Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

142  He Makiri na Rawiri; he inoi i a ia i roto i te ana. He karanga ta toku reo ki a Ihowa; he inoi ta toku reo ki a Ihowa.

² Horahia ana taku inoi ki tona aroaro; whakaaturia ana e ahau toku mate ki tona aroaro.

³ I te ngaromanga o toku wairua i roto i ahau i matau koe ki toku ara: kua whakatakotoria pukutia e ratou te mahanga moku i te ara i haere ai ahau.

⁴ Titiro ki toku taha matau, kia kite; kahore hoki tetahi tangata e mohio ana ki ahau; kahore he piringa moku; kahore tetahi e mahara ana ki toku wairua.

⁵ I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku piringa, toku wahi i te whenua o te hunga ora.

⁶ Tahuri mai ki taku karanga: kua whakaititia rawatia hoki ahau: whakaorangia ahau i oku kaitukino: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.

⁷ Whakaputaina toku wairua i te herehere, kia whakamoemiti ai ahau ki tou ingoa: ka karapotia ahau e te hunga tika; nou ka atawhai nei i ahau.

¹² Aue, te mate mo te tangata e hanga ana i te pa ki te toto, e whakau ana hoki i te pa ki te he!

¹³ He teka ianei na Ihowa o nga mano i mauiui ai nga tangata i roto i te ahi, i ruha ai nga iwi i te kahore noa iho?

¹⁴ Ka kapi hoki te whenua i te matauranga ki te kororia o Ihowa, ano ko nga wai e taupoki ana i te moana.

¹⁵ Aue, te mate mo te tangata e mea ana i tona hoa kia inu, e apiti atu ana i te mea nanakia ki tera, e whakahaurangi ana hoki i a ia, kia titiro ai koe ki a ratou e takoto tahanga ana!

¹⁶ E ki ana koe i te whakama, kahore i te kororia: e inu hoki koe, kia waiho ai koe, ano he mea kokotikore: ka anga mai ki a koe te kapu a to Ihowa ringa matau, a he whakama whakarihariha ka tau ki runga ki tou kororia.

¹⁷ Ko te mahi nanakia hoki ki Repanona hei taupoki mou, me te whakangaromanga o nga kararehe i wehingia ra e ratou; mo te toto hoki o nga tangata, mo te mahi nanakia ki te whenua, ki te pa, ki nga tangata ano o reira.

¹⁸ He aha te pai o te whakapakoko i whaoa ai e tona kaihanga; o te whakapakoko whakarewa ano, o te kaiwhakaako ki te teka, i whakawhirinaki ai tona kaihanga ki tana mahi, ka mahi i nga whakapakoko wahangu?

¹⁹ Aue, te mate mo te tangata e mea ana ki te rakau, Maranga; ki te kohatu reokore, E ara! ma tenei koia e whakaako? Nana, kua oti te koura, te hiriwa, te whakapiri ki a ia, a kahore rawa he wairua i roto.

²⁰ Kei tona temepara tapu ia a Ihowa. Whakarongoa, e te whenua katoa, i tona aroaro.

⁹ I tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou i roto i te pukapuka, kia kaua e whakahoa ki nga tangata puremu:

¹⁰ Ehara ia i te mea rawa mo te hunga puremu o tenei ao, mo te hunga apo, hao taonga, karakia whakapakoko; penei me haere atu koutou ki waho o te ao:

¹¹ Engari inaianei ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, kia kaua e whakahoa, ki te mea tetahi e kiia nei he teina he tangata moepuku, he apo ranei, e karakia ana ranei ki te whakapakoko, he tangata taunu ranei, he haurangi, he hao taonga ranei; kaua r awa koutou ko taua tu tangata e kai tahi.

¹² Hei aha ra maku te whakawa i te hunga o waho? e kore koia koutou e whakawa i te hunga o roto,

¹³ A ko te hunga o waho ma te Atua ratou e whakawa? Na motuhia atu taua tangata kino i roto i a koutou.
