1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

2 E te tama a te tangata, meinga a Hiruharama kia mohio ki ana mea whakarihariha,

3 Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki Hiruharama: Ko tou take, ko tou wahi i whanau ai koe, ko te whenua o te Kanaani: ko te Amori tou papa, a ko tou whaea he Hiti.

4 Na, ko tou whanautanga, i te ra i whanau ai koe, kihai tou uho i tapahia, kihai ano koe i horoia ki te wai kia ma ai; kihai rawa ano koe i meatia ki te tote, kihai rawa i takaia.

5 Kihai tetahi kanohi i aroha ki a koe, kihai i meatia ki a koe tetahi o enei mea, he mahi tohu ki a koe; heoi he mea maka atu koe ki te mata o te parae, he mea whakarihariha hoki tou tinana i te ra i whanau ai koe.

6 Na, i toku haerenga atu ma tou taha, a ka kite ahau i a koe e oke ana i roto i ou toto, ka mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora; ae ra, i mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora.

7 I meinga ano koe e ahau kia tini, kia rite ki nga tupu o te mara; heoi kua tokomaha koe, kua nui, kua tae ano koe ki nga whakapaipai ataahua; kua pupuku ou u kua tupu ou makawe; i mua hoki e noho tahanga ana koe, kahore he kakahu.

8 Na, i toku haerenga atu i tou taha, ka kite ahau i a koe, na he wa no te aroha te wa i a koe; na hipokina iho e ahau te remu o toku ki runga ki a koe, uhia ana koe e ahau, i a koe e noho tahanga ana; ae ra, oati ana ahau ki a koe, uru ana taua ki te kawenata, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, a riro mai ana koe i ahau.

9 Katahi ka horoia koe e ahau ki te wai; ae ra, ata horoia atu ana e ahau ou toto i a koe; a pania ana koe e ahau ki te hinu.

10 Ko taku kakahu mou he mea whakairo; ko aku hu mou he hiako kekeno; ko taku whitiki mou he rinena pai; hipokina ana koe e ahau ki te hiraka.

11 He mea whakapaipai ano koe naku ki te whakapaipai, whakanohoia ana e ahau he poroporo ki ou ringa, he hei ki tou kaki.

12 I kuhua ano e ahau he mowhiti ki tou ihu, he whakakai ki ou taringa, he karauna ataahua ki tou mahunga.

13 Heoi kua oti koe te whakapaipai ki te koura, ki te hiriwa; he rinena pai ano hoki tou kakahu, he hiraka, he mea whakairo hoki; i kai koe i te paraoa pai, i te honi, i te hinu; nui atu tou ataahua, kake ana koe hei kingitanga.

14 Paku ana tou ingoa ki nga iwi, he ataahua nou; i tino pai rawa hoki, he honore hoki noku i tukua atu e ahau ki a koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 Otiia whakawhirinaki ana koe ki tou ataahua, kairau ana koe, he whakaaro hoki nou ki tou ingoa, ringihia ana e koe ou kairautanga ki te tangata e haere atu ana i tou taha; i a ia tena.

16 I tikina atu ano e koe etahi o ou kakahu, a mahia ana e koe au wahi tiketike, kotingotingo rawa, hei kairautanga mou: e kore he pena e puta a mua, e kore ano e pena.

17 I tikina ano e koe au mea whakapaipai, he koura naku, he hiriwa naku, ko aku i hoatu ra ki a koe, a hanga ana e koe etahi whakapakoko tane mau, hei kairautanga mou.

18 I tikina ano e koe ou kakahu whakairo, hei hipoki mo ratou, hoatu ana e koe taku hinu, me taku whakakakara ki to ratou aroaro.

19 Ko taku kai hoki, i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ko te paraoa pai, ko te hinu, ko te honi i whangaia ai koe e ahau, hoatu ana ano tera e koe ki to ratou aroaro hei kakara reka, a koia ano tera; e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

20 I tikina ano e koe au tama me au tamahine, a taua whanau, patua iho e koe hei kai ma ratou. He iti ianei ou kairautanga,

21 I patua ai e koe aku tamariki, i tukua atu ai ratou, i meatia ratou kia haere na roto i te ahi ki a ratou?

22 Na i au mea whakarihariha katoa, i ou kairautanga, kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou tamahinetanga, i a koe e noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu, i a koe i oke ra i roto i ou toto.

23 Na i muri i tou he katoa; aue, te mate mou, aue, te mate mou! e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,

24 Kei te hanga koe i te whare tairanga mou, mahia ana e koe he wahi tiketike mou i nga waharoa katoa.

25 Kua hanga ano e koe tau wahi tiketike ki nga ahunga katoa o nga ara, meinga ana e koe tou ataahua kia whakariharihangia, whewhera tonu ou waewae ki nga tangata e haere ana i tou taha, whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga.

26 Kua kairau ano koe ki nga Ihipiana, ki ou hoa tata, he hunga kikokiko nui; whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga, hei whakapataritari i ahau.

27 Na reira, nana, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki runga ki a koe, kua whakaititia ano e ahau nga kai i rite mau, a hoatu ana koe e ahau ki ta ou hoariri i pai ai, ki nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, e whakama nei ki tou ara puremu.

28 I kairau ano koe ki nga Ahiriana, he kore hoki nou e ngata; ina, kairau ana koe ki a ratou, otiia kihai koe i ngata.

29 Kua whakamaha ano e koe ou kairautanga ki te whenua o Kanaana a Karari atu ana; heoi kihai ano i ngata i tenei.

30 Ano te ngoikore o tou ngakau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, i tau mahinga i enei mea katoa, he mahi na te wahine kairau, na te mea taikaha;

31 I tau hanganga i tou whare tairanga ki te ahunga mai o nga ara katoa, i tau mahinga i tau wahi tiketike ki nga waharoa katoa; kihai tau i rite ki ta te wahine kairau, e whakahawea ana hoki koe ki te utu;

32 He wahine moe hoa, i puremu! e tuku mai ana i nga tangata ke ehara nei i te hoa nona!

33 E hoatu ana e ratou he mea ki nga wahine kairau katoa: ko koe ia e hoatu ana i ou taonga ki te hunga katoa e hiahia ana ki a koe, a utua ana ratou e koe, he mea kia haere mai ai ratou ki a koe i nga taha katoa ki ou kairautanga.

34 He rere ke hoki tau i ta etahi wahine i ou kairautanga, ina kahore tetahi e aru ana i a koe, kairau ai: i te mea hoki ka hoatu e koe he utu, a kahore he utu e homai ki a koe, na ka rere ke tau.

35 Mo reira whakarongo, e te wahine kairau, ki te kupu a Ihowa.

36 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa. Na kua ringihia atu na tou weriweri, kua kitea ano koe e noho tahanga ana i ou kairautanga ki te hunga i hiahia ki a koe; a he mea ki au whakapakoko whakarihariha katoa, ki te toto hoki o au tamariki i hoatu na e koe ki a ratou;

37 Mo reira ka huihuia katoatia e ahau te hunga katoa i hiahia ki a koe, au i ahuareka ai, ratou ko te hunga katoa i aroha ai koe, ko te hunga katoa hoki i kino ai koe; ina, ka huihuia ratou e ahau ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ka whakakite a ano koe e ahau ki a ratou e noho tahanga ana, kia kite ai ratou i ou wahi katoa e takoto kau ana.

38 Na ko taku whakawa i a koe ka rite ki te whakawa o nga wahine kua takahi i te ture marena, o nga wahine kua whakaheke toto; a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te toto o te weriweri, o te hae.

39 Ka tukua ano koe e ahau ki to ratou ringa, a ka whakahoroa e ratou tou whare tairanga, ka wahia au wahi tiketike; ka huia atu ano ou kakahu, ka tangohia au mea whakapaipai, a ka waiho koe kia noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu.

40 Ka kawea mai ano e ratou he ropu hei whawhai ki a koe, a ka akina koe ki te kohatu, ka werohia ki a ratou hoari, puta rawa.

41 Ka tahuna ano e ratou ou whare ki te ahi, ka mahia ano he whakaritenga ki a koe i te tirohanga a nga wahine tokomaha; a ka meinga e ahau kia mutu ou kairautanga, e kore ano he utu e hoatu e koe a muri ake nei.

42 Heoi ka ngata i kona toku riri ki a koe, ka tahuri atu toku hae i a koe, a ka ata noho ahau, e kore ano e riri ki a koe a muri ake nei.

43 No te mea kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, heoi whakaporeareatia ana ahau e koe ki enei mea katoa; mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i tou tikanga ki runga ki tou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; e kore ano tenei weriweri e honoa iho e koe ki au mea whakarihariha katoa.

44 Nana, ko te hunga katoa e korero ana i nga whakatauki, ko ta ratou whakatauki tenei mou, e mea nei, kei te whaea tonu te rite o tana tamahine.

45 Ko koe te tamahine a tou whaea, e anuanu ra ki tana tahu, ki ana tamariki hoki; a ko koe te teina o ou tuakana, i whakarihariha nei ki a raua tahu, ki a raua tamariki hoki: he Hiti to koutou whaea, he Amori to koutou papa.

46 Na ko Hamaria tou tuakana, e noho nei i tou taha maui, ratou ko ana tamahine: a, ko tou teina, e noho na i tou taha matau, ko Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine.

47 Heoi kihai koe i haere i runga i o raua ara, kihai ano tau mahi i rite ki a raua mea whakarihariha; engari, me te mea nei he mea iti rawa tera, neke noa atu tou tutua i to ratou i ou ara katoa.

48 E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kihai te mahi a tou teina, a Horoma, ratou ko ana tamahine i rite ki tau mahi, ki tau, ki ta au tamahine.

49 Nana, ko te he tenei o tou teina, o Horoma; he whakapehapeha i roto i a ia, i a ratou ko ana tamahine, he takapu ki i te taro, he ngakau warea i te nui taonga; kihai hoki ia i whakau ake i nga ringa o te ware, o te rawakore.

50 A i whakakake ratou, i mahi hoki i te mea whakarihariha ki toku aroaro: no reira i unuhia atu ai ratou e ahau, kei taku i kite ai he pai.

51 Kihai hoki o Hamaria i rite ki te hawhe o ou hara; engari i whakanuia atu e koe au mea whakarihariha i a ratou, ka ai hoki au mea whakarihariha katoa i mahia e koe hei whakatika mo ta tou tuakana, mo ta tou teina.

52 Na ko koe, whakawaha e koe tou na whakama, nau na i whakatika tou teina, tou tuakana; na ou hara i hara ai koe, he nui atu nei te whakarihariha i o raua, ka nui atu to raua tika i tou: ae ra, kia numinumi hoki koe, kia waha i tou whakama, kua wh akatikaia na hoki e koe ta tou teina, ta tou tuakana.

53 Na ka whakahokia raua e ahau i te whakarau, a Horoma, me ana tamahine i te whakarau, a Hamaria me ana tamahine i te whakarau, ko ou whakarau i te whakarau, i roto i a ratou:

54 Kia mau ai ki a koe tou whakama, kia numinumi kau ai mo nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, i a koe ka waiho na hei whakamanawatanga mo ratou.

55 Ka hoki tou teina, a Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine, ki to ratou tu o mua, a ka hoki a Hamaria ratou ko ana tamahine ki to ratou tu o mua, ka hoki ano koutou ko au tamahine ki to koutou tu o mua.

56 Kihai na hoki tou teina, a Horoma, i rangona i roto i tou mangai i te ra i tou whakakake,

57 I te mea kiano tou he i hurahia, i te wa iara o te tawainga a nga tamahine a Hiria, a te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini e whakahawea na ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

58 Kua mau ki a koe tou he, me au mea whakarihariha, e ai ta Ihowa.

59 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko taku mahi ki a koe ka rite ki tau mahi; kua whakahawea na hoki koe ki te oati, whakataka ana e koe te kawenata.

60 Otiia ka mahara ano ahau ki taku kawenata ki a koe i nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, ka pumau ano i ahau he kawenata ki a koe a ake ake.

61 Hei reira ka mahara koe ki ou ara, ka whakama, ina riro i a koe ou tuakana, tou teina; a ka hoatu raua e ahau ki a koe hei tamahine, otiia ehara i te mea na tau kawenata.

62 Ka pumau ano i ahau taku kawenata ki a koe, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau;

63 Kia mahara ai, kia numinumi kau ai koe, kia kaua ai hoki e puaki tou mangai i muri iho, mo tou whakama hoki; ina marie ahau ki a koe, ki nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

1 Again the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations; 3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite. 4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 5 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born.

6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, Though thou art in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, Though thou art in thy blood, live. 7 I caused thee to multiply as that which groweth in the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare. 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine. 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk. 11 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 12 And I put a ring upon thy nose, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate. 14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.

15 But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was. 16 And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colors, and playedst the harlot upon them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. 17 Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them; 18 and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them. 19 My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savor; and thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah. 20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter, 21 that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire unto them? 22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood.

23 And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah), 24 that thou hast built unto thee a vaulted place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street. 25 Thou hast built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom. 26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger. 27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way. 28 Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied. 29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom unto the land of traffic, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

30 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an impudent harlot; 31 in that thou buildest thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street, and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire. 32 A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband! 33 They give gifts to all harlots; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms. 34 And thou art different from other women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to play the harlot; and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art different.

35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah: 36 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, that thou didst give unto them; 37 therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. 38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy. 39 I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare. 40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more. 42 So will I cause my wrath toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry. 43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness with all thine abominations.

44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 45 Thou art the daughter of thy mother, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways. 48 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done. 52 Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

53 And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them; 54 that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate. 56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 57 before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, that do despite unto thee round about. 58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith Jehovah. 59 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. 61 Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. 62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; 63 that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
