TSK · Ihaia 9:2

Keiwha haere, ahau ki te wahi e kore nei ahau e hoki mai, ki te whenua o te pouri, o te atarangi o te mata;

Ae, ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa o te atarangi o te mate, kahore he kino e wehi ai ahau: no te mea kei toku taha koe; ko tau rakau, ko tau tokotoko, ko ena hei oranga ngakau moku.

Whakaputaina mai ana ratou e ia i te pouri, i te atarangi o te mate; motumotuhia ana o ratou here.

¶ Ko wai o koutou e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e rongo ana ki te reo o tana pononga; ko te tangata e haere ana i te pouri, kahore hoki he whakamarama, kia okioki ia ki te ingoa o Ihowa, kia taupuhipuhi atu ki tona Atua.

E kore te ra e waiho i muri hei whakamarama mou i te awatea; na, ko te marama e tiaho nei, e kore tera e whakamarama i a koe; ko Ihowa hoki hei whakamarama mou ake ake, ko tou Atua hoki hei whakakororia i a koe.

Kei whakamanamana ki ahau e toku hoariri; ki te hinga ahau, ka ara ano ahau; ki te noho ahau i te pouri, ko Ihowa hei whakamarama moku.

He mea hoki na te aroha, na te mahi tohu a to tatou Atua; na reira hoki i puta mai ai te puaotanga o runga ki a tatou,

¶ I ki atu ano a Ihu ki a ratou, i mea, Ko ahau te whakamarama o te ao: ki te aru tetahi i ahau, e kore ia e haere i te pouri, engari ka whiwhi ki te marama o te ora.

Kua tae mai nei ahau hei whakamarama mo te ao, kei noho i te pouri tetahi e whakapono ana ki ahau.

Ko nga mea katoa hoki e whakahengia ana, ma te marama e whakakite: he marama hoki nga mea katoa e whakakitea ana.

¶ Ko te korero ano tenei i rongo ai matou ki a ia, a ka korerotia atu nei e matou ki a koutou, na, he marama te Atua, kahore rawa hoki he pouri i a ia.
