Whakakitenga 21 - Te Kawenata Hou

Te Rangi Hou me te Whenua Hou

¹ Ā, i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou. Kua pahemo hoki te rangi tua­tahi, me te whenua tua­tahi, ā, kāhore atu he moana.

² I kite anō ahau i te pā tapu, i Hiruhārama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ānō he wahine mārena hou kua oti te whaka­pai­pai mō tāna tāne.

³ I rongo anō ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana: “Nā, kei ngā tāngata te ta­pe­nā­kara o te Atua, ā, e noho ia ki a rātou; ko rātou hoki hei iwi māna, ko te Atua nei anō hei a rātou, hei Atua mō rātou.

⁴ Ka murua hoki e ia ngā roi­mata katoa i ō rātou kanohi; ā, kore ake he mate; kāhore hoki he auē, kāhore he tangi, kāhore he mamae, i ngā wā i muri nei. Kua pahemo atu hoki ngā mea ō mua.”

⁵ Ā, ka kōrero mai tērā e noho rā i runga i te torōna: “Nā, ka hangā houtia e ahau ngā mea katoa.” I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, “Tuhi­tuhia. Nō te mea he pono, he tika ēnei kupu.”

⁶ I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, “Kua oti ēnei mea. Ko ahau te Ārepa, te Ōmeka, te tīma­tanga, te whaka­mutu­nga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata mate­wai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora.

⁷ Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, e whi­whi ia ki ēnei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mōna, ko ia hei tama māku.

⁸ Nā, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whaka­teka, ko te hunga whaka­riha­riha, ko ngā kai­kōhuru, ko te hunga moe­puku, ko te hunga mākutu, ko te hunga kara­kia ki te whaka­pakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wāhi mō rātou kei te roto e kā ana i te ahi, i te whānā­riki; ko te mate­nga tuarua tēnei.”

Te Hiruhārama Hou

⁹ Nā, ka haere mai ki ahau tētahi o ngā ana­hera e whitu, kei a rātou nei ngā oko e whitu e kī ana i ngā whiu whaka­mutu­nga e whitu; ka kī mai ki ahau, ka mea, “Haere mai, māku e whaka­kite ki a koe te wahine mārena hou, te wahine a te Reme.”

¹⁰ Nā, haria ana ahau e ia i roto i te wairua ki tētahi maunga nui, tike­tike, ā, ka whaka­kitea mai ki ahau te pā tapu, a Hiruhārama, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua.

¹¹ Kei taua pā anō te korōria o te Atua. Rite tonu tōna mārama ki tō te kōhatu utu nui whaka­hara­hara, ānō he kōhatu hahapa, mārama tonu me he kara­ihe;

¹² he taiepa kōhatu anō tōna, he mea nui, tike­tike, tekau mā rua ngā tatau, kotahi tekau mā rua anō ngā ana­hera i ngā tatau, tuhi­tuhi rawa ki te ingoa, arā ki ngā ingoa o ngā hapū kotahi tekau mā rua o ngā tama a Īharaira.

¹³ I te rā­whiti e toru ngā tatau; i te hau­raro e toru ngā tatau; i te tonga e toru ngā tatau; i te hau­āuru e toru ngā tatau.

¹⁴ Ā, ko te taiepa o te pā, kotahi tekau mā rua ōna tū­ranga, kei aua tū­ranga anō ngā ingoa o ngā āpō­toro a te Reme, kotahi tekau mā rua.

¹⁵ Nā, ko tērā i kōrero rā ki ahau, he kākaho kōura tāna hei whanga­nga māna i te pā, i ōna tatau, i tōna taiepa kōhatu.

¹⁶ Nā, ko te takoto o te pā, e whā ngā poti, tōna roa rite tonu ki tōna whānui. Nā, ka whanganga­tia e ia te pā ki te kākaho, kotahi tekau mā rua mano ngā pā­ronga. Ko tōna roa, ko te whānui, ko te ike­ike, rite tonu.

¹⁷ Nā, ka whanganga­tia anō e ia tōna taiepa, kotahi rau e whā tekau mā whā ngā whatīa­nga, he rūri nā te tangata, arā nā te ana­hera.

¹⁸ Nā, ko te mea i hangā ai tōna taiepa he hahapa, he kōura para­kore anō hoki te pā, rite tonu ki te kara­ihe mārama.

¹⁹ Ko ngā tū­ranga o te taiepa o te pā he mea whaka­pai­pai ki ngā kōhatu utu nui katoa. Ko te tū­ranga tua­tahi he hahapa, ko te tuarua, he hapaira, ko te tua­toru, he kara­keroni, ko te tuawhā, he eme­rara,

²⁰ ko te tua­rima, he hara­ronika, ko te tuaono, he hara­riu, ko te tua­whitu, he kari­­horita, ko te tua­waru, he peri­ra, ko te tuaiwa, he tōpaha, ko te nga­huru, he kari­hopa­raha, ko te tekau mā tahi, he haki­niti, ko te tekau mā rua, he ame­ti­hita.

²¹ Nā, ko ngā tatau kotahi tekau mā rua, kotahi tekau mā rua peara. Ko tēnei tatau, ko tēnei tatau, kotahi tonu peara. Ko te hua­rahi hoki o te pā he kōura para­kore, ko ia ānō kei te kara­ihe pīata.

²² Nā, kīhai ahau i kite i tētahi whare tapu i reira. Ko te Ariki hoki, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa rāua ko te Reme te whare tapu o reira.

²³ Kāhore hoki taua pā i mea ki te rā mōna, ki te marama rānei, hei whiti ki roto. E whaka­mārama­tia ana hoki a reira e te korōria o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tōna mārama.

²⁴ E haere hoki ngā tauiwi i waenga­nui o tōna mārama, ā, e kawea mai anō hoki e ngā kīngi o te ao tō rātou korōria ki reira.

²⁵ E kore hoki ōna tatau e tū­taki­na i te awa­tea; kore ake hoki o reira pō.

²⁶ Ā, e kawea mai hoki te korōria me te hōnore o ngā tauiwi ki reira.

²⁷ E kore anō e tomo ki roto tētahi mea whaka­noa, te tangata rānei e mahi ana i te whaka­riha­riha, i te teka rānei. Ko te hunga anake kua oti te tuhi­tuhi ki tā te Reme puka­puka o te ora.
