Ko Īhu te Wāina Pono
1 “Ko ahau te wāina pono, ko tōku Matua te kaimahi. 2 Ko ngā manga katoa i roto i ahau e kore e whai hua, e tangohia e ia. Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e whai hua ana, ka whakapaia e ia, kia maha atu ai ōna hua. 3 Nā, kua mā tēnei koutou i te kupu i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou. 4 Kia ū koutou ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a koutou. Ka rite hoki ki te manga e kore e whai hua ko ia anake, ki te kāhore e ū ki te wāina; e kore anō hoki koutou, ki te kore e ū ki roto ki ahau.
5 “Ko ahau te wāina, ko koutou ngā manga. Ki te ū tētahi ki roto ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki roto ki a ia, ka maha o tērā hua; ki te motu kē hoki i ahau, e kore tētahi mea e taea e koutou. 6 Ki te kore e ū tētahi ki roto ki ahau, ka makā atu ia, ānō he manga, ā, ka maroke; nā, ka kohikohia, ka makā ki te kāpura, ka tahuna. 7 Ki te ū koutou ki roto ki ahau, ki te ū anō āku kupu ki roto ki a koutou, īnoia e koutou tā koutou e pai ai, ā, ka meatia mā koutou. 8 Ka whakakorōriatia tōku Matua ki te pēnei, ki te whai hua maha koutou, ā, ka meinga koutou he ākonga nāku.
9 “Rite tonu ki tō te Matua aroha ki ahau tōku aroha ki a koutou; kia ū ki tōku aroha. 10 Ki te pupuri koutou i āku ture, ka ū koutou ki tōku aroha; me ahau hoki kua pupuri nei i ngā ture a tōku Matua, ka ū nei ki tōna aroha. 11 Kua kōrerotia ēnei mea e ahau ki a koutou, kia pūmau ai tōku koa i roto i a koutou, kia tino kī ai tō koutou koa. 12 Ko tāku ture tēnei, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi, me ahau hoki kua aroha nei ki a koutou. 13 Kāhore he aroha o tētahi i rahi ake i tēnei, arā, kia tuku te tangata i a ia anō kia mate mō ōna hoa. 14 Ko koutou ōku hoa, ki te meatia e koutou āku e whakahau nei ki a koutou. 15 Heoi anō tāku meatanga he pononga koutou; e kore hoki te pononga e mōhio ki tā tōna ariki e mea ai; engari, kua oti koutou te hua e ahau he hoa; ko āku mea katoa hoki i rongo ai ahau ki tōku Matua, kua oti te whakakite e ahau ki a koutou. 16 Kāhore koutou i whiriwhiri i ahau, engari, nāku koutou i whiriwhiri, nāku anō koutou i mea kia haere, kia whai hua, kia mau tonu hoki ō koutou hua; ā, ko tā koutou e īnoi ai ki te Matua i runga i tōku ingoa, ka hoatu e ia ki a koutou. 17 Ko āku whakahau ēnei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi.”
Ko te Kino o te Ao
18 “Ki te mea e kinongia ana koutou e te ao, e mōhio ana koutou i kinongia ahau i mua i a koutou. 19 Mehemea nō te ao koutou, e arohaina e te ao ōna. Tēnā ko tēnei, ehara nei koutou i te ao, nāku koutou i whiriwhiri i roto i te ao, koia te ao ka kino ai ki a koutou. 20 Kia mahara ki te kupu i kōrero ai ahau ki a koutou, kāhore te pononga e rahi ake i tōna ariki. Ki te mea i whakatoia ahau e rātou, ka whakatoia anō koutou; ki te mea i pupuri rātou i tāku kupu, ka pupuri anō rātou i tā koutou. 21 Otirā, e meatia katoatia ēnei mea e rātou ki a koutou he whakaaro ki tōku ingoa, nō te mea kāhore rātou i mōhio ki tōku kaitono mai. 22 Me i kaua ahau te haere mai, te kōrero ki a rātou, pēnei kāhore ō rātou hara. Tēnā ko tēnei, kāhore ō rātou whakaoraora mō tō rātou hara. 23 Ko te tangata e whakakino ana ki ahau, e whakakino ana hoki ki tōku Matua. 24 Me i kaua te mahia e ahau i roto i a rātou ngā mahi kāhore i mahia e tētahi atu, pēnei kāhore ō rātou hara. Tēnā ko tēnei, kua kite rātou, kua whakakino anō hoki ki a māua tahi ko tōku Matua. 25 Mā tēnei ia ka rite ai te kupu i tuhituhia ki tā rātou ture, ‘Kua kino noa rātou ki ahau.’
26 “Otiia, ka tae mai te Kaiwhakamārie e tonoa mai e ahau ki a koutou i te Matua, te Wairua o te pono, e puta mai ana i te Matua, ko ia hei kaiwhakaatu mōku: 27 ko koutou anō hoki hei kaiwhakaatu, nō te mea i ahau koutou nō te tīmatanga iho rā anō.”
