Chapter 12

 1 A i taua ra ka mea koe, Ka whakamoemiti atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: ahakoa hoki i riri koe ki ahau, kua tahuri atu tou riri, a kei te whakamarie koe i ahau.

 2 Nana, ko te Atua toku whakaoranga; ka whakawhirinaki ahau, e kore ano e wehi; ko te Ariki hoki, ko IHOWA toku kaha, taku waiata, ko ia ano hei whakaoranga moku.

 3 Na ka utu wai koutou i runga i te koa i roto i nga puna o te whakaoranga;

 4 Ka mea ano hoki i taua ra, Whakamoemititia a Ihowa, karanga atu ki tona ingoa; whakaaturia ana mahi ki roto i nga iwi; kauwhautia atu kua oti tona ingoa te whakaneke ake.

 5 Waiata ki a Ihowa, he nui noa atu hoki ana mahi: meinga kia mohiotia tenei puta noa i te ao.

 6 Hamama, kia nui te reo, e te wahine e noho ana i Hiona, he nui hoki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira i waenganui i a koe.
