Ko Pita rāua ko Koroniria
1Nā, i Hiharia tētahi tangata, ko Koroniria te ingoa, he keneturio nō te pū i kīa nei ko tō Itari.2He tangata karakia ia, e wehi ana i te Atua, rātou ko tōna whare katoa, he maha āna mahi atawhai ki te iwi, me te īnoi tonu ki te Atua.3I kite nui ia, he whakarehu, i te mea ka tata ki te iwa o ngā hāora o te rā, i tētahi anahera a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki a ia, e mea ana hoki ki a ia, “E Koroniria!”4Nā, ka titiro matatau atu ia ki a ia, ka wehi, ka mea, “He aha, e te Ariki?”Ka kī tērā ki a ia, “Kua puta ake āu īnoi me āu mahi atawhai, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o te Atua.5Nā, tonoa āianei he tangata ki Hopa, ki te tiki i a Haimona, ko te rua nei o ōna ingoa ko Pita.6He manuhiri ia nā Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha nei o te moana tōna whare.”7Ā, nō te rironga atu o te anahera i kōrero nei ki a ia, ka karangatia e ia tokorua o āna pononga tāne, me tētahi hōia karakia nō te hunga e mahi tonu ana ki a ia;8ā, ka oti ngā mea katoa te kōrero ki a rātou, ka tonoa rātou e ia ki Hopa.9Nā i te aonga ake, i a rātou e haere ana, e whakatata atu ana ki te pā, ka kake a Pita ki runga ki te tuanui, i te ono o ngā hāora, ki te īnoi.10Nā ka pā ki a ia te matekai, ka mea ki te kai; otirā, i a rātou e taka mai ana, ka tau iho te wairua matakite ki a ia.11Nā, ka kite ia i te rangi kua tuwhera, me tētahi mea e heke iho ana, he mea tuku iho mā ngā pito e whā, ki te whenua.12I roto i taua mea ngā momo kararehe waewae whā katoa, ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa o te whenua, me ngā manu o te rangi.13I reira, ka puta mai he reo ki a ia, “Whakatika, e Pita; patua, kainga.”14Ko Pita ia i mea, “Kāhore, e te Ariki; kīanō ahau i kai i te mea noa, i te mea poke rānei.”15Ka puta mai anō he reo ki a ia, ka tuaruatia, “Ko ā te Atua i mea ai kia mā, kaua e whakanoatia e koe.”16E toru meatanga o tēnei, ā, i reira tonu ka tangohia atu taua mea ki te rangi.17I taua wā tonu, i a Pita e whakaaroaro ana i roto i a ia ki te tikanga o tēnei whakakitenga, nā, ko ngā tāngata i tonoa mai rā e Koroniria, tērā kua uiui ki te whare o Haimona, tū ana i mua i te kūwaha.18Karanga ana mai, ui ana, kei reira rānei e noho ana a Pita, te rua nei o ōna ingoa ko Haimona.19Ā, i a Pita e whakaaro ana mō taua whakakitenga, ka mea te Wairua ki a ia, “Nana, tokotoru ēnei tāngata e rapu ana i a koe.20Nā, whakatika, heke atu, haere tahi koutou, kei ruarua; nāku hoki rātou i tono mai.”21Nā, ka heke atu a Pita ki aua tāngata, ka mea, “Nā, ko ahau tēnei e rapu nei koutou. He aha te take o tā koutou haere mai?”22Nā, ka mea rātou, “Ko Koroniria rā, he keneturio, he tangata tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e kōrerotia paitia ana e te iwi katoa o ngā Hūrai, kua whakamaharatia ia e te Atua nā tētahi anahera tapu kia tīkina atu koe ki tōna whare, kia rongo ia ki ētahi kupu i a koe.”23Nā, karanga ana ia i a rātou ki roto hei manuhiri māna.
Ā, i te aonga ake, ka whakatika ia ka haere atu me rātou, ā, ko ētahi o ngā tēina nō Hopa i haere tahi me ia.24Ā, ao ake ka tomo rātou ki Hiharia. Nā, ko Koroniria e tatari mai ana ki a rātou, he mea karanga nāna kia huihui mai ōna whanaunga me ōna hoa tupu.25Ā, nō ka tomo atu a Pita, ka tūtaki a Koroniria ki a ia, ka hinga ki ōna waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.26Otirā, ka whakaara ake a Pita i a ia, ka mea, “E tū ki runga; he tangata nei anō ahau.”27Nā, i a ia e kōrero ana ki a ia, ka tomo atu ia ki roto, ka kite i te menenga tokomaha,28ka mea atu ki a rātou, “E mātau ana koutou e kore e tika kia huihui te tangata o ngā Hūrai, kia haere atu rānei ki te tangata iwi kē; otiia, kua whakakitea e te Atua ki ahau kia kaua e kīa tētahi tangata he noa, he poke.29Koia ahau i haere mai ai, kīhai i aha i te tikinga ake i ahau. Nā, ka ui nei ahau, he aha te take i tīkina ake ai ahau?”30Ka mea a Koroniria, “Ka whā ngā rā ināianei tae mai ki tēnei hāora, e whakarite ana ahau i te īnoinga o te iwa o ngā hāora i roto i tōku whare; nā, ko te tangata e tū ana i tōku aroaro, kanapa tonu te kākahu,31e mea ana, ‘E Koroniria, kua rangona tāu īnoi, ā, e maharatia ana āu mahi atawhai i te aroaro o te Atua.32Nā, tonoa he tangata ki Hopa, ka karanga ki a koe i a Haimona, te rua nei o ōna ingoa ko Pita; he manuhiri ia i roto i te whare o Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha moana.’33I reira tonu ka tono tāngata atu ahau ki a koe. Nā, he pai rawa tōu haerenga mai. Nō reira, kei konei katoa mātou kei te aroaro o te Atua, whakarongo ai ki ngā mea katoa kua whakahaua e te Ariki ki a koe.”
