Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō te Wāwāhinga o te Temepara

(Matiu 24.1-2; Ruka 21.5-6)

1Ā, i a ia e haere atu ana i te temepara, ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga ki a ia, “E te Kaiwhakaako, nanā, te tū o ngā kōhatu, te tū o ngā whare!”

2Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “Ka kite koe i ēnei whare nunui? E kore tētahi kōhatu e waiho i konei i runga ake i tētahi kōhatu, engari, ka whakahoroa.”

Ngā Raruraru me ngā Whakatoinga

(Matiu 24.3-14; Ruka 21.7-19)

3Ā, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Ōriwa i te ritenga atu o te temepara, ka ui puku ki a ia a Pita, a Hēmi, a Hoani, a Anaru, 4“Kōrerotia mai ki a mātou, ko āhea ēnei mea, ā, he aha te tohu ina tata ēnei mea katoa te rite?”

5Nā, ka anga ia, ka kōrero ki a rātou, “Kia tūpato kei māmingatia koutou e te tangata. 6He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i tōku ingoa, e mea, ‘Ko ahau ia!’ ā, he tokomaha e māmingatia. 7E rongo koutou ki ngā pakanga, ki ngā hau pakanga, kei ohorere. Kua takoto hoki he putanga mō aua mea; taihoa rawa ia te mutunga. 8Ka whakatika hoki tētahi iwi ki tētahi iwi, tētahi rangatiratanga ki tētahi rangatiratanga; ā, he tini ngā wāhi e puta ai he rū; ka puta anō hoki he pō matekai. Ko te tīmatanga ēnei o ngā mamae.

9“Nā, kia tūpato ki a koutou. Ka tukua hoki koutou ki ngā rūnanga; ka whiua koutou i roto i ngā whare karakia; ā, ka whakatūria koutou ki te aroaro o ngā kāwana, o ngā kīngi, mō te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a rātou. 10Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia mātua kauwhautia te rongopai ki ngā tauiwi katoa. 11Ina, ārahina koutou ki te whakawā, ā, ka tukua atu, kaua e mānukanuka wawe ki tā koutou e kōrero ai: engari, ko te mea e hoatu ki a koutou i taua hāora, ko tēnā tā koutou e kōrero ai: ehara hoki i te mea mā koutou ngā kōrero, engari, mā te Wairua Tapu. 12Nā, ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tamaiti hoki e te pāpā; ā, ka whakatika ngā tamariki ki ngā mātua, ka mea kia whakamatea. 13Ā, ka kinongia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa, he mea mō tōku ingoa. Ko te tangata ia e ū ana ā taea noatia te mutunga, ko ia e ora.”

Te Mea Whakarihariha

(Matiu 24.15-28; Ruka 21.20-24)

14“Ā, ki te kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro e tū ana i te wāhi e kore e tika, kia mātau te kaititiro pukapuka, ko reira me rere te hunga i Hūria ki ngā maunga. 15Ko te tangata hoki i runga i te whare kaua e heke iho ki roto ki te whare, kaua hoki e tomo ki te tiki i tētahi mea i roto i tōna whare. 16Kaua anō te tangata i te māra e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tōna kākahu. 17Auē te mate mō te hunga e hapū ana, mō ngā mea hoki e whāngai ana ki te ū, i aua rā 18Mā koutou ia e īnoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hōtoke. 19He whakapāwera hoki aua rā, kāhore ōna rite o te orokohanganga rā anō i hangā nei e te Atua, ā, mohoa noa nei, kāhore hoki he pērā ā muri ake nei. 20Me i kāhore hoki aua rā i poroa i waenga e te Ariki, e kore tētahi kikokiko e ora. Otirā, ka whakaaroa te hunga whiriwhiri i whiriwhiria e ia, ā, poroa ana aua rā i waenga.

21“Ki te mea tētahi ki a koutou i reira, ‘Nā, tēnei a te Karaiti.’ Nā, ‘Tērā!’ kaua e whakaponohia. 22E whakatika hoki ngā Karaiti teka, me ngā poropiti teka, ka whakaatu i ngā tohu me ngā mea whakamīharo, ā, me i taea, ka māmingatia e rātou te hunga whiriwhiri. 23Kia tūpato rā koutou. Nā, kua kōrerotia wawetia nei e ahau ngā mea katoa ki a koutou.”

Te Haerenga Mai o te Tama a te Tangata

(Matiu 24.29-31; Ruka 21.25-28)

24“Nā, i aua rā, i muri iho i taua whakapāwera,

ka whakapōuritia te rā, e kore hoki e titi te atarau,

25ka taka iho ngā whetū o te rangi,

ka ngāueue ngā mea kaha o ngā rangi.

26“Nā, ko reira kitea ai te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i ngā kapua, me te kaha nui, me te korōria. 27Ko reira anō ia tono ai i āna anahera, ā, ka huihuia ana i whiriwhiri ai i ngā hau e whā, i te pito o te whenua tae noa ki te pito o te rangi.”

Te Whakaakoranga mō te Rākau Piki

(Matiu 24.32-35; Ruka 21.29-33)

28“Nā, kia ākona koutou e te piki ki tētahi kupu whakarite. I tōna manga e ngāwari ana, e puta ana hoki ngā rau, ka mōhio koutou ka tata te raumati. 29Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i ēnei mea e puta mai ana, ka mātau ka tata ia, kei ngā kūwaha. 30He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tēnei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta rā anō ēnei mea katoa. 31Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko āku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.”

Kāhore e Mōhiotia ana hei tēhea Rā, hei tēhea Hāora

(Matiu 24.36-44)

32“Otiia, kāhore tētahi tangata e mātau ki taua rā, ki taua hāora, kāhore ngā anahera o te rangi, kāhore te Tama, ko te Matua anake. 33Kia tūpato, kia mataara, me te īnoi anō. Kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā, ko āhea rānei. 34Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, mahue iho i a ia tōna whare, ā, tukua iho e ia ngā tikanga ki āna pononga, tāna mahi mā tētahi, mā tētahi, ka whakahau iho hoki ki te kaitiaki tatau kia mataara.

35“Āe rā, kia mataara: kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā e haere mai ai te rangatira o te whare, ko te ahiahi, ko waenganui pō rānei, ko te tangihanga o te heihei, ko te atatū rānei; 36kei puta whakarere mai, ka rokohanga koutou e ia e moe ana. 37Nā, ko tāku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana anō ki te katoa. ‘Kia mataara!’ ”
