Ngā Mahi 9 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Huringa o Haora ki te Whakapono

¹ Ko Haora ia kei te kupu­kupu tonu i te whaka­wehi, i te mate mō ngā ākonga a te Ariki, ā, haere ana ki te tohu­nga nui,

² kei te tono puka­puka i a ia ki ngā whaka­mine­nga i Ramahiku, ina kitea e ia tētahi nō te Huarahi, ahakoa tāne, wāhine rānei, kia mauria here­here­tia mai e ia ki Hiruhārama.

³ Nā, i a ia e haere ana, ka whaka­tata ia ki Ramahiku; nā, oho­rere ana te whiti­nga mai ki a ia, huri noa, o tētahi mārama nō te rangi.

⁴ Ā, hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka rongo ake i tētahi reo e mea ana ki a ia, “E Hāora, e Haora, he aha tāu e whaka­toi nei i ahau?”

⁵ Anō rā ko ia, “Ko wai koe, e te Ariki?” Ka mea ia, “Ko Īhu ahau, e whaka­toia nei e koe; ehara tāu, te whana ki ngā koi­koi.”

⁶ Nā, wiri ana ia, ihi­ihi ana, ka mea, “E te Ariki, kia aha ahau?” Anō rā ko te Ariki ki a ia, “Whaka­tika, tomo atu ki te pā, ā, ka kōrero­tia ki a koe tāu e mea ai.”

⁷ Nā, ko ngā tāngata i haere tahi i a ia, tū reo­kore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kāhore ia i kite tangata.

⁸ Nā, ka whaka­tika ake a Haora i te whenua, ā, i te tu­whera­tanga o ōna kanohi, kīhai rawa ia i kite aha; nā, āra­hina ā ringa­tia ana ia e rātou, mauria ana ia ki Ramahiku.

⁹ Ā, e toru ōna rā e kore ana e kite, kīhai hoki i kai, kīhai i inu.

¹⁰ Nā, i Ramahiku tētahi ākonga, ko Anania te ingoa; ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, he kite, “E Anania.” Ka mea tērā, “Tēnei ahau, e te Ariki.”

¹¹ Anō rā ko te Ariki ki a ia, “Whaka­tika, haere ki te ara e kīa nei ko Torotika, ka ui i te whare o Hūrā mō tētahi ko Haora te ingoa, nō Tarahu. Nā, kei te īnoi ia.

¹² Ā, kua kite ia i tētahi tangata, ko Anania te ingoa, e tomo mai ana, e whaka­pā ana i ōna ringa ki a ia, kia kite ai ia.”

¹³ Otirā, ka whaka­hoki a Anania, “E te Ariki, he toko­maha āku i rongo ai mō tēnei tangata, ki te nui o te kino i mea ai ia ki tāu hunga tapu i Hiruhārama;

¹⁴ ā, tēnei anō kei a ia he mana nā ngā tohu­nga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tōu ingoa.”

¹⁵ Heoi, ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, “Haere; nō te mea he kaupapa whiri­whiri ia nāku, hei mau i tōku ingoa ki te aro­aro o ngā tauiwi, o ngā kīngi, o ngā tama hoki a Īharaira.

¹⁶ Ka whaka­kitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o ngā mea e mamae ai ia mō tōku ingoa.”

¹⁷ Nā, haere ana a Anania, tomo ana ki roto ki te whare. Ka whaka­pā i ōna ringa ki a ia, ka mea, “E tōku teina, e Haora, nā te Ariki, nā Īhu, i puta rā ki a koe i te ara i haere mai nā koe, nāna ahau i tono mai, kia kite ai koe, ā, kia kī ai hoki i te Wairua Tapu.”

¹⁸ Nā, marere tonu iho ētahi mea, ānō he unahi, i ōna kanohi, ā, kite ana ia, ka whaka­tika, ka iri­iria.

¹⁹ Nā, ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Nā, noho ana a Haora ki ngā ākonga i Ramahiku mō ētahi rā.

Ka Kauwhau a Haora i Ramahiku

²⁰ Ā, i reira tonu kauwhau­tia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i ngā whare kara­kia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.

²¹ Ā, mīharo ana te hunga katoa i rongo, ka mea, “Ehara ianei tēnei i te kai­tūkino o te hunga i karanga ki tēnei ingoa i Hiruhārama? Ā, ko te mea anō tēnei i haere mai ai ia, kia herea rātou, kia āra­hina ki ngā tohu­nga nui?”

²² Ko Haora ia ka nui haere kē atu tōna kaha, ā, whaka­poro­raru­tia ana e ia ngā Hūrai e noho ana i Ramahiku, i a ia e whaka­kite ana ko te Karaiti tēnei.

²³ Ā, ka maha ngā rā ka pahure, ka rū­nanga ngā Hūrai kia whaka­matea ia.

²⁴ Heoi, i mātau a Haora ki tā rātou whaka­papa­nga mōna. Ā, whanga ana rātou ki ngā tatau i te ao, i te pō, kia whaka­matea ia;

²⁵ otiia, i mau ngā ākonga ki a ia i te pō, tukua iho ana e rātou rā te taiepa i roto i te kete.

Ko Haora kei Hiruhārama

²⁶ Ā, nō tōna taenga mai ki Hiruhārama, ka whai ia kia uru atu ia ki ngā ākonga; heoi, wehi katoa ana rātou i a ia, kīhai i whaka­pono he ākonga ia.

²⁷ Ko Pānapa ia i tango i a ia, ā, mauria ana ia ki ngā āpō­toro, kōrero­tia ana e ia ki a rātou tōna kite­nga i te Ariki i te ara, tāna kōrero­tanga ki a ia, tōna māia hoki ki te kauwhau i Ramahiku i runga i te ingoa o Īhu.

²⁸ Nā, ka noho ia ki a rātou, hāere­ere atu ana, hāere­ere mai ana i Hiruhārama.

²⁹ Me te māia hoki ki te kauwhau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; ā, kōrero ana ia, totohe ana ki ngā Hūrai Kariki. Otirā ka whaka­ngākau rātou kia whaka­matea ia.

³⁰ Nō te mōhio­tanga o ngā tuā­kana, ka mauria ia e rātou ki raro ki Hiha­ria, ā, tonoa atu ana ia ki Tarahu.

³¹ Nā, ka whai tānga manawa te hāhi, puta noa i Hūria katoa, i Kariri, i Hamaria, ā tupu ana; haere ana i runga i te wehi o te Ariki, i te whaka­mārie hoki a te Wairua Tapu, nō ka whaka­roaka.

Ko Pita kei Raira kei Hopa

³² Nā, i a Pita e hāere­ere ana puta noa ngā wāhi katoa, ka tae iho hoki ia ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Raira.

³³ Ka kitea e ia i reira tētahi tangata ko Inia te ingoa, kua waru ōna tau e takoto ana i runga i tōna moenga; he pararūtiki hoki ia.

³⁴ Nā, ko te mea­tanga a Pita ki a ia, “E Inia, ka ora koe i a Īhu Karaiti; whaka­tika, whā­riki­tia tōu moenga.” Nā, whaka­tika tonu ake ia.

³⁵ I kite katoa hoki i a ia te hunga e noho ana i Raira, i Harona, ā, tahuri ana ki te Ariki.

³⁶ Nā, tērā tētahi ākonga i Hopa e noho ana, ko Tapita te ingoa, ko te whaka­māori­tanga ko Roka. He wahine tēnei i aro nui ki ngā mahi pai, ki ngā mahi ata­whai rawa­kore.

³⁷ Ā, i aua rā ka tū­roro­tia ia, ka mate. Ā, ka oti ia te horoi e rātou, ka whaka­takoto­ria ia ki tētahi rūma i runga.

³⁸ Nā, i te mea e tata atu ana a Raira ki Hopa, ka rongo ngā ākonga kei reira a Pita, ā, ka tonoa e rātou toko­rua ngā tāngata ki a ia, hei mea, “Kaua e whaka­roa te haere mai ki a mātou.”

³⁹ Nā, whaka­tika ana a Pita, haere ana i a rāua. Ā, i tōna taenga atu ka āra­hina e rātou ki te rūma i runga. Ā, tū ana ngā pouaru katoa i tōna taha, tangi ana, ka whaka­kite ki a ia i ngā koti, i ngā kākahu i hangā e Roka, i a ia e noho ana i a rātou.

⁴⁰ Otiia, ka tonoa rātou katoa e Pita ki waho, ka tuku ia i ōna turi, ka īnoi; kātahi ka tahuri ake ia ki te tū­pā­paku, ka mea, “Tapita, e ara.” Nā, ka ti­tiro ōna kanohi, ā, i tōna kite­nga i a Pita, ka noho ia ki runga.

⁴¹ Kātahi, ka hoatu e ia tōna ringa ki a ia, ka whaka­ara ake i a ia. Ā, karanga­tia ana e ia te hunga tapu me ngā pouaru, ā, tukua oratia atu ana ia.

⁴² Ā, i mōhio­tia tēnei mea puta noa i Hopa katoa; he toko­maha hoki i whaka­pono ki te Ariki.

⁴³ Ā, he maha ōna rā i noho ai ia ki Hopa, ki a Haimona kai­mahi hiako.
