Te Whakawā i Ētahi atu
(Ruka 6.37-38, 41-42)
1 “Kaua e whakawā, kei whakawākia koutou. 2 Nā, ko te whakawākanga e whakawā ai koutou, koia anō hei whakawākanga mō koutou, ā, ko te mēhua e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou.
3 “Ā, he aha tāu e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē mahara ki te kurupae i roto i tōu? 4 Me pēhea rānei tāu kupu ki tōu teina, ‘Iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i tōu kanohi,’ ā, he kurupae anō tēnā kei roto i tōu? 5 E te tangata tinihanga! Mātua kapea e koe te kurupae i tōu kanohi, kātahi koe ka mārama ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina.
6 “Kaua e hoatu te mea tapu ki ngā kurī, kaua anō e makā ā koutou peara ki te aroaro o ngā poaka, kei takatakahia e ō rātou waewae, ā, ka tahuri, ka haehae i a koutou.”
Īnoia, Rapua, Pātōtō
(Ruka 11.9-13)
7 “Īnoia, ā, ka hoatu ki a koutou; rapua, ā, ka kitea e koutou; pātōtō, ā, ka uakina ki a koutou. 8 Ka whiwhi hoki te tangata ina īnoi, ka kite ina rapu; ka uakina hoki ki te tangata e pātōtō ana.
9 “Ko tēhea tangata ianei o koutou, ina īnoi tāna tama ki a ia he taro, e hoatu ki a ia he kōhatu? 10 Ā, īnoi rānei he ika, e hoatu ki a ia he nākahi? 11 Nā, ki te mātau koutou, te hunga kino, ki te hoatu mea papai ki ā koutou tamariki, tērā noa ake te hōmaitanga o ngā mea papai e tō koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e īnoi ana ki a ia.
12 “Nā, ko ngā mea katoa, e pai ai koutou kia meatia e ngā tāngata, ki a koutou, meatia hoki e koutou ki a rātou; ko tēnei hoki tā te ture me tā ngā poropiti.”
Te Kūwaha Whāiti
(Ruka 13.24)
13 “E tomo mā te kūwaha whāiti; he whārahi hoki te kūwaha, he whānui te ara, e tika ana ki te ngaromanga, ā, he tokomaha e haere ana rā reira. 14 He kūiti hoki te kūwaha, he kikī te ara e tika ana ki te ora, ā, he tokoiti te hunga e kite.”
He Rākau me āna Hua
(Ruka 6.43-44)
15 “Kia tūpato ki ngā poropiti teka e haere nei ki a koutou, he hipi te kākahu, ko roto ia he wuruhi kai kino. 16 Mā ō rātou hua ka mōhiotia ai rātou e koutou. E whakia rānei te karepe i runga i te tātarāmoa, te piki rānei i te tūmatakuru? 17 Waihoki he ātaahua ngā hua o te rākau pai, he kino ia ngā hua o te rākau kino. 18 E kore te rākau pai e āhei te hua i te hua kino, e kore anō te rākau kino e hua i te hua ātaahua. 19 Ko ngā rākau katoa e kore nei e hua i te hua ātaahua ka tuaina ki raro, ka makā ki te ahi. 20 Inā, mā ō rātou hua ka mōhiotia ai rātou e koutou.”
Kāhore Au i Mōhio ki a Koe
(Ruka 13.25-27)
21 “E kore e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ngā tāngata katoa e mea mai ana ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ engari, ia e mea ana i tā tōku Matua i te rangi i pai ai. 22 He tokomaha e mea mai ki ahau i taua rā, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki; kīhai koia mātou i poropiti i runga i tōu ingoa, i pei rēwera hoki i runga i tōu ingoa, he tini hoki ngā mahi nunui i meatia e mātou i runga i tōu ingoa?’ 23 Ko reira ahau mea ai ki a rātou, ‘Kāhore rawa ahau i mōhio ki a koutou; mawehe atu i ahau, e ngā kaimahi i te tutū.’ ”
Ngā Kaihanga Whare e Tokorua
(Ruka 6.47-49)
24 “Nā, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki ēnei kupu āku, e mahi ana hoki, ka whakaritea e ahau ki te tangata mahara, i hanga i tōna whare ki runga ki te kāmaka. 25 Ā, ka ua te ua, ka puta ngā waipuke, ka pupuhi ngā hau, te tino ākinga ki taua whare, kīhai hoki i hinga, nō te mea i hangā ki runga ki te kāmaka.
26 “Ā, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki ēnei kupu āku, ā, kāhore e mahi, ka whakaritea ki te tangata whakaarokore i hanga i tōna whare ki runga ki te onepū. 27 Nā, ka ua te ua, ka puta ngā waipuke, ka pupuhi ngā hau, ā, pā ana ki taua whare, nā, kua hinga. He rahi anō tōna hinganga!”
Te Mana o Īhu
28 Ā, nō ka mutu ēnei kōrero a Īhu, ka mīharo te whakaminenga ki tāna ako. 29 I rite hoki tāna ako i a rātou ki tā te tangata whai mana, kīhai hoki i rite ki tā ngā karaipi.
