Ka Mauria a Īhu i te Aroaro o Pirato

(Matiu 27.1-2, 11-14; Māka 15.1-5; Hoani 18.28-38)

1Kātahi ka whakatika tō rātou huihui katoa, ā, ārahina ana ia ki a Pirato. 2Nā, ka anga rātou, ka whakapā hē ki a ia, ka mea, “Kua mau i a mātou tēnei tangata e kukume kē ana i te iwi, e mea ana kia kaua e hoatu te takoha ki a Hīhā, e kī ana he kīngi ia, ko te Karaiti.”

3Nā, ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, “Ko koe rānei te kīngi o ngā Hūrai?”

Ka whakahoki ia ki a ia, ka mea, “Kua kōrerotia mai nā e koe.”

4Nā, ko te meatanga a Pirato ki ngā tohunga nui, ki ngā mano, “Kāhore tētahi hē o tēnei tangata i mau i ahau.”

5Ā, nui atu tā rātou tohe ka mea, “E whakatūtehu ana ia i te iwi, e whakaako ana puta noa i Hūria, tīmata mai i Karirī, ā tae noa mai ki konei.”

Ka Tonoa a Īhu i te Aroaro o Herora

6I te rongonga ia o Pirato ki Karirī, ka ui, “Nō Karirī rānei tēnei tangata?” 7Ā, i tōna mōhiotanga nō te rangatiratanga ia o Herora, ka tonoa ia ki a Herora, i Hiruhārama hoki ia i aua rā. 8Nā, i te kitenga o Herora i a Īhu, nui rawa tōna hari, kua roa ia e hiahia ana kia kite i a ia, he maha hoki ngā mea i rangona e ia mōna. Nā, ka tūmanako ia kia kite i tētahi merekara e meinga ana e ia. 9Nā, he maha ngā kupu i ui ai ia ki a ia; heoi, kāhore kau he kupu i whakahokia e ia. 10Nā, tū ana ngā tohunga nui me ngā karaipi, kaha rawa hoki tā rātou whakapā hē ki a ia. 11Nā, ka whākorekore a Herora rātou ko āna hōia ki a ia, ka taunu, ā, ka oti ia te whakakākahu ki te kahu whakapaipai, ka whakahokia atu ki a Pirato. 12I taua rangi anō ka houhia te rongo a Pirato rāua ko Herora; i mua hoki e mauāhara ana ki a rāua.

Ka Whakataua a Īhu ki te Mate

(Matiu 27.15-26; Māka 15.6-15; Hoani 18.39–19.16)

13Nā, ka karangatia e Pirato ngā tohunga nui, ngā rangatira, me te iwi anō, 14ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kua kawea mai nei e koutou tēnei tangata ki ahau, me te kī anō kei te kukume kē ia i te iwi; ā, ka oti nei ia te uiui e ahau i tō koutou aroaro, nā, kīhai i mau i ahau tētahi hē o tēnei tangata i roto i ngā mea i whakapāngia nei e koutou ki a ia. 15Ā, kīhai anō hoki a Herora, nāna ia i whakahoki mai ki a tātou, nā, kāhore āna mahi e tika ai kia mate ia. 16Nā, me whiu ia e ahau, ka tuku atu ai.” 17Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia tukua atu tētahi ki a rātou i te hākari.

18Nā, ka pānui rātou ki te karanga, ka mea, “Whakamatea tēnei, ko Parapa te tuku mai ki a mātou.” 19(Ko tēnei hoki i makā ki te whare herehere mō te nananga i nanā ai ia i roto i te pā, mō te patu tangata.)

20Nā, ka mea atu anō a Pirato, he mea hoki nāna kia tukua a Īhu. 21Heoi, hāmama ana rātou, mea ana, “Rīpekatia ia, rīpekatia!”

22Ka mea anō ia ki a rātou, ko te toru o ngā meatanga, “He aha rā te kino i meinga e tēnei tangata? Kāhore anō i mau i ahau tētahi hē ōna e mate ai; māku ia e whiu, ka tuku atu ai.”

23Otirā, nui atu ō rātou reo ki te tohe e tono ana kia rīpekatia ia. Ā, riro rawa i tā ō rātou reo. 24Nā, ka whakaōtia e Pirato kia waiho i tā rātou i tono ai. 25Nā, ka tukua anō ki a rātou te tangata i makā ki te whare herehere mō te nananga, mō te patu tangata, tā rātou hoki i tono ai; ko Īhu ia i tukua ki tā rātou i pai ai.

Ka Rīpekatia a Īhu

(Matiu 27.32-44; Māka 15.21-32; Hoani 19.17-27)

26Ā, i a rātou e ārahi ana i a ia, ka mau rātou ki tētahi tangata o Hairini, ki a Haimona, e haere mai ana i ngā whenua, ā, utaina ana ki a ia te rīpeka, kia amohia i muri i a Īhu.

27Nā, he nui te huihuinga o te iwi i aru i a ia, me ngā wāhine hoki e tangi ana, e auē ana ki a ia. 28Nā, ka tahuri a Īhu ki a rātou, ka mea, “E ngā tamāhine o Hiruhārama, kaua e tangi ki ahau, engari me tangi ki a koutou anō, ki ā koutou tamariki. 29Tērā hoki e puta ngā rā e mea ai rātou, ‘Koa tonu ngā pākoko, me ngā kōpū kāhore i whānau, me ngā ū kāhore i ngotea.’ 30Ko reira tīmata ai rātou te mea ki ngā maunga,

‘Horo iho ki runga ki a mātou,’

ki ngā pukepuke hoki, ‘Hīpokina mātou.’

31Ki te meinga hoki ēnei mea e rātou i te rākau e kaimata ana, ko te aha e meatia i te rākau ka maroke?”

32Nā, tērā atu ētahi tokorua, he hunga mahi kino, e ārahina ngātahitia ana me ia kia whakamatea. 33Ā, ka tae rātou ki te wāhi e kīia nei ko te Angaanga, ka rīpekatia ia ki reira, me aua kaimahi kino, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki mauī. 34Nā, ka mea a Īhu, “E Pā, houhia te rongo ki a rātou; kāhore hoki rātou e mōhio ki tā rātou e mea nei.” Ā, wehewehea ana ōna kākahu e rātou he mea maka ki te rota.

35Me te tū anō te iwi mātakitaki ai. Ko ngā rangatira hoki ka tāwai ki a ia, ka mea, “Ko ērā atu i whakaorangia e ia, māna anō ia e whakaora, ki te mea ia ko te Karaiti a te Atua, ko tāna i whiriwhiri ai!”

36Ko ngā hōia ētahi i taunu ki a ia, ka haere mai me te kawe mai he winika ki a ia, 37ka mea, “Ki te mea ko koe te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai, whakaora i a koe.”

38Ā, tērā te mea i tuhituhia ki runga ake i a ia, “Ko te Kīngi tēnei o ngā Hūrai.”

39Nā, ko tētahi o ngā kaimahi kino i whakairia rā i kohukohu ki a ia, i mea, “Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, whakaorangia koe, māua hoki.”

40Nā, ka whakahoki tētahi, ka riri ki a ia, ka mea, “E kore rānei koe e wehi ki te Atua, kei tēnei mate tahi nei hoki koe? 41Ka tika rāia tō tāua; ka whiwhi hoki tāua ki ngā mea e tika ana mō ā tāua hanga; ko tēnei ia kāhore āna mahi hē.”

42Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a Īhu, “E te Ariki, kia mahara koe ki ahau ina haere mai koe i runga i tōu rangatiratanga.”

43Anō rā ko Īhu ki a ia, “He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koe, ko āianei koe noho ai ki ahau ki Pararaiha.”

Te Matenga o Īhu

(Matiu 27.45-56; Māka 15.33-41; Hoani 19.28-30)

44Nā, kua tata ki te ono o ngā hāora, ā, ka pōuri a runga o te whenua katoa, tae noa ki te iwa o ngā hāora. 45I pōuri hoki te rā, ā, i wāhia te ārai o te whare tapu i waenganui pū. 46Ā, nui atu te reo o Īhu ki te karanga; i mea ia, “E Pā, tēnei tōku wairua ka tukua atu nei ki ōu ringa.” Ka mutu ēnei kupu, ka hemo ia.

47Ā, i te kitenga o te keneturio i taua mea, ka whakakorōria ia i te Atua, ka mea, “He pono he tangata tika tēnei.” 48Me te hunga katoa hoki i huihui mai ki te mātakitaki, i tō rātou kitenga i aua mea i meatia rā, ka pātuki i ō rātou uma, ā, hoki ana. 49Ā, ko te hunga katoa i mōhio ki a ia, rātou ko ngā wāhine i aru mai i a ia i Karirī, i tū mai i tawhiti, mātakitaki ai ki ēnei mea.

Te Tanumanga o Īhu

(Matiu 27.57-61; Māka 15.42-47; Hoani 19.38-42)

50Nā, tērā tētahi tangata, ko Hōhepa te ingoa, he tangata noho rūnanga; he tangata pai, he tangata tika. 51Kīhai ia i whakaae ki tō rātou whakaaro, ki tā rātou mahi, nō Arimatia ia, nō tētahi pā o ngā Hūrai, ā, he tangata ia e tatari ana ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua. 52I haere ia ki a Pirato, ā, tonoa ana e ia te tinana o Īhu. 53Nā, ka tangohia iho e ia taua tinana, ā, takaia ana ki te rīnena, ka waiho ki te rua i hāua ki roto ki te kōhatu, kāhore hoki i takoto noa tētahi tangata ki reira. 54Nā, ko te rā Takanga hākari ia, ā, meāke pūao te hāpati.

55I aru anō ngā wāhine i haere tahi mai nei me ia i Karirī, ā, kite ana i te urupā, i te whakatakotoranga anō o tōna tinana. 56Nā, ka hoki rātou, ka mahi i ngā mea kakara, i ngā hinu. Ā, noho ana i te hāpati, he whakaaro hoki ki te ture.
