Rīpenetā, e Mate Rānei
1Nā, i reira ētahi i taua wā, nāna i kōrero ki a ia ngā tāngata o Karirī, i whakaranua nei ō rātou toto e Pirato ki ā rātou patunga tapu. 2Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “E mea ana rānei koutou, he hara rawa aua tāngata o Karirī i ngā tāngata katoa o Karirī, nō te mea he pērā ō rātou mate? 3Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore; engari ki te kore koutou e rīpenetā, ka pērā anō hoki koutou katoa te mate. 4Me taua tekau mā waru i horoa nei e te pourewa o Hiroama, ā, mate iho, e mea ana oti koutou, he hara rawa rātou i ngā tāngata katoa e noho ana i Hiruhārama? 5Ko tāku tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore; engari ki te kore koutou e rīpenetā, ka pērā anō koutou katoa te mate.”
Te Kupu Whakarite o te Rākau Piki Huakore
6Ā, i kōrerotia e ia tēnei kupu whakarite, “He piki tā tētahi tangata, he mea whakatō ki tāna māra wāina; nā, ka haere mai ia, ka rapu hua i runga, ā, kīhai i kitea. 7Kātahi ia ka mea ki te kaimahi wāina, ‘Nā, ka toru ēnei ōku tau e haere mai ana ki te rapu hua i runga i tēnei piki, heoi, kāhore i kitea. Tuaina ki raro; hei aha i maumauria ai hoki te whenua?’
8“Nā, ka whakahoki tērā, ka mea ki a ia, ‘E te ariki, waiho anō hoki i tēnei tau, kia keria rā anō e ahau ngā taha kia makā hoki he wairākau. 9Ā, ki te whai hua ā houanga, ka waiho; ki te kāhore, māu e tua ki raro.’ ”
Te Whakaora i te Wahine i te Hāpati
10Ā, i roto ia i tētahi o ngā whare karakia e whakaako ana i te hāpati. 11Nā, ko tētahi wahine, he wairua ngoikore tōna, kotahi tekau mā waru ngā tau, piko tonu, kīhai rawa i āhei te whakatika ake. 12Ā, nō te kitenga o Īhu i a ia, ka karanga atu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, “E kui, ka oti tōu ngoikore te whakamatara.” 13Nā, whakapākia iho e ia ōna ringa ki a ia, ā, kīhai i aha kua tika, whakakorōria ana i te Atua.
14Nā, he riri nōna mō Īhu i whakaora i te hāpati, ka kōrero te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea ki te mano, “E ono ngā rā e tika ai te tangata te mahi. Hei reira koutou haere mai ai kia whakaorangia, kauaka i te hāpati.”
15Nā, ka whakahoki te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, “E ngā tāngata tinihanga, e kore ianei tēnei tangata, tēnei tangata o koutou e wewete i tāna kau i te hāpati, i tāna kāihe rānei, ka ārahi atu ai i te tūranga ki te whakainu? 16Kāhore rānei tēnei wahine, he tamāhine nei nā Āperahama, i herea nei e Hātana i ēnei tau tekau mā waru, e tika kia wetekina i tōna here i te rā hāpati?”
17Ā, nō ka kōrerotia ēnei mea e ia, ka whakamā katoa te hunga e whakahē ana ki a ia, ā, hari katoa te mano ki ngā mea korōria katoa i meinga e ia.
Te Kupu Whakarite o te Pua Nanī
(Matiu 13.31-32; Māka 4.30-32)
18Nā, ka mea ia, “He rite te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? Ā, me whakarite e ahau ki te aha? 19He rite ki te pua nanī, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tāna kāri; ā, ka tupu, ka whakarākau, nō ka noho ngā manu o te rangi ki ōna manga.”
Te Kupu Whakarite o te Rēwena
(Matiu 13.33)
20Ā, i mea anō ia, “Me whakarite e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? 21He rite ki te rēwena i tangohia e tētahi wahine, ā, whaongia ana ki roto ki ngā mēhua parāoa e toru, nō ka rēwenatia katoa.”
Te Kūwaha Kūiti
(Matiu 7.13, 14, 21-23)
22Ā, ka hāereerea e ia ngā pā, ngā kāinga, whakaako ai, me te ahu tonu ki Hiruhārama. 23Nā, ka mea tētahi ki a ia, “E te Ariki, he torutoru koia te hunga e ora?”
Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rātou, 24“Kia kaha te tohe ki te tomo mā te kūwaha kūiti. Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e whai ki te tomo, ā, e kore e taea. 25Kia whakatika kau te tangata i te whare, kia tūtakina te tatau, kātahi koutou ka anga, ka tū i waho, ka pātuki ki te tatau, ka mea, ‘E te Ariki, uakina ki a mātou,’ nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a koutou, ‘Kāhore ahau i mōhio ki a koutou, nō hea rānei.’ 26Ko reira koutou tīmata ai te mea, ‘Kua kai mātou, kua inu i tōu aroaro, i whakaako anō koe i ō mātou huarahi.’ 27Ā, ka kī anō ia, ‘Ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, kāhore ahau i mātau ki a koutou, nō hea rānei. Mawehe atu i ahau, e ngā kaimahi katoa i te kino.’
28“Ko te wā tēnā o te tangi, o te tetēā o ngā niho, ina kite koutou i a Āperahama, i a Īhaka, i a Hākopa, i ngā poropiti katoa, kei te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ā, ko koutou kua makā ki waho. 29Ā, ka haere mai rātou i te rāwhiti, i te hauāuru, i te hauraro, i te tonga, ka noho ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua 30Nā, tērā ētahi ō muri e meinga ki mua, me ētahi ō mua ki muri.”
Te Aroha o Īhu ki Hiruhārama
(Matiu 23.37-39)
31I taua hāora anō ka tae mai ētahi Parihi, ka mea ki a ia, “Haere, whakarērea a konei; e hiahia ana hoki a Herora kia whakamatea koe.”
32Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Haere, mea atu ki taua pokiha, ‘Nā, tēnei ahau te pei rēwera nei, te mahi nei i te mahi whakaora āianei, āpōpō, ā, i te toru o ngā rā ka oti tāku. 33Otiia, me hāereere ahau āianei, āpōpō, ā tahi rā; e kore hoki e āhei kia mate he poropiti i waho o Hiruhārama.’
34“E Hiruhārama, e Hiruhārama, e whakamate nei i ngā poropiti, e āki nei ki te kāmaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe; anō te tini o āku meatanga kia whakaminea āu tamariki, kia pērātia me te heihei e whakamine nei i āna pī ki raro ki ōna parirau, ā, kīhai koutou i pai! 35Nā, ka mahue atu ki a koutou tō koutou whare kia takoto noa ana. He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore koutou e kite i ahau, kia tae mai rā anō te rā e mea ai koutou, ‘Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.’ ”
