Hoani 20 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Urupā Tahanga

¹ I te rā tua­tahi o te wiki ka haere a Meri Makarini ki te urupā i te atatū, i te mea e pōuri tonu ana, ā, ka kite i te kōhatu kua tango­hia atu i te urupā.

² Nā, ka oma ia, ka haere ki a Haimona Pita rāua ko tērā ākonga i aroha ai a Īhu, ka mea ki a rāua, “Kua tango­hia e rātou te Ariki i te urupā, ā, kāhore mātou e mōhio ki te wāhi i waiho ai ia e rātou.”

³ Nā, ka puta atu a Pita, me taua ākonga, ka haere ki te urupā.

⁴ Ā, oma ngā­tahi ana rāua; otiia, i hohoro tērā ākonga i a Pita, ko ia anō kua tae wawe ki te urupā.

⁵ Nā, piko iho ana ia, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana; heoi, kīhai i tomo ki roto.

⁶ Nā, ka haere anō a Haimona Pita i muri i a ia, ā, ko tōna tomo­kanga ki te urupā, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana.

⁷ Me te tauera i takaia ai tōna māte­nga, kīhai i takoto tahi me ngā tākai rīnena, he mea whaka­kopa ia ki tētahi wāhi i tahaki.

⁸ Kātahi, ka tomo tērā ākonga, i tae wawe nei ki te urupā, kite ana, whaka­pono ana.

⁹ (Kīanō hoki rātou i mōhio noa ki te karaipi­ture, kua takoto te tikanga kia ara ake ia i te hunga mate.)

¹⁰ Nā, hoki ana anō ngā ākonga ki tō rāua kāinga.

Ka Kitea a Īhu e Meri Makarini

¹¹ Ko Meri ia tū tonu i waho o te urupā tangi ai. Ā, i a ia e tangi ana, ka piko iho ki te urupā.

¹² Ka kite i ngā ana­hera toko­rua, he mā ngā kākahu, e noho ana, ko tētahi ki te māte­nga, ko tētahi ki ngā wae­wae, i te wāhi i takoto ai te tinana o Īhu.

¹³ Ka mea rāua ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi?” Ka mea ia ki a rāua, “Kua tango­hia e rātou tōku Ariki, e kore hoki ahau e mātau ki te wāhi i whaka­takoto­ria ai ia.”

¹⁴ Ka pēnei āna kōrero, ka tahuri whaka­muri, ka kite i a Īhu e tū ana, otiia, kīhai i mōhio ko Īhu ia.

¹⁵ Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi? Ko wai tāu e rapu?” Hua noa ia ko te kai­ngaki kāri, nā, ko tāna mea­tanga ki a ia, “E mara, ki te mea kua mauria atu ia e koe, kōrero­tia ki ahau te wāhi i whaka­takoto­ria ai ia, ā, māku ia e tango atu.”

¹⁶ Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E Meri!” Ka tahuri atu tērā, ka mea ki a ia, “E Rāponi!” Ko te tikanga tēnei, “E te Kai­whaka­ako.”

¹⁷ Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Kei pā ki ahau; kīanō hoki ahau i kake noa ki tōku Matua. Engari, haere ki ōku tēina, ka mea atu ki a rātou, ‘Ka kake ahau ki tōku Matua, ki tō koutou Matua; ki tōku Atua, ki tō koutou Atua.’ ”

¹⁸ Haere ana a Meri Makarini, kōrero ana ki ngā ākonga, “Kua kite ia i te Ariki!” Kua kōrero­tia hoki e ia ēnei mea ki a ia.

Ka Kitea a Īhu e Āna Ākonga

¹⁹ I taua rā tua­tahi anō o te wiki, i te ahi­ahi, i ngā tatau e kati ana o te wāhi i hui­hui ai ngā ākonga i te wehi i ngā Hūrai, ka haere mai a Īhu, ka tū i waenga­nui, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangi­mārie ki a koutou.”

²⁰ Ā, ka puaki tēnei kupu āna, ka whaka­kitea e ia ōna ringa me tōna kao­kao ki a rātou. Nā, hari tonu ngā ākonga, i tō rātou kite­nga i te Ariki.

²¹ Ka mea anō a Īhu ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangi­mārie ki a koutou. I tonoa mai ahau e te Matua, ka pērā anō tāku tono i a koutou.”

²² Ka kōrero­tia tēnei e ia, ka whaka­hā ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a koutou.

²³ Ki te whaka­rērea noatia e koutou ngā hara o ētahi, ka whaka­rērea o rātou; ki te whaka­maua anō o ētahi e koutou, ka mau anō.”

Ko Īhu rāua ko Tamati

²⁴ Ko Tamati ia, ko tētahi o te tekau mā rua, tētahi o ōna ingoa ko Ririmu, kāhore i a rātou i te taenga mai o Īhu.

²⁵ Ā, ko te mea­tanga a ērā ākonga ki a ia, “Kua kite mātou i te Ariki!” Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ki te kāhore ahau e kite i te ngau­nga o ngā whao i ōna ringa, e kuhu i tōku mati­hao ki te ngau­nga a ngā whao, e kuhu hoki i tōku ringa ki tōna kao­kao, e kore ahau e whaka­pono.”

²⁶ Ā, ka pahemo ngā rā e waru, nā, kei roto anō āna ākonga, rātou ko Tamati. Ka haere mai a Īhu i te mea e kati ana ngā tatau, ka tū ki waenga­nui, ka mea, “Kia tau te rangi­mārie ki a koutou.”

²⁷ Kātahi ia ka mea ki a Tamati, “Totoro mai tōu mati­hao, kia kite hoki koe i ōku ringa. Totoro mai hoki tōu ringa, ka kuhu ki tōku kao­kao. Aua e whaka­teka, engari, me whaka­pono.”

²⁸ Nā, ka whaka­hoki a Tamati, ka mea ki a ia, “E tōku Ariki, e tōku Atua!”

²⁹ Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Nō tōu kite­nga i ahau, i whaka­pono ai koe, e Tamati. Ka koa te hunga kāhore i kite, ā, kua whaka­pono.”

Te Tātai o tēnei Pukapuka

³⁰ He maha anō ērā atu tohu i oti i a Īhu, i te aro­aro o āna ākonga, kāhore nei i tuhi­tuhia ki tēnei puka­puka.

³¹ Otiia, kua tuhi­tuhia ēnei, kia whaka­pono ai koutou ko te Karaiti a Īhu, ko te Tama a te Atua; kia whi­whi ai hoki ki te ora i runga i tōna ingoa, ina whaka­pono.
