1Nā, i te hāpati ka haere ia rā waenga wīti; ā, katohia ana e āna ākonga ngā puku, wīti, kainga ake, he mea kōmukumuku ki te ringa.2Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā Parihi, “He aha koutou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika kia mahia i te hāpati?”3Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore ianei koutou i kite i tā Rāwiri i mea ai, i a ia e mate ana i te hiakai, rātou ko ōna hoa.4I tōna tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, ka tango ia i ngā taro aroaro, nā, kainga ana e ia, hoatu ana hoki ki ōna hoa; ko ngā mea kīhai nei i tika kia kainga, engari mā ngā tohunga anake?”5I mea anō ia ki a rātou, “Ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hāpati.”
Te Tangata i te Ringa Memenge
6Ā, i tētahi atu hāpati ka tomo ia ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako; i reira anō tētahi tangata, ko tōna ringa matau kua memenge.7Ka titiro whakamau ngā karaipi me ngā Parihi ki a ia, me kore ia e whakaora i te hāpati; kia whai take ai hei whakawākanga mōna.8Nā, ka mōhio ia ki ō rātou whakaaro, ka mea ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, “Whakatika, e tū ki waenganui.” Ā, whakatika ana ia, tū ana.9Kātahi ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Māku hoki e ui ki a koutou; he mea tika rānei te mahi pai i te hāpati, te mahi kino rānei? Te whakaora, te whakamate rānei?”10Nā, ka tirotiro ia ki a rātou katoa ka mea ki taua tangata, “Totoro mai tōu ringa.” Ā, pērā ana ia; nā, kua ora anō tōna ringa.11Nā, kī tonu rātou i te honohonoā ka kōrerorero ki a rātou anō, me aha rānei a Īhu e rātou.
Ka Whiriwhiria e Īhu ngā Āpōtoro Tekau mā rua
12Ā, i aua rā ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te īnoi, he īnoi tonu tāna i te roa o te pō ki te Atua.13Ā, ka ao te rā, ka karangatia e ia āna ākonga; ka whiriwhiria e ia kotahi tekau mā rua o rātou, ā, huaina ana hoki e ia hei āpōtoro:14Ko Haimona (i huaina hoki e ia ko Pita) ko tōna teina ko Anaru; ko Hēmi rāua ko Hoani, ko Piripi rāua ko Patoromu,15ko Matiu rāua ko Tamati, ko Hēmi tama a Arapiu, ko Haimona (e kīa nei ko Heroti),16ko Hūrā tama a Hēmi, ko Hūrā Ikariote hoki, ko ia nei te kaituku.
Ka Ako ka Whakaora a Īhu
17Nā, ka heke ngātahi iho rātou, tū ana i tētahi wāhi tairite, rātou ko te rōpū o āna ākonga, me te huihuinga nui o te iwi i Hūria katoa, i Hiruhārama, i te taha hoki o te moana o Tāira o Hairona, i haere mai nei ki te whakarongo ki a ia, kia whakaorangia hoki ō rātou mate;18me te hunga anō e whakatoia ana e ngā wairua poke, ā, whakaorangia ana rātou.19I whai anō te mano katoa kia pā ki a ia; i puta hoki he kaha i a ia, ā, whakaorangia ana rātou katoa.
Te Hari me te Pōuri
20Nā, ka titiro ōna kanohi ki āna ākonga, ka mea ia,“Ka koa koutou, e ngā rawakore;mō koutou hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!21Ka koa koutou e hiakai nei ināianei;ka mākona hoki koutou!Ka koa koutou e tangi nei ināianei;e kata hoki koutou!22“Ka koa koutou ina kinongia koutou e ngā tāngata, ina wehea atu i roto i a rātou, ina tāwaia ina rukea atu tō koutou ingoa, ānō he mea kino, mō te whakaaro ki te Tama a te tangata.23Kia hari i taua rā, me te tūpekepeke. He nui hoki tō koutou utu i te rangi; i pērātia hoki ngā poropiti e ō rātou mātua.24Otirā, auē te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga taonga;kua riro hoki i a koutou tō koutou whakamārie!25Auē, te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e mākona ana ināianei,e mate hoki koutou i te hiakai!Auē, te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e kata ana ināianei,ka auē hoki koutou, ka tangi!26“Auē, te mate mō koutou ua kōrerotia paitia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa! I pērā hoki ō rātou mātua ki ngā poropiti teka.
Te Aroha ki ngā Hoariri
27“Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou e whakarongo mai nei: arohaina ō koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou.28Manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me īnoi mō te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou.29Nā, ki te pākia tōu pāpāringa e tētahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tētahi; ki te tangohia tōu ngeri e tētahi, kaua e kaiponuhia tōu koti.30Hoatu ki ngā tāngata katoa e īnoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa āu mea ki te tangohia e te tangata.31Ā, ko tā koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ngā tāngata ki a koutou, meatia anō e koutou ki a rātou.32“Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a rātou.33Ki te atawhai hoki koutou i te hunga e atawhai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E pēnā ana anō te hunga hara.34Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai rātou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mō te pērā kia whakahokia ki a rātou.35Engari, kia aroha ki ō koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a rātou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua anō e mutu te tūmanako; ā, tērā e rahi te whakautu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tamariki mā te Runga Rawa; e atawhai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e whakawhetai, i te hunga kino.36Kia ngāwari rāpea koutou, kia pērā me tō koutou Matua e ngāwari ana.
Te Whakawā i Ētahi atu
37“Kaua e whakawā, ā, e kore koutou e whakawākia; kaua e whakatau hē, e kore te hē, ā, e whakataua ki a koutou. Houhia te rongo, ā, e houhia anō te rongo ki a koutou.38Hoatu, ā, ka hōmai ki a koutou; he mēhua pai, pēhi rawa, oioi rawa, pūrena tonu tā rātou e hōmai ai ki te kokoru o ō koutou kākahu. Ko te mēhua hoki e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou.”39Ā, ka puaki tāna kupu whakarite ki a rātou: “E āhei rānei te matapō te ārahi i te matapō? E kore rānei e taka tahi rāua ki te poka?40E kore te ākonga e rahi ake i tōna kaiwhakaako; engari, ka rite anō ki ō rātou kaiwhakaako ngā tāngata katoa kua tino pūkengatia.41“He aha tāu e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē kite i te kurupae i tōu ake kanohi?42Ā, me pēhea e taea ai e koe te kōrero ki tōu teina, ‘E tōku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i roto i tōu kanohi,’ tē kite i te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi? E te tangata tinihanga, mātua kapea atu e koe te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi, kātahi koe ka mārama ai ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina.
He Rākau me āna Hua
43“E kore hoki te rākau ātaahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore anō te rākau kino e hua i te hua ātaahua.44Mā ōna hua tonu ka mōhiotia ai tēnei rākau, tēnei rākau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i ngā tātarāmoa, e kore anō e whakia he karepe i runga i te tūmatakuru.45He tangata pai, he pai tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i te taonga pai o tōna ngākau. He tangata kino, he kino tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i ngā taonga kino o tōna ngākau. He pūrenatanga hoki nō te ngākau ngā kupu a te māngai.
Ngā Kaihanga Whare Tokorua
46“He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ tē mahi i āku e kōrero ai?47Nā, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki āku kupu, ā, e mahi ana, māku e whakaatu ki a koutou tōna rite.48Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare, i keri, i whakahōhonu, ā, whakatakoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka. Ā, i te putanga o te waipuke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kīhai i taea te whakangāueue; nō te mea i ū tōna hanganga.49Tēnā ko te tangata i rongo, ā, kīhai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare ki runga ki te oneone, tē ai he tūranga; i te pākarutanga o te roma, nā, hinga tonu iho; ā, nui atu te pakaru o taua whare.”
