- A muri iho i enei mea, na ka korerotia mai ki a Hohepa, Nana, e mate ana to papa: na, ka tango ia i ana tamariki tokorua, i a Manahe raua ko Eperaima, hei hoa mona.
- 2
- A ka korerotia atu ki a Hakopa, ka meatia atu, Na, ko Hohepa ko to tamaiti tenei te haere mai nei ki a koe: na, whakakaha ake a Iharaira i a ia, a ka noho ki runga i te moenga.
- 3
- Na, ka mea mai a Hakopa ki a Hohepa, I puta mai te Atua Kaha rawa ki a au i Rutu i te whenua o Kanaana, a i manaaki i a au,
- 4
- I mea mai ano hoki ki a au, Na, ka meinga koe e ahau kia hua, a ka whakanui i a koe, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei huinga iwi; a ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri i muri i a koe hei kāinga pumau.
- 5
- Na, o tamariki tokorua, a Eperaima raua ko Manahe, i whanau nei mau ki te whenua o Ihipa i mua ake o taku taenga mai ki a koe ki Ihipa, maku ena; ka riro mai raua i a au, ka pera ano me Reupena raua ko Himeona.
- 6
- A, to whanau e whanau mau i muri iho i a raua, mau ena; ka karangatia ki a ratou te ingoa o o ratou tuakana i to ratou kāinga pumau.
- 7
- Ko au hoki, i taku haerenga mai i Parana, ka mate a Rahera ki toku taha, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki te ara, i te mea he nohinohi te wahi e haere ai ki Eparata: a tanumia ana e ahau ki reira ki te ara ki Eparata, ara, ki Pete-rehema.
- 8
- A ka kite a Iharaira i nga tamariki a Hohepa, na, ka mea atu, Ko wai enei?
- 9
- A ka mea mai a Hohepa ki tona papa, Ko aku tamariki enei i homai e te Atua ki a au i konei. A ka mea atu ia, Nekehia mai nei ki a au, kia manaaki ai ahau i a raua.
- 10
- A he atarua nga kanohi o Iharaira, na te koroheke hoki, kihai ia i ahei te kite atu. Na, ka whakatata mai ia i a raua ki a ia; a ka kihi ia i a raua, ka awhi hoki i a raua.
- 11
- Na, ka mea atu a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kihai ahau i mea ka kite ahau i tou mata: a kua whakakitea mai nei ano hoki e te Atua ou uri ki a au.
- 12
- Na, ka nekehia atu raua e Hohepa i roto i ona turi, a ka piko iho tona mata ki te whenua.
- 13
- Na, ka puritia atu raua e Hohepa, a Eperaima e tona ringa matau ki te maui o Iharaira, me Manahe e tona maui ki te matau o Iharaira, a ka whakatata atu ia i a raua ki a ia.
- 14
- Na, ka torona mai tona ringa matau e Iharaira, a whakatakotoria atu ana e ia ki runga ki te matenga o Eperaima, ko ia ano hoki te teina, me tona ringa maui hoki ki runga ki te mātenga o Manahe, he ata whakatakoto hoki nana i ona ringa; ko Manahe hoki te matamua.
- 15
- Na, ka manaaki ia i a Hohepa, a ka mea, Ma te Atua, i haereere nei oku mātua a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka ki tona aroaro, ma te Atua, nana nei ahau i whangai i a au i ora nei, a, taea noatia tenei ra,
- 16
- Ma te Anahera nana nei ahau i whakaora i roto i nga he katoa, e manaaki enei tamariki; a kia karangatia toku ingoa ki a raua, me te ingoa hoki o oku mātua, o Aperahama raua ko Ihaka; a kia tino nui haere raua i waenganui i te whenua.
- 17
- A te kitenga o Hohepa kua whakatakotoria e tona papa tona matau runga ki te mātenga o Eperaima, na, ka kino ki tana titiro iho: a ka puritia ake e ia te ringaringa o tona papa, kia nekehia atu e ia i te mātenga o Eperaima ki runga ki te mātenga o Manahe.
- 18
- A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Kaua e pena, e toku papa; ko te tuakana hoki tenei: whakatakotoria to matau ki runga ki tona mātenga.
- 19
- Na, ka whakakahore tona papa, a ka mea, E mohio ana ahau, e taku tamaiti e mohio ana ahau: ka whakatupu iwi ano tenei, ka nui ano hoki ia: otiia ka nui atu tona teina i a ia, a ka waiho ona uri hei iwi maha.
- 20
- Na, ka manaaki ia i a raua i taua rangi, a ka mea, Ko koe ta Iharaira manaakitanga, a ka korerotia, Kia meinga koe e te Atua kia rite ki a Eperaima, kia rite hoki ki a Manahe: na, ka maka e ia a Eperaima ki mua i a Manahe.
- 21
- Na, ka mea mai a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Ka mate tenei ahau: a ka tata mai te Atua ki a koutou, ka whakahoki atu hoki i a koutou ki te whenua o o koutou mātua.
- 22
- Na, kotahi te wahi ka hoatu nei e ahau mou, e hira ake ai tou i to ou tuakana, ko taku hoki i tango ai i nga Amori ki taku hoari ki taku kopere.
