Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama
(Matiu 21.1-11; Ruka 19.28-40; Hoani 12.12-19)
1 Ā, nō ka tata rātou ki Hiruhārama, ki Petapaki, ki Petani, ā, ka tae ki Maunga Ōriwa, tokorua āna ākonga i tonoa e ia, 2 ā, i mea ia ki a rāua, “Haere ki te kāinga e anga mai ana ki a kōrua; e tomo kau ki reira, ka kite kōrua i tētahi kūao e here ana, kāhore anō kia nohoia e te tangata; wetekina, ārahina mai. 3 Ā, ki te kī mai tētahi tangata ki a kōrua, ‘He aha tēnei ka meinga ai e kōrua?’ Ka mea atu, ‘E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia māna; nā, ka tukua tonutia mai ki konei.’ ”
4 Nā, haere ana rāua, ka kite i te kūao e here ana ki te kūwaha i waho i te ara, ā, wetekina ana e rāua. 5 Ā, ka mea ētahi o te hunga e tū ana i reira ki a rāua, “He aha tā kōrua e wewete nā i te kūao?”
6 Nā, ka kōrerotia e rāua ki a rātou tā Īhu i mea ai; ā, tukua ana rāua e rātou. 7 Ka ārahina te kūao ki a Īhu, nā, whārikitia ana ō rāua kākahu ki runga ki a ia; ā, noho ana ia i runga. 8 Nā, he tokomaha i whāriki i ō rātou kākahu ki te ara. Ko ētahi i kokoti i ngā manga o ngā rākau, whārikitia ana ki te ara. 9 Ko te hunga i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, i karanga, i mea, “Ohana! Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki! 10 Ka whakapaingia te rangatiratanga e haere mai ana, te rangatiratanga o tō tātou matua o Rāwiri! Ohana i runga rawa!”
11 Nā, ka tomo a Īhu ki Hiruhārama, ki roto hoki ki te temepara; ā, ka mutu tāna tirotiro i ngā mea katoa, ko te wā hoki o te ahiahi, ka haere rātou ko te tekau mā rua ki Petani.
Ka Kanga a Īhu i te Rākau Piki
(Matiu 21.18-19)
12 Nā, i te aonga ake, i a rātou kua puta i Petani, ka hiakai ia. 13 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tētahi piki i tawhiti, he rau ōna, ka haere ia, me kore e kitea tētahi mea i runga; ā, nō tōna taenga, kīhai i kitea e ia tētahi mea, he rau anake: ehara hoki i te wā o te piki. 14 Nā, ka oho a Īhu, ka mea ki taua rākau, “Kaua rawa te tangata e kai i tētahi hua ōu ake tonu atu.”
Me te whakarongo anō āna ākonga.
Ka Haere a Īhu ki te Temepara
(Matiu 21.12-17; Ruka 19.45-48; Hoani 2.13-22)
15 Ā, ka tae rātou ki Hiruhārama. Nā, ka tomo a Īhu ki te temepara, ka anga ki te pei ki waho i te hunga e hoko atu ana, e hoko mai ana i roto i te temepara, ā, whakatahuritia ake ngā tēpu o ngā kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me ngā nohoanga o ngā kaihoko kūkupa. 16 Ā, kīhai i tukua e ia kia mauria tētahi oko e te tangata rā te temepara. 17 Ā, i whakaako ia, i mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore koia i tuhituhia, ‘Ka kīa tōku whare he whare īnoi mō ngā tauiwi katoa’? Otiia, kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mō ngā kaipāhua.”
18 I rongo hoki ngā tohunga nui me ngā karaipi, ā, ka rapu ki te pēhea e whakangaromia ai ia. I mataku hoki rātou i a ia, nō te mea i mīharo te mano katoa ki tāna ako.
19 Ā, i ngā ahiahi ka haere ia ki waho o te pā.
Te Whakaakoranga mō te Rākau Piki
(Matiu 21.20-22)
20 Ā, i te ata i a rātou e haere ana, ka kite i te piki, kua maroke ake i ngā pakiaka. 21 Nā, ka mahara a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Kaiwhakaako, nā, te piki i kangā rā e koe, kua maroke.”
22 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia mau te whakapono ki te Atua. 23 He pono hoki tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te mea tētahi ki tēnei maunga, ‘Kia rangā atu koe, kia whakatakā ki te moana,’ e kore hoki e ruarua tōna ngākau, engari, ka whakapono ia tērā e puta mai ngā mea i kīa e ia; ka whiwhi ia ki tāna i mea ai. 24 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, ko ngā mea katoa e tono ai koutou ina īnoi, me whakapono ka riro mai i a koutou, ā, ka whiwhi koutou. 25 Ā, ka tū koutou, ka karakia, ki te mea he take riri tā koutou ki tētahi, murua; kia murua ai hoki ō koutou hē e tō koutou Matua i te rangi. 26 Nā, ki te kore koutou e muru, e kore anō tō koutou Matua i te rangi e muru i ō koutou hē.”
Te Take e Pā ana ki te Mana o Īhu
(Matiu 21.23-27; Ruka 20.1-8)
27 Nā, ka tae anō rātou ki Hiruhārama. Ā, i a ia e hāereere ana i te temepara, ka haere mai ki a ia ngā tohunga nui, me ngā karaipi, me ngā kaumātua 28 ka mea ki a ia, “Tēnā, te mana i meatia ai ēnei mea e koe? Nā wai hoki tēnei mana i hoatu ki a koe, i mea ai koe i ēnei mea?”
29 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Māku hoki e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, mā koutou e whakahoki mai ki ahau, kātahi, ka kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i ēnei mea. 30 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, nō te rangi, nō te tangata rānei? Kōrerotia mai ki ahau.”
31 Ā, ka kōrerorero rātou ki a rātou anō, ka mea, “Ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō te rangi’; ka mea ia, ‘Ha, he aha koutou tē whakapono ai ki a ia?’ 32 Ā, ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō te tangata.’ ” (Ka mataku rātou i te iwi; ki tā rātou katoa hoki he poropiti pono a Hoani.) 33 Nā, ka whakahoki rātou, ka mea ki a Īhu, “Kāhore mātou e mātau.”
Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “E kore anō e kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i ēnei mea.”
