HĒMI 1 - New Testament with modified orthography(MRNT)

He Mihi

1Nā Hēmi, nā te pono­nga a te Atua, a te Ariki hoki, a Īhu Karaiti, ki ngā hapū kotahi tekau mā rua e noho marara ana: Tēnā koutou.

Te Whakapono me te Mātauranga

2Kīa iho, e ōku tēina, he mea hari nui ina taka koutou ki ngā whaka­mā­tautau­ranga maha;

3e mātau ana hoki koutou, ko te whaka­mā­tautau­ranga o tō koutou whaka­pono hei mahi i te manawa­nui.

4Nā, kia puta rawa te mahi a te manawa­nui, kia tino tika ai koutou, kia toitū ai, tē hapa i tētahi mea.

5Ki te hapa tētahi o koutou i te mātau­ranga, me īnoi ia ki te Atua, e hōmai nui nei ki te katoa, kāhore hoki āna tāwai mai; ā, ka hōmai ki a ia.

6Otirā, me īnoi whaka­pono ia, kaua e rua­rua. Ko te tangata rua­rua hoki, tōna rite kei te ngaru o te moana, e pūhia ana e te hau, e ākina ana.

7Kaua hoki taua tangata e mea, e whi­whi ia ki tētahi mea i te Ariki.

8E kore te tangata ngākau rua e ū i āna hanga katoa.

Te Rawakore me te Whai Taonga

9Ko te teina iti, kia whaka­mana­mana ia i te mea ka whaka­neke­hia ake ia,

10me te tangata taonga anō, i te mea ka whaka­iti­tia. Ka memeha atu hoki ia, ānō he puāwai taru­taru.

11Ko te pu­tanga mai hoki o te rā me te hau wera anō, nā, kua maroke te taru­taru, kua nga­horo tōna puāwai, ā, ngaro iho te ātanga o tōna āhua. Ka pērā anō te tangata taonga, ka memeha atu i ōna hāere­ere­nga.

Whakamātautau me Whakawai

12Ka hari te tangata e ū ake ana ki te whaka­mā­tautau­ranga. Nō te mea hoki ka oti ia te whaka­mā­tau­tau, ka whi­whi ia ki te karauna o te ora, kua whaka­aria mai nei e te Ariki mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia.

13Kaua tētahi e mea ina whaka­mā­tau­tau­ria, “E whaka­mā­tau­tau­ria ana ahau e te Atua.” E kore hoki te Atua e taea te whaka­mā­tau­tau e te kino, e kore anō hoki ia e whaka­mā­tau­tau i tētahi.

14Engari he mea whaka­mā­tau­tau te tangata, i a ia e kūmea ana, e poaina ana e tōna hia­hia ake anō.

15Nā, i te hapū­tanga o te hia­hia, ka whānau ko te hara; ā, i te otinga o te hara, ka whānau ko te mate.

16Kei whaka­pōhēhē­tia koutou, e ōku tēina aroha.

17Nō runga ngā hōmai­tanga papai katoa, ngā mea katoa e tino tika ana, he mea heke iho nō te Matua o ngā whaka­mārama, kāhore nei ōna pu­tanga kētanga, kāhore hoki he ātā­rangi o te tahuri.

18Nā tōna hia­hia ake anō tātou whānau ai, he mea­tanga nā te kupu o te pono, kia meinga ai tātou me he mātā­mua mō āna mea i hanga ai.

Whakarongo ka Mahi ai

19Kei te mōhio koutou ki tēnei, e ōku hoa aroha, kia hohoro ngā tāngata katoa ki te whaka­rongo, kia pūhoi ki te kōrero, kia pūhoi ki te riri.

20E kore hoki tā te Atua tika e mahia e tō te tangata riri.

21Heoi, me whaka­rere katoa atu ngā tikanga poke, me te hara e hua tonu nei, me tahuri mārire ki te kupu kua oti te whaka­tō iho; e taea hoki e tēnei te whaka­ora ō koutou wairua.

22Hei kai­mahi anō koutou i te kupu, kaua hei kai­whaka­rongo anake, kei tini­hanga­tia koutou e koutou anō.

23Ki te mea hoki he kai­whaka­rongo tētahi i te kupu, ehara nei i te kai­mahi, he rite ia ki te tangata e mā­taki­taki ana ki tōna kanohi māori i roto i te whaka­ata,

24i tōna mā­taki­taki­nga hoki i a ia anō, haere ana, ware­ware tonu ake he āhua pēhea rānei tōna.

25Tēnā ko te tangata e āta ti­tiro iho ana ki te ture tino tika, ki te mea here­kore, ā, ka ū tonu, he kai­whaka­rongo anō ia e kore e ware­ware, engari, e mahi ana i te mahi, e hari anō tēnei i tāna mahi.

26Ki te mea he āhua kara­kia tō tētahi i roto i a koutou, ki te kore e pa­rai­re­tia e ia tōna arero, he tini­hanga hoki tāna ki tōna ngākau, he mau­mau kara­kia tāna.

27Ko te kara­kia pono, ko te mea poke­kore ki te aro­aro o te Atua Matua, ko ia tēnei: Ko te tiro­tiro i ngā pani i ngā pouaru i ō rātou mate, ko te tiaki i a ia ake kei poke i te ao.
