Māka 13 - Te Kawenata Hou

Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō te Wāwāhinga o te Temepara

¹ Ā, i a ia e haere atu ana i te teme­para, ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga ki a ia, “E te Kai­whaka­ako, Nana, te tū o ngā kōhatu, te tū o ngā whare!”

² Nā, ka whaka­hoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “Ka kite koe i ēnei whare nunui? E kore tētahi kōhatu e waiho i konei i runga ake i tētahi kōhatu, engari, ka whaka­horoa.”

Ngā Raruraru me ngā Whakatoinga

³ Ā, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Ōriwa i te rite­nga atu o te teme­para, ka ui puku ki a ia a Pita, a Hēmi, a Hoani, a Anaru,

⁴ “Kōrero­tia mai ki a mātou, ko āhea ēnei mea, ā, he aha te tohu ina tata ēnei mea katoa te rite?”

⁵ Nā, ka anga ia, ka kōrero ki a rātou, “Kia tūpato kei māminga­tia koutou e te tangata.

⁶ He toko­maha hoki e haere mai i runga i tōku ingoa, e mea, ‘Ko ahau ia!’ ā, he toko­maha e māminga­tia.

⁷ E rongo koutou ki ngā pakanga, ki ngā hau pakanga, kei oho­rere. Kua takoto hoki he pu­tanga mō aua mea; taihoa rawa ia te mutu­nga.

⁸ Ka whaka­tika hoki tētahi iwi ki tētahi iwi, tētahi ranga­tira­tanga ki tētahi ranga­tira­tanga; ā, he tini ngā wāhi e puta ai he rū; ka puta anō hoki he pō matekai. Ko te tīma­tanga ēnei o ngā mamae.

⁹ “Nā, kia tūpato ki a koutou: ka tukua hoki koutou ki ngā rū­nanga; ka whiua koutou i roto i ngā whare kara­kia; ā, ka whaka­tū­ria koutou ki te aro­aro o ngā kāwana, o ngā kīngi, mō te whaka­aro ki ahau, hei mea whaka­atu ki a rātou.

¹⁰ Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia mātua kauwhau­tia te rongo­pai ki ngā tauiwi katoa.

¹¹ Ina, āra­hina koutou ki te whaka­wā, ā, ka tukua atu, kaua e mā­nuka­nuka wawe ki tā koutou e kōrero ai: engari, ko te mea e hoatu ki a koutou i taua hāora, ko tēnā tā koutou e kōrero ai: ehara hoki i te mea mā koutou ngā kōrero, engari, mā te Wairua Tapu.

¹² Nā, ka tukua te tua­kana e te teina ki te mate, te tama­iti hoki e te pāpā; ā, ka whaka­tika ngā tama­riki ki ngā mātua, ka mea kia whaka­matea.

¹³ Ā, ka kino­ngia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa, he mea mō tōku ingoa. Ko te tangata ia e ū ana ā taea noatia te mutu­nga, ko ia e ora.”

Te Mea Whakarihariha

¹⁴ “Ā, ki te kite koutou i te mea whaka­riha­riha, i te mea whaka­ngaro e tū ana i te wāhi e kore e tika, kia mātau te kai­titiro puka­puka, ko reira me rere te hunga i Hūria ki ngā maunga.

¹⁵ Ko te tangata hoki i runga i te whare kaua e heke iho ki roto ki te whare, kaua hoki e tomo ki te tiki i tētahi mea i roto i tōna whare.

¹⁶ Kaua anō te tangata i te māra e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tōna kākahu.

¹⁷ Auē te mate mō te hunga e hapū ana, mō ngā mea hoki e whāngai ana ki te ū, i aua rā!

¹⁸ Mā koutou ia e īnoi kei roko­hanga koutou e te whati i te hōtoke.

¹⁹ He whaka­pāwera hoki aua rā, kāhore ōna rite o te oroko­hanga­nga rā anō i hangā nei e te Atua, ā, mohoa noa nei, kāhore hoki he pērā ā muri ake nei.

²⁰ Me i kāhore hoki aua rā i poroa i waenga e te Ariki, e kore tētahi kiko­kiko e ora. Otirā, ka whaka­aroa te hunga whiri­whiri i whiri­whiria e ia, ā, poroa ana aua rā i waenga.

²¹ “Ki te mea tētahi ki a koutou i reira, ‘Nā, tēnei a te Karaiti.’ Nā, ‘Tērā!’ kaua e whaka­pono­hia.

²² E whaka­tika hoki ngā Karaiti teka, me ngā poro­piti teka, ka whaka­atu i ngā tohu me ngā mea whaka­mīharo, ā, me i taea, ka māminga­tia e rātou te hunga whiri­whiri.

²³ Kia tūpato rā koutou; nā, kua kōrero­tia wawe­tia nei e ahau ngā mea katoa ki a koutou.”

Te Haerenga Mai o te Tama a te Tangata

²⁴ “Nā, i aua rā, i muri iho i taua whaka­pāwera, ka whaka­pōuri­tia te rā, e kore hoki e titi te ata­rau,

²⁵ ka taka iho ngā whetū o te rangi, ka ngā­ueue ngā mea kaha o ngā rangi.

²⁶ Nā, ko reira kitea ai te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i ngā kapua, me te kaha nui, me te korōria.

²⁷ Ko reira anō ia tono ai i āna ana­hera, ā, ka hui­huia ana i whiri­whiri ai i ngā hau e whā, i te pito o te whenua tae noa ki te pito o te rangi.”

Te Whakaakoranga mō te Rākau Piki

²⁸ “Nā, kia ākona koutou e te piki ki tētahi kupu whaka­rite. I tōna manga e ngā­wari ana, e puta ana hoki ngā rau, ka mōhio koutou ka tata te rau­mati.

²⁹ Wai­hoki ko koutou, ina kite i ēnei mea e puta mai ana, ka mātau ka tata ia, kei ngā kūwaha.

³⁰ He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tēnei whaka­tupu­ranga e pahemo, kia puta rā anō ēnei mea katoa.

³¹ Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko āku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.”

Kāhore e Mōhiotia ana hei tēhea Rā, hei tēhea Hāora

³² “Otiia, kāhore tētahi tangata e mātau ki taua rā, ki taua hāora, kāhore ngā ana­hera o te rangi, kāhore te Tama, ko te Matua anake.

³³ Kia tūpato, kia mata­ara, me te īnoi anō. Kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā, ko āhea rānei.

³⁴ Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, mahue iho i a ia tōna whare, ā, tukua iho e ia ngā tikanga ki āna pono­nga, tāna mahi mā tētahi, mā tētahi, ka whaka­hau iho hoki ki te kai­tiaki tatau kia mata­ara.

³⁵ Āe rā, kia mata­ara; kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā e haere mai ai te ranga­tira o te whare, ko te ahi­ahi, ko waenga­nui pō rānei, ko te tangi­hanga o te hei­hei, ko te atatū rānei;

³⁶ kei puta whaka­rere mai, ka roko­hanga koutou e ia e moe ana.

³⁷ Nā, ko tāku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana anō ki te katoa: Kia mata­ara!”
