Ngā Hiperu 10 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

1I te mea ko tō te ture he ātārangi nō ngā mea pai e puta ana mai i muri, ehara i te āhua pū o aua mea, e kore e whai mana i aua patunga tapu e whakaeketia tonutia ana e rātou i tēnei tau, i tēnei tau, e tino tika ai te hunga e whakatata ana.

2Pēnei e kore rānei e mutu te whakaeke? Me i oti hoki te hunga nāna taua karakia te mea kia mā, kua kore ō rātou mahara ki ngā hara?

3I aua patunga tapu ia e hokihoki ana te mahara ki ngā hara i ia tau, i ia tau.

4E kore hoki e tau mā ngā toto o ngā pūru, o ngā koati e whakakāhore ngā hara.

5Nā reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia:

“Kīhai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere,

kua rite mai i a koe he tinana mōku.

6Kīhai koe i āhuareka ki ngā tahunga tinana,

ki ngā whakahere hara.

7Kātahi ahau ka mea atu, ‘Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei,

kei roto i te upoko o te pukapuka te tuhituhinga mōku,

ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua.’ ”

8I tāna meatanga i mua ake, “Kīhai koe i matenui ki te patunga tapu, ki te whakahere, ki ngā tahunga tinana, ki ngā whakahere hara, kāhore anō hoki ōu āhuareka mai,” he mea nei e tāpaea ana i runga i te ture.

9Kātahi ia ka mea, “Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua.” E tangohia ana e ia te tuatahi, kia whakatūria ai e ia te tuarua.

10Nā taua pai nei i oti ai tātou te whakatapu, he meatanga nā te tāpaenga atu kotahi o te tinana o Īhu Karaiti.

11Nā, ko ngā tohunga katoa, e tū ana rātou, e minita ana i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā, he maha anō hoki ā rātou whakaekenga atu i aua patunga tapu rā anō, e kore rawa nei e tau hei tango i ngā hara.

12Ko tēnei ia, kotahi nei tāna patunga tapu i whakaeke atu ai mō ngā hara, noho tonu atu i te ringa matau o te Atua

13i muri nei he tatari tāna kia waiho rā anō ōna hoariri hei takahanga mō ōna waewae.

14Kotahi nei hoki tāna whakahere, ā, tika tonu i a ia ake ake te hunga ka oti te whakatapu.

15Hei kaiwhakaatu anō te Wairua Tapu mō tēnei ki a tātou; i muri mai i tāna kīanga mai,

16“Ko te kawenata tēnei e whakaritea e ahau

ki a rātou i muri i aua rā, e kī ana te Ariki:

Ka hoatu e ahau āku ture ki ō rātou ngākau,

ka tuhituhia hoki e ahau ki ō rātou hinengaro,”

ā, ka mea anō ia,

17“E kore hoki e maharatia e ahau ō rātou hara,

ō rātou kino ā mua ake.”

18Nā, ki te murua ēnei, kāhore he whakahere mō ngā hara i muri iho.

Kia Whakatata atu Tātou ki te Atua

19Nā, e ōku tēina, ka ai nei ngā toto o Īhu hei take e māia ai tātou te tomo ki te Tino Wāhi Tapu,

20hei ara hou mō tātou, arā hei ara ora, he mea whakatapu nāna, e tika atu ana nā te ārai, arā nā tōna kikokiko.

21Ā, i te mea he nui tō tātou tohunga mō te whare o te Atua,

22kia whakatata atu tātou, i runga i te ngākau pono, i te whakapono e tino ū ana, he mea tāuhiuhi te ngākau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi anō hoki te tinana ki te wai mārama.

23Kia mau tā tātou whakaae ki te mea e tūmanakohia atu nei, kei ngāueue; he pono hoki tā te kaiwhakaari mai.

24Kia whai whakaaro anō tātou tētahi ki tētahi, kia whakaohokia te aroha me ngā mahi pai,

25kei mahue te huihui i a tātou anō, kei pērā me te hanga a ētahi. Engari me whakahauhau tētahi i tētahi, kia nui rawa anō hoki i te mea ka kite koutou ka tata te rā.

26Ki te hara hoki tātou i muri iho i tō tātou whiwhinga ki te mātauranga ki te pono, kāhore atu hoki he patunga tapu i mahue mō ngā hara;

27engari, ka tatari āhua mataku ki te whakawā, ki te riri kino anō nā te ahi, e whakangaromia ai ngā hoariri.

28Ko te tangata i takahi i te ture a Mohi kīhai i tohungia, ka mate i runga i te kupu a ngā kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru rānei.

29Ki tō koutou whakaaro, e kore rānei e tika kia rahi ake te whiu mō te tangata i takahia ai te Tama a te Atua, i meinga ai hei mea noa ngā toto o te kawenata i whakatapua ai ia, ā, whakaiti ana i te Wairua o te aroha noa?

30E mātau ana hoki tātou nā wai tēnei kupu, “Māku te rapu utu; māku te hoatu utu, e ai tā te Ariki”; me tēnei anō, “E whakawā te Ariki mō tāna iwi.”

31He mea mataku te taka ki roto ki ngā ringaringa o te Atua ora.

32Engari, kia mahara ki ngā rā ō mua, i a koutou i whakamāramatia rā, he nui noa atu ngā rauhanga a te mate, i whakaririka kau nā koutou.

33Ko tētahi wāhi, i a koutou i meinga e ngā tāwainga, e ngā tūkinotanga hei mea mātakitaki; ko tētahi wāhi, i a koutou i meinga hei hoa mō te hunga i pērātia.

34I mamae tahi hoki koutou me te hunga i te herehere, i hari hoki ki te pāhuatanga o ō koutou taonga, i mahara hoki tērā atu he taonga mō koutou, he mea pai ake, he mea pūmau tonu.

35Nā, kaua e whakarērea tō koutou māia, he rahi hoki tōna utu.

36Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga mā koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi tā te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou ngā mea i whakaaria mai rā.

37“Potopoto kau ake hoki,

ā, ka tae mai tēnei e haere mai nei,

e kore anō e whakaroa.

38Mā te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika;

ā, ki te hoki tētahi ki muri,

e kore tōku wairua e āhuareka ki a ia.”

39Otiia, ehara tātou i te hunga e hoki ana ki muri, ki te whakangaromanga, engari nō te hunga e whakapono ana, ā, ora ana te wairua.
