Te Whakaoratanga i te Kaukauranga
1Muri iho i ēnei mea he hākari tā ngā Hūrai, ā, haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama. 2Nā, kei Hiruhārama tētahi wai kaukauranga kei te tatau hipi, tōna ingoa Hiperu ko Petehera; e rima ōna whakamahau. 3Nā, kei roto i ēnei e takoto ana tōna tini o ngā tūroro, o ngā matapō, o ngā kopa, o ngā memenge, e tatari ana ki te pōkarekarenga o te wai. 4Heke iho ai hoki tētahi anahera i te wā i rite ai ki te kaukauranga, whakapōkarekare ai i te wai; ā, ko ia kua tae wawe i muri iho o te pōkarekarenga o te wai i ora i tōna mate, ahakoa he aha, he aha. 5Nā, kei reira tētahi tangata, e toru tekau mā waru ngā tau e mate ana. 6Nō te kitenga o Īhu i a ia e takoto ana, ka mātau kua roa kē te wā ōna e mate ana, ka mea ki a ia, “E pai ana rānei koe kia whakaorangia?”
7Ka whakahokia e taua tūroro ki a ia, “E te Ariki, kāhore āku tāngata hei tuku i ahau ki te kaukauranga, ina whakapōkarekarea te wai; heoi, i ahau e haere ana, ka heke iho tētahi i mua i ahau.”
8Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere.” 9Ā, ora tonu ake taua tangata, ā, tangohia ake ana e ia tōna moenga, haere ana.
Ko te hāpati anō taua rā. 10Nā, ka mea ngā Hūrai ki taua tangata i whakaorangia rā, “Ko te hāpati tēnei; e kore e tika kia mauria e koe tōu moenga.”
11Ka whakahokia e ia ki a rātou, “Ko te tangata i whakaorangia ai ahau, nāna i mea ki ahau, ‘Tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere.’ ”
12Nā, ka ui rātou ki a ia, “Ko wai tēnā tangata i mea nā ki a koe, ‘Tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere’?”
13Otirā, kīhai taua tangata i whakaorangia rā i mōhio ko wai ia; i paheno atu hoki a Īhu, he tokomaha hoki ngā tāngata i taua wāhi.
14Muri iho i ēnei mea ka kite a Īhu i a ia i roto i te temepara, ka mea ki a ia, “Nā, ka oti nei koe te whakaora. Kāti te hara kei kino rawa iho te mea e pā ki a koe.”
15Haere ana taua tangata, kōrero ana ki ngā Hūrai, nā Īhu ia i whakaora. 16Koia ngā Hūrai i whai ai ki te tūkino i a Īhu, mōna i mea i ēnei mea i te hāpati. 17Nā, ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, “E mahi ana tōku Matua ā taea noatia tēnei rā; e mahi ana anō ahau.”
18Koia ngā Hūrai i tino whai rawa ai kia patua ia, ehara hoki i te mea ko tāna takahi anake i te hāpati, engari, mōna i mea ko te Atua tōna Matua ake, i mea he rite ia ki te Atua te nui.
Te Mana o te Tama
19Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore e taea e te Tama te mea tētahi mea e ia anake, engari ngā mea e kite ai ia e meatia ana e te Matua; ko tāna hoki e mea ai, e meatia ana hoki e te Tama. 20E aroha ana hoki te Matua ki te Tama, e whakakitea ana hoki ki a ia ngā mea katoa e mea ai ia; he nui atu i ēnei ngā mahi e whakakitea e ia ki a ia, kia mīharo ai koutou. 21Ko tā te Matua hoki, he whakaara, he whakaora i ngā tūpāpaku; ka pērā anō te Tama, ka whakaora i āna e pai ai. 22E kore hoki te Matua e whakawā i tētahi, engari, kua tukua e ia ngā whakawā katoa ki te Tama; 23kia rite ai te whakahōnore a ngā tāngata katoa i te Tama ki tā rātou whakahōnore i te Matua. Ki te kāhore tētahi e whakahōnore i te Tama, e whakakāhore ana ia i te hōnore mō te Matua nāna nei ia i tono mai.
24“He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki tāku kōrero, e whakapono ana hoki ki tōku kaitono mai, he ora tonu tōna; e kore anō ia e riro ki te whakawā, engari, kua whiti i te mate ki te ora. 25He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, meāke puta te wā, ā, tēnei anō ināianei, e rongo ai ngā tūpāpaku i te reo o tā te Atua Tama; ā, ko te hunga e rongo ana ka ora. 26Tā te mea he ora tō te Matua kei roto i a ia; waihoki kua hōmai e ia ki te Tama, kia whai ora i roto i a ia; 27ā, kua hōmai anō ki a ia he tikanga mō te whakawā, nō te mea ko ia te Tama a te tangata.
28“Kaua e mīharo ki tēnei; nō te mea meāke puta te wā, e rongo ai i tōna reo ngā tāngata katoa i roto i ngā urupā, 29ā, ka puta; ko ngā kaimahi i te pai ki te aranga o te ora; ko ngā kaimahi i te kino ki te aranga o te whakawā.”
Ngā Kaiwhakaatu mō Īhu
30“E kore e āhei i ahau te mea tētahi mea e ahau anake; rite tonu tāku whakawā ki tāku e rongo ai. He tika hoki tāku whakawā; kāhore hoki ahau e rapu i tāku i pai ai, engari, i tā tōku kaitono i pai ai.”
31“Mehemea ko ahau hei whakaatu i āku aha, i āku aha, ehara tāku i te whakaatu pono. 32Tērā atu anō tētahi kaiwhakaatu mōku; e mōhio ana anō ahau he whakaatu pono tāna e whakaatu nei mōku. 33I tono tāngata koutou ki a Hoani, ā, i whakaaturia e ia te pono. 34Kāhore ahau e manako ki tā te tangata whakaatu; engari, e kōrerotia ana e ahau ēnei mea kia ora ai koutou. 35He rama kā tērā, he rama mārama tonu; he wā anō i pai ai koutou kia hari ki tōna mārama.
36“Otiia, he kaiwhakaatu anō tōku, nui atu i a Hoani. Ko ngā mahi hoki i hōmai e te Matua kia whakaotia e ahau, ko aua mahi e mahia nei e ahau, hei whakaatu mōku, i tonoa mai ahau e te Matua. 37Nā, ko te Matua nāna nei ahau i tono mai, kua oti ahau te whakaatu e ia. Kāhore anō koutou i rongo noa i tōna reo, kāhore anō i kite i tōna āhua. 38Kāhore anō hoki i mau tāna kupu i roto i a koutou; inā kāhore anō koutou i whakapono ki tēnei i tonoa mai nei e ia. 39Whakatakina ai e koutou ngā tikanga o ngā karaipiture; e mea ana hoki koutou kei reira te ora tonu mō koutou; ko ēnei hei kaiwhakaatu mōku. 40Heoi, kāhore koutou e pai kia haere mai ki ahau, kia whiwhi ai ki te ora.
41“He korōria tāngata, kāhore ahau e manako atu. 42Nā, kua mātau ahau ki a koutou, kāhore te aroha o te Atua i roto i a koutou. 43Kua tae mai nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o tōku Matua, ā, kāhore koutou e manako mai ki ahau; ki te haere mai tētahi i runga i tōna ake ingoa, ka manako koutou ki a ia. 44Me pēhea koutou ka whakapono ai, ka riro nei i a koutou te korōria e puta ana i a koutou anō, ā, kāhore e rapu i te korōria e puta ana i te Atua kotahi?
45“Kei mea koutou e kōrerotia tō koutou hē e ahau ki te Matua; tērā te kaikōrero mō tō koutou hē, ko Mohi, ko tā koutou e tūmanako nei. 46Me i whakapono hoki koutou ki a Mohi, kua whakapono anō ki ahau; ko tāna hoki i tuhituhi ai he mea mōku. 47Otirā, ki te kāhore koutou e whakapono ki āna i tuhituhi ai, me pēhea ka whakapono ai ki āku kōrero?”
