NGĀ MAHI 4 - New Testament with modified orthography(MRNT)

Ko Pita rāua ko Hoani i mua i te Rūnanga

1Ā, i a rāua e kōrero ana ki te iwi, ka puta oho­rere mai ki a rāua ngā tohu­nga, te ranga­tira o te teme­para me ngā Haruki

2he nui te pāwera mō tā rāua ako i te iwi, mō te kauwhau hoki i runga i a Īhu i te aranga mai i te hunga mate.

3Nā, ka mau ō rātou ringa ki a rāua, meinga ana kia tiaki­na kia ao rā anō te rā, i te mea hoki kua ahi­ahi.

4Otirā, he toko­maha o te hunga i rongo i te kupu i whaka­pono, ā, ko te toko­maha o ngā tāngata me te mea e rima mano.

5Nā, i te aonga ake ka hui­hui ō rātou ranga­tira, ngā kaumātua, me ngā kara­ipi ki Hiruhārama,

6rātou ko te tino tohu­nga, ko Anaha, ko Kaiapa, ko Hoani, ko Arēhanara, me ngā whanau­nga katoa o te tohu­nga nui.

7Ā, nō ka whaka­tū­ria rāua ki waenga­nui, ka ui rātou, “Tēnā koa te mana, te ingoa rānei, i meatia ai tēnei e kōrua?”

8Kātahi a Pita, kī tonu i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ki a rātou, “E ngā ranga­tira o te iwi, e ngā kaumātua:

9me­he­mea ki te uiuia māua āia­nei mō te mahi pai i mahia ki te tangata hauā, i pēhea­tia taua tangata i ora ai.

10Kia mōhio koutou katoa, me te iwi katoa o Īharaira, nā te ingoa o Īhu Karaiti o Nahareta, i rīpeka­tia nā e koutou, i whaka­ara­hia rā e te Atua i te hunga mate, nāna tēnei i tū ora ai i tō koutou aro­aro.

11Ko ia

‘te kōhatu i whaka­kāhore­tia nā e koutou, e ngā kai­hanga,

ā, kua meinga nei hei ūpoko mō te koko­nga.’

12Kāhore hoki he ora i tētahi atu; kāhore hoki he ingoa kē atu i raro o te rangi kua hōmai ki ngā tāngata, e ora ai tātou.”

13Nā, ka kite rātou i te māia o Pita rāua ko Hoani, ā, ka mātau ki a rāua ehara i te mea whaka­ako, engari, he hunga kūware, ka mīharo rātou; ka mōhio hoki he hoa rāua nō Īhu.

14Ka kite hoki i te tangata i whaka­ora­ngia e tū tahi ana rātou, kāhore rawa i taea tētahi kupu whaka­hē mā rātou.

15Nā, ka tono rātou i a rāua kia haere ki waho o te rū­nanga, ā, ka kōrero­rero ki a rātou anō,

16ka mea, “Me aha e tātou ēnei tāngata? Ka kite katoa nei hoki te hunga e noho ana i Hiruhārama, he mere­kara nui kua meinga nei, ā, e kore e āhei te whākore­kore e tātou.

17Otiia, kia kaua ai e hōrapa atu ki roto ki te iwi, kia kaha tā tātou whaka­wehi i a rāua kei kōrero ki tētahi tangata ā muri nei i runga i tēnei ingoa.”

18Ā, karanga­tia ana rāua e rātou, ka mea ki a rāua “Kia kaua rawa e kōrero, kia kaua e whaka­ako, i runga i te ingoa o Īhu.”

19Nā, ka whaka­hoki a Pita rāua ko Hoani ki a rātou, ka mea, “Whaka­aroa e koutou, ka tika rānei ki te aro­aro o te Atua ko koutou kia whaka­rangona, kaua te Atua?

20E kore hoki e āhei kia kaua e kōrero­tia e māua ngā mea i kite ai, i rongo ai mātou.”

21Heoi, whaka­wehi ana anō rātou i a rāua, ā, tukua ana kia haere, kīhai hoki i kitea he mea e whiua ai rāua, i wehi i te iwi; i whaka­korōria katoa nei ngā tāngata i te Atua mō taua mea i meatia.

22Nō te mea kua neke atu i te whā tekau ngā tau o te tangata i meinga nei ki a ia tēnei mere­kara whaka­ora.

Ka Īnoi te Hunga Whakapono kia Māia

23Ā, ka oti rāua te tuku, ka haere ki ō rāua hoa, ā, kōrero­tia ana ngā mea katoa i kōrero ai ngā tohu­nga nui me ngā kaumātua ki a rāua.

24Ā, i tō rātou rongo­nga, ka karanga ake rātou ki te Atua, he kotahi te reo, ka mea: “E te Ariki, nāu nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana, me ō reira mea katoa;

25nāu te kupu i kōrero­tia e te Wairua Tapu, nā te māngai o tō mātou matua, o tāu pono­nga, o Rāwiri:

‘He aha ka nana ai ngā tauiwi,

ka whaka­aro hori­hori ai ngā iwi?

26I whaka­tika ake ngā kīngi o te whenua,

i hui­hui ngā­tahi ngā ranga­tira,

ki te whawhai ki te Ariki rāua ko tāna Karaiti.’

27He pono nei hoki te hui­hui­nga ki tēnei pā o Herora, o Ponotio Pirato, o ngā tauiwi, rātou ko te iwi o Īharaira, ki tāu tama tapu, ki a Īhu i whaka­wahia nei e koe,

28ki te mea i tā tōu ringa, i tā tōu whaka­aro i whaka­takoto ai i mua kia meatia.

29Nā, ti­tiro iho, e te Ariki, āia­nei ki ā rātou kupu whaka­wehi. Tukua mai hoki ki au pono­nga kia tino māia te kōrero i tāu kupu.

30Ko koe ia e totoro mai ana tōu ringa ki te whaka­ora; kia meatia hoki he tohu, he mea whaka­mīharo i runga i te ingoa o tāu Pono­nga tapu, o Īhu.”

31I te mutu­nga o tā rātou īnoi, ka ngā­ueue te wāhi i mine ai rātou, ā, kī katoa rātou i te Wairua Tapu, nā, māia noa atu rātou ki te kōrero i te kupu a te Atua.

Ka Tuwhaia te Hunga Whakapono i ā Rātou Taonga

32Kotahi anō ngākau, kotahi anō wairua o te mano o te hunga whaka­pono. Kīhai anō tētahi o rātou i mea, māna ake tētahi o āna taonga; heoi he mea hui­hui ā rātou mea katoa.

33Ā, nui atu te kaha i whaka­pua­kina ai e ngā āpō­toro te aranga o te Ariki, o Īhu; he nui anō te aroha noa i runga i a rātou katoa.

34Kāhore hoki tētahi o rātou i hapa; ko te hunga hoki he kāinga, he whare ō rātou, hokona atu ana e rātou, ā, mauria ana mai ngā utu o ngā mea i hokona,

35whaka­takoto­ria ana ki ngā wae­wae o ngā āpō­toro. Nā, ka tu­whai­na mā ia tangata, mā ia tangata, he mea whaka­rite ki te mate o ia tangata.

36Ā, ko Hohi i huaina e ngā āpō­toro ko Pānapa, (ko te tikanga tēnei ina whaka­māori­tia, ko te Tama a te Whaka­mārie­tanga,) he Rīwaiti, ko Kai­peru tōna kāinga.

37He wāhi whenua tōna, nā, hokona atu ana, mauria ana ngā moni, whaka­takoto­ria ana ki ngā wae­wae o ngā āpō­toro.
