Karatia 2 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Ko Pāora rātou ko ērā atu Āpōtoro

1Muri iho, kia pahure ngā tau tekau mā whā, ka haere anō ahau ki Hiruhārama māua ko Pānapa, me te mau anō i a Taituha hei hoa mōku.

2Nā te whakakitenga mai hoki ahau i haere ai, ā, whakatakotoria ana e ahau ki a rātou te rongopai e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki ngā tauiwi; otiia, i meatia pukutia ki te hunga whai ingoa, kei maumau kau tāku oma onāianei, ō mua rā rānei.

3Kīhai ia a Taituha tōku hoa, he Kariki nei ia, i meinga kia kotia.

4Mō ngā tēina teka hoki i whakaurua pukutia mai, i haere puku mai nei ki te tirotiro i tō mātou āhua, he herekore i roto i a Karaiti Īhu, kia whakataurekareka ai rātou i a mātou.

5Kīhai rawa mātou i whakangāwari iho, i rongo ki a rātou, ahakoa kotahi hāora; he mea kia mau ai te pono o te rongopai ki a koutou.

6Otirā, ko te hunga whai ingoa – ahakoa he aha rātou, kāhore tahi he tikanga ki ahau: kāhore a te Atua whakapai ki te kanohi tangata – kīhai rātou, te hunga whai ingoa, i whakaatu mea ki ahau.

7Engari i tō rātou kitenga kua tukua ki ahau te rongopai ki te kotingakore, pērā hoki me tērā ki te kotinga kua tukua rā ki a Pita;

8ko te kaimahi hoki i roto i a Pita hei āpōtoro ki te kotinga, mahi ana anō ia i roto i ahau ki ngā tauiwi.

9Nā, nō rātou ka mātau ki te aroha noa kua hōmai ki ahau, ka hōmai e Hēmi, e Kipa, e Hoani, i meinga nei hei pou, ngā ringa matau hei whakahoatanga ki a māua ko Pānapa, mō māua kia haere ki ngā tauiwi, ko rātou ia ki te kotinga.

10Otiia, me mahara māua ki te hunga rawakore; he mea anō hoki tēnā i hihiko ai ahau.

Ka Whakatūpehupehu a Pāora ki a Pita i Anitioka

11Nā, i te taenga mai o Kipa ki Anatioka, ka whakatika atu ahau ki a ia he kanohi, he kanohi, nō te mea kua tika kia whakahēngia ia.

12I mua hoki o te taenga mai o ētahi i a Hēmi, e kai tahi ana ia me ngā tauiwi. Nō tō rātou taenga mai ia, neke atu ana ia, momotu kē ana i a ia; i mataku hoki ki te hunga o te kotinga.

13I uru anō ērā atu Hūrai ki tōna tinihanga; heoi, riro pū a Pānapa i tō rātou tinihanga.

14Otirā, i tōku kitenga kīhai rātou i haere tika i runga i te pono o te rongopai, ka mea ahau ki a Kipa i te aroaro o rātou katoa, ki te mea, “Ko koe, he Hūrai, ka whakatauiwi i a koe, ā, kāhore e whakahūrai, me pēhea e taea ai e koe te mea ngā tauiwi kia Hūrai?”

Ka Ora ngā Hūrai, ngā Tauiwi i runga i te Whakapono

15“Ko tātou, ko ngā Hūrai tupu nei, ehara nei i te hunga hara nō ngā tauiwi,

16kua mōhio nei ehara ngā mahi a te ture i te mea e tika ai te tangata, engari ko te whakapono ki a Īhu Karaiti; kua whakapono anō tātou ki a Īhu Karaiti, kia meinga ai te whakapono ki a te Karaiti hei tika mō tātou, kāhore ia ngā mahi a te ture; nō te mea kāhore rawa he kikokiko e tika i ngā mahi o te ture.

17“Nā, i a tātou e whai nei kia whakatikaia i roto i a te Karaiti, ki te kitea tātou nei he hunga hara, he minita rānei a te Karaiti ki te hara? Kāhore rāpea.

18Ki te mea hoki ka hangā anō e ahau ngā mea i wāhia e ahau, e whakakite ana ahau i ahau anō, he tangata hara.

19Nā te ture hoki ahau i tūpāpaku ai ki te ture, kia ora ai ahau ki te Atua.

20Kua rīpekatia tahitia ahau me te Karaiti; ā, e ora nei, ehara i te mea ko ahau, engari ko te Karaiti e ora ana i roto i ahau. E ora nei hoki ahau i roto i te kikokiko, he oranga nā te whakapono ki te Tama a te Atua, i aroha nei ki ahau, i tuku nei i a ia mōku.

21Kāhore āku whakakāhore i te aroha noa o te Atua; mehemea hoki i nā runga mai te tika i te ture, maumau mate noa a te Karaiti.”
