1 Hoani 2 - Te Kawenata Hou

Ko Īhu Karaiti tō Tātou Kaiāwhina

¹ E āku tama­riki no­nohi, ka tuhi­tuhi atu nei ahau i ēnei mea ki a koutou, kia kaua ai koutou e hara. Ā, ki te hara tētahi, he kai­kōrero mō tātou kei te Matua, ko Īhu Karaiti, ko te tika.

² Ko ia anō te whaka­mārie mō ō tātou hara; ehara i te mea mō ō tātou anake, engari mō ō te ao katoa.

³ Mā konei hoki tātou ka mātau ai kua mātau tātou ki a ia, ki te puri­tia e tātou āna ture.

⁴ Ki te mea tētahi, “Kua mātau ahau ki a ia,” ā, kāhore e pupuri i āna ture, he tangata teka ia, kāhore hoki te pono i roto i a ia.

⁵ Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i tāna kupu, kua tino rite pū i a ia te aroha o te Atua. Mā konei tātou ka mātau ai kei roto tātou i a ia.

⁶ Ko te tangata e mea ana e noho ana ia i roto i a ia, ko te tikanga tēnei māna, kia rite tāna haere ki tā tērā.

Te Ture Hou

⁷ E ōku tēina, ehara i te ture hou tāku e tuhi­tuhi atu nei ki a koutou, engari he ture tawhito, ko tērā i a koutou o te tīma­tanga iho rā anō. Ko te ture tawhito ko te kupu kua rongo rā koutou.

⁸ Nā, he ture hou tāku e tuhi­tuhi atu nei, he mea pono i a ia, i a koutou hoki, e mahea atu ana hoki te pōuri, ā, kua whiti kē mai te mārama pono.

⁹ Ko te tangata e mea ana kei te mārama ia, ā, e mauā­hara ana ki tōna teina, kei roto ia i te pōuri ā tae noa mai nei.

¹⁰ Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki tōna teina, e noho ana ia i roto i te mārama, kāhore hoki he tūtuki­tanga wae­wae i roto i a ia.

¹¹ Ko te tangata ia e mauā­hara ana ki tōna teina, kei te pōuri ia, e haere ana ia i roto i te pōuri, kāhore hoki ōna mātau­ranga e haere ana ia ki hea, nō te mea kua matapō­tia ōna kanohi e te pōuri.

¹² Ka tuhi­tuhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tama­riki no­nohi, nō te mea kua murua ō koutou hara, he whaka­aro hoki ki tōna ingoa.

¹³ Ka tuhi­tuhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e ngā mātua, nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki a ia, arā, ki tō te tīma­tanga. Ka tuhi­tuhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tai­tama­riki, nō te mea kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino. Ka tuhi­tuhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tama­riki no­nohi, nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki te Matua.

¹⁴ I tuhi­tuhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e ngā mātua, nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki a ia, arā, ki tō te tīma­tanga. I tuhi­tuhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tai­tama­riki, nō te mea he kaha koutou, e mau ana hoki te kupu a te Atua i roto i a koutou, ā, kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino.

¹⁵ Kaua e aroha ki te ao, kaua anō hoki ki ngā mea o te ao. Ki te aroha tētahi ki te ao, kāhore te aroha o te Matua i roto i a ia.

¹⁶ Ko ngā mea katoa hoki i te ao, te hia­hia o te kiko­kiko, te hia­hia o ngā kanohi, me te whaka­peha­peha ki ō te ao mea, ehara i te Matua, engari nō te ao.

¹⁷ E pahemo atu ana hoki te ao, me tōna hia­hia. Tēnā ko te tangata e mea ana i tā te Atua e pai ai, e noho tonu ana ia ā ake ake.

Te Hoariri o Īhu Karaiti

¹⁸ E ngā tama­riki no­nohi, ko te hāora whaka­mutu­nga tēnei. Ka rite hoki ki tā koutou i rongo ai, e haere mai ana te ana­tika­raiti; nā, kua toko­maha nei ngā ana­tika­raiti. Mā konei tātou ka mātau ai ko te hāora whaka­mutu­nga tēnei.

¹⁹ I haere atu rātou i roto i a tātou, ehara ia i te mea nō tātou rātou; me­he­mea hoki nō tātou rātou, kua noho tonu ki a tātou. Otiia, kua haere atu rātou kia whaka­kitea ai ehara rātou katoa i a tātou.

²⁰ Nā, he whaka­wahinga anō tō koutou nā te Mea Tapu, e mātau ana anō hoki koutou ki ngā mea katoa.

²¹ Ehara i te mea i tuhi­tuhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou nō te mea kāhore koutou e mātau ki te pono, engari, nō te mea e mātau ana koutou, nō te mea hoki kāhore he teka i puta ake i te pono.

²² Ko wai koia te tangata teka? He teka ianei ko te tangata e mea ana, “Ehara a Īhu i te Karaiti”? Ko te ana­tika­raiti tēnei, ko te tangata e whaka­kāhore ana ki te Matua, ki te Tama.

²³ Ko ngā tāngata katoa e whaka­kāhore ana ki te Tama, kāhore te Matua i a rātou. Ko te tangata e whaka­ae ana ki te Tama, kei a ia anō hoki te Matua.

²⁴ Nā, kia mau ki roto ki a koutou tā koutou i rongo ai nō te tīma­tanga rā anō. Ki te mea ka mau i roto i a koutou tā koutou i rongo ai nō te tīma­tanga rā anō, e mau anō koutou i roto i te Tama, i roto anō hoki i te Matua.

²⁵ Ko te mea anō hoki tēnei i whaka­aria mai nei e ia ki a tātou, ko te ora tonu.

²⁶ I tuhi­tuhia atu e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, mō te hunga e mea ana ki te whaka­pōhēhē i a koutou.

²⁷ Otiia, e mau ana anō i roto i a koutou tāna whaka­wahinga kua riro nā i a koutou. Kāhore hoki ō koutou mea e whaka­akona ai koutou e tētahi. Ko tāna whaka­wahinga ia e whaka­ako nā i a koutou ki ngā mea katoa, he pono tonu, kāhore hoki he teka, kia rite rā ki tāna i whaka­ako ai i a koutou tō koutou mau ki roto ki a ia.

²⁸ Nā, ināia­nei, e ngā tama­riki no­nohi, kia mau ki roto ki a ia; kia whai māia­tanga ai tātou ina puta mai ia, kei whaka­mā hoki ki a ia ina tae mai ia.

²⁹ Ki te mātau koutou he tika ia, ka mātau koutou he mea whānau nāna ngā tāngata katoa e mea ana i te tika.
