ROMA 7 - New Testament with modified orthography(MRNT)

He Tauira mai i te Mārenatanga

1Kāhore anō koutou kia mātau, e ōku tēina, e kōrero ana hoki ahau ki te hunga mātau ki te ture, hei ranga­tira te ture mō te tangata i te wā e ora ai ia?

2Ko te wahine whai tāne hoki, e mau ana anō ia i te ture ki te tāne i a ia e ora ana; ki te mate ia te tāne, kua mawheto ia i te ture a te tāne.

3Nā, ki te riro ia i te tangata kē i tāna tāne e ora ana anō, ka kīa ia he wahine pūremu. Tēnā, ka mate te tāne, e ātea ana ia i te ture, ka kore ia e pūremu ahakoa riro i te tangata kē.

4Heoi, ko koutou anō hoki, e ōku tēina, kua meinga kia tū­pā­paku ki te ture, nā te tinana o te Karaiti; kia riro ai koutou i tētahi atu, arā i tērā i whaka­ara­hia i te hunga mate, kia whai hua ai tātou ki te Atua.

5I a tātou hoki i te kiko­kiko, e mahi ana ngā hi­hiri­tanga o ngā hara, e whaka­oho­kia nei e te ture, i roto i ō tātou wāhi, ā, hua ake ko te mate.

6Ko tēnei kua mawheto mai tātou i te ture, kua mate hoki tātou ki te mea i puri­tia ai tātou; nō reira e mahi ana tātou i runga i te hou­tanga o te wairua, kāhore i runga i te tawhito­tanga o te kupu tuhi­tuhi.

Te Ture me te Hara

7Kia pēhea rā he kupu mā tātou? He hara rānei te ture? Kāhore rāpea! Engari, kīhai ahau i mātau ki te hara, me i kaua te ture; kāhore hoki ahau i mōhio ki te hia­hia apo, me i kaua te ture te mea mai, “Aua koe e hia­hia apo.”

8Nā, ka mau te hara ki tēnei, ā, ka mahi i ngā hia­hia apo katoa i roto i ahau, he mea nā te ture. Ki te kore hoki te ture ka mate te hara.

9I ora hoki ahau i mua i te kore­nga o te ture. Nō te taenga mai ia o te kupu whaka­hau, ka ora ake te hara, ā, mate iho ahau.

10Nā, ko te kupu whaka­hau i meinga rā hei ora, kitea kētia ana tēnei hei mate mōku.

11Ka mau te hara ki tēnei, ka whaka­wai hoki i ahau i runga i te kupu whaka­hau, nāna ahau i mate ai.

12Āe rā, he tapu te ture, me te kupu whaka­hau anō he tapu, he tika, he pai.

13I riro koia te mea pai hei mate mōku? Kāhore rāpea! Engari, nā te hara i mea te mea pai hei mate mōku, kia whaka­kitea ai he hara te hara. Nā, ka ai te kupu whaka­hau hei mea kia tino nui noa atu.

Te Pakanga i roto i a Tātou

14E mātau ana hoki tātou nō te wairua te ture; ko ahau ia nō te kiko­kiko, kua hokona hei pārau mā te hara.

15Ko tāku hoki e mahi nei kāhore e mōhio­tia iho e ahau. Kāhore hoki e mahia e ahau tāku i pai ai; heoi ko tāku i kino ai, meatia ana tēnei e ahau.

16Ki te mahia ia e ahau taua mea kīhai nei ahau i pai atu, e whaka­ae ana ahau ki te ture he pai.

17Ko tēnei ehara i ahau i mahi, engari, nā te hara e noho nei i roto i ahau.

18E mātau ana hoki ahau, kāhore he mea pai e noho ana i roto i ahau, arā i roto i tōku kiko­kiko. Ko te hia­hia hoki kei ahau, ko te mea ia i te pai kāhore i ahau.

19Ko te pai hoki e hia­hia­tia ana e ahau, kāhore e mahia e ahau. Engari te kino kīhai nei ahau i pai, mahia ana tēnei e ahau.

20Ki te mahia ia e ahau taua mea pū kīhai nei ahau i pai atu, ehara i ahau nāna taua mea i mahi, engari, nā te hara e noho nei i roto i ahau.

21Nā, kua kitea e ahau te ture, arā, kei te tata tonu te kino ki ahau e hia­hia nei kia mea i te pai.

22E āhua­reka ana hoki ahau ki te ture a te Atua, arā tō roto tangata.

23Otirā, kua kitea e ahau tētahi atu ture i roto i ōku wāhi, e whawhai ana ki te ture a tōku hine­ngaro, e mea ana i ahau hei tau­reka­reka mā te ture a te hara, mā tēnei i roto nei i ōku wāhi.

24Auē, te mate i ahau! Mā wai ahau e whaka­ora i te tinana o tēnei mate?

25Mā te Atua! E whaka­whetai tonu ana ahau ki a ia i runga i a Īhu Karaiti, i tō tātou Ariki.

Nā, e mahi ana ahau anō nei, arā, tōku hine­ngaro, ki te ture a te Atua, ko tōku kiko­kiko ia ki te ture a te hara.
