1. Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakaatu ai ki ahau; nana, i hanga e ia he mawhitiwhiti i te timatanga o te pihinga ake o to muri tupu; nana, ko to muri tupu ia i muri iho i a te kingi tapahanga.
2. Na ka poto te tarutaru o te whenua te kai, ka mea ahau, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, tena ra, murua te he: ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
3. I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei; E kore e meatia, e ai ta Ihowa.
4. Ko ta te Ariki, ko ta Ihowa tenei i whakakite ai ki ahau: na kua karangatia e te Ariki, e Ihowa, he whawhai, he mea ahi, a ka pau te rire nui, a ka mea kia kainga te whenua.
5. Na ka mea ahau, Kati ra, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, ma te aha oti a Hakopa ka ara ai? he iti nei hoki ia.
6. I puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo tenei, E kore ano tenei e meatia, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
7. I whakakitea tenei e ia ki ahau: na, ko te Ariki e tu ana i runga i te taiepa, he mea paramu ki te aho, me te aho paramu i tona ringa.
8. Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe, e Amoho? Ano ra ko ahau, He aho paramu. Katahi te Ariki ka ki mai, Nana, ka iri i ahau he aho paramu i waenganui i taku iwi, i a Iharaira: e kore e whakarerea noatia iho ta ratou e ahau a mu ri ake nei.
9. A ka ururuatia nga wahi tiketike o Ihaka, ka tuheatia nga wahi tapu o Iharaira; ka whakatika atu ano ahau, me te hoari ki te whare o Ieropoama.
10. Na ka unga tangata a Amatia tohunga o Peteere ki a Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira hei ki atu, Kua whakatakotoria e Amoho he he mou i roto i te whare o Iharaira; kahore e taea e tenei whenua te waha ana kupu katoa.
11. Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Amoho, Ka mate a Ieropoama i te hoari, a ka whakaraua rawatia atu a Iharaira i to ratou oneone.
12. I mea ano a Amatia ki a Amoho, E te matakite, haere, e rere ki te whenua o Hura, ki reira kai ai i te taro mau, ki reira poropiti ai.
13. Engari kati tau poropiti ki Peteere: ko to te kingi wahi tapu hoki ia, he whare hoki no te kingitanga.
14. Na ka whakahoki a Amoho, ka mea ki a Amatia, Ehara ahau i te poropiti, ehara ano i te tama na te poropiti; engari he kaitiaki kahui ahau, he kaikikini hikamora:
15. I tikina ake hoki ahau e Ihowa i te mea e whai ana i nga hipi, i ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere, poropiti ki taku iwi, ki a Iharaira.
16. Na whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa, E mea na koe, Kaua e poropiti ki a Iharaira, kei maturuturu iho ano tetahi kupu au hei whakahe mo te whare o Ihaka.
17. No reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tera tau wahine e kairau i roto i te pa, a ka hinga au tama me au tamahine i te hoari, ka wehewehea tou oneone, mea rawa ki te aho; ka mate koe i runga i te oneone poke, ka whakaraua rawatia atu hoki a Iharaira i tona oneone.
