Whakakitenga 11 - Paipera Tapu 2012

Ngā Kaiwhakaatu Tokorua

¹ Nā, kua hōmai ki ahau he kākaho e rite ana ki te tokotoko, ā, ka mea mai tētahi, “E ara, ka whanganga i te whare o te Atua, me te āta, me te hunga e koropiko ana i roto.

² Me whakarere ia ki waho te marae i te taha ki waho o te whare tapu, kaua tērā e whangangatia; kua hoatu hoki ki ngā tauiwi; ā, e takatakahia e rātou te pā tapu, e whā tekau mā rua ngā marama.

³ Ā, māku e hoatu he tikanga ki āku kaiwhakaatu tokorua, e poropiti hoki rāua, kotahi mano e rua rau e ono tekau ngā rā, he taratara anō te kākahu.”

⁴ Ko ngā ōriwa e rua ēnei, me ngā tūranga rama e rua, e tū nei i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua.

⁵ Ā, ki te mea tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ka puta mai he kāpura i ō rāua māngai, e pau ai ō rāua hoariri. Ki te mea hoki tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ko te whakamatenga tēnei mōna.

⁶ Kei a rāua te tikanga mō te kōpani i te rangi, kia kaua e ua te ua i ngā rā o tā rāua poropititanga. Kei a rāua anō te tikanga mō te whakaputa kē i ngā wai hei toto, mō te patu anō i te whenua ki ngā patunga katoa, i ngā wā e pai ai rāua.

⁷ Ā, nō ka mutu tā rāua whakaatu, ka whawhai ki a rāua te kararehe e haere ake ana i roto i te poka tōrere, ā, e taea rāua e ia, e whakamatea rāua.

⁸ Ka takoto anō ō rāua tinana ki te huarahi o te pā nui, e huaina wairuatia nei ko Horoma, ko Īhipa, ki te wāhi hoki i rīpekatia ai tō rāua Ariki.

⁹ Ā, e toru ngā rā me te hāwhe e tirohia ai ō rāua tinana e ngā huihuinga tāngata, e ngā hapū, e ngā reo, e ngā iwi, e kore anō hoki e tukua ō rāua tinana kia hoatu ki te urupā.

¹⁰ Ka koa hoki ki a rāua te hunga e noho ana i te whenua, ka harakoa, ka tāpae taonga tētahi ki tētahi; nō te mea i whakamamae ēnei poropiti tokorua i te hunga e noho ana ki te whenua.

¹¹ Ā muri iho i aua rā e toru me te hāwhe, ka uru te manawa ora ki a rāua, he mea nā te Atua, ā, ka tū ō rāua waewae ki runga; nui atu hoki te wehi i pā ki te hunga e titiro ana ki a rāua.

¹² Ā, ka rongo rāua i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana ki a rāua, “Haere ake kōrua ki konei.” Nā, haere atu ana rāua ki te rangi i roto i te kapua; me te mātakitaki anō ō rāua hoariri ki a rāua.

¹³ I taua hāora anō ka puta he rū nui, ka hinga te wāhi whakatekau o te pā; ko ngā tāngata i mate i taua rū e whitu mano; ā, ka wehi ērā atu, ā, hoatu ana e rātou he korōria ki te Atua o te rangi.

¹⁴ Kua pahemo te rua o ngā Auē! Nā, ka hohoro te toru o ngā Auē te haere mai!

Te Tētere Tuawhitu

¹⁵ Nā, ka whakatangi te whitu o ngā anahera; ā, ka whai i muri ngā reo nunui i te rangi, e mea ana: “Kua riro te rangatiratanga o te ao hei rangatiratanga mō tō tātou Ariki, mō tāna Karaiti hoki; ko ia anō hei kīngi ake ake.”

¹⁶ Nā, ko ngā kaumātua e rua tekau mā whā, e noho rā i te aroaro o te Atua i runga i ō rātou torōna, ka takoto rātou, ko ō rātou kanohi ki raro, ka koropiko ki te Atua,

¹⁷ ka mea: “Ko tā mātou whakawhetai tēnei ki a koe, e te Ariki, e te Atua Kaha Rawa; tēnei koe ināianei, ā, i mua anō koe, ā, kei te haere mai anō; nō te mea kua riro i a koe tōu mana nui, kua kīngi anō koe.

¹⁸ I riri hoki ngā iwi, ā, kua tae mai tōu riri me te wā mō ngā tūpāpaku e whakawākia ai. Te wā hoki e hoatu ai e koe he utu ki āu pononga, ki ngā poropiti, ki te hunga tapu anō hoki, ki te hunga anō e wehi ana i tōu ingoa, ki te hunga nonohi, ki te hunga nunui; e whakangaromia ai hoki te hunga e whakangaro nei i te whenua.”

¹⁹ Ā, i whakapuaretia anō te whare o te Atua i roto i te rangi, ā, ka kitea te āka o tāna kawenata i roto i tōna whare; nā, he uira tērā, me ngā reo, me ngā whatitiri, me te rū, me te whatu nui.
