Te Whakamātau o Āperahama
1Nā, i muri i ēnei mea ka whakamātau te Atua i a Āperahama, ka mea ki a ia, “E Āperahama!”
Ka mea ia, “Tēnei ahau.”
2Nā, ka mea ia, “Kawea atu tāu tamaiti, tāu huatahi, tāu e aroha nei, a Īhaka, ā, haere ki te whenua o Moria. Ka whakaeke i a ia ki reira hei tahunga tinana ki runga ki tētahi o ngā maunga e kōrero ai ahau ki a koe.”
3Nā, ka maranga wawe a Āperahama i te ata, ā, whakanohoia ana e ia tana kāihe, ā, mauria ana e ia ētahi o āna taitamariki hei hoa mōna, me Īhaka hoki, me tāna tama, ā, tātāngia ana e ia ngā wahie mō te tahunga tinana, ā, whakatika ana, haere ana ki te wāhi i kōrero ai te Atua ki a ia. 4I te rā tuatoru ka maranga ngā kanohi o Āperahama, ā, ka kite ia i taua wāhi i tawhiti. 5Nā, ka mea a Āperahama ki āna taitamariki, “E noho kōrua i konei ki te kāihe. Ka haere māua ko te tamaiti nei ki kō, ki te koropiko, ka hoki mai ai ki a kōrua.”
6Nā, ka tango a Āperahama i te wahie mō te tahunga tinana, ā, whakawahā ana e ia ki a Īhaka, ki tāna tama, ā, ka mauria e ia he ahi i tōna ringa me tētahi māripi. Ā, haere tahi ana rāua. 7Nā, ka kōrero a Īhaka ki a Āperahama, ki tōna pāpā, ka mea, “E tōku matua!”
Ka mea ia, “Tēnei ahau, e tāku tama.”
Ā, ka mea ia, “Nanā, ko te ahi me ngā wahie; kei hea ia te reme hei tahunga tinana?”
8Ka mea a Āperahama, “Kei te Atua te whakaaro, e tāku tamaiti, ki tētahi reme māna hei tahunga tinana.” Nā, ka haere tahi rāua.
9Ā, ka tae rāua ki te wāhi i kōrero ai te Atua ki a ia; ā, ka hangā e Āperahama tētahi āta ki reira, ā, whakapapatia ana e ia ngā wahie, nā, ka herea e ia a Īhaka, tāna tama, whakatakotoria iho ki te āta, ki runga ki ngā wahie. 10Nā, ka totoro atu te ringa o Āperahama, ka mau ki te māripi hei patu mō tāna tama. 11Nā, ko te karangatanga mai a te anahera a Ihowā ki a ia i runga i te rangi, ka mea, “E Āperahama, e Āperahama!”
Ka mea ia, “Tēnei ahau.”
12Nā, ka mea ia, “Kaua e totoro tōu ringa ki te tamaiti, kaua anō hoki tētahi mea e meatia ki a ia. Kātahi hoki ahau ka mātau e wehi ana koe i te Atua, i a koe kīhai nei i kaiponu i tāu tamaiti, i tāu huatahi, i ahau.”
13Ā, ka maranga ake ngā kanohi o Āperahama, nā, ka kite ia ko tētahi hipi toa i muri i a ia, e mau ana ōna haona i roto i te puia rākau. Nā, ka haere a Āperahama, ka hopu i te hipi rā, ā, whakaekea ana e ia hei tahunga tinana, hei whakarite mō tāna tama. 14Nā, ka huaina e Āperahama te ingoa o taua wāhi ko Ihowātire. E kōrerotia nei ināianei, “Kei te maunga o Ihowā te kitea ai.”
15Nā, ka karanga anō te anahera a Ihowā ki a Āperahama i te rangi, 16ka mea, “Kua waiho e ahau ko ahau anō hei oati, e ai tā Ihowā, mōu i mea i tēnei mea, mōu anō hoki kīhai i kaiponu i tāu tama, i tāu huatahi, 17nā, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, ā, ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau ōu uri kia pērā me ngā whetū o te rangi, me te onepū hoki i te tahatika o te moana. Ā, ka riro i ōu uri te kūwaha o ōna hoariri, 18mā tōu uri anō hoki ka manaakitia ai ngā iwi katoa o te whenua; mōu i whakarongo ki tōku reo.”
19Nā, ka hoki a Āperahama ki āna taitamariki, ā, whakatika ana rātou, haere tahi ana ki Peerehepa; ā, ka noho a Āperahama ki Peerehepa.
Ngā Tamariki o Nahora
20Nā, i muri i ēnei mea ka kōrerotia ki a Āperahama, ka meatia, “Nanā, kua whānau tamariki anō a Mireka rāua ko Nahora, ko tōu teina: 21ko Hutu, ko tāna mātāmua, rāua ko Putu, ko tōna teina, me Kemuera hoki, matua o Arame, 22rātou ko Kehere, ko Hato, ko Piretata, ko Irirapa, ko Petuere.” 23Ā, whānau ake tā Petuere ko Ripeka. Ko ēnei tokowaru te whānau a Mireka rāua ko Nahora, teina o Āperahama. 24Ā, ko tāna wahine iti, tōna ingoa nei ko Reuma, i whānau anō āna: ko Tepa rātou ko Kahama, ko Tahaha, ko Maaka.
