Raniera 10 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Tā Raniera Kitenga i te Tangata Mau Rinena

1I te toru o ngā tau o Hairuha kīngi o Pahia, i whakakitea he mea ki a Raniera, i huaina nei ko Peretehatara, ā, he tika taua mea, he mea mō tētahi whawhai nui. Ā, i mātau ia ki taua mea, i mōhio anō hoki ki te tikanga o te kite.

2I aua rā i te tangi ahau, a Raniera, e toru ngā tino wiki.

3Kīhai tētahi kai e minaminatia ana i kainga e ahau, kīhai anō te kikokiko, te wāina rānei, i tapoko ki tōku māngai, ā, kīhai rawa ahau i whakawahi i ahau ā taka noa ngā tino wiki e toru.

4Nā, i te rua tekau mā whā o ngā rā o te marama tuatahi, i ahau i te taha o te awa nui, arā o Hirekere,

5ka ara ake ōku kanohi, ā, ka titiro, ka kite ahau, nā, ko tētahi tangata he kākahu rīnena tōna, ko tōna hope he mea whītiki ki te kōura parakore o Upuhata.

6Ko tōna tinana hoki rite tonu ki te perira, ko tōna mata rite tonu ki te āhua o te uira, ko ōna kanohi kei ngā rama ahi te rite, ko ōna ringa, ko ōna waewae, rite tonu te kara ki tō te parāhi kua oti te whakakanapa, ā, ko te reo o āna kupu, ānō ko te reo o te mano.

7Nā, ko ahau anake, ko Raniera, i kite i taua whakakitenga. Kīhai hoki ōku hoa i kite i taua whakakitenga; engari i tau te wiri nui ki a rātou, ā, rere ana ki te piri;

8ā, mahue iho ko ahau anake. Nā, ka kite ahau i tēnei mea nui; kīhai anō hoki i mahue he kaha i roto i ahau. I puta kē hoki tōku ātaahua, kore iho, kāhore hoki he kaha i mau i ahau.

9I rongo anō ia ahau i te reo o āna kupu; ā, i tōku rongonga i te reo o āna kupu, nā, ka riro ahau i te moe au tonu, me tōku tāpapa anō, tōku mata anga tonu ki te whenua.

10Nā, kua pā he ringa ki ahau, nā reira ahau i whakaara ki runga ki ōku turi, ki runga hoki i ngā kapu o ōku ringa.

11Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “E Raniera, e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana, kia mōhio koe ki ngā kupu ka kōrerotia nei e ahau ki a koe; e tū ki runga; kua ungā mai hoki ahau ināianei ki a koe.” Nā, i tāna kōrerotanga i tēnei kupu ki ahau, ka tū ahau, me te wiri.

12Kātahi tērā ka kī mai ki ahau, “Kaua e wehi, e Raniera, nō te mea nō te rā tuatahi anō i anga ai tōu ngākau ki te mātau, ki te whakaiti i a koe ki te aroaro o tōu Atua, i rangona ai āu kupu; ā, nā āu kupu hoki ahau i haere mai ai.

13Otiia i tūria mai ahau e te rangatira o te kīngitanga, o Pahia, e rua tekau mā tahi ngā rā. Nā, kua tae mai a Mikaera, tētahi o ngā tino rangatira, hei āwhina mōku, ā, noho ana ahau i reira i ngā kīngi o Pahia.

14Nā, kua tae mai nei ahau kia mātau ai koe ki ngā mea e pā ki tōu iwi i ngā rā whakamutunga. Ko te kite hoki mō ngā rā maha e takoto ake nei.”

15Nā, i tāna kōrerotanga mai i ēnei kupu ki ahau, ka anga tōku mata ki te whenua, kāhore hoki āku kupu.

16Nā, kua pā tētahi ki ōku ngutu, ko tōna āhua kei tō ngā tama a te tangata. Nā, ka puaki tōku māngai, ā, ka kōrero ahau, ka mea ki tērā i tū rā ki tōku aroaro, “E tōku ariki, nā te kite rā, kua tahuri iho ōku pōuritanga ngākau ki ahau, kāhore hoki he kaha e mau ana ki ahau.

17Mā te aha hoki e āhei ai i te pononga a tēnei ariki ōku te kōrero ki tēnei ariki ōku? Ko ahau nei hoki, kore tonu iho he maunga o te kaha i roto i ahau, kīhai anō i mahue he manawa i roto i ahau.”

18Kātahi ka pā anō tētahi ki ahau, ko tōna āhua rite tonu ki tō te tangata, ā, whakakahangia ana ahau e ia.

19I mea ia, “Kaua e wehi e te tangata e arohaina nuitia ana; kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia kaha, āe rā, kia kaha.”

Nā, i tāna kōrerotanga ki ahau, kua kaha ahau. Nā, ka mea ahau, “Mā tōku ariki e kōrero mai; kua oti nei hoki ahau te whakakaha e koe.”

20Kātahi tērā ka kī mai, “E mōhio ana rānei koe ki te mea i haere mai ai ahau ki a koe? Nā, ākuanei ahau hoki ai ki te whawhai ki te rangatira o Pahia. Ka puta atu ahau, nā, ka haere mai te rangatira o Kariki.

21Me whakaatu anō ia e ahau ki a koe te mea i tuhituhia ki te karaipiture pono. Kāhore hoki tētahi e whakakaha ana i a ia anō hei hoa mōku ki ēnei mea, ko tō koutou rangatira anake, ko Mikaera.”
