Ngā Hiperu 13 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Ratonga hei Whakakoa i te Atua

1Kia mau tonu te aroha ki ngā tēina.

2Kei wareware ki te atawhai manuhiri; nā tēnei hoki i whakamanuhiri anahera ai ētahi, kīhai anō i mātau atu.

3Maharatia ngā herehere, me te mea nō koutou tahi te hereherenga; me te hunga hoki e whakatupuria kinotia ana, kei te tinana nā hoki koutou.

4Meinga te mārena hei mea hōnore mā te katoa, ā, kaua te moenga e tukua kia poke. Ko te hunga moepuku ia, me te hunga pūremu, e whakataua e te Atua te hē ki a rātou.

5Whakakāhoretia atu te mahi apo taonga; kāti anō ngā mea mā koutou ko ngā mea i a koutou nā. Kua mea mai hoki ia,

“E kore ahau e whakarere i a koe,

e kore anō hoki e mawehe i a koe.”

6Heoi, ka māia tātou ki te kī ake:

“Kei tōku taha te Ariki, e kore ahau e mataku

ki tā te tangata e mea ai ki ahau.”

7Kia mahara ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i a koutou, kua kōrero nei i te kupu a te Atua ki a koutou. Tirohia te tukunga iho o tā rātou whakahaere, kia rite tō koutou ki tō rātou whakapono.

8Tūturu tonu a Īhu Karaiti inanahi, ināianei, ā ake ake.

9Kei kāhakihakina koutou e ngā whakaakoranga maha, e ngā mea poka hou ake. He mea pai hoki kia whakaūkia te ngākau ki runga i te aroha noa; ehara i te mea ki ngā kai, kāhore hoki he pai o ēnā mea mō te hunga nā rātou nei tērā mahi.

10He āta anō tā tātou, e kore nei e tika kia kainga tōna e te hunga e mahi ana i tā te tapenākara.

11Nā, ko ngā kararehe nō rātou nei ngā toto e mauria ana e te tohunga nei mō te hara ki roto ki te Wāhi Tino Tapu, e tahuna ana ngā tinana o ērā ki waho o te puni.

12Nā reira hoki a Īhu, i tāna whakatapunga i te iwi ki ōna toto ake anō, i mamae ai ki waho o te kūwaha.

13Nā, kia haere atu tātou ki a ia ki waho o te puni, me te mau anō tātou i tōna tāwainga.

14Kāhore hoki he pā tūmau mō tātou i konei, engari e rapu ana tātou i tētahi i roto i ngā wā ā muri nei.

15Nā, kia tāpaea atu e tātou ki runga ki a ia i ngā wā katoa te whakamoemiti ki te Atua hei whakahere, arā te hua o ngā ngutu e whakawhetai ana ki tōna ingoa.

16Kei wareware hoki ki te mahi pai, ki te atawhai. E manakohia ana hoki e te Atua ngā patunga tapu pērā.

17Kia ngohengohe ki ō koutou kaitohutohu, kia ngāwari ki tā rātou kupu; e mataara ana hoki rātou ki ō koutou wairua, ā, me kōrero anō e rātou ā mua te tikanga o ā rātou mahi. Kia hari ai rātou ina mea i tēnei, kia kaua hoki e pōuri; kāhore hoki he pai o tēnei mō koutou.

18Īnoi mō mātou; ū tonu hoki tō mātou whakaaro ki tō mātou hinengaro he pai, e hiahia ana hoki mātou kia tika tā mātou whakahaere i ngā mea katoa.

19I kaha rawa ai tāku whakahau ki a koutou kia meatia tēnei, he mea kia wawe ai ahau te whakahokia atu ki a koutou.

He Īnoi Mutunga

20Nā, mā te Atua o te rangimārie, nāna nei i whakahoki mai i roto i te hunga mate tō tātou Ariki, a Īhu, taua Hēpara nui o ngā hipi, he meatanga nā ngā toto o te kawenata mutungakore,

21māna koutou e mea kia tino tika i runga i ngā mahi pai katoa, kia mahia anō e koutou tāna i pai ai. Māna e mahi i roto i a koutou te mea e āhuareka ana ki tāna titiro, i roto anō i a Īhu Karaiti; waiho atu i a ia te korōria ake ake. Āmine.

Poroporoaki

22He kupu anō tēnei nāku ki a koutou, e ōku tēina, āta whakarangona mai te kupu whakahau; he torutoru nei hoki ngā kupu kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou.

23Kia mātau koutou kua tukua ki waho tō tātou teina, a Tīmoti. Ki te haere wawe mai ia, ko māua tahi e kite i a koutou.

24Oha atu ki te hunga katoa e tohutohu ana i a koutou, ki te hunga tapu katoa anō hoki. Tēnei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hunga o Itari.

25Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou katoa. Āmine.
