ROMA 1 - New Testament with modified orthography(MRNT)

He Mihi

1Nā Paora, nā te pono­nga a Īhu Karaiti, i karanga­tia hei āpō­toro, i motu­hia ki te rongo­pai a te Atua,

2i kōrero­tia rā e ia i mua, arā e āna poro­piti i roto i ngā karaipi­ture tapu,

3mō tāna Tama, i whānau nei he uri nō Rāwiri, nō te wāhi ki te kiko­kiko;

4i whaka­pua­kina mai nei ko te Tama a te Atua i runga i te kaha, i runga i tā te Wairua o te tapu, i te mea ka whaka­ara­hia i te hunga mate; arā a Īhu Karaiti, tō tātou Ariki.

5Nāna nei mātou i whi­whi ai ki te aroha noa, ki te mahi āpō­toro, kia ngohe­ngohe ai, kia whaka­pono ai ngā iwi katoa, hei mea mō tōna ingoa.

6Nō rātou nei hoki koutou, he mea karanga hei hunga mō Īhu Karaiti.

7Ki te hunga katoa i Roma, e aroha­ina nei e te Atua, ka oti nei te karanga hei hunga tapu.

Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangi­mārie, he mea nā te Atua, nā tō tātou Matua, nā te Ariki hoki, nā Īhu Karaiti.

He Karakia Whakawhetai

8Ko tāku mea tua­tahi, he whaka­whetai ki tōku Atua i roto i a Īhu Karaiti mō koutou katoa, nō te mea e kōrero­tia ana tō koutou whaka­pono i te ao katoa.

9Ko te Atua, e mahi nei tōku wairua ki a ia i roto i te rongo­pai o tāna Tama, hei kai­whaka­atu mōku, mō te mau tonu o tāku whaka­hua­hua i a koutou, ā, i āku karakia­tanga i ngā wā katoa,

10e īnoi ana me kore e pai te Atua kia whaka­tikaia tāku haere atu ki a koutou.

11Nui atu hoki tōku hia­hia kia kite i a koutou, kia whaka­whi­whi ai ahau i a koutou ki tētahi mea hōmai, he mea wairua, kia whaka­ūngia ai koutou;

12arā, kia ora ngā­tahi ō tātou ngākau, tōku i tō koutou whaka­pono, ō koutou i tōku.

13Nā, e kore ahau e pai, e ōku tēina kia ngaro i a koutou te maha o āku mea­tanga kia haere atu ki a koutou, heoi, āraia mai ana ahau, ā, mohoa noa nei, kia whi­whi ai ahau ki tētahi hua i roto i a koutou hoki, kia pērā me te mea i ērā atu tauiwi.

14He nama kei runga i ahau nā ngā Kariki, ā, nā ngā tau­tangata, nā te hunga mōhio, ā, nā te hunga whaka­aro­kore.

15Nā reira, e ngākau nui ana ahau kia whaka­paua tāku ki te kauwhau hoki i te rongo­pai ki a koutou i Roma.

Te Kaha o te Rongopai

16Kāhore hoki ōku whaka­mā ki te rongo­pai; ko te kaha hoki ia o te Atua hei whaka­ora mō ngā tāngata katoa e whaka­pono ana; mō te Hūrai ki mua, mō te Kariki anō hoki.

17Ā, kei reira e whaka­kitea ana tā te Atua tika, he mea nō te whaka­pono ki te whaka­pono; kua oti nei hoki te tuhi­tuhi, “Mā te whaka­pono e ora ai te tangata tika.”

Te Hara Tangata

18E whaka­kitea iho ana hoki i te rangi tō te Atua riri ki ngā karakia­kore­tanga katoa, ki ngā hē o ngā tāngata e pēhi ana i te pono i runga i te hē.

19Kei roto nei i a rātou e mārama ana ngā mea o te Atua e taea te mōhio; kua whaka­mārama­tia hoki e te Atua ki a rātou.

20E kitea nuitia ana hoki ngā mea ōna, kāhore nei i kitea, nō te hanga­nga iho rā o te ao, e mōhio­tia ana ki ngā mea i hangā, arā tōna kaha mau tonu, me tōna atua­tanga; kia kore ai he kupu whaka­hoki mā rātou.

21I a rātou hoki e mātau ana ki te Atua, kīhai rātou i whaka­korōria i a ia hei Atua, kīhai hoki i whaka­whetai; heoi, kua kūware ō rātou whaka­aro, ā, whaka­pōuri­tia ana tō rātou ngākau pōhēhē.

22I a rātou e mea ana he mōhio rātou, nā, ka wai­rangi,

23ā, whaka­putaia kētia ake te korōria o te Atua e kore nei e pirau, kia rite ki te āhua o te tangata pirau noa, o ngā manu hoki, o ngā kararehe wae­wae whā, o ngā mea ngōki­ngōki.

24Koia rātou i tukua ai e te Atua ki te mahi poke, i runga i ngā hia­hia o ō rātou ngākau, kia whaka­tūtūā­tia iho ai ō rātou tinana e rātou anō, tō tētahi e tētahi;

25i te mea kua whaka­whiti rātou i tō te Atua pono mō te teka, ā, kara­kia ana, mahi ana ki te mea hanga, kapea ake te Kai­hanga, ko ia nei te whaka­pai­ngia ake ake. Āmine.

26Koia rātou i tukua ai e te Atua ki ngā hia­hia tūtūā. Ko ā rātou wāhine hoki, mahue ake i a rātou te tikanga māori, kei te ngau kē noa atu.

27Me ngā tāne anō, whaka­rērea ake e rātou te tikanga māori ki te wahine, ānō he ahi te kānga o tō rātou hia­hia ki a rātou anō; ngā tāne ki ngā tāne, mahi ai i te mea whaka­mā, me te whi­whi anō ki te utu e rite ana mō tō rātou ngau­nga kētanga.

28Ā, i a rātou kīhai nei i pai kia mau tonu te Atua ki ō rātou mahara, tukua ana rātou e te Atua ki te hine­ngaro hē kia mahia ngā mea kāhore e tau kia mahia.

29Kī tonu rātou i ngā mahi hē katoa, i te kino, i te apo, i te mauā­hara; whawhao rawa i te hae, i te kōhuru, i te totohe, i te hīanga, i te whanokē; he hunga kō­humu­humu,

30he hunga ngau­tuarā, kino ki te Atua, he hunga whaka­hīhī, whaka­kake, whaka­peha­peha, he kai­tito i ngā mea kino. E turi ana ki ngā mātua,

31kāhore ō rātou mātau­ranga, he hunga kupu taka, kāhore nei he aroha, kāhore e tohu tangata.

32Ahakoa e mātau ana anō rātou ki tā te Atua tikanga, he tika te mate mō ngā kai­mahi i ēnei mea, heoi, ka mahi tonu rātou i aua mea me te whaka­ae hoki ki te hunga e pērā ana te mahi.
