Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Ehekiera 37

Deli

Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “Poropiti ki ēnei wheua, mea atu ki a rātou, ‘E ngā wheua maroke nei, whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowā. Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā ki ēnei wheua: Nanā, ka meinga e ahau he manawa kia tomo ki roto ki a koutou, ā, ka ora koutou.

Ā, ka hoatu e ahau he uaua ki runga ki a koutou, ka whakaputaina ake he kikokiko ki a koutou, ka hīpokina koutou ki te kiri, ka hoatu anō e ahau he manawa ki roto ki a koutou, nā, ka ora koutou; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau.’ ”

Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “E te tama a te tangata, e ora rānei ēnei wheua?” Anō rā ko ahau, “E mōhio ana koe, e te Ariki, e Ihowā.”

I pā te ringa o Ihowā ki ahau, ā, kawea ana ahau, arā e tō Ihowā Wairua, tukua iho ana ahau e ia ki waenganui o te raorao; nā, kapi tonu a reira i te wheua. Nā, ka whakahāereerea ahau e ia ki te taha o aua wheua ā taka noa, taka noa; nā, he tini kē i runga i te mata o te raorao; nanā, he maroke rawa aua mea.

Heoi, poropititia ana e ahau te mea i whakahaua ki ahau; ā, i ahau e poropiti ana. Nā, he haruru, nā he rū, ā, whakatata ana ngā wheua, tōna wheua ki tōna wheua. Ā, ka titiro atu ahau, nanā, he uaua i runga i a rātou, kua puta ake he kikokiko, ā, he kiri e hīpoki ana i waho ake i a rātou. Otiia, kāhore he manawa i roto i a rātou.
