Iepeta Kireari Kaiwhakawā 11 1Na he tangata toa, he toa a Iepeta Kireari, he tama na tetahi wahine kairau: a na Kireara ko Iepeta. 2 Ā, whānau ake ā rāua tama tā te wahine a Kireara; ā, nō te kaumatuatanga ake o ngā tama a tana wahine, ka peia e rātou a Iepeta, ka mea ki a ia, Kāore he taonga mou i te whare o tō mātou pāpā; he tama hoki koe nā te wahine kē. 3 Na ka rere a Iepeta i ona teina, a noho ana i te whenua o Topo: na ka huihui mai etahi tangata wairangi ki a Iepeta, a haere tahi ana ratou. 4 Ā, i muri i ngā rā maha, ka whawhai ngā tamariki a Āmona ki a Iharaira. 5 A, i te whawhaitanga a nga tamariki a Amona ki a Iharaira, na ka haere nga kaumatua o Kireara ki te tiki i a Iepeta i te whenua o Topo. 6A ka mea ratou ki a Iepeta, Haere mai, a ko koe hei rangatira mo matou, kia whawhai ai tatou ki nga tamariki a Amona. 7 Nā, ka mea a Iepeta ki ngā kaumātua o Kireara, Kāore ianei koutou i kino ki ahau, i pei i ahau i roto i te whare o tōku pāpā? ā, he aha koutou i haere mai ai ki ahau i a koutou e pōuri nei? 8 Nā ka mea ngā kaumātua o Kireara ki a Iepeta, Koia mātou ka hoki mai nei ki a koe inaianei, kia haere tahi tātou ki te whawhai ki ngā tamariki a Āmona, ā, ko koe hei upoko mō mātou, mō ngā tāngata katoa o Kireara. 9 Na ka mea a Iepeta ki nga kaumatua o Kireara, Ki te whakahokia ahau e koutou ki te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona, a ka homai ratou e Ihowa ki ahau, tera ranei ahau e waiho hei upoko mo koutou? 10 Na ka mea nga kaumatua o Kireara ki a Iepeta, Ko Ihowa hei kaititiro mo tatou; ki te kore e rite ki tau kupu ta matou e mea ai. 11 Na ka haere tahi a Iepeta me nga kaumatua o Kireara, a ka meinga ia e te iwi hei upoko, hei rangatira mo ratou: a ka korerotia e Iepeta ana kupu katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa ki Mihipa. 12 Ua tono atura Iepheta i te vea i te arii o te mau tamarii a Amona, na ô atura, Eaha ta oe i parau mai ia ’u nei, i haere mai ai oe e aro mai ia ’u i to ’u nei fenua?

13 Na ka whakahoki te kingi o nga tamariki a Amona ki nga karere a Iepeta, Na Iharaira hoki i tango toku whenua i to ratou haerenga mai i Ihipa, i Aranona a tae noa ki Iapoko, ki Horano: na reira whakahokia mai aua whenua i runga i te rangimarie. 14 Na ka tono tangata ano a Iepeta ki te kingi o nga tamariki a Amona: 15. A ka mea ia ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Iepeta, Kihai i tangohia e Iharaira te whenua o Moapa, te whenua ranei o nga tamariki a Amona: 16 Engari i te haerenga mai o Iharaira i Ihipa, a ka haereerea e ratou te koraha a tae noa ki te Moana Whero, a ka tae ki Karehe; 17 Katahi ka tono tangata a Iharaira ki te kingi o Eroma, hei mea, Tukua ahau kia tika atu ma tou whenua; heoi kihai te kingi o Eroma i pai ki te whakarongo. I tono tangata ano ratou ki te kingi o Moapa: a kihai ia i pai. Na noho ana a Iharaira ki Karehe. 18 Katahi ratou ka haere i te koraha, ka taiawhio i te whenua o Eroma, me te whenua o Moapa, a ka tae ki te taha rawhiti o te whenua o Moapa, ka noho ki tera taha o Aranona, kihai ia i tae ki roto ki te rohe o Moapa: ko Aranona hoki te rohe o Moapa. 19 Na ka tono karere a Iharaira ki a Hihona kingi o nga Amori, kingi o Hehepona; a ka mea a Iharaira ki a ia, Tukua matou kia tika atu ma tou whenua ki toku wahi. 20 Heoi kihai a Hihona i tuku i a Iharaira kia tika mā tōna rohe: na huihuia ana e Hihona tona iwi katoa, a noho ana ki Iahata; na ka whawhai ia ki a Iharaira. 21 Nā, ka homai e Ihowā, e te Atua o Iharaira a Hihona me tōna iwi katoa ki te ringa o Iharaira: a patua iho rātou e rātou: a tangohia ana e Iharaira te whenua katoa o ngā Amori, o ngā tāngata o taua whenua. 22 I tangohia hoki e rātou ngā rohe katoa o ngā Amori; i Aranona tae noa ki Iapoko, i te koraha tae noa ki Horano. 23 Nā, kua peia e Ihowā, e te Atua o Iharaira ngā Amori i te aroaro o tana iwi, o Iharaira, ā, me tango rānei e koe? 24 E kore ianei koe e tango i ngā mea e homai ana e tōu atua, e Kemoho, ki a koe hei taonga? ā, ko te hunga e peia ana e Ihowā, e tō mātou Atua, i tō mātou aroaro, ka riro mai i a mātou. 25 Ā, he pai ake rānei tōu i a Paraka tama a Tiporo kingi o Moapa? i tohe rānei ia ki a Iharaira, i whawhai rānei ki a rātou? 26 I a Iharaira e noho ana i Hehepona, i ona pa ririki, i Aroere hoki, i ona pa ririki, i nga pa katoa i nga taha o Aranona, e toru rau nga tau? he aha ra te tangohia ai e koutou i taua wa? 27 Na reira kahore oku hara ki a koe, engari e he ana tau mahi ki ahau, tau whawhai ki ahau: ma Ihowa, ma te Kaiwhakawa e whakawa i tenei ra i waenganui i nga tamariki a Iharaira me nga tamariki a Amona. 28 Heoi kihai i rongo te kingi o nga tamariki a Amona ki nga kupu a Iepeta i tukua atu ai ki a ia. 29 Na ka tau te Wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a Iepeta, a ka haere ia puta noa i Kireara, i Manahi, i haere hoki puta noa i Mihipe o Kireara, a haere ana i Mihipe o Kireara ki nga tamariki a Amona. 30 Na ka oati a Iepeta ki a Ihowa, ka mea ia, Ki te tino homai e koe nga tamariki a Amona ki toku ringa, 31 Na, ko te mea e puta mai ana i nga tatau o toku whare ki te whakatau i ahau, ina hoki mai ahau i runga i te rangimarie i nga tama a Amona, ma Ihowa tena, a ka whakaekea e ahau hei tahunga tinana. 32 Na ka haere a Iepeta ki nga tamariki a Amona ki te whawhai ki a ratou; a ka homai ratou e Ihowa ki tona ringa. 33 Nā, tukitukia ana rātou e ia, i Aroere atu, ā tae noa koe ki Miniti, e rua tekau ngā pā, ki te mania anō hoki o ngā māra waina, he nui rawa te patunga. Nā, kua hinga ngā tamariki a Āmona i te aroaro o ngā tamariki a Iharaira. 34 Na ka haere a Iepeta ki tona whare ki Mihipa, na, ko te putanga mai o tana tamahine ki te whakatau i a ia me te timipera, me te kanikani: ko tana tamaiti kotahi ia; kahore atu hoki ana tama, tamahine ranei, ko ia anake.

35 A, no tona kitenga i a ia, ka haehae i ona kakahu, ka mea, Aue, e taku tamahine, kua meinga ahau e koe kia pouri rawa, kei roto hoki koe i te hunga e raru ai ahau: kua puaki hoki toku mangai ki a Ihowa, e kore ano hoki e taea te hoki whakamuri. 36 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E toku papa, ki te mea kua puaki tou mangai ki a Ihowa, meatia ki ahau nga mea i puta mai i tou mangai; kua rapu utu nei hoki a Ihowa mou i ou hoariri, i nga tamariki a Amona. 37 Nā, ka mea ia ki tōna pāpā, Kia meatia tēnei mea ki ahau; tukua ahau kia rua ngā marama, kia piki ahau, kia heke iho i ngā maunga, kia tangi ai ki tōku wahinetanga, mātou ko ōku hoa. 38 Ā, ka mea ia, Haere. Nā, ka tukua atu ia e ia kia rua ngā marama: ā, haere ana ia, rātou ko ana hoa, ā, tangihia ana e ia tōna wahinetanga i runga i ngā maunga. 39 Ā, i te mutunga o ngā marama e rua, ka hoki ia ki tōna pāpā, ā, meatia ana e ia ki a ia tana i oati ai: kāore hoki ia i mōhio ki te tāne. He tikanga hoki tēnā i roto i a Iharaira, 40 Kia haere ngā tamāhine a Iharaira i ia tau, i ia tau, ki te tangi i te tamāhine a Iepeta Kireari, e whā ngā rā i roto i te tau.
Kaiwhakawā 12 1 Na ka huihui nga tangata o Eparaima, a ka haere ki te raki, ka mea ki a Iepeta, He aha koe i haere ai ki te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona, a kihai i karanga i a matou kia haere tahi tatou? ka tahuna e matou tou whare i runga i a koe ki te ahi. 2 Na ka mea a Iepeta ki a ratou, He nui te whawhai i waenganui i ahau ko toku iwi ki nga tamariki a Amona; a i taku karangatanga atu ki a koutou, kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau i roto i o ratou ringa. 3 Ā, i tōku kitenga kāore koutou i whakaora i ahau, i tukua atu e ahau tōku ora ki roto ki ōku ringa, ā, haere ana ki te whawhai ki ngā tamariki a Āmona, ā, homai ana rātou e Ihowā ki tōku ringa: he aha rā koutou i haere mai ai ki ahau i tēnei rā, ki te whawhai ki ahau? 4 Katahi ka huihuia e Iepeta nga tangata katoa o Kireara, a ka whawhai ki a Eparaima: a patua iho a Eparaima e nga tangata o Kireara, mo ta ratou meatanga, He rerenga koutou, e nga Kireari, no Eparaima, i roto i nga Eparaimi, i roto hoki i nga Manahi. 5 Nā, ka riro i ngā Kireari ngā whitinga o Horano i te aroaro o ngā Eparaimi: ā, i te meatanga a ngā rerenga o ngā Eparaimi, Tukua ahau kia whiti; nā ka mea ngā tāngata o Kireari ki a ia, Nō Eparaimi koe? Ā, ki tana meatanga, Kāhore; 6 Kātahi rātou ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakahuatia, Hiporete: ā, ko tāna meatanga, Hiporete: kāore hoki i taea e ia te whakahua tika. Nā, hopukia ana ia e rātou, ā, patua iho ki ngā whitinga o Horano: ā, e whā tekau mā rua mano o ngā Eparaimi i hinga i taua wā. 7 A e ono nga tau i whakarite ai a Iepeta mo Iharaira. Na ka mate a Iepeta Kireari, a tanumia ana ki tetahi o nga pa o Kireara.
Kōrero Ko te kōrero mō Iepeta , kei roto i ngā Kaiwhakawā Upoko 11 me te 12 o te Paipera Tapu a King James, tētahi o ngā kōrero tino kaha, tino uaua, tino pouri hoki o te Kawenata Tawhito. E whakaatu ana i tētahi toa toa i whakakahoretia e tōna whānau, ā, i whakatika ia ki te whakaora i a Iharaira, engari i mauheretia e tētahi oati pouri, ā, i muri mai ka uru ki tētahi pakanga ā-iwi nanakia.

11:1–3 — Te Papamuri o Iepeta me tōna Whakahekenga Ka whakaaturia a Iepeta hei "tangata toa, toa," engari he tama ia nā tētahi wahine kairau. He tama tā tōna matua, a Kireara, ā, i peia atu a Iepeta kia kore ai ia e whiwhi ki te whenua. Ka rere a Iepeta ki te whenua o Topo, ka huihui mai tētahi rōpū "tāngata wairangi" (ngā tāngata kua peia, ngā tāngata mangere rānei) ki a ia, ā, ka aru i a ia hei kaiārahi mō rātou. 11:4–11 — Ka rapu āwhina ngā kaumatua o Kireara I te pakanga a ngā Amoni ki a Iharaira, ka kite ngā kaumatua o Kireara e hiahia ana rātou ki tētahi rangatira hōia. Ka haere rātou ki te whenua o Topo ki te inoi ki a Iepeta kia ārahi i a rātou. I te tuatahi ka tū atu a Iepeta ki a rātou mō tā rātou whakakorenga o mua, engari ka whakaae rātou mēnā ka ārahi ia i a rātou ki te wikitoria, ka noho ia hei upoko mō ngā tāngata katoa o Kireara. Ka hiritia e rātou tēnei oati ki te aroaro o Ihowa i Mihipa. 11:12–28 — Ngā Whiriwhiringa ā-Tiriti me ā-Teoria a Iepeta I mua i te whawhai, ka tonoa e Iepeta ngā karere ki te kingi o ngā tama a Amona, hei pātai he aha rātou i whakaeke ai i te whenua o Iharaira. E kī ana te kingi o ngā tama a Amona i tangohia e Iharaira tō rātou whenua i te putanga mai i Ihipa. Ka whakahoki a Iepeta me te tiaki taipitopito i te hītori me te whakapono: Kāore a Iharaira i tango whenua i a Amona, i a Moapa rānei, engari i a Hihona, te kingi o ngā Amori, i tukuna e te Atua ki ō rātou ringa. Ka wero ia i te tika o ngā tama a Amona ki te amuamu i muri i te toru rau tau o te noho rangimārie, ā, ka waiho te whakawa ki a Ihowa. Kāore te kingi o ngā tama a Amona i aro ki te karere. 11:29 — Te Whakamanatanga o te Wairua "Na ka tau te wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a Iepeta." I whakamanahia e te Atua, ka haere a Iepeta puta noa i Kireara me Manahi, ka huihui i ana ope, ka haere ki nga tama a Amona. 11:30–31 — Te oati ohorere a Iepeta I mua i te pakanga, ka oati a Iepeta ki a Ihowa: ki te homai e te Atua ngā tama a Amona ki tōna ringa, ko te tangata e puta mai ana i ngā tatau o tōna whare ki te whakatau i a ia ina hoki mai ia i runga i te rangimārie, mā Ihowa ia, ā, ka whakaherea e ia hei tahunga tinana. 11:32–33 — Te Wikitōria ki a Āmona Ka haere a Iepeta ki te whawhai ki ngā Amoni. Nā te āwhina a Ihowa, ka patua e ia ngā Amoni i roto i ngā pa e rua tekau, ā, ka hinga i a ia ngā Amoni i te aroaro o ngā tamariki a Iharaira. 11:34–40 — Te Hokinga Mai ki te Kāinga me te Whakatutukitanga o te Oati Ka hoki a Iepeta ki tōna kāinga ki Mihipa. Ka puta mai tana tamaiti kotahi—tāna tamahine—ki te whakatau i a ia me te kanikani me te timipera. I te mamae o te ngākau, ka haehae a Iepeta i ōna kākahu, ka tangi i tana oati, me te mōhio kāore e taea e ia te whakakore. Ka maia tana tamahine ki te tuku, me te tono kia rua noa ngā marama hei haere ki ngā maunga me āna hoa ki te tangi i tōna wahinetanga. I muri i ngā marama e rua, ka hoki mai ia, ā, ka whakatutuki a Iepeta i tana oati ki a ia. Ka noho tēnei huihuinga hei tikanga ā-tau, e tangihia ai ia e ngā tamāhine o Iharaira mō ngā rā e whā i ia tau. Ngā Kaiwhakawā Upoko 12: Te Pakanga Ā-iwi ki a Eparaima me ngā Kaiwhakawā o muri mai

12:1–3 — Te Amui a Eparaima Ka huihui ngā tāngata whakakake o Eparaima, ka whiti ki Rakono, me te riri ki te tūtaki ki a Iepeta. Ka amuamu rātou mō tana haerenga ki te whawhai ki ngā Āmoni, kāore i karanga i a rātou kia āwhina mai, ā, ka whakawehi rātou ki te tahu i tōna whare me ia i roto. Ka whakahoki a Iepeta i karanga ia me tōna iwi kia āwhina mai i te wā e tino pōuri ana rātou, engari kāore a Eparaima i whakaora i a rātou. 12:4–6 — Te Pakanga Tūmatanui me te Whakamātautau "Shiboleth" Ka huihuia e Iepeta ngā tāne o Kireara, ka whawhai ki a Eparaima, ā, ka hinga rātou. Ka riro i ngā Kireara ngā whitinga o te awa o Horano. I te ngana o ngā Eparaima e oma ana ki te whiti whakamuri, ka whakamatautauria rātou e ngā kaitiaki mā te tono kia whakahuatia te kupu "Shiporete." Nā te mea kāore e taea e te reo Eparaima te whakahua i te oro "sh", ka whakahuatia e rātou ko "Shiporete." Mā tēnei whakamārama reo ka kitea rātou, ā, ka mate te 42,000 o ngā Eparaima. 12:7 — Te matenga o Iepeta E ono tau a Iepeta e whakarite ana mō Iharaira i mua i tōna matenga. I tanumia ia ki tētahi o ngā tāone o Kireara.
Wāhanga 2: Ngā Akoranga Matua me ngā Whakamahinga o te Oranga 1. Ka taea e te Atua te whakamahi i te hunga i peia atu, i whakakahoretia hoki Te Akoranga: I peia a Iepeta e tōna ake whānau nā tōna whakapapa, heoi i whiriwhiria ia e te Atua hei whakaora i te iwi katoa. Te Whakamahinga: Kaua rawa e tukua tō hītori, tō whānau, tō whakakorenga tangata rānei kia whakatau i tō pūmanawa. He maha ngā wā ka whakamahia e te Atua ngā tāngata e warewarehia ana, e whakakorengia ana rānei e te hapori hei whakatutuki i ngā kaupapa whakamiharo. 2. Te Hiranga o te Tiaki i ō Kupu (Te Tūponotanga o ngā Oati Whakaroa) Te Akoranga: I oati wawe a Iepeta, ā, kāore i te tika, nā te nui o te manukanuka me te hiahia nui, ā, i pā mai he aituā nui ki a ia anō. Te Whakamahinga: He nui te mana o ngā kupu. Me tūpato tātou ki ngā kupu whakaari ohorere, ki ngā whakapuakitanga kare ā-roto, ki ngā herenga rānei i mahia i raro i te pēhanga. Ko te whakapono pono e whakawhirinaki ana ki te mana rangatira o te Atua, me te kore e ngana ki te "whakapau" me te kore e whiriwhiri utu ki a Ia mā roto i ngā oati ohorere (Koheleta 5:2,5). 3. Te Mōhio ki tō Hītori me te Tū ki te Pono Te Akoranga: Ehara i te toa toa noa iho a Iepeta; he mōhiotanga hōhonu tōna ki te hītori o Iharaira me ngā mahi kawenata a te Atua ki ngā iwi huri noa. I whakamahia e ia te kōrero ā-iwi me te pono o te hītori i mua i te whakamahi i te tutu. Taupānga: Whakapūmautia koe ki te pono o te Kupu a te Atua me te ao tūturu o mua. Mā te mōhio ki te pūtake o tō whakapono ka taea e koe te whakautu ki ngā kaiwhakahē, te whakatau i ngā pakanga me te whakaaro nui, me te tū pakari ki ngā whakapae teka.

4. Te Āhua Whakangaro o te Whakapehapeha me te Whakahāwea Iwi Te Akoranga: I akiakihia ngā Ēparaima e te whakapehapeha, te hae, me te whakapehapeha ā-iwi, ā, ka hua ake he pakanga ā-iwi koretake i mate ai ngā mano tini o ngā Īharaira. Te Whakamahinga: Ka whakangaro te whakapehapeha me ngā whakataetae iti i waenga i te hunga whakapono (i roto rānei i ngā hapori me ngā whānau) i te kotahitanga o roto. Engari ko te whawhai mō te tangata ka whiwhi i te honore, i te kororia rānei, me whakatairanga tātou i te rangatiratanga o te Atua me te tautoko tahi. 5. Ngā Taputapu Tangata me te Aroha noa o te Atua Te Akoranga: Kua whakarārangihia a Iepeta ki te Whare Whakapono o te Kawenata Hou (Hiperu 11:32), heoi i kitea tōna oranga i ngā hapa nui, i ngā whakatau ohorere, me ngā pakanga nanakia a ngā iwi. Te Whakamahinga: Ka mahi te Atua mā roto i te hunga whati, te hunga hapa. Ahakoa he mamae tonu ngā hua o ā tātou kōwhiringa kino i te ao nei, ka taea e te aroha noa o te Atua te whakaora i te ngākau hihiko, ahakoa he uaua te ngākau.
Ko Iepeta i roto i te Kawenata Hou I roto i ngā Hiperu 11 — e kiia ana ko te "Whare Whakapono" — i whakahuatia a Iepeta i roto i ngā toa wahine me ngā toa nui o te hītori o te Paipera i roto i te kore tumanako. I runga i ngā hua pouri me ngā koretake o te matatika i tuhia ki tana kōrero i roto i ngā Kaiwhakawā, ko tana whakaurunga ki roto i tēnei upoko e whakarato ana i te māramatanga hohonu ki te tirohanga a te Kawenata Hou ki te whakapono, te aroha noa, me te koretake o te tangata. 1. Te Wāhi i Puta Mai ai a Iepeta i roto i ngā Hiperu 11 E whakahuatia ana a Iepeta i roto i ngā Hiperu 11:32–34 : "Ā, he aha atu anō tāku e kōrero ai? e kore hoki e roa te wā e kōrerotia ai e ahau ngā mea mō Kiriona, mō Paraka, mō Hamahona, mō Iepeta , mō Rawiri hoki, mō Hamuera, mō ngā poropiti: Nā te whakapono i hinga ai i a rātou ngā rangatiratanga, i mahi ai i te tika, i whiwhi ai ki ngā mea i whakaaria mai, i puru ai i ngā waha o ngā raiona, i tineia ai te kaha o te ahi, i mawhiti ai i te mata o te hoari, i whakakahangia ai i te ngoikore, i meinga ai kia toa i te whawhai, i whati ai ngā taua a ngā iwi ke." 2. Ngā Māramatanga Matua mai i te Tirohanga o te Kawenata Hou A. Te Whakapono i Mōhiotia i Waenganui i te Tangata Hē E whakaatu ana te Pukapuka o ngā Kaiwhakawā i tētahi wā o te hekenga wairua i roto i a Iharaira, ā, kāore te oranga o Iepeta i tino pai, i tino tika rānei. He tamaiti pōriro ia, he tangata i whakaraua, he rangatira o "ngā tāngata wairangi," he toa i oati pōrangi i mutu ki te aituā. Heoi, kāore a Hiperu 11 e whakarārangi ana i te hunga tapu i runga i te tino tika o te tikanga; engari e whakarārangi ana i a rātou i runga i te whakapono . Kāore te kaituhi o te Kawenata Hou e aro ki te whakama o te hapori, ki tōna papamuri uaua, me ōna hē whaiaro, kia kitea ai te wā i whakawhirinaki ai ia ki te Atua ki te whawhai mō Iharaira. Ko te whakamoemiti a te Atua i roto i te Kawenata Hou e ahu mai ana i te whakawhirinaki ki a Ia , ehara i te mea he tapatahi te tangata.

B. "I whakakahangia i te ngoikore" E whakarāpopoto ana a Hiperu 11:34 i ngā wheako o te tini o ngā kaiwhakawā ki te kupu: "i whakakahangia i te ngoikore." Te ngoikore o Iepeta: I tīmata ia hei tangata i peia atu i te ao tūroa e ōna ake teina (Ngā Kaiwhakawā 11:2) ā, kāore i a ia he whakapapa rangatira, he whakapapa tuku iho. Te Kaha o te Atua: I te taenga mai o te Wairua o Ihowa ki runga ki a ia (Ngā Kaiwhakawā 11:29), i hurihia tōna ngoikoretanga ā-tūroa me tōna peinga pāpori hei mana wairua me te whakaoranga hōia. Hononga ki te Kawenata Hou: E hangai tika ana tēnei ki te karakia a Paora i roto i te 2 Koriniti 12:9 ( "E ranea ana tōku aroha noa hei mea māu: ka mana hoki tōku kaha i roto i te ngoikore" ). C. Te Whakapono e Whakaaturia ana i roto i te Whakapono ā-Waha me te Whakapono Karaipiture I mua i te whawhai a Iepeta ki ngā Amoni, i uru atu ia ki tētahi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero roa i ahu mai i te hītori o Iharaira (Ngā Kaiwhakawā 11:12–27). I maia ia ki te whakapuaki ko Ihowā, ko te Atua o Iharaira, i hoatu te whenua ki tana iwi, ā, i whakaū: "ma Ihowā, ma te Kaiwhakawā e whakawa i tēnei rā i waenganui i ngā tamariki a Iharaira me ngā tamariki a Amoni." I whakakitea te whakapono o Iepeta i tōna whakapono ko te Atua anake te Kaiwhakawā nui rawa atu, te rangatira hoki o ngā rangatiratanga tangata . I roto i te Hiperu 11:33, e whakaahuatia ana tēnei āhuatanga o te whakapono hei pehi i ngā rangatiratanga , hei toa hoki i te whawhai . D. Te Mana o te Aroha noa o te Kawenata Ko te whakaurunga o ngā tāngata pēnei i a Iepeta, i a Hamahona, i a Kiriona i roto i ngā Hiperu 11 e whakaatu ana i tētahi kaupapa nui o te Kawenata Hou: te Aroha noa Whakaora . Me i whakawhirinaki te whakaoranga me te whakaae a te Atua ki te mahi parakore, kua kore a Iepeta e whai wāhi ki te rārangi. Ko tōna whakaurunga e tohu ana ki te karere o te Rongopai—arā, e mahi ana te Atua i roto i te hunga maru, te hunga pōrearea, me te hunga harakore, e tahuri ana ki a Ia me te whakawhirinaki.

3. Te Whakataurite i te Kōrero o te Kawenata Tawhito ki te Whakarāpopototanga o te Kawenata Hou Te Arotahi ki te Kawenata Tawhito (Ngā Kaiwhakawā 11–12)
Te Arotahi ki te Kawenata Hou (Hiperu 11)
Te Ao Tūturu o te Hītori me te Ao Tangata: Te tūnga peinga, te nanakia o te whanaungatanga, te oati wairangi, te mate pōuri, ngā pakanga ā-iwi.
Te Pono Wairua: Te wikitoria mā te whakawhirinaki, te wikitoria i te ngoikore, te whakawhirinaki ki te mana o te Atua.
Whakanui: Te uauatanga o te tangata me te raruraru o te wā o ngā iwi o Iharaira.
Whakanui: Te mana o te Atua e mahi ana mā te whakapono pono i roto i ngā āhuatanga uaua.
Akoranga: Ngā hua ohorere o ngā kupu wairangi me ngā pūnaha tangata pakaru.
Akoranga: He honore mutunga kore e hoatu ki te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki te Atua hei whawhai i ā rātou pakanga.
Te Whakamahinga o te Oranga mai i te Tirohanga o te Kawenata Hou Kāore te Atua e Whakamārama i a Koe mā ō Hapa Kino Rawa: E maumaharatia ana a Iepeta i roto i te Kawenata Hou mō tōna whakapono ki te mana o te Atua ki te whakaora, ehara i te mea mō tana oati ohorere. I roto i a te Karaiti, ko tō taonga tuku iho i hangaia e te whakapono me te aroha noa o te Atua, ehara i te mea mā ō hapa o mua. Te Mahi a te Whakapono i ngā Wā Tino Hapa: I noho a Iepeta i tētahi wā pōrearea i te taha morare, heoi i whakawhirinaki tonu ia ki te Atua. Kāore koe e hiahia ki tētahi taiao tino tika hei whakamahi i te whakapono pono. Arotahi ki te Kaiwhakaora, Kaua ki te Taputapu Anake: Ko te whakaurunga o Iepeta ki roto i ngā Hiperu 11 e tohu ana ki te Atua—te toa pono o te Paipera e whakamana ana i te tangata ngoikore ki te whakatutuki i Ana kupu whakaari.
