Te Urupā Tahanga
(Matiu 28.1-8; Māka 16.1-8; Ruka 24.1-12)
1 I te rā tuatahi o te wiki ka haere a Meri Makarini ki te urupā i te atatū, i te mea e pōuri tonu ana, ā, ka kite i te kōhatu kua tangohia atu i te urupā. 2 Nā, ka oma ia, ka haere ki a Haimona Pita rāua ko tērā ākonga i aroha ai a Īhu, ka mea ki a rāua, “Kua tangohia e rātou te Ariki i te urupā, ā, kāhore mātou e mōhio ki te wāhi i waiho ai ia e rātou.”
3 Nā, ka puta atu a Pita, me taua ākonga, ka haere ki te urupā. 4 Ā, oma ngātahi ana rāua; otiia, i hohoro tērā ākonga i a Pita, ko ia anō kua tae wawe ki te urupā. 5 Nā, piko iho ana ia, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana; heoi, kīhai i tomo ki roto. 6 Nā, ka haere anō a Haimona Pita i muri i a ia, ā, ko tōna tomokanga ki te urupā, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana. 7 Me te tauera i takaia ai tōna mātenga, kīhai i takoto tahi me ngā tākai rīnena, he mea whakakopa ia ki tētahi wāhi i tahaki. 8 Kātahi, ka tomo tērā ākonga, i tae wawe nei ki te urupā, kite ana, whakapono ana. 9 (Kīanō hoki rātou i mōhio noa ki te karaipiture, kua takoto te tikanga kia ara ake ia i te hunga mate.) 10 Nā, hoki ana anō ngā ākonga ki tō rāua kāinga.
Ka Kitea a Īhu e Meri Makarini
(Matiu 28.9-10; Māka 16.9-11)
11 Ko Meri ia tū tonu i waho o te urupā tangi ai. Ā, i a ia e tangi ana, ka piko iho ki te urupā. 12 Ka kite i ngā anahera tokorua, he mā ngā kākahu, e noho ana, ko tētahi ki te mātenga, ko tētahi ki ngā waewae, i te wāhi i takoto ai te tinana o Īhu. 13 Ka mea rāua ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi?”
Ka mea ia ki a rāua, “Kua tangohia e rātou tōku Ariki, e kore hoki ahau e mātau ki te wāhi i whakatakotoria ai ia.”
14 Ka pēnei āna kōrero, ka tahuri whakamuri, ka kite i a Īhu e tū ana, otiia, kīhai i mōhio ko Īhu ia. 15 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi? Ko wai tāu e rapu?”
Hua noa ia ko te kaingaki kāri, nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a ia, “E mara, ki te mea kua mauria atu ia e koe, kōrerotia ki ahau te wāhi i whakatakotoria ai ia, ā, māku ia e tango atu.”
16 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E Meri!”
Ka tahuri atu tērā, ka mea ki a ia, “E Rāponi!” Ko te tikanga tēnei, “E te Kaiwhakaako.”
17 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Kei pā ki ahau; kīanō hoki ahau i kake noa ki tōku Matua. Engari, haere ki ōku tēina, ka mea atu ki a rātou, ‘Ka kake ahau ki tōku Matua, ki tō koutou Matua; ki tōku Atua, ki tō koutou Atua.’ ”
18 Haere ana a Meri Makarini, kōrero ana ki ngā ākonga, “Kua kite ia i te Ariki!” Kua kōrerotia hoki e ia ēnei mea ki a ia.
Ka Kitea a Īhu e Āna Ākonga
(Matiu 28.16-20; Māka 16.14-18; Ruka 24.36-49)
19 I taua rā tuatahi anō o te wiki, i te ahiahi, i ngā tatau e kati ana o te wāhi i huihui ai ngā ākonga i te wehi i ngā Hūrai, ka haere mai a Īhu, ka tū i waenganui, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou.” 20 Ā, ka puaki tēnei kupu āna, ka whakakitea e ia ōna ringa me tōna kaokao ki a rātou. Nā, hari tonu ngā ākonga, i tō rātou kitenga i te Ariki. 21 Ka mea anō a Īhu ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou. I tonoa mai ahau e te Matua, ka pērā anō tāku tono i a koutou.” 22 Ka kōrerotia tēnei e ia, ka whakahā ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a koutou. 23 Ki te whakarērea noatia e koutou ngā hara o ētahi, ka whakarērea o rātou; ki te whakamaua anō o ētahi e koutou, ka mau anō.”
Ko Īhu rāua ko Tamati
24 Ko Tamati ia, ko tētahi o te tekau mā rua, tētahi o ōna ingoa ko Ririmu, kāhore i a rātou i te taenga mai o Īhu. 25 Ā, ko te meatanga a ērā ākonga ki a ia, “Kua kite mātou i te Ariki!”
Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ki te kāhore ahau e kite i te ngaunga o ngā whao i ōna ringa, e kuhu i tōku matihao ki te ngaunga a ngā whao, e kuhu hoki i tōku ringa ki tōna kaokao, e kore ahau e whakapono.”
26 Ā, ka pahemo ngā rā e waru, nā, kei roto anō āna ākonga, rātou ko Tamati. Ka haere mai a Īhu i te mea e kati ana ngā tatau, ka tū ki waenganui, ka mea, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou.” 27 Kātahi ia ka mea ki a Tamati, “Totoro mai tōu matihao, kia kite hoki koe i ōku ringa. Totoro mai hoki tōu ringa, ka kuhu ki tōku kaokao. Aua e whakateka, engari, me whakapono.”
28 Nā, ka whakahoki a Tamati, ka mea ki a ia, “E tōku Ariki, e tōku Atua!”
29 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Nō tōu kitenga i ahau, i whakapono ai koe, e Tamati. Ka koa te hunga kāhore i kite, ā, kua whakapono.”
Te Tātai o tēnei Pukapuka
30 He maha anō ērā atu tohu i oti i a Īhu, i te aroaro o āna ākonga, kāhore nei i tuhituhia ki tēnei pukapuka. 31 Otiia, kua tuhituhia ēnei, kia whakapono ai koutou ko te Karaiti a Īhu, ko te Tama a te Atua; kia whiwhi ai hoki ki te ora i runga i tōna ingoa, ina whakapono.
