Ka Whakawahia a Īhu i Petani
1Nā, e ono ngā rā i mua ake o te Kapenga ka haere a Īhu ki Petani, kei reira nei a Raharuhi, i whakaarahia ake nei e ia i te hunga mate.2Ā, takā ana e rātou he hapa māna i reira; ko Māta te kaitaka, ko Raharuhi tētahi o te hunga i noho tahi me ia.3Nā, ka mau a Meri ki tētahi pāuna hinu kakara he tino nara, he mea utu nui, whakawahia ana e ia ngā waewae o Īhu, me te muru anō i ōna waewae ki ōna makawe; kī noa te whare i te kakara o te hinu.4Nā, ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga, a Hūrā Ikariote, tēnei meāke nei tuku a ia,5“He aha tēnei hinu tē hokona ai ki ngā pene e toru rau, ka hoatu ai ki te hunga rawakore?”6I kōrerotia ai tēnei e ia, ehara i te mea he whakaaro nōna ki te hunga rawakore; erangi, nō te mea he tāhae ia, i a ia hoki te pūtea, ko ia hoki hei mau i ngā mea i whaongia ki roto.7Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu, “Waiho rā ū āna; i tohungia tēnei e ia mō te rā o tōku tanumanga.8Kei a koutou hoki ngā rawakore i ngā wā katoa; ko ahau ia e kore e noho tonu i a koutou.”He Whakangārahu ki a Raharuhi
9He tokomaha o ngā Hūrai i mātau kei reira a Īhu; ā, haere mai ana, ehara i te mea mō Īhu anake, erangi, kia kite hoki i a Raharuhi, i whakaarahia nei e ia i te hunga mate.10Otirā, kua takoto te whakaaro o ngā tohunga nui kia whakamatea anō a Raharuhi;11nāna hoki i tokomaha ai ngā Hūrai i haere, i whakapono ki a Īhu.Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama
12I te aonga ake ka rongo te mano tini i haere nei ki te hākari, e haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama.13Ka mau rātou ki ngā manga nīkau, haere ana ki te whakatau i a ia, me te karanga,“Ohana!Ka whakapaingia ia, e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoao te Ariki, te Kīngi o Īharaira!”14Ā, nō ka kite a Īhu i tētahi kūao kāihe, ka noho ia i runga; ka pērā anō me te mea i tuhituhia,15“Kaua e mataku, e te tamāhine a Hiona.Nā, kei te haere mai tōu Kīngi,e noho ana i runga i te kūao kāihe.”16Otiia, kīhai āna ākonga i mātau wawe ki ēnei mea; engari, ka oti a Īhu te whakakorōria, kātahi rātou ka mahara kua tuhituhia ēnei mea mōna, kua meinga anō ēnei mea ki a ia.17I whakaae anō te hunga i tōna taha i tāna karangatanga i a Raharuhi i roto i te urupā, i tāna whakaarahanga hoki i a ia i te hunga mate.18Nā konei hoki te mano i whakatau ai i a ia, i rongo hoki rātou, kua meinga tēnei merekara e ia.19Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a rātou anō, “Ka kite rānei koutou kāhore ā koutou wāhi? Nā, kua riro te ao ki te whai i a ia.”
Ka Kimi ētahi Kariki ki a Īhu
20Nā, he Kariki ētahi o te hunga i haere ki te hākari ki te karakia.21Ā, haere ana ēnei ki a Piripi o Petahaira o Karirī, kōrero ana ki a ia, mea atu ana, “E kara, e hiahia ana mātou kia kite i a Īhu.”22Haere ana a Piripi, ka kōrero ki a Anaru; ka haere a Anaru, a Piripi, ka kōrero ki a Īhu.23Ka kī a Īhu ki a rāua, ka mea, “Kua tae mai te hāora e whakakorōriatia ai te Tama a te tangata.24He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kore tētahi pata wīti e marere ki te oneone, e pirau, ka takoto ko ia anake; tēnā ki te pirau, he nui ōna hua.25Ki te aroha tētahi ki tōna ora, ka mate anō ia; ki te kino tētahi ki te ora i tēnei ao, ka tūturu ki a ia te ora ake ake.26Ki te mea tētahi ko ia hei kaimahi māku, me aru ia i ahau; ko te wāhi e noho ai ahau, ko reira anō tāku kaimahi. Ki te mahi tētahi i āku mahi, mā tōku Matua ia e whakahōnore.”Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō Tōna Matenga
27“Kua pōuri tēnei tōku wairua; ā, kia pēhea atu ahau? E Pā, whakaorangia ahau i tēnei wā. Otirā, ko te mea tēnei i haere mai ai ahau ki tēnei wā.28E Pā, whakakorōriatia tōu ingoa.”Nā, ka puta he reo i te rangi, “Kua whakakorōriatia e ahau, e whakakorōriatia anō.”29I te rongonga o ngā tāngata e tū ana i reira, ka mea, “He whatitiri.” Ko ētahi i mea, “Kua kōrero tētahi anahera ki a ia.”30Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, “Ehara tēnei reo i puta mai nei i te mea mōku, engari mō koutou.31Ko āianei te whakawā mō tēnei ao; ko āianei makā ai te rangatira o tēnei ao ki waho.32Ā, ki te whakairihia ake ahau ki runga ake i te whenua, māku ngā tāngata katoa e kukume ki ahau.”33(I pēnei ai ia hei whakaatu i te mate e mate ai ia.)34Ka whakahokia e te mano ki a ia, “Kua rongo mātou ki tā te ture, e ora tonu ana a te Karaiti. He aha tāu e mea, ‘Me whakairi te Tama a te tangata?’ Ko wai koia tēnei Tama a te tangata?”35Anō rā, ko Īhu ki a rātou, “He wāhi iti nei te maunga o te mārama i roto i a koutou. Haere rā i te mea e whai mārama ana koutou, kei rokohina koutou e te pōuri. Ko ia hoki e haere ana i te pōuri e kore e kite i te wāhi e haere ai ia.36I te mea kei a koutou te mārama, me whakapono ki te mārama, kia meinga ai koutou he tamariki nā te mārama.” Te Whakapono kore o ngā Tāngata
I kōrerotia e Īhu ēnei mea, ā, haere ana, huna ana i a ia, kei kitea e rātou.37Heoi, ahakoa i meatia e ia aua merekara maha ki tō rātou aroaro, kīhai rātou i whakapono ki a ia.38I rite ai te kōrero a Ihāia poropiti, tāna i mea ai:“E te Ariki, ko wai i whakapono ki tā mātou kōrero?I whakakitea hoki ki a wai te ringa o te Ariki?”39Koia hoki rātou tē āhei ai te whakapono, kua mea nei hoki a Ihāia,40“I whakamatapōtia e ia ō rātou kanohi,i whakapakeketia ō rātou ngākau;kei kite ō rātou kanohi,kei mātau hoki ō rātou ngākau,kei tahuri rātou, ā,ka whakaorangia e ahau.”41I kōrerotia ēnei mea e Ihāia, i te wā i kite ai ia i tōna korōria, i puaki ai hoki tāna kupu mōna.42He ahakoa rā he tokomaha anō ngā rangatira i whakapono ki a ia. Otirā, kīhai i whakaae ki a ia, he whakaaro hoki ki ngā Parihi, kei peia rātou ki waho o te whare karakia;43rawe ake hoki ki a rātou tā te tangata korōria i tā te Atua.
