Māka 3 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Tāne he Ringa Memenge tōna

¹ Ā, ka tomo atu anō ia ki te whare kara­kia, nā, i reira tētahi tangata kua memenge tōna ringa.

² Ā, ka whaka­mau tā rātou ti­tiro ki a ia, me kore ia e whaka­ora i a ia i te hāpati; he mea kia whaka­pā ai rātou i tētahi hē ki a ia.

³ Nā, ka mea ia ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, “Whaka­tika ki waenga­nui.”

⁴ Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “He mea tika rānei te mahi pai i te hāpati, te mahi kino rānei? Te whaka­ora rānei, te whaka­mate rānei?” Heoi, kāhore rātou i kīkī.

⁵ Nā, ka tiro­tiro riri ia ki a rātou, he pōuri hoki mō te pakeke o ō rātou ngākau, ka mea ki taua tangata, “Totoro tōu ringa.” Ā, ko te toro­nga o tōna ringa, kua ora.

⁶ Nā, ka haere atu ngā Parihi, ka rū­nanga tahi me ngā Herōriana mōna, ki te pēhea e whaka­ngaro­mia ai ia.

He Mano i te taha o te Moana

⁷ Nā, ka maunu atu a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga ki te moana; he nui hoki te tangata i aru i a ia i Kariri, i Hūria,

⁸ I Hiruhārama, i Irumia, i tāwāhi hoki o Horano; me te hunga hoki e tata ana ki Tāira, ki Hairona, nui atu te hui­hui; i tō rātou rongo­nga i ngā mea i mea ai ia, haere ana ki a ia.

⁹ Nā, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga kia noho tata mai tētahi kai­puke iti ki a ia, i te mano hoki, kei tute­tutea ia e rātou.

¹⁰ He toko­maha hoki i whaka­ora­ngia e ia; nō ka popō mai ki a ia te hunga katoa e mate ana, kia pā ai ki a ia.

¹¹ Me ngā wairua poke hoki, i tō rātou kite­nga i a ia, takoto ana ki tōna aro­aro, ka karanga, ka mea, “Ko te Tama koe a te Atua!”

¹² Ā, he maha āna kupu ki a rātou kia kaua ia e whaka­atu­ria e rātou.

Ka Whiriwhiria e Īhu ngā Āpōtoro Tekau mā rua

¹³ Nā, ka kake ia ki te maunga, karanga­tia ana ki a ia āna i pai ai, ā, ka tae rātou ki a ia.

¹⁴ Ā, kotahi tekau mā rua āna i whaka­rite ai hei hoa mōna, hei tono­nga hoki māna ki te kauwhau,

¹⁵ kia whai mana hoki e ora ai ngā mate, e peia ai ngā rēwera.

¹⁶ Ā, huaina iho e ia a Haimona ko Pita;

¹⁷ ko Hēmi, tama a Heperi, rāua ko Hoani, teina o Hēmi; ā, huaina iho rāua ko Poaneki, arā, ko ngā Tama a te Whati­tiri;

¹⁸ ko Anaru, ko Piripi, ko Patoromu, ko Matiu, ko Tamati, ko Hēmi, tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu ko Haimona Kanaani,

¹⁹ ko Hūrā Ikariote hoki, nāna nei ia i tuku. Nā, ka tae ia ki te whare.

Ko Īhu rāua ko Perehepura

²⁰ Nā, ka hui­hui anō te mano, nō kīhai rawa rātou i āhei te kai taro.

²¹ Ā, nō ka rongo ōna hoa, ka haere ki te pupuri i a ia: i mea hoki, “He pō­rewa­rewa ia.”

²² Nā, ka mea ngā kara­ipi i haere mai rā i Hiruhārama, “Kei a ia a Perehepura, ā, nā te ranga­tira o ngā rēwera tāna peinga rēwera.”

²³ Nā, ka karanga­tia rātou e ia, ā, ka kōrero whaka­rite ki a rātou: “Me pēhea a Hātana ka pei ai i a Hātana?

²⁴ Ki te tahuri iho hoki tētahi ranga­tira­tanga ki a ia anō, e kore taua ranga­tira­tanga e tū.

²⁵ Ki te tahuri iho hoki tētahi whare ki a ia anō, e kore taua whare e tū.

²⁶ Ki te whaka­tika a Hātana, ā, ka tahuri iho ki a ia anō, e kore ia e tū, engari, he mutu­nga tōna.

²⁷ “E kore te tangata e āhei te haere ki roto ki te whare o te tangata kaha, pāhua ai i ōna taonga, ki te kāhore e mātua herea te tangata kaha; ko reira pāhua ai i tōna whare.

²⁸ “He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ngā hara katoa o ngā tama a ngā tāngata e murua, me ngā kohu­kohu e kohu­kohu ai rātou.

²⁹ Tēnā ko te tangata e kohu­kohua ai te Wairua Tapu, e kore e murua tōna hara ā ake ake, engari ka tau te hē ki a ia ā ake ake.”

³⁰ Mō rātou i kī, “He wairua poke tōna.”

Ko te Whaea rātou ko ngā Tēina o Īhu

³¹ Ā, ko te taenga mai o ōna tēina rātou ko tōna whaea, ka tū i waho, ka tono tāngata mai ki a ia, ki te karanga i a ia.

³² E noho ana hoki te mano i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha, ā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Nā, tōu whaea me ōu tēina kei waho, e rapu ana i a koe.”

³³ Nā, ka whaka­hoki ia ki a rātou, ka mea, “Ko wai tōku whaea, ko wai hoki ōku tēina?”

³⁴ Nā, ka tiro­tiro ia ki te hunga e noho ana i tētahi taha ōna, i tētahi taha, ka mea, “Nā, tōku whaea, ōku tēina!

³⁵ Ki te meatia hoki e tētahi tā te Atua i pai ai, hei teina ia ki ahau, hei tua­hine, hei whaea.”
