Hoani 18 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Hopukanga o Īhu

¹ Ka mutu ēnei kōrero a Īhu ka haere ia, rātou ko āna ākonga, ki tāwāhi o te manga wai, arā o Kerono. Nā, he kāri kei reira, ā, tapoko atu ana ia, rātou ko āna ākonga.

² I mātau­ria anō taua wāhi e Hūrā, e te tangata e tukua ai ia; he maha hoki ngā hoki­nga o Īhu, rātou ko āna ākonga ki reira.

³ Nā, ka hoatu ki a Hūrā tētahi mātua me ētahi kātipa e ngā tohu­nga nui rātou ko ngā Parihi, ā, haere ana ki reira, me ngā rohe­rohe, me ngā rama, me ngā patu.

⁴ Heoi, i mātau a Īhu ki ngā mea katoa meāke pā ki a ia, ka puta atu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko wai tā koutou e rapu?”

⁵ Ka whaka­hokia e rātou ki a ia, “Ko Īhu o Nahareta.” Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Ko ahau ia.” Ā, i te tū anō i roto i a rātou a Hūrā, tōna kai­tuku.

⁶ Nā, i tāna kōrero­tanga ki a rātou, “Ko ahau ia,” hoki ana rātou ki muri, hinga ana ki te whenua.

⁷ Nā, ka ui anō ia ki a rātou, “Ko wai tā koutou e rapu?” Ka mea rātou, “Ko Īhu o Nahareta.”

⁸ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu, “Kua mea ahau ki a koutou, ‘Ko ahau ia’, ki te mea e rapu ana koutou i ahau, tukua ēnei kia haere.”

⁹ (Kia rite ai te kupu i kōrero­tia e ia: “Kāhore i ngaro tētahi o te hunga i hōmai e koe ki ahau.”)

¹⁰ Nā, he hoari tā Haimona Pita, unuhia ana e ia, ā, hāua iho te pono­nga a te tohu­nga nui, tapa­hia ana tōna tari­nga matau. Ko te ingoa o taua pono­nga ko Maraku.

¹¹ Ka mea a Īhu ki a Pita, “Kuhua tāu hoari ki te takoto­ranga. Ko te kapu i hōmai nei e tōku Matua ki ahau auaka rānei e inumia e ahau?”

Ko Īhu i te Aroaro o Anaha

¹² Heoi, ka hopu­kina a Īhu e taua ope, e te ranga­tira rātou ko ngā kātipa o ngā Hūrai, ā, hereherea ana ia.

¹³ Ā, ka āra­hina ki a Anaha i te tua­tahi; ko ia hoki te hunga­wai o Kaiapa, o te tohu­nga nui mō taua tau.

¹⁴ Nā, ko Kaiapa tēnei nāna rā i whaka­takoto te whaka­aro ki ngā Hūrai, he pai kē ki te mate te tangata kotahi mō te iwi.

Ka Whakakāhorengia a Īhu e Pita

¹⁵ Nā, ka aru a Haimona Pita i a Īhu, ā, ka aru anō hoki tētahi atu o ngā ākonga; nā, i mōhio­tia taua ākonga e te tohu­nga nui, ā, tomo tahi ana me Īhu ki te whare o te tohu­nga nui;

¹⁶ ko Pita ia i tū i te kūwaha i waho. Nā, ka puta atu taua ākonga i mōhio­tia nei e te tohu­nga nui, ka kōrero ki te kai­tiaki o te tatau, ā, āra­hina ana a Pita ki roto.

¹⁷ Nā, ko te mea­tanga a te kōtiro tiaki o te tatau ki a Pita, “Ehara ianei koe i tētahi o ngā ākonga a tēnei tangata?” Ka mea ia, “Ehara!”

¹⁸ Nā, i reira ngā pono­nga me ngā kātipa e tū ana, kua whaka­ūngia hoki e rātou te kāpura waro; he maka­riri hoki; ā, e ina­ina ana rātou. Ko Pita hoki tētahi o rātou, e tū tahi ana e ina­ina ana.

Ka Uiuia e te Tōhunga Nui a Īhu

¹⁹ Nā, ka ui te tohu­nga nui ki a Īhu, ki āna ākonga, ki tāna ako.

²⁰ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “I mārama tonu tāku kōrero ki te ao; i ako tonu ahau i roto i te whare kara­kia, i te teme­para hoki, i te wāhi hui­hui o ngā Hūrai katoa; kāhore hoki tētahi mea i kōrero­tia puku­tia e ahau.

²¹ He aha koe ka ui ai ki ahau? Ui atu ki te hunga i rongo ki tāku i mea ai ki a rātou; Nana, e mōhio ana rātou ki āku i kōrero ai.”

²² Nā, i tāna kōrero­tanga i ēnei kupu, ka papaki tētahi o ngā kātipa i tū rā i a Īhu, ka mea, “E pēnā ana koe ki te tohu­nga nui?”

²³ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te kino āku kōrero, whaka­atu­ria te kino. Ki te pai ia, he aha koe i papaki ai i ahau?”

²⁴ Nā, ka tukua here­here­tia atu ia e Anaha ki a Kaiapa tohu­nga nui.

Ka Whakakāhorengia anō a Īhu e Pita

²⁵ Nā, tērā a Haimona Pita te tū rā me te ina­ina. Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Ehara ianei koe i tētahi o āna ākonga?” Ka whaka­kāhore ia, ka mea, “Ehara!”

²⁶ Ka mea tētahi o ngā pono­nga a te tohu­nga nui, he whanau­nga nōna i tapa­hia nei te tari­nga e Pita, “Kīhai ianei ahau i kite i a koe, kōrua tahi i te kāri?”

²⁷ Nā, ka whaka­kāhore anō a Pita; ā, tangi tonu iho te tī­kao­kao.

Ka Mauria a Īhu i te Aroaro o Pirato

²⁸ Kātahi, ka āra­hina atu e rātou a Īhu i a Kaiapa ki te whare whaka­wā. He atatū. Ko rātou ia kīhai i tomo ki te whare whaka­wā, kei poke rātou, engari, kia kai ai rātou i te Kape­nga.

²⁹ Nā, ka puta atu a Pirato ki a rātou, ka mea, “He aha tā koutou whaka­pae ki tēnei tangata?”

³⁰ Ka whaka­hoki rātou, ka mea ki a ia, “Me i kaua ia te mahi i te kino, kīhai i kawea mai e mātou ki a koe.”

³¹ Nā, ko te mea­tanga a Pirato ki a rātou, “Mauria atu ia, whaka­wā­kia ki tō koutou nā ture.” Ka mea ngā Hūrai ki a ia, “E kore e tika kia whaka­matea tētahi tangata e mātou.”

³² Kia rite ai tā Īhu kupu i kōrero ai, hei whaka­atu i te mate e mate ai ia.

³³ Me i reira ka tomo anō a Pirato ki te whare whaka­wā, ka karanga i a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “Ko te Kīngi rānei koe o ngā Hūrai?”

³⁴ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu ki a ia, “Nāu ake anō tēnei kupu, he kōrero rānei mōku nā te tangata kē ki a koe?”

³⁵ Ka mea a Pirato, “He Hūrai koia ahau? Nā tōu iwi, nā ngā tohu­nga nui anō hoki, koe i kawe mai ki ahau; i aha koia koe?”

³⁶ Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu, “Ehara tōku ranga­tira­tanga i tēnei ao; me­he­mea nō tēnei ao tōku ranga­tira­tanga, kua tatau āku pono­nga, kei tukua ahau ki ngā Hūrai. Tēnā ko tēnei ehara tōku ranga­tira­tanga i konei.”

³⁷ Nā, ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, “He kīngi oti koe?” Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu, “Kua kōrero­tia mai nā e koe he kīngi ahau. Ko te mea tēnei i whānau ai ahau; nā, tēnei hoki ahau i haere mai ai ki te ao, hei kai­whaka­atu mō te pono. E whaka­rongo ana ki tōku reo ngā tāngata katoa o te pono.”

³⁸ Ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, “He aha te pono?” Ā, nō te pua­kanga o tēnei kī, hoki ana ia ki waho, ki ngā Hūrai, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore tētahi hē o tēnei tangata i mau i ahau.

Ka Whiua a Īhu kia Mate

³⁹ Otiia, he rite­nga tēnei nā koutou, kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou tētahi tangata i te Kape­nga. E pai ana rānei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?”

⁴⁰ Heoi, karanga katoa ana anō rātou, ka mea, “Auaka tēnei, engari a Parapa.” Nā, he tāhae a Parapa.
