Ko Īhu te Wāina Pono
1“Ko ahau te wāina pono, ko tōku Matua te kaimahi. 2Ko ngā manga katoa i roto i ahau e kore e whai hua, e tangohia e ia. Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e whai hua ana, ka whakapaia e ia, kia maha atu ai ōna hua. 3Nā, kua mā tēnei koutou i te kupu i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou. 4Kia ū koutou ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a koutou. Ka rite hoki ki te manga e kore e whai hua ko ia anake, ki te kāhore e ū ki te wāina; e kore anō hoki koutou, ki te kore e ū ki roto ki ahau.
5“Ko ahau te wāina, ko koutou ngā manga. Ki te ū tētahi ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a ia, ka maha o tērā hua; ki te motu kē hoki i ahau, e kore tētahi mea e taea e koutou. 6Ki te kore e ū tētahi ki roto ki ahau, ka makā atu ia, ānō he manga, ā, ka maroke; nā, ka kohikohia, ka makā ki te kāpura, ka tahuna. 7Ki te ū koutou ki roto ki ahau, ki te ū anō āku kupu ki roto ki a koutou, īnoia e koutou tā koutou e pai ai, ā, ka meatia mā koutou. 8Ka whakakorōriatia tōku Matua ki te pēnei, ki te whai hua maha koutou, ā, ka meinga koutou he ākonga nāku.
9“Rite tonu ki tō te Matua aroha ki ahau tōku aroha ki a koutou; kia ū ki tōku aroha. 10Ki te pupuri koutou i āku ture, ka ū koutou ki tōku aroha; me ahau hoki kua pupuri nei i ngā ture a tōku Matua, ka ū nei ki tōna aroha. 11Kua kōrerotia ēnei mea e ahau ki a koutou, kia pūmau ai tōku koa i roto i a koutou, kia tino kī ai tō koutou koa. 12Ko tāku ture tēnei, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi, me ahau hoki kua aroha nei ki a koutou. 13Kāhore he aroha o tētahi i rahi ake i tēnei, arā, kia tuku te tangata i a ia anō kia mate mō ōna hoa. 14Ko koutou ōku hoa, ki te meatia e koutou āku e whakahau nei ki a koutou. 15Heoi anō tāku meatanga he pononga koutou; e kore hoki te pononga e mōhio ki tā tōna ariki e mea ai; engari, kua oti koutou te hua e ahau he hoa; ko āku mea katoa hoki i rongo ai ahau ki tōku Matua, kua oti te whakakite e ahau ki a koutou. 16Kāhore koutou i whiriwhiri i ahau, engari, nāku koutou i whiriwhiri, nāku anō koutou i mea kia haere, kia whai hua, kia mau tonu hoki ō koutou hua; ā, ko tā koutou e īnoi ai ki te Matua i runga i tōku ingoa, ka hoatu e ia ki a koutou. 17Ko āku whakahau ēnei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi.”
Ko te Kino o te Ao
18“Ki te mea e kinongia ana koutou e te ao, e mōhio ana koutou i kinongia ahau i mua i a koutou. 19Mehemea nō te ao koutou, e arohaina e te ao ōna. Tēnā ko tēnei, ehara nei koutou i te ao, nāku koutou i whiriwhiri i roto i te ao, koia te ao ka kino ai ki a koutou. 20Kia mahara ki te kupu i kōrero ai ahau ki a koutou, kāhore te pononga e rahi ake i tōna ariki. Ki te mea i whakatoia ahau e rātou, ka whakatoia anō koutou; ki te mea i pupuri rātou i tāku kupu, ka pupuri anō rātou i tā koutou. 21Otirā, e meatia katoatia ēnei mea e rātou ki a koutou he whakaaro ki tōku ingoa, nō te mea kāhore rātou i mōhio ki tōku kaitono mai. 22Me i kaua ahau te haere mai, te kōrero ki a rātou, pēnei kāhore ō rātou hara. Tēnā ko tēnei, kāhore ō rātou whakaoraora mō tō rātou hara. 23Ko te tangata e whakakino ana ki ahau, e whakakino ana hoki ki tōku Matua. 24Me i kaua te mahia e ahau i roto i a rātou ngā mahi kāhore i mahia e tētahi atu, pēnei kāhore ō rātou hara. Tēnā ko tēnei, kua kite rātou, kua whakakino anō hoki ki a māua tahi ko tōku Matua. 25Mā tēnei ia ka rite ai te kupu i tuhituhia ki tā rātou ture, ‘Kua kino noa rātou ki ahau.’
26“Otiia, ka tae mai te Kaiwhakamārie e tonoa mai e ahau ki a koutou i te Matua, te Wairua o te pono, e puta mai ana i te Matua, ko ia hei kaiwhakaatu mōku: 27ko koutou anō hoki hei kaiwhakaatu, nō te mea i ahau koutou nō te tīmatanga iho rā anō.”
