1Nā, i muri i ēnei mea ka whakaritea e te Ariki ētahi atu e whitu tekau, ā, tonoa ana rātou takirua, takirua, i mua i a ia ki ngā pā katoa, ki ngā wāhi meāke nei ia haere ki reira.
2I mea anō ia ki a rātou, “He nui te kotinga, ko ngā kaimahi ia he ruarua; nā īnoi atu ki te Ariki nāna te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tāna kotinga.
3Haere! Nana, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau, ānō he reme ki waenganui o ngā wuruhi.
4Kaua e mauria he takotoranga moni, kaua he pūtea, kaua he hū; kaua anō e oha atu ki tētahi i te huarahi.
5Ki te tomo koutou ki tētahi whare, mātua mea atu, ‘Kia tau te rangimārie ki tēnei whare.’
6Ā, ki te mea kei reira te tama a te rangimārie, ka tau tā koutou rangimārie ki a ia; ki te kāhore, e hoki anō ki a koutou.
7Nā, hei taua whare koutou noho ai, kai ai, inu ai i tā rātou e hōmai ai; ka tika hoki te utu mō te kaimahi. Kaua e hāereere i tēnei whare ki tērā whare.
8Ka tomo koutou ki tētahi pā, ā, ka manako rātou ki a koutou, kainga ngā mea e whakatakotoria ana mā koutou.
9Me whakaora te hunga mate o reira, ka mea ki a rātou, ‘Kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.’
10Tēnā, ki te tomo koutou ki tētahi pā, ā, e kore rātou e manako ki a koutou, me haere atu ki ngā huarahi o reira, me kī atu,
11‘Nā, ko te puehu o tō koutou pā e piri nei ki a mātou, tēnei ka tahia atu nei e mātou ki a koutou; otirā, kia mōhio koutou ki tēnei, kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.’
12Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Engari tō Horoma i taua rā e māmā i tō taua pā.”
Ngā Taone Whakapono kore(Matiu 11.20-24)13“Auē, te mate mōu, e Korahina! Auē, te mate mōu, e Petahaira! Me i meatia hoki ki Tāira, ki Hairona ngā merekara kua meatia nei ki a kōrua, kua rīpenetā kē rāua, he taratara hoki te kākahu, me te noho i roto i te pungarehu.
14Otirā, erangi tō Tāira, tō Hairona i te whakawā e māmā i tō kōrua.
15Ā, ko koe, e Kaperenauma, tērā koe e ikeike, ā, tae noa ki te rangi? Ka whakatakā koe ki te rēinga.
16“Ki te whakarongo tētahi ki a koutou, e whakarongo ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakāhore tētahi ki a koutou, e whakakāhore ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakāhore tētahi ki ahau, e whakakāhore ana ki tōku kaitono mai.”
Te Hokinga mai o te Whitu Tekau17Nā, hoki hari ana te whitu tekau, ka mea, “E te Ariki, rongo tonu ngā rēwera nei ki a mātou, he mea nā tōu ingoa!”
18Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “I kite ahau i a Hātana, me te mea he uira te takanga i te rangi.
19Nā, ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou he mana e takahi ai koutou i runga i ngā nākahi, i ngā kopiona, i te kaha katoa anō o te hoa whawhai; ā, e kore rawa koutou e mate i tētahi mea.
20Otirā, kaua e hari ki tēnei, ki ngā wairua ka riro nei ki raro i a koutou; ko tā koutou ia e tino hari ai, ko ō koutou ingoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi!”
Ka Hari a Īhu(Matiu 11.25-27; 13.16-17)21I taua wā anō ka hari ia i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea, “Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Pā, e te Ariki o te rangi, o te whenua, kua hunā nei hoki e koe ēnei mea i te hunga mātau, i te hunga mahara, ā, whakakitea ana ki ngā kōhungahunga; āe rā, e Pā, i pai hoki te pēnei ki tāu titiro.
22“Kua oti ngā mea katoa te tuku ki ahau e tōku Matua; e kore anō tētahi e mātau ki te Tama ko wai ia, ko te Matua anake; ko wai rānei te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata anō hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ia.”
23Nā, ka tahuri ia ki ngā ākonga, ka mea puku atu, “Ka hari ngā kanohi e kite ana i ngā mea e kite nei koutou!
24Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, he tokomaha ngā poropiti me ngā kīngi i hiahia kia kite i ngā mea e kite nei koutou, ā, kāhore i kite; kia rongo anō i ngā mea e rongo nei koutou, ā, kāhore i rongo.”
Te Kupu Whakarite o te Hamari Pai25Nā, ka whakatika tētahi kaiwhakaako o te ture, ka whakamātautau i a ia, ka mea, “E te Kaiwhakaako, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?”
26Ka mea ia ki a ia, “He aha te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture? Ka pēhea tāu kōrero?”
27Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, “‘Kia whakapaua tōu ngākau, tōu wairua, tōu kaha, tōu hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tōu Atua; me aroha hoki ki tōu hoa tata ānō ko koe.’ ”
28Ka mea ia ki a ia, “Ka tika tāu kōrero; meinga tēnei, ā, ka ora koe.”
29Otirā, ka mea ia ki te whakatika i a ia, ka kī atu ki a Īhu, “Ko wai rā tōku hoa tata?”
30Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, “E haere iho ana tētahi tangata i Hiruhārama ki Heriko, ā, ka tūtaki ki ngā kaipāhua, nā, ka huia ōna e rātou, ka tukitukia ia, ā, haere ana, whakarērea iho ia, me te mea kua mate.
31Nā, ko tētahi tohunga e haere noa ana i taua ara, ā, i tōna kitenga i a ia, ninihi kē ana nā tahaki.
32I pēnā hoki tētahi Rīwaiti, tae kau ki taua wāhi, ka haere, ka titiro, ninihi kē ana nā tahaki.
33Otirā, ko tētahi Hamari e haere ana ki ngā whenua, i te taenga ki a ia, ka kite i a ia, ka aroha.
34Nā, ka haere, ka takai i ōna patunga, ringihia iho ki te hinu, ki te wāina, ka whakanoho i a ia ki tōna ake kararehe, ā, kawea ana ia ki te whare tira, atawhaitia ana ia.
35I te aonga ake, i tōna haerenga, ka tangohia e ia e rua ngā pene, hoatu ana ki te tangata i te whare, ka mea ki a ia, ‘Māu ia e tiaki; ā, ki te maha atu āu mea e pau, māku koe e utu ina hoki mai ahau.’
36“Nā, ki tōu whakaaro, ko wai o tēnei tokotoru te hoa ōna i tūtaki nei ki ngā kaipāhua?”
37Ka mea ia, “Ko tērā i atawhaitia ai ia.”
Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Haere, kia pērā anō tāu mahi.”
Ka Toro a Īhu i a Māta rāua ko Meri38Ā, i tō rātou haerenga atu, ka tomo ia ki tētahi kāinga, nā, ko tētahi wahine ko Māta te ingoa, i whakamanuhiri i a ia ki tōna whare.
39He teina anō tōna, ko Meri te ingoa. Nā, ka noho tēnei ki ngā waewae o Īhu, whakarongo ai ki tāna kupu.
40Nā, raruraru noa iho a Māta i te nui o te mahi tuari, ā, haere ana, ka mea, “E te Ariki, he mea noa oti ki a koe kia waiho e tōku teina māku anake te tuari? Nā, kōrero atu kia haere mai ia hei hoa mōku.”
41Ka whakahoki te Ariki, ka mea ki a ia, “E Māta, e Māta, e mānukanuka ana koe, e raruraru ana ki ngā mea maha.
42Kotahi ia te mea e matea ana; ā, kua whiriwhiria e Meri tēnā wāhi pai, e kore nei e tangohia i a ia.”
