He Aha Ta Te Paipera E Kii Ana Mo Te Manawanui? — Karakia me te Whakaaro Ariki · Nga Karaipiture KJV me nga Nama a Strong

Ko akuanei koe ka hiahia ki te manawanui. Ehara i te mea ko apopo anake, engari ko akuanei tonu; no te mea ehara i te whakapaipai mo etahi, engari he mea tika mo te katoa. Ko te whakamatautauranga o to whakapono te taonga mahi e whakaputa ana i taua manawanui, na reira kia harikoa koe ina tae mai te whakamatautau, a tukua te manawanui kia whakaoti i tana mahi tino tika — kaua e whakapoto i te mahi ma te whakarere. Kua mahia e koe ta te Atua i pai ai; tatari inaianei ki te kupu whakaari, no te mea he mokowhiti kei waenganui i te mahinga me te whiwhinga, a ko te manawanui te mea e kawe ana i a koe ki tera taha. Whakahaerea to omanga ki te manawanui, a whakarerea atu te taimaha. Tatari ki a Ihowa, a ka whakahoutia e ia tou kaha; okioki ki roto i a ia, kaua hoki e mapouri mo te tangata e whai rawa ana i tana ara. Ka tatari te kaimahi whenua mo te hua utu nui, a he nui tona manawanui mo tera, kia tae mai ra ano te ua; waihoki tatari koe. Ka tae mai te tangata e haere mai nei, e kore ia e whakaroa, a ko tou karauna he karauna ora. Rapua kia kitea.

E te Ariki, ko koe te Atua o te manawanui, ā, e homai ana e koe tēnei ki te hunga e īnoi ana. E hiahia ana ahau ki te manawanui i tēnei rā; mahia tēnei i roto i ahau puta i te whakamatautauranga o taku whakapono, ā, tukua kia oti tāna mahi tino tika, kia tino tika ai ahau, kia tino rite, kia kore e hapa i tētahi mea. Whakaakona ahau ki te oma i taku omanga i runga i te manawanui, ki te whakarere atu i nga taimaha katoa; whakaakona ahau ki te tatari ki a koe, kia whakahoungia ai toku kaha; ki te okioki ki roto i a koe, kia kore ai ahau e pōuri mō te tangata e whai rawa ana i tōna huarahi. Ina roa te whakaaetanga, kaua ahau e tukua kia whakarere; nō te mea e tatari ana te kaimahi māra ki te hua utu nui, kia tae mai rā anō te ua. Nā, i te mea ka matao haere te aroha o te tokomaha, homai ki ahau te manawanui kia mau tonu ai ahau a te mutunga, kia kore ai ahau e mahana-mahana noa — kia kore ai ahau e hoki whakamuri, engari kia whakapono ahau, ā, kia ora ai toku wairua, kia kitea hoki he pono ahau i tō taenga mai. Nā reira whakatikangia toku ngākau ki te aroha o te Atua, ki te tatari manawanui hoki mō a te Karaiti; ā, ina whakamatautauria ahau, kia riro mai i ahau te karauna o te ora, tāu i kī ai ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe. Āmine.
