Piripai 2 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Te Ngākau Māhaki me te Whakahirahiratanga o Īhu

1Nā, ki te mea he whakamārie kei roto i a te Karaiti, ki te mea he pēhi mamae tō te aroha, ki te mea he whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua, ki te mea he ngākau aroha, he mahi tohu,

2kia rite tōku hari i a koutou, kia kotahi te whakaaro, kia kotahi te aroha, huihuia ngā ngākau i runga i te whakaaro kotahi.

3Kei meinga tētahi mea i runga i te wehewehe, i te whakapehapeha rānei, engari i runga i te ngākau pāpaku, me te whakanui a tētahi i tētahi ki runga ake i a ia.

4Kaua tēnā o koutou nā, e titiro ki ōna mea anake, engari me titiro anō tēnā, tēnā o koutou ki ngā mea a ētahi atu.

5Ko tēnei hei whakaaro mō koutou, ko tērā i a Karaiti Īhu:

6Ahakoa hoki i a ia te āhua o te Atua,

kīhai i meinga e ia te rite ki te Atua

hei taonga kapo mai.

7Engari i mea i a ia anō kia pōaha,

ka mau ki te āhua o te pononga,

ka meinga kia rite ki te tangata;

8ā, ka kitea nei tōna āhua

e rite ana ki tō te tangata,

ka whakapāpaku ia i a ia,

ka meinga kia ngohengohe, ahakoa ki te mate,

āe rā, ki te mate o te rīpeka.

9Nā konei whakateiteitia ake ana ia e te Atua,

ā, hoatu ana ki a ia te ingoa nui atu i ngā ingoa katoa;

10kia tuku ai i runga i te ingoa o Īhu ngā turi katoa,

o ngā mea i te rangi, o ngā mea i te whenua,

o ngā mea i raro i te whenua;

11ā, kia whakaae ngā arero katoa

ko Īhu Karaiti te Ariki,

hei whakakorōria i te Atua Matua.

E Tīaho ana he Māramatanga i roto i te Ao

12Heoi, e ōku tēina aroha, he mea tonu ia nā koutou te ngohengohe ki ahau i ngā wā katoa, ehara i te mea i ōku wā anake i konā, engari rawa ia ināianei i ahau kāhore i konā, nā, whakaotia tō koutou whakaoranga i runga i te wehi, i te wiri;

13ko te Atua hoki te kaimahi i roto i a koutou o te hiahia, o te mahi, hei mea i tāna i pai ai.

14I ā koutou mahi katoa kaua te amuamu, te tautohetohe;

15kia kore ai koutou e whaikupuria, kia tapatahi ai, he tamariki kohakore nā te Atua, i waenganui o te whakatupuranga tutū, parori kē, kei roto nei koutou i a rātou e tīaho ana hei rama i te ao;

16kia mau pū ki te kupu o te ora; kia hari ai ahau ā te rā o te Karaiti, kīhai ahau i oma noa, kīhai i mahi noa.

17Nā, ki te ringihia ahau ki runga ki te patunga tapu, ki ngā mahi a tō koutou whakapono, ka hari ahau, inā, ka hari tahi me koutou katoa.

18Waihoki ko koutou, kia hari, hari tahi me ahau.

Ko Tīmoti rāua ko Epaporitu

19Otiia, e mea ana ahau i roto i te Ariki, i a Īhu, ki te tono tata atu i a Tīmoti ki a koutou, kia ora ai hoki tōku ngākau, ina mōhio ahau ki tō koutou āhua.

20Kāhore hoki ōku tāngata rite te ngākau ki tōna, hei mahara pono ki ā koutou mea.

21Ko tā te katoa hoki e rapu nei, ko tā rātou ake, kāhore ngā mea a Īhu Karaiti.

22Ko koutou ia e mātau ana ki ōna tohu, he pērā tāna me tā te tamaiti ki te matua, ko tōku hoa ia ki te kawe haere i te rongopai.

23Ko ia tāku e mea nei kia tonoa wawetia atu, ina kite ahau i te tukunga iho ki ahau.

24Otiia, e ū ana tōku whakaaro i roto te Ariki, ka hohoro tōku tae atu.

25I mea anō ia ahau me tono atu ki a koutou a Epaporitu, tōku teina, tōku hoa mahi, tōku hoa hōia, nā koutou ia karere, he kaimahi anō hoki i ngā mea i matea e ahau.

26Kōingo tonu hoki ia ki a koutou katoa, kōnohi rawa, nō te mea i rongo koutou he tūroro ia.

27He tūroro rā hoki ia, tata pū ki te mate. Otirā, i tohungia ia e te Atua; ehara anō i te mea ko ia anake, ko ahau anō hoki, kei tāpiritia he pōuri ki tōku pōuri.

28Koia i nui rawa ai tōku ngākau ki te tono atu i a ia, kia kite ai anō koutou i a ia, kia hari ai, kia tāharahara iho ai hoki tōku pōuri.

29Kia nui te hari i runga i te Ariki, ina tae atu ia; whakahōnoretia anō hoki ngā pērā;

30nō te mea nā te mahi ki a te Karaiti i tata ai ia ki te mate, te ihupuku ki te ora, kia rite ai i a ia ngā mahi ki ahau, kīhai nei i rite i a koutou.
