Te Kupu ki Epeha

¹ “Tuhi­tuhi atu ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Epeha: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te kai­pupuri i ngā whetū e whitu i tōna matau, e hāere­ere ana i waenga­nui o ngā tū­ranga rama kōura e whitu.

² Ka mātau ahau ki āu mahi, ki tōu uaua, ki tōu manawa­nui, e kore hoki koe e āta hanga ki te hunga kino. Kua whaka­mā­tau­tau­ria hoki e koe te hunga e mea nei he āpō­toro rātou, ā, ehara, kua mau i a koe he hunga teka rātou.

³ I whaka­manawa­nui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pēhia, he whaka­aro ki tōku ingoa, kāhore hoki i hōhā.

⁴ Otirā, he mea anō tāku ki a koe, kua whaka­rērea e koe tōu aroha tua­tahi.

⁵ Nā, kia mahara ki te wāhi i taka iho ai koe, rīpe­netā, mahia hoki ngā mahi ō mua; ki te kāhore, ka hohoro tāku haere atu ki a koe, ka neke­hia atu e ahau tōu tū­ranga rama i tōna wāhi ki te kore koe e rīpe­netā.

⁶ Ko tēnei ia tāu nā, e kino ana koe ki ngā hanga a ngā Nīkoraiti, e kino­ngia nei hoki e ahau.

⁷ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. “Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ka hoatu e ahau māna e kai tō te rākau o te ora, e tū ana i waenga­nui o te Pararaiha o te Atua.”

Te Kupu ki Hamurana

⁸ “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Hamurana: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te Tua­tahi, a te Whaka­mutu­nga, i mate nei, ā, kua ora anō.

⁹ Ka mātau ahau ki tōu tūkino­tanga ki tōu rawa­kore­tanga; engari he whai rawa tonu koe. E mātau ana anō ahau ki ngā hahani a te hunga e mea nei he Hūrai rātou, ā, ehara, engari ko te whaka­mene­nga rātou a Hātana.

¹⁰ Kaua e wehi ki ngā mamae meāke nei pā ki a koe. Nā, tērā e makā ētahi o koutou e te rēwera ki te whare here­here, kia whaka­mā­tau­tau­ria ai koutou; ā, ka whaka­mamae­tia koutou kotahi tekau ngā rā. Kia pono koe ā mate noa, ā, māku e hoatu ki a koe te karauna o te ora.

¹¹ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. “Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, e kore ia e hē i te mate­nga tuarua.”

Te Kupu ki Perekamu

¹² “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Perekamu: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te kaimau i te hoari koi, i te mea mata­rua.

¹³ Ka mātau ahau ki te wāhi e noho nā koe, ko te wāhi ia i te torōna o Hātana. E mau ana hoki koe ki tōku ingoa, kāhore hoki koe i whaka­kāhore ki tōku whaka­pono, i ngā rā iara i tāku kai­whaka­atu pono, i a Anatipa, i whaka­matea nei i roto i a koutou i te wāhi e noho nā a Hātana.

¹⁴ Tēnei ia ētahi mea āku ki a koe, nō te mea kei a koe te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a Paraama, nāna nei i whaka­ako a Paraka ki te maka tūtuki­tanga wae­wae ki te aro­aro o ngā tama a Īharaira, i kai ai rātou i ngā mea i patua mā te whaka­pakoko, i moe­puku ai hoki.

¹⁵ Kei a koe anō hoki te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a ngā Nīkoraiti, pērā anō.

¹⁶ Nō reira, rīpe­netā; nā, ki te kāhore, ka hohoro tāku haere atu ki a koe, ā, ka whawhai­tia rātou e ahau ki te hoari a tōku māngai.

¹⁷ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. “Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ka hoatu e ahau te mana huna, ka hoatu anō e ahau ki a ia he kōhatu mā, me te ingoa hou, he mea tuhi­tuhi ki te kōhatu, e kore nei e mātau­ria e tētahi, ko te tangata anake e whi­whi ana.”

Te Kupu ki Taiataira

¹⁸ “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera te hāhi o Taiataira: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te Tama a te Atua, ko ōna kanohi nei me te mea he mura ahi, ōna wae­wae rite tonu ki te parāhi pīata.

¹⁹ E mātau ana ahau ki āu mahi, ki tōu aroha, ki tāu mahi minita, ki tōu whaka­pono, ki tōu manawa­nui, ā, nui atu āu mahi ō muri nei i ngā mea ō mua.

²⁰ Tēnei anō ia ētahi mea āku ki a koe, nō te mea e tukua ana e koe taua wahine a Ietēpere, e mea nei he poro­piti ia; kei te whaka­ako, kei te kukume i āku pono­nga kia moe­puku, kia kai anō hoki i ngā mea e patua ana mā ngā whaka­pakoko.

²¹ Ā, i hoatu e ahau ki a ia he tāima e rīpe­netā ai ia; otirā, kāhore ia e pai kia rīpe­netā i tāna moe­puku.

²² Nā, ka makā ia e ahau ki tētahi moenga, me te hunga e pūremu ana ki a ia, ki roto ki te whiu tai­maha, me­he­mea kāhore rātou e rīpe­netā ki ā rātou mahi.

²³ Ka whaka­matea hoki e ahau āna tama­riki kia mate rawa; ā, ka mātau ngā hāhi katoa ko ahau te kai­rapu i tā ngā whatu­manawa, i tā ngā ngākau. Ka rite hoki ki ā koutou mahi tāku e hoatu ai ki tēnei, ki tēnei o koutou.

²⁴ “Ko tāku kupu ia tēnei ki a koutou, ki ērā atu hoki i Taiataira, ki te hunga kāhore nei i a rātou tēnei ako, kāhore anō kia mātau ki ngā mea hōhonu a Hātana, ki tā rātou e kōrero nei; e kore e whaka­wahā e ahau tētahi atu mea tai­maha ki a koutou.

²⁵ Ko te mea ia i a koutou, puri­tia kia mau kia tae atu rā anō ahau.

²⁶ Nā, ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ko te tangata hoki e puri­tia e ia āku mahi taea noatia te mutu­nga, māku e hoatu ki a ia he mana ranga­tira ki ngā tauiwi.

²⁷ He rino hoki te toko­toko e whaka­haere tikanga ai ia mō rātou, ka pērā i ngā oko a te kai­poke­poke paru, ka pakaru riki­riki; ka rite ki tā tōku Matua i hōmai ai ki ahau.

²⁸ Ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia te whetū o te ata.

²⁹ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi.”
