1 KORINITI 2 - New Testament with modified orthography(MRNT)

Te Kōrero mō Karaiti i Rīpekatia

1Ko ahau, e ōku tēina, i ahau i haere atu ai ki a koutou, kīhai ahau i haere atu me te pai kupu, me te hua rānei o te whaka­aro, i ahau i kauwhau ai ki a koutou i te mea ngaro a te Atua.

2I takoto hoki tōku whaka­aro, kia kaua ahau e mātau ki tētahi mea i roto i a koutou, ko Īhu Karaiti anake, ko ia hoki i rīpeka­tia.

3Ā, i a koutou ahau me te ngoi­kore, me te wehi, me te tūiri nui.

4Ko tāku kōrero me tāku kauwhau ehara i te kupu whaka­pati nā tō te tangata whaka­aro nui, engari, he whaka­kite­nga nā te Wairua, nā te kaha,

5kia kore ai tō koutou whaka­pono e tū i runga i o te tangata whaka­aro nui, engari, i tō te Atua kaha.

Te Mātauranga o te Atua

6He ahakoa rā e kōrero ana mātou i te whaka­aro nui ki waenga­nui i te hunga tino tika. Ehara anō ia i te whaka­aro mōhio nō tēnei ao, nō ngā ranga­tira rānei o tēnei ao, e memeha haere nei.

7Engari, e kōrero ana mātou i te whaka­aro nui o te Atua i roto i te mea ngaro, i te whaka­aro mōhio i huna rā, ko tā te Atua i whaka­takoto ai i mua o ngā ao, hei whaka­korōria mō tātou.

8Kīhai nei tētahi o ngā ranga­tira o tēnei ao i mātau; me i mātau hoki rātou, kua kāhore e rīpeka­tia e rātou te Ariki o te korōria.

9Engari, ka rite ki te mea i tuhi­tuhia rā:

“Ko ngā mea kāhore te kanohi i kite,

kāhore te tari­nga i rongo,

kāhore anō i tapoko noa ki te ngākau o te tangata,

ko ngā mea kua rite i te Atua mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.”

10Otiia, kua whaka­kitea mai aua mea ki a tātou e te Atua mā tōna Wairua. E rapu ana hoki te Wairua i ngā mea katoa, āe, i ngā mea hōhonu a te Atua.

11Ko wai oti o ngā tāngata e mātau ana ki ngā mea a te tangata? Ko te wairua anake o te tangata i roto i a ia? Wai­hoki ko ngā mea a te Atua e kore e mātau­ria e tētahi, engari e te Wairua o te Atua.

12Otiia, ko te wairua i riro mai nei i a tātou, ehara i te wairua o te ao, engari, ko te Wairua e ahu mai nei i te Atua; kia mātau ai tātou ki ngā mea kua oti nei te hōmai e te Atua ki a tātou.

13Nā, ka kōrero mātou i aua mea, ehara ngā kupu i te whaka­aro mōhio o te tangata i whaka­ako mai, engari, he mea whaka­ako nā te Wairua Tapu; e whaka­rite­rite ana i ngā mea wairua ki ngā mea wairua.

14Nā, e kore te tangata i te ngākau māori e tango i ngā mea o te Wairua o te Atua. Ki a ia he mea kūware ērā, ā, e kore ia e āhei te mātau, he mea mā te Wairua ka kitea ai.

15Otiia, ki te mea kei tētahi te Wairua, ka kitea e ia ngā mea katoa, e kore anō ia e kitea e tētahi.

16“Ko wai hoki te mātau ana ki te hine­ngaro o te Ariki,

e whaka­ako ai ia i a ia?”

Kei a tātou ia te hine­ngaro o te Karaiti.
