Ngā Ringa Hāpai i te Paipera Tapu ki Aotearoa 1952, 2012 © (Bible Society New Zealand inc. 1952, 2012).

Nā, e ono ngā rā i mua ake o te Kapenga ka haere a Īhu ki Petani, kei reira nei a Raharuhi, i whakaarahia ake nei e ia i te hunga mate. Ā, takā ana e rātou he hapa māna i reira; ko Māta te kaitaka, ko Raharuhi tētahi o te hunga i noho tahi me ia. Nā, ka mau a Meri ki tētahi pāuna hinu kakara he tino nara, he mea utu nui, whakawahia ana e ia ngā waewae o Īhu, me te muru anō i ōna waewae ki ōna makawe; kī noa te whare i te kakara o te hinu.
Nā, ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga, a Hūrā Ikariote, tēnei meāke nei tuku a ia, “He aha tēnei hinu tē hokona ai ki ngā pene e toru rau, ka hoatu ai ki te hunga rawakore?” I kōrerotia ai tēnei e ia, ehara i te mea he whakaaro nōna ki te hunga rawakore; erangi, nō te mea he tāhae ia, i a ia hoki te pūtea, ko ia hoki hei mau i ngā mea i whaongia ki roto.
Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu, “Waiho rā ū āna; i tohungia tēnei e ia mō te rā o tōku tanumanga. Kei a koutou hoki ngā rawakore i ngā wā katoa; ko ahau ia e kore e noho tonu i a koutou.”

He tokomaha o ngā Hūrai i mātau kei reira a Īhu; ā, haere mai ana, ehara i te mea mō Īhu anake, erangi, kia kite hoki i a Raharuhi, i whakaarahia nei e ia i te hunga mate. Otirā, kua takoto te whakaaro o ngā tohunga nui kia whakamatea anō a Raharuhi; nāna hoki i tokomaha ai ngā Hūrai i haere, i whakapono ki a Īhu.


I te aonga ake ka rongo te mano tini i haere nei ki te hākari, e haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama. Ka mau rātou ki ngā manga nīkau, haere ana ki te whakatau i a ia, me te karanga,

“Ohana!
Ka whakapaingia ia, e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa
o te Ariki, te Kīngi o Īharaira!”

Ā, nō ka kite a Īhu i tētahi kūao kāihe, ka noho ia i runga; ka pērā anō me te mea i tuhituhia,

“Kaua e mataku, e te tamāhine a Hiona.
Nā, kei te haere mai tōu Kīngi,
e noho ana i runga i te kūao kāihe.”

Otiia, kīhai āna ākonga i mātau wawe ki ēnei mea; engari, ka oti a Īhu te whakakorōria, kātahi rātou ka mahara kua tuhituhia ēnei mea mōna, kua meinga anō ēnei mea ki a ia.
I whakaae anō te hunga i tōna taha i tāna karangatanga i a Raharuhi i roto i te urupā, i tāna whakaarahanga hoki i a ia i te hunga mate. Nā konei hoki te mano i whakatau ai i a ia, i rongo hoki rātou, kua meinga tēnei merekara e ia. Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a rātou anō, “Ka kite rānei koutou kāhore ā koutou wāhi? Nā, kua riro te ao ki te whai i a ia.”

Nā, he Kariki ētahi o te hunga i haere ki te hākari ki te karakia. Ā, haere ana ēnei ki a Piripi o Petahaira o Karirī, kōrero ana ki a ia, mea atu ana, “E kara, e hiahia ana mātou kia kite i a Īhu.” Haere ana a Piripi, ka kōrero ki a Anaru; ka haere a Anaru, a Piripi, ka kōrero ki a Īhu.
Ka kī a Īhu ki a rāua, ka mea, “Kua tae mai te hāora e whakakorōriatia ai te Tama a te tangata. He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kore tētahi pata wīti e marere ki te oneone, e pirau, ka takoto ko ia anake; tēnā ki te pirau, he nui ōna hua. Ki te aroha tētahi ki tōna ora, ka mate anō ia; ki te kino tētahi ki te ora i tēnei ao, ka tūturu ki a ia te ora ake ake. Ki te mea tētahi ko ia hei kaimahi māku, me aru ia i ahau; ko te wāhi e noho ai ahau, ko reira anō tāku kaimahi. Ki te mahi tētahi i āku mahi, mā tōku Matua ia e whakahōnore.”

“Kua pōuri tēnei tōku wairua; ā, kia pēhea atu ahau? E Pā, whakaorangia ahau i tēnei wā. Otirā, ko te mea tēnei i haere mai ai ahau ki tēnei wā. E Pā, whakakorōriatia tōu ingoa.”
Nā, ka puta he reo i te rangi, “Kua whakakorōriatia e ahau, e whakakorōriatia anō.”
I te rongonga o ngā tāngata e tū ana i reira, ka mea, “He whatitiri.” Ko ētahi i mea, “Kua kōrero tētahi anahera ki a ia.”
Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, “Ehara tēnei reo i puta mai nei i te mea mōku, engari mō koutou. Ko āianei te whakawā mō tēnei ao; ko āianei makā ai te rangatira o tēnei ao ki waho. Ā, ki te whakairihia ake ahau ki runga ake i te whenua, māku ngā tāngata katoa e kukume ki ahau.” (I pēnei ai ia hei whakaatu i te mate e mate ai ia.)
Ka whakahokia e te mano ki a ia, “Kua rongo mātou ki tā te ture, e ora tonu ana a te Karaiti. He aha tāu e mea, ‘Me whakairi te Tama a te tangata?’ Ko wai koia tēnei Tama a te tangata?”
Anō rā, ko Īhu ki a rātou, “He wāhi iti nei te maunga o te mārama i roto i a koutou. Haere rā i te mea e whai mārama ana koutou, kei rokohina koutou e te pōuri. Ko ia hoki e haere ana i te pōuri e kore e kite i te wāhi e haere ai ia. I te mea kei a koutou te mārama, me whakapono ki te mārama, kia meinga ai koutou he tamariki nā te mārama.”

I kōrerotia e Īhu ēnei mea, ā, haere ana, huna ana i a ia, kei kitea e rātou. Heoi, ahakoa i meatia e ia aua merekara maha ki tō rātou aroaro, kīhai rātou i whakapono ki a ia. I rite ai te kōrero a Ihāia poropiti, tāna i mea ai:
“E te Ariki, ko wai i whakapono ki tā mātou kōrero?
I whakakitea hoki ki a wai te ringa o te Ariki?”
Koia hoki rātou tē āhei ai te whakapono, kua mea nei hoki a Ihāia,
“I whakamatapōtia e ia ō rātou kanohi,
i whakapakeketia ō rātou ngākau;
kei kite ō rātou kanohi,
kei mātau hoki ō rātou ngākau,
kei tahuri rātou, ā,
ka whakaorangia e ahau.”
I kōrerotia ēnei mea e Ihāia, i te wā i kite ai ia i tōna korōria, i puaki ai hoki tāna kupu mōna. He ahakoa rā he tokomaha anō ngā rangatira i whakapono ki a ia. Otirā, kīhai i whakaae ki a ia, he whakaaro hoki ki ngā Parihi, kei peia rātou ki waho o te whare karakia; rawe ake hoki ki a rātou tā te tangata korōria i tā te Atua.

Nā, ka karanga a Īhu, ka mea, “Ki te whakapono tētahi ki ahau, ehara ahau i tāna i whakapono mai ai, engari, ko tōku kaitono mai. Ko ia e kite ana i ahau, e kite ana hoki i tōku kaitono mai. Kua tae mai nei ahau hei whakamārama mō te ao, kei noho i te pōuri tētahi e whakapono ana ki ahau.
“Nā, ki te rongo tētahi ki āku kupu, ki te kore hoki e puritia e ia, e kore ahau e whakahē i a ia; kīhai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te whakahē i te ao, engari, ki te whakaora i te ao. Ko ia e whakakāhore ana ki ahau e kore hoki e tango ki āku kupu, tēnā anō te kaiwhakahē mōna; ko te kupu i kōrerotia e ahau, ko tēnā hei whakahē mōna ā te rā whakamutunga. Nō te mea ehara i ahau ake āku kōrero; engari, nā te Matua i tonoa mai ai ahau, nāna i tuku mai te ture ki ahau, mō tāku e kōrero ai, mō tāku e kī ai. Ā, e mātau ana ahau he ora tonu tāna ture. Nā, ko āku e kōrero nei rite tonu ki tā te Matua i mea mai ai ki ahau tāku kōrero.”
