Te Kupu ki Harariha

¹ “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Harariha: “Ko ngā kupu āna, kei a ia nei ngā wairua e whitu o te Atua, me ngā whetū e whitu. Ka mātau ahau ki āu mahi, nā, he ingoa tōu, e ora ana koe, heoi, he tū­pā­paku anō koe.

² Kia mata­ara, whaka­ū­kia ngā mea e toe nei, ka tata nei te mate; kāhore hoki ahau i kite i āu mahi kia tino rite ki te aro­aro o tōku Atua.

³ Kia mahara rā ki te riro­nga o ngā mea i a koe, ki āu i rongo ai, ā, puri­tia, rīpe­netā hoki. Nā, ki te kore koe e mata­ara, ka tae atu ahau ki a koe, ānō he tāhae; e kore hoki koe e mātau ki te hāora e tae atu ai ahau ki a koe.

⁴ Tēnā anō kei a koe ētahi ingoa ouou nei i Harariha; kāhore nei i poke ō rātou kākahu. Ka hāere­ere tahi ēnā me ahau, he mā ngā kākahu; nō te mea he pai rātou.

⁵ Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ka whaka­kākahu­ria ia ki te kākahu mā; e kore anō hoki e ūkuia e ahau tōna ingoa i te puka­puka o te ora, ā, ka whaka­ae­tia e ahau tōna ingoa ki te aro­aro o tōku Matua, ki te aro­aro anō hoki o āna ana­hera.

⁶ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi.”

Te Kupu ki Pirarerepia

⁷ “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Pirarerepia: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te tapu, a te pono, kei a ia nei te kī o Rāwiri, ko ia hei whaka­puare, ā, kāhore tētahi hei tūtaki; māna hoki e tūtaki, ā, kāhore tētahi hei whaka­puare.

⁸ E mātau ana ahau ki āu mahi. Nā, kua hoatu e ahau ki tōu aro­aro he tatau puare, e kore nei e taea te tūtaki e tētahi. He kaha hoki tōu, he mea iti nei, kua puri­tia anō e koe tāku kupu, kāhore anō hoki koe i whaka­kāhore ki tōku ingoa.

⁹ Nā, māku e mea te hunga o te whaka­mene­nga a Hātana, e mea nei he Hūrai rātou, ā, ehara, he teka hoki nā rātou; nā, māku rātou e mea kia haere mai, kia koro­piko ki mua i ōu wae­wae, ā, kia mātau kua aroha­ina koe e ahau.

¹⁰ Nō te mea kua puri­tia e koe te kupu o tāku manawa­nui, wai­hoki ka puri­tia koe e ahau i te hāora o te whaka­mā­tautau­ranga, i taua hāora meāke nei puta ki te ao katoa, hei whaka­mā­tau­tau i te hunga e noho ana i te whenua.

¹¹ Ka hohoro tāku haere atu; kia mau ki tāu, kei tango­hia tōu karauna e tētahi.

¹² Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, māku ia e mea hei pou i roto i te whare o tōku Atua, ā, e kore ia e haere atu i konā ki waho ā muri atu; māku hoki e tuhi­tuhi ki runga ki a ia te ingoa o tōku Atua, te ingoa hoki o te pā o tōku Atua, o Hiruhārama hou, ka heke iho nei i te rangi i tōku Atua, me tōku ingoa hou anō hoki.

¹³ “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi.”

Te Kupu ki Raorikia

¹⁴ “Tuhi­tuhi atu hoki ki te ana­hera o te hāhi i Raorikia: “Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te Āmine, a te kai­whaka­atu pono, tika, a te tīma­tanga o tā te Atua hanga­nga;

¹⁵ E mātau ana ahau ki āu mahi, ehara koe i te mātao, ehara koe i te wera. Ka pai ahau me i mātao koe, me i wera rānei.

¹⁶ Heoi, i te mea he mahana­hana kau koe, ehara i te mātao, ehara i te wera, ka ruaki­na atu koe e ahau i roto i tōku māngai.

¹⁷ Nō te mea e kī ana koe, ‘Kua whai taonga ahau, kua tini āku rawa, kāhore hoki tētahi mea e matea ana e ahau.’ Kāhore hoki e mātau he wai­koro­huhū noa iho koe, he hē noa iho, he rawa­kore, he matapō, he mea kākahu­kore.

¹⁸ Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, kia hokona e koe i ahau he kōura kua oti te tahu ki te ahi, kia whai rawa ai koe; he kākahu mā hoki, hei kākahu ki a koe, kia kaua ai e kitea te whaka­mā o tōu tūnga kau­tanga; he rongoā hoki hei pani ki ōu kanohi, kia kite ai koe.

¹⁹ Ko āku e aroha nei, ka rīria e ahau, ka whiua; nā, kia ngākau nui koe, rīpe­netā hoki.

²⁰ Nā, tēnei ahau te tū nei i te tatau, te pā­tuki­tuki nei; ki te whaka­rongo tētahi ki tōku reo, ā, ka uaki i te tatau, ka tomo atu ahau ki a ia, hei hoa kai mōna, ko ia hoki hei hoa kai mōku.

²¹ Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia kia noho ki tōku taha ki runga ki tōku torōna, pēnei me ahau i ahau nei te wiki­tōria, kua noho ki te taha o tōku Matua i runga i tōna torōna.

²² “Ko te tangata he tari­nga tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi.”
