Ka Whakaora a Īhu i te Pononga a te Āpiha Rōma
(Matiu 8.5-13)
1Ā, nō ka mutu ēnei kupu katoa āna, me te whakarongo anō te iwi, ka tomo ia ki Kaperenauma. 2Nā, e mate ana te pononga a tētahi keneturio, meāke marere, ko tāna hoki i matenui ai. 3Ā, nō tōna rongonga i a Īhu, ka tonoa mai ki a ia ētahi kaumātua o ngā Hūrai, hei mea ki a ia kia haere ki te whakaora i tāna pononga. 4Ā, i tō rātou taenga ki a Īhu, he kaha tā rātou īnoi, ka mea, “He pai te tangata e meatia ai tēnei e koe, 5E aroha ana hoki ia ki tō tātou iwi, nāna hoki i hanga te whare karakia mō mātou.” 6Nā, haere tahi ana a Īhu me rātou.
Ā, i a ia kāhore nei i matara i te whare, ka tono te keneturio i ētahi hoa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Ariki, kei maumau ngenge noa koe, ehara hoki ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i tōku tuanui; 7koia tē tae ai tōku aro ki te haere atu ki a koe. Engari kia puaki mai tāu kupu, ā, ka ora tāku pononga. 8He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hōia anō āku hei whakahaunga māku, nā, ka mea ahau ki tēnei, ‘Haere,’ ā, ka haere; ki tētahi atu hoki, ‘Haere mai,’ ā, ka haere mai; ki tāku pononga anō hoki, ‘Meatia tēnei,’ ā, ka meatia e ia.”
9Ā, i te rongonga o Īhu ki ēnei mea, ka mīharo ki a ia, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te mano e aru ana i a ia, “Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore anō ahau i kite i te whakapono hei rite mō tēnei te nui, ahakoa i roto i a Īharaira.” 10Ā, rokohanga atu e te hunga i tonoa, i tō rātou hokinga atu ki te whare, kua ora te pononga rā.
Ka Whakaara a Īhu i te Tama a tētahi Pouaru
11Nā, i muri tata iho ka haere ia ki tētahi pā, ko Naina te ingoa; ā, i haere tahi āna ākonga me ia, he rahi hoki te hui. 12Ā, ka whakatata ia ki te kūwaha o te pā, nā, he tūpāpaku tērā e kauhoatia ana mai, he huatahi nā tōna whaea, ā, he pouaru tērā: he tokomaha o te pā e haere tahi ana me ia. 13Ā, i te kitenga o te Ariki i a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, “Kaua e tangi.”
14Nā, ka whakatata ia, ka pā ki te kauhoa, ā, tū tonu ngā kaikauhoa. Nā, ko tāna meatanga, “E tama, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, e ara.” 15Nā, ka noho te tūpāpaku ki runga, ka anga, ka kōrero, ā, hoatu ana ia e ia ki tōna whaea.
16Nā, ka tau te wehi ki a rātou katoa; ka whakakorōria i te Atua, ka mea, “Kua puta ake i roto i a tātou he poropiti nui!” ā, “Kua titiro mai hoki te Atua ki tāna iwi.” 17Nā, haere ana tēnei kōrero mōna puta noa i Hūria, i ngā wāhi pātata katoa anō hoki.
Ngā Karere a Hoani Kaiiriiri
(Matiu 11.1-19)
18Ā, ka kōrerotia ēnei mea katoa ki a Hoani e āna ākonga. 19Nā, ka karangatia e Hoani ētahi o āna ākonga tokorua, ka tonoa ki te Ariki, mea ai, “Ko koe rānei tērā e haere mai ana? Me tatari rānei tātou ki tētahi atu?”
20Ā, nō te taenga mai o aua tāngata ki a ia, ka mea, “Kua tonoa mai māua e Hoani Kaiiriiri ki a koe, mea ai, Ko koe rānei tērā e haere mai ana? Me tatari rānei tātou ki tētahi atu?”
21I taua wā pū anō he tokomaha te hunga i whakaorangia e ia i ngā tūrorotanga, i ngā mate, i ngā wairua kino; he tokomaha ngā matapō i meinga kia kite. 22Ā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rāua, “Haere, kōrerotia ki a Hoani ngā mea e kite nei, e rongo nei kōrua; ko ngā matapō e titiro ana, ko ngā kopa e hāereere ana, ko ngā repera kua mā, ko ngā turi e rongo ana, ko ngā tūpāpaku e whakaarahia ana, e kauwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore; 23nā, ka koa te tangata e kore e hē ki ahau.”
24Ā, nō te rironga atu o ngā karere a Hoani, ka tīmata ia ki te kōrero ki te mano mō Hoani: “I haere atu koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kākaho e whakangāueuetia ana e te hau? 25Anō rā, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kākahu māeneene ōna? Nā, kei ngā whare kīngi te hunga i ngā kākahu whakapaipai, i ngā kai papai. 26Anō rā, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Āe rā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, tērā atu i te poropiti. 27Mōna te mea kua tuhituhia nei,
‘Nā, ka tonoa e ahau tāku karere ki mua i tōu aroaro,
māna e whakapai tōu huarahi i mua i a koe.’
28Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore he poropiti nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri i roto i ngā whānau a te wahine; heoi, rahi ake i a ia te nohinohi rawa o te rangatiratanga o te Atua.”
29Nā, i tō rātou rongonga ai, whakatikaia ana tā te Atua e te hunga katoa i rongo, e ngā pupirikana anō, i iriiria hoki rātou ki te iriiri a Hoani. 30Ko ngā Parihi ia rātou ko ngā kaiwhakaako o te ture i whakakāhore i tā te Atua whakaaro ki a rātou, kīhai nei rātou i iriiria e ia.
31“Me whakarite e ahau ngā tāngata o tēnei whakapaparanga ki te aha? He rite rātou ki te aha? 32He rite ki ngā tamariki e noho ana i te kāinga hokohoko, e karanga ana ki a rātou anō, e mea ana:
‘Whakatangi noa mātou i te pūtōrino ki a koutou,
ā, kāhore koutou i kanikani.
Auē noa mātou ki a koutou,
nā, kāhore koutou i tangi.’
33I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kīhai i kai taro, kīhai i inu wāina; heoi ka mea koutou, ‘He rēwera tōna.’ 34I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai, me te inu; ā, ka mea koutou, ‘Nā, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu wāina, he hoa nō ngā pupirikana, nō ngā tāngata hara!’ 35Otirā, e whakatikaia ana te whakaaro nui e āna tamariki katoa.”
Ko Īhu i te Kāinga a Haimona te Parihi
36Nā, ka mea tētahi o ngā Parihi ki a ia kia kai tahi rāua. Ā, ka tomo ia ki te whare o te Parihi, ka noho. 37Nā, tērā tētahi wahine hara o te pā ka mōhio, kei te whare o te Parihi ia e noho ana; nā, ka kawea mai e ia tētahi pouaka kōhatu, he hinu i roto. 38Ā, tū tangi ana i muri i ōna waewae, ka anga ka whakamākūkū i ōna waewae ki ōna roimata, ka muru ki ngā makawe o tōna mātenga, ka kihi i ōna waewae, ka whakawahi ki te hinu kakara.
39Nā, i te kitenga o te Parihi nāna rā ia i karanga, ka kōrero i roto i a ia, ka mea, “Me he poropiti tēnei, kua mātau ia ki te wahine e pā nei ki a ia, tōna pēheatanga; he wahine hara hoki.”
40Nā, ka kōrero a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “E Haimona, he kupu tāku ki a koe.”
Ka mea ia, “Kōrero, e te Kaiwhakaako.”
41“Nā, tokorua ngā tāngata i a rāua te moni a tētahi kaituku moni; e rima rau ngā pene i tētahi, e rima tekau i tētahi. 42I te kore ngā mea a rāua hei whakautu, whakarērea noatia ana e ia ki a rāua; tēnā, ko wai o rāua e tino nui tōna aroha ki a ia?”
43Nā, ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, “Ki tōku whakaaro, ko te tangata nāna te mea nui i whakarērea noatia atu.”
Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a ia, “Tika rawa tāu.”
44Nā, ka tahuri ia ki te wahine, ka mea ki a Haimona, “E kite ana koe i tēnei wahine? I haere mai ahau ki roto ki tōu whare, kāhore i hōmai e koe he wai mō ōku waewae; nāna ia i whakamākūkū ōku waewae ki ōna roimata, ā, murua iho ki ngā makawe o tōna mātenga. 45Kīhai koe i kihi i ahau; tēnā ko ia, mai o tōku taenga mai, kāhore anō i tāmutu te kihi i ōku waewae. 46Kīhai koe i whakawahi i tōku mātenga ki te hinu; nāna ia ōku waewae i whakawahi ki te hinu. 47Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, kua murua ōna tini hara; he nui hoki tōna aroha; ko te tangata ia he iti ngā mea i murua ka iti anō tōna aroha.”
48Ā, ka mea ia ki a ia, “Kua murua ōu hara.”
49Nā, ka anga ōna hoa noho ka kōrero ki a rātou anō, “Ko wai tēnei, muru rawa hoki i ngā hara?”
50Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki te wahine, “Nā tōu whakapono koe i ora ai; haere mārie.”
