Hoani 13 - Te Kawenata Hou

Ka Horoia e Īhu ngā Waewae o Āna Ākonga

¹ Nā, i mua ake o te Hākari o te Kape­nga, ka mahara a Īhu kua taka tōna wā e haere atu ai ia i tēnei ao ki te Matua; aroha ana ia ki ōna o te ao nei, aroha­ina ana rātou taea noatia te mutu­nga.

² Ā, i te mutu­nga o te hapa, kua whaka­mahara­tia noatia ake anō hoki e te rēwera te ngākau o Hūrā Ikariote, tama a Haimona, kia tukua ia.

³ Ā, ka mahara a Īhu kua oti ngā mea katoa te hōmai e te Matua ki ōna ringa, i haere mai ia i te Atua, e hoki atu ana ki te Atua;

⁴ ka whaka­tika ia i te hapa, ka whaka­rere i ōna kākahu, ka mau ki te tauera, ka whī­tiki i a ia.

⁵ Me i reira, ka ringi­hia e ia he wai ki te pei­hana, ā, ka anga ka horoi i ngā wae­wae o ngā ākonga, ka muru hoki ki te tauera i whī­tiki­ria ai ia.

⁶ Ā, ka tae ia ki a Haimona Pita, ka mea tērā ki a ia, “E te Ariki, e horoi ana koe i ōku wae­wae?”

⁷ Ka whaka­hoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “E kore koe e mātau āia­nei ki tāku e mea nei; otirā, e mātau koe ā mua ake nei.”

⁸ Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, “E kore rawa koe e horoi i ōku wae­wae.” Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te kore ahau e horoi i a koe, kāhore āu wāhi i roto i ahau.”

⁹ Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, aua rā ko ōku wae­wae anake, engari, ko ōku ringa me tōku māte­nga.”

¹⁰ Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te mea i te kau­kau tētahi, kāhore atu he aha māna, ko te horoi anake i ōna wae­wae, e mā katoa ana hoki ia. E mā ana koutou, otirā kāhore katoa.”

¹¹ I mōhio hoki ia ki te tangata e tukua ai ia, koia ia i mea ai, “Kāhore koutou katoa i mā.”

¹² Ā, ka oti ō rātou wae­wae te horoi, ka mau ia ki ōna kākahu, ka noho anō, nā, ka mea ki a rātou, “E mātau ana i rānei koutou ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou?

¹³ E karanga­tia ana ahau e koutou, ‘E te Kai­whaka­ako, E te Ariki’, ā, he tika tā koutou kōrero, ko ahau hoki ia.

¹⁴ Nā, kua horoia nei ō koutou wae­wae e ahau, e tō koutou Ariki, e tō koutou Kai­whaka­ako me horoi anō hoki e koutou ngā wae­wae o tētahi, o tētahi o koutou.

¹⁵ Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau he tauira mō koutou, kia rite ai tā koutou mahi ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou.

¹⁶ He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore te pono­nga e nui ake i tōna ranga­tira; e kore anō te tangata i tonoa e nui atu i tōna kai­tono.

¹⁷ Ki te mātau koutou ki ēnei mea, ka koa ki te meatia e koutou.

¹⁸ “Ehara tāku i te kōrero mō koutou katoa; e mātau ana ahau ki āku i whiri­whiri ai. Otirā, kia rite ai te karaipi­ture, ‘Ko ia e kai taro tahi nei māua kua hiki ake tōna reke­reke ki ahau.’

¹⁹ Nā, ka kōrero­tia nei e ahau ki a koutou i te mea kāhore anō i puta noa, mō te puta rawa mai, kia whaka­pono ai koutou, ko ahau ia.

²⁰ He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ki te tango tētahi ki tāku e tono ai, e tango ana ia i ahau; ā, ki te tango tētahi i ahau, e tango ana ki tōku kai­tono mai.”

Ka Poropiti a Īhu i te Whakamoho i a Ia

²¹ Ā, nō ka kōrero­tia e Īhu ēnei mea, ka pōuri tōna wairua, ka kōrero ia, ka mea, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, mā tētahi o koutou ahau e tuku.”

²² Nā, ka ti­tiro ngā ākonga tētahi ki tētahi, ka pōhēhē ko wai rānei tāna i kōrero ai.

²³ Nā, i te whaka­whiri­naki ki te uma o Īhu tētahi o āna ākonga, ko tā Īhu hoki i aroha ai.

²⁴ Nā, ka tā­whiri atu a Haimona Pita ki a ia, ka mea atu, “Kōrero­tia mai ki a mātou, ko wai tāna e kōrero nei.”

²⁵ Nā, ka takoto atu ia ki te uma o Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Ariki, ko wai koia?”

²⁶ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu, “Ko te tangata e hoatu ai e ahau te mara­mara taro ki a ia, ina toua iho e ahau.” Ā, nō ka toua iho e ia te mara­mara taro, ka hoatu ki a Hūrā, tama a Haimona Ikariote.

²⁷ Ā, muri iho i te mara­mara taro, ka tomo a Hātana ki roto ki a ia. Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Hohoro te mea i tāu e mea ai.”

²⁸ Kāhore ia tētahi o te hunga i taua hapa i mātau mō te aha tēnei i kōrero­tia nei e ia ki a ia.

²⁹ I mahara ētahi, nō te mea i a Hūrā te pūtea, tērā a Īhu te mea rā ki a ia, “Hokona ngā mea mā tātou mō te hākari; kia hoatu rānei tētahi mea mā ngā rawa­kore.”

³⁰ Nā, ka tango­hia e ia te mara­mara taro, haere tonu atu ki waho. He pō anō hoki.

Te Ture Hou

³¹ Nō tōna riro­nga atu ki waho, ka mea a Īhu, “Kātahi te Tama a te tangata ka whaka­korōria­tia, ka whai korōria anō te Atua i a ia.

³² Ā, ka whaka­korōria te Atua i a ia i roto i a ia ake, inā, ka hohoro tāna whaka­korōria i a ia.

³³ E ngā tama­riki, poto kau nei tāku noho i a koutou, tērā koutou e rapu i ahau, ko tāku hoki i mea ai ki ngā Hūrai, E kore koutou e āhei te haere ake ki te wāhi e haere ai ahau; ko tāku kupu anō tēnā ki a koutou.

³⁴ He ture hou tāku ka hoatu nei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi; kia rite ki tōku aroha ki a koutou, wai­hoki kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi.

³⁵ Mā konei ka mātau ai te katoa, he ākonga koutou nāku, me ka aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi.”

Ka Poropiti a Īhu i Whakakoretanga a Pita

³⁶ Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, e haere ana koe ki hea?” Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “E kore koe e āhei te aru i ahau āia­nei ki te wāhi e haere atu nei ahau; ā, mua ia ka aru koe i ahau.”

³⁷ Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, he aha ahau tē aru ai i a koe āia­nei nei anō? Ka tuku ahau i ahau kia mate, he whaka­aro nāku ki a koe.”

³⁸ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “E tuku oti koe i a koe ki te mate, he whaka­aro nāu ki ahau? He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koe, e kore e tangi te tī­kao­kao, kia toru rā anō āu whaka­kāhore­tanga ki ahau.”
