o Natana poropiti ki a ia, mo tona haerenga ki a Patehepa. Tohungia ahau, e te Atua, kia rite ki tou atawhai: kia rite ki tou aroha nui te murunga o oku he.

Ko koe ia, e te Ariki, he Atua atawhai, he tohu tangata: he puhoi ki te riri, e hua ana te mahi tohu me te pono.

A tukua ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o nga tauiwi; waiho ana te hunga i kino ki a ratou hei rangatira mo ratou.

Otira he muru hara tau, e wehingia ai koe.

¶ Ko te tangata tika e whakaaro ana ia ki te ora o tana kararehe; he nanakia ia nga mahi atawhai a te hunga kino.

Kia whakarere te tangata kino i tona ara, te tangata mahi he i ona whakaaro; kia hoki ki a Ihowa, a ka aroha ia ki a ia; ki to tatou Atua hoki, he nui rawa hoki tana mahi tohu.

He mahi tohu na Ihowa te poto ai tatou, he kore no ana mahi aroha e mutu.

A ka inoi ia, ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Aue, e Ihowa, he teka ianei ko taku tenei i mea ai i ahau ano i toku whenua? Na reira ahau i rere wawe ai ki Tarahihi; i mohio hoki ahau he Atua atawhai koe, he tohu tangata, he puhoi ki te riri, he nui te aroha, e puta ke ana te whakaaro mo te kino.

Tera ia e tahuri ano, ka aroha ki a tatou; ka pehia e ia o tatou kino ki raro ki ona waewae; ka panga ano e koe o ratou hara ki nga rire o te moana.

¶ Kua pouri tenei toku wairua; a kia pehea atu ahau? E Pa, whakaorangia ahau i tenei wa: otira ko te mea tenei i haere mai ai ahau ki tenei wa.
