Te Kupu ki Epeha

1“Tuhituhi atu ki te anahera o te hāhi i Epeha:

“Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te kaipupuri i ngā whetū e whitu i tōna matau, e hāereere ana i waenganui o ngā tūranga rama kōura e whitu.

2Ka mātau ahau ki āu mahi, ki tōu uaua, ki tōu manawanui, e kore hoki koe e āta hanga ki te hunga kino. Kua whakamātautauria hoki e koe te hunga e mea nei he āpōtoro rātou, ā, ehara, kua mau i a koe he hunga teka rātou.

3I whakamanawanui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pēhia, he whakaaro ki tōku ingoa, kāhore hoki i hōhā.

4“Otirā, he mea anō tāku ki a koe, kua whakarērea e koe tōu aroha tuatahi.

5Nā, kia mahara ki te wāhi i taka iho ai koe, rīpenetā, mahia hoki ngā mahi ō mua; ki te kāhore, ka hohoro tāku haere atu ki a koe, ka nekehia atu e ahau tōu tūranga rama i tōna wāhi ki te kore koe e rīpenetā.

6Ko tēnei ia tāu nā, e kino ana koe ki ngā hanga a ngā Nīkoraiti, e kinongia nei hoki e ahau.

7“Ko te tangata he taringa tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, ka hoatu e ahau māna e kai tō te rākau o te ora, e tū ana i waenganui o te Pararaiha o te Atua.”

Te Kupu ki Hamurana

8“Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hāhi i Hamurana:

“Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te Tuatahi, a te Whakamutunga, i mate nei, ā, kua ora anō.

9Ka mātau ahau ki tōu tūkinotanga ki tōu rawakoretanga; engari he whai rawa tonu koe. E mātau ana anō ahau ki ngā hahani a te hunga e mea nei he Hūrai rātou, ā, ehara, engari ko te whakamenenga rātou a Hātana.

10Kaua e wehi ki ngā mamae meāke nei pā ki a koe. Nā, tērā e makā ētahi o koutou e te rēwera ki te whare herehere, kia whakamātautauria ai koutou; ā, ka whakamamaetia koutou kotahi tekau ngā rā. Kia pono koe ā mate noa, ā, māku e hoatu ki a koe te karauna o te ora.

11“Ko te tangata he taringa tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, e kore ia e hē i te matenga tuarua.”

Te Kupu ki Perekamu

12“Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera o te hāhi i Perekamu:

“Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te kaimau i te hoari koi, i te mea matarua.

13Ka mātau ahau ki te wāhi e noho nā koe, ko te wāhi ia i te torōna o Hātana. E mau ana hoki koe ki tōku ingoa, kāhore hoki koe i whakakāhore ki tōku whakapono, i ngā rā iara i tāku kaiwhakaatu pono, i a Anatipa, i whakamatea nei i roto i a koutou i te wāhi e noho nā a Hātana.

14“Tēnei ia ētahi mea āku ki a koe, nō te mea kei a koe te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a Paraama, nāna nei i whakaako a Paraka ki te maka tūtukitanga waewae ki te aroaro o ngā tama a Īharaira, i kai ai rātou i ngā mea i patua mā te whakapakoko, i moepuku ai hoki.

15Kei a koe anō hoki te hunga e mau ana ki te ako a ngā Nīkoraiti, pērā anō.

16Nō reira, rīpenetā; nā, ki te kāhore, ka hohoro tāku haere atu ki a koe, ā, ka whawhaitia rātou e ahau ki te hoari a tōku māngai.

17“Ko te tangata he taringa tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi. Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, ka hoatu e ahau te mana huna, ka hoatu anō e ahau ki a ia he kōhatu mā, me te ingoa hou, he mea tuhituhi ki te kōhatu, e kore nei e mātauria e tētahi, ko te tangata anake e whiwhi ana.”

Te Kupu ki Taiataira

18“Tuhituhi atu hoki ki te anahera te hāhi o Taiataira:

“Ko ngā kupu ēnei a te Tama a te Atua, ko ōna kanohi nei me te mea he mura ahi, ōna waewae rite tonu ki te parāhi pīata.

19E mātau ana ahau ki āu mahi, ki tōu aroha, ki tāu mahi minita, ki tōu whakapono, ki tōu manawanui, ā, nui atu āu mahi ō muri nei i ngā mea ō mua.

20“Tēnei anō ia ētahi mea āku ki a koe, nō te mea e tukua ana e koe taua wahine a Ietēpere, e mea nei he poropiti ia; kei te whakaako, kei te kukume i āku pononga kia moepuku, kia kai anō hoki i ngā mea e patua ana mā ngā whakapakoko.

21Ā, i hoatu e ahau ki a ia he tāima e rīpenetā ai ia; otirā, kāhore ia e pai kia rīpenetā i tāna moepuku.

22Nā, ka makā ia e ahau ki tētahi moenga, me te hunga e pūremu ana ki a ia, ki roto ki te whiu taimaha, mehemea kāhore rātou e rīpenetā ki ā rātou mahi.

23Ka whakamatea hoki e ahau āna tamariki kia mate rawa; ā, ka mātau ngā hāhi katoa ko ahau te kairapu i tā ngā whatumanawa, i tā ngā ngākau. Ka rite hoki ki ā koutou mahi tāku e hoatu ai ki tēnei, ki tēnei o koutou.

24Ko tāku kupu ia tēnei ki a koutou, ki ērā atu hoki i Taiataira, ki te hunga kāhore nei i a rātou tēnei ako, kāhore anō kia mātau ki ngā mea hōhonu a Hātana, ki tā rātou e kōrero nei; e kore e whakawahā e ahau tētahi atu mea taimaha ki a koutou.

25Ko te mea ia i a koutou, puritia kia mau kia tae atu rā anō ahau.

26“Nā, ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, ko te tangata hoki e puritia e ia āku mahi taea noatia te mutunga, māku e hoatu ki a ia he mana rangatira ki ngā tauiwi.

27He rino hoki te tokotoko e whakahaere tikanga ai ia mō rātou, ka pērā i ngā oko a te kaipokepoke paru, ka pakaru rikiriki; ka rite ki tā tōku Matua i hōmai ai ki ahau.

28Ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia te whetū o te ata.

29Ko te tangata he taringa tōna, kia rongo ia ki tā te Wairua e mea nei ki ngā hāhi.”
