Ruka 6 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Hāpati

¹ Nā, i te hāpati ka haere ia rā waenga wīti; ā, kato­hia ana e āna ākonga ngā puku, wīti, kainga ake, he mea kō­muku­muku ki te ringa.

² Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā Parihi, “He aha koutou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika kia mahia i te hāpati?”

³ Nā, ka whaka­hoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore ianei koutou i kite i tā Rāwiri i mea ai, i a ia e mate ana i te hia­kai, rātou ko ōna hoa.

⁴ I tōna tomo­kanga ki te whare o te Atua, ka tango ia i ngā taro aro­aro, nā, kainga ana e ia, hoatu ana hoki ki ōna hoa; ko ngā mea kīhai nei i tika kia kainga, engari mā ngā tohu­nga anake?”

⁵ I mea anō ia ki a rātou, “Ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hāpati.”

Te Tangata i te Ringa Memenge

⁶ Ā, i tētahi atu hāpati ka tomo ia ki te whare kara­kia, ka whaka­ako; i reira anō tētahi tangata, ko tōna ringa matau kua memenge.

⁷ Ka ti­tiro whaka­mau ngā kara­ipi me ngā Parihi ki a ia, me kore ia e whaka­ora i te hāpati; kia whai take ai hei whaka­wā­kanga mōna.

⁸ Nā, ka mōhio ia ki ō rātou whaka­aro, ka mea ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, “Whaka­tika, e tū ki waenga­nui.” Ā, whaka­tika ana ia, tū ana.

⁹ Kātahi ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Māku hoki e ui ki a koutou; he mea tika rānei te mahi pai i te hāpati, te mahi kino rānei? Te whaka­ora, te whaka­mate rānei?”

¹⁰ Nā, ka tiro­tiro ia ki a rātou katoa ka mea ki taua tangata, “Totoro mai tōu ringa.” Ā, pērā ana ia; nā, kua ora anō tōna ringa.

¹¹ Nā, kī tonu rātou i te hono­honoā ka kōrero­rero ki a rātou anō, me aha rānei a Īhu e rātou.

Ka Whiriwhiria e Īhu ngā Āpōtoro Tekau mā rua

¹² Ā, i aua rā ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te īnoi, he īnoi tonu tāna i te roa o te pō ki te Atua.

¹³ Ā, ka ao te rā, ka karanga­tia e ia āna ākonga; ka whiri­whiria e ia kotahi tekau mā rua o rātou, ā, huaina ana hoki e ia hei āpō­toro:

¹⁴ Ko Haimona (i huaina hoki e ia ko Pita) ko tōna teina ko Anaru; ko Hēmi rāua ko Hoani, ko Piripi rāua ko Patoromu,

¹⁵ ko Matiu rāua ko Tamati, ko Hēmi tama a Arapiu, ko Haimona (e kīa nei ko Heroti),

¹⁶ ko Hūrā tama a Hēmi, ko Hūrā Ikariote hoki, ko ia nei te kai­tuku.

Ka Ako ka Whakaora a Īhu

¹⁷ Nā, ka heke ngā­tahi iho rātou, tū ana i tētahi wāhi tai­rite, rātou ko te rōpū o āna ākonga, me te hui­hui­nga nui o te iwi i Hūria katoa, i Hiruhārama, i te taha hoki o te moana o Tāira o Hairona, i haere mai nei ki te whaka­rongo ki a ia, kia whaka­ora­ngia hoki ō rātou mate;

¹⁸ me te hunga anō e whaka­toia ana e ngā wairua poke, ā, whaka­ora­ngia ana rātou.

¹⁹ I whai anō te mano katoa kia pā ki a ia; i puta hoki he kaha i a ia, ā, whaka­ora­ngia ana rātou katoa.

Te Hari me te Pōuri

²⁰ Nā, ka ti­tiro ōna kanohi ki āna ākonga, ka mea ia, “Ka koa koutou, e ngā rawa­kore; mō koutou hoki te ranga­tira­tanga o te Atua!

²¹ Ka koa koutou e hia­kai nei ināia­nei; ka mākona hoki koutou! Ka koa koutou e tangi nei ināia­nei; e kata hoki koutou!

²² “Ka koa koutou ina kino­ngia koutou e ngā tāngata, ina wehea atu i roto i a rātou, ina tāwaia ina rukea atu tō koutou ingoa, ānō he mea kino, mō te whaka­aro ki te Tama a te tangata.

²³ Kia hari i taua rā, me te tū­peke­peke. He nui hoki tō koutou utu i te rangi; i pērā­tia hoki ngā poro­piti e ō rātou mātua.

²⁴ Otirā, auē te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga taonga; kua riro hoki i a koutou tō koutou whaka­mārie!

²⁵ Auē, te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e mākona ana ināia­nei, e mate hoki koutou i te hia­kai! Auē, te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e kata ana ināia­nei, ka auē hoki koutou, ka tangi!

²⁶ “Auē, te mate mō koutou ua kōrero­tia paitia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa! I pērā hoki ō rātou mātua ki ngā poro­piti teka.

Te Aroha ki ngā Hoariri

²⁷ “Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou e whaka­rongo mai nei: aroha­ina ō koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou.

²⁸ Manaaki­tia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me īnoi mō te hunga e whaka­whiu ana i a koutou.

²⁹ Nā, ki te pākia tōu pā­pā­ringa e tētahi, whaka­anga­hia atu hoki tētahi; ki te tango­hia tōu ngeri e tētahi, kaua e kai­ponu­hia tōu koti.

³⁰ Hoatu ki ngā tāngata katoa e īnoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa āu mea ki te tango­hia e te tangata.

³¹ Ā, ko tā koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ngā tāngata ki a koutou, meatia anō e koutou ki a rātou.

³² “Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whaka­whetai ki a koutou? E aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a rātou.

³³ Ki te ata­whai hoki koutou i te hunga e ata­whai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whaka­whetai ki a koutou? E pēnā ana anō te hunga hara.

³⁴ Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai rātou, kei hea he whaka­whetai ki a koutou? E tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mō te pērā kia whaka­hokia ki a rātou.

³⁵ Engari, kia aroha ki ō koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a rātou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua anō e mutu te tū­mana­ko; ā, tērā e rahi te whaka­utu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tama­riki mā te Runga Rawa; e ata­whai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e whaka­whetai, i te hunga kino.

³⁶ Kia ngā­wari rāpea koutou, kia pērā me tō koutou Matua e ngā­wari ana.

Te Whakawā i Ētahi atu

³⁷ “Kaua e whaka­wā, ā, e kore koutou e whaka­wā­kia; kaua e whaka­tau hē, e kore te hē, ā, e whaka­taua ki a koutou. Houhia te rongo, ā, e houhia anō te rongo ki a koutou.

³⁸ Hoatu, ā, ka hōmai ki a koutou; he mēhua pai, pēhi rawa, oioi rawa, pūrena tonu tā rātou e hōmai ai ki te kokoru o ō koutou kākahu. Ko te mēhua hoki e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou.”

³⁹ Ā, ka puaki tāna kupu whaka­rite ki a rātou: “E āhei rānei te matapō te ārahi i te matapō? E kore rānei e taka tahi rāua ki te poka?

⁴⁰ E kore te ākonga e rahi ake i tōna kai­whaka­ako; engari, ka rite anō ki ō rātou kai­whaka­ako ngā tāngata katoa kua tino pū­kenga­tia.

⁴¹ “He aha tāu e ti­tiro ki te ota­ota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē kite i te kuru­pae i tōu ake kanohi?

⁴² Ā, me pēhea e taea ai e koe te kōrero ki tōu teina, ‘E tōku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te ota­ota i roto i tōu kanohi,’ tē kite i te kuru­pae i roto i tōu kanohi? E te tangata tini­hanga, mātua kapea atu e koe te kuru­pae i roto i tōu kanohi, kātahi koe ka mārama ai ki te kape i te ota­ota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina.

He Rākau me āna Hua

⁴³ “E kore hoki te rākau āta­ahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore anō te rākau kino e hua i te hua āta­ahua.

⁴⁴ Mā ōna hua tonu ka mōhio­tia ai tēnei rākau, tēnei rākau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i ngā tā­tarā­moa, e kore anō e whakia he karepe i runga i te tū­mata­kuru.

⁴⁵ He tangata pai, he pai tāna e whaka­puta ai i roto i te taonga pai o tōna ngākau. He tangata kino, he kino tāna e whaka­puta ai i roto i ngā taonga kino o tōna ngākau. He pūrena­tanga hoki nō te ngākau ngā kupu a te māngai.

Ngā Kaihanga Whare Tokorua

⁴⁶ “He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ tē mahi i āku e kōrero ai?

⁴⁷ Nā, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki āku kupu, ā, e mahi ana, māku e whaka­atu ki a koutou tōna rite.

⁴⁸ Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare, i keri, i whaka­hōhonu, ā, whaka­takoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka. Ā, i te pu­tanga o te wai­puke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kīhai i taea te whaka­ngāueue; nō te mea i ū tōna hanga­nga.

⁴⁹ Tēnā ko te tangata i rongo, ā, kīhai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare ki runga ki te one­one, tē ai he tū­ranga; i te pākaru­tanga o te roma, nā, hinga tonu iho; ā, nui atu te pakaru o taua whare.”
