Ka Tonoa e Īhu ngā Ākonga Tekau mā rua
(Matiu 10.5-15; Māka 6.7-13)
1 Nā, ka karangatia e ia te tekau mā rua, ka hoatu ki a rātou he kaha, he mana, e peia ai ngā rēwera katoa, e ora ai ngā mate. 2 Ā, tonoa ana rātou e ia ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te whakaora hoki i te hunga e mate ana. 3 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, “Kaua tētahi mea e mauria ki te ara, kaua he tokotoko, kaua he pūtea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni; kaua anō e takiruatia he koti. 4 Ā, ka tomo koutou ki tētahi whare, hei reira noho ai, ā, haere noa i reira. 5 Ā, ki te kāhore ētahi e manako ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i taua pā, ruia atu te puehu o ō koutou waewae, hei mea whakaatu ki a rātou.”
6 Nā, ko tō rātou mawehetanga atu, ka hāereerea e rātou ngā kāinga, me te kauwhau i te rongopai, me te whakaora i ngā wāhi katoa.
Te Pororaru o Herora
(Matiu 14.1-12; Māka 6.14-29)
7 Ā, ka rongo a Herora tetaraki i ngā mea katoa i meinga e ia; ā, he nui tōna pororaru, nō te mea ki tā ētahi kī, kua ara mai a Hoani i te hunga mate. 8 Ki tā ētahi, kua puta mai a Irāia; ki tā ētahi, kua ara mai tētahi o ngā poropiti onamata. 9 Nā, ka mea a Herora, “I pōutoa e ahau te mātenga o Hoani; ko wai hoki tēnei mōna nei ēnei kōrero ka rangona nei e ahau?” Ā, ka whai ia kia kite i a ia.
Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Rima Mano
(Matiu 14.13-21; Māka 6.30-44; Hoani 6.1-14)
10 Ā, nō te hokinga mai o ngā āpōtoro, ka kōrerotia ki a ia ngā mea katoa i mea ai rātou. Ā, ka tango ia i a rātou, ka haere ko rātou anake ki tētahi pā, ko Petahaira te ingoa. 11 Otirā, i te kitenga o ngā mano, ka aru i a ia; ā, ka manaaki ia i a rātou, ka kōrerotia ki a rātou te rangatiratanga o te Atua, whakaorangia ana hoki e ia te hunga e mea ana kia rongoātia.
12 Nā, kua tītaha haere te rā; ā, ka haere mai te tekau mā rua, ka mea ki a ia, “Tonoa te mano, kia haere ai ki ngā kāinga, ki ngā whenua i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, moe ai, ki te mea kai hoki mā rātou; he wāhi koraha hoki tēnei i a tātou nei.”
13 Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Mā koutou e hoatu he kai mā rātou.”
Ka mea rātou, “Heoi anō a mātou e rima ngā taro, e rua ngā ika; ki te kāhore anō ia mātou e haere ki te hoko kai mā tēnei iwi katoa.” 14 (Me te mea anō, e rima mano ngā tāne.)
Ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, “Meinga rātou kia noho, kia rima tekau ki te nohoanga.”
15 Ā, pērā ana rātou, meinga katoatia ana kia noho. 16 Nā, ka mau ia ki ngā taro e rima, ki ngā ika e rua, ka titiro ake ki te rangi, ka whakapai i aua mea, ka whawhati, ka hoatu ki ngā ākonga kia whakatakotoria atu mā te mano. 17 Nā, ka kai rātou, ka mākona katoa; ā, kotahi tekau mā rua ngā kete i kohia ake e rātou, he toenga nā rātou nō ngā whatiwhatinga.
Te Pānuitanga a Pita mō Īhu
(Matiu 16.13-19; Māka 8.27-29)
18 Ā, i a ia e īnoi ana ko ia anake, i a ia anō āna ākonga; nā, ka ui ia ki a rātou, ka mea, “Ko wai ahau ki te kī a te mano?”
19 Nā, ka whakahoki rātou, ka mea, “Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri, ki tā ētahi ia; ko Irāia, ki tā ētahi; kua ara mai tētahi o ngā poropiti onamata.”
20 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ki tā koutou nā kī, ko wai ahau?”
Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea, “Ko te Karaiti a te Atua.”
Ka Kōrero a Īhu mō Tōna Mamaetanga me Tōna Matenga
(Matiu 16.20-28; Māka 8.30–9.1)
21 Kātahi ia ka whakatūpato i a rātou, ka mea, “Kia kaua tēnei e kōrerotia ki te tangata.” 22 I mea anō ia, “Kua takoto te tikanga kia maha ngā mamae o te Tama a te tangata, kia whakakāhoretia anō ia e ngā kaumātua, e ngā tohunga nui, e ngā karaipi, kia whakamatea, ā, i te toru o ngā rā ka whakaarahia.”
23 I mea anō ia ki a rātou katoa, “Ki te mea tētahi kia haere mai i muri i ahau, me whakakāhore ia e ia anō, me amo tōna rīpeka i ngā rā katoa, ka aru ai i ahau. 24 Ki te whai hoki tētahi kia ora, ka mate ia; otirā, ki te mate tētahi, mōna i whakaaro ki ahau, ka ora ia. 25 He aha oti te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, ā, ka ngaro ko ia anō, ka riro rānei i te hē? 26 Ki te whakamā hoki tētahi ki ahau, ā, ki āku kōrero, ka whakamā anō te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai ia i runga i tōna ake korōria, i te korōria hoki o te Matua, o ngā anahera tapu. 27 Nā, he pono tāku kōrero ki a koutou, tēnei anō ētahi o te hunga e tū nei e kore e pāngia e te mate, kia kite rā anō i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.”
Te Whakaahua Kētanga
(Matiu 17.1-8; Māka 9.2-8)
28 Ā, ka tata ki te waru o ngā rā i muri i ēnei kōrero, ka mau ia ki a Pita, ki a Hoani, ki a Hēmi, ka haere ki runga ki te maunga ki te īnoi. 29 Ā, i a ia e īnoi ana, ka puta kē te āhua o tōna mata, mā tonu tōna kākahu, kanapa tonu. 30 Nā, tokorua ngā tāngata e kōrero tahi ana me ia, ko Mohi rāua ko Irāia, 31 i puta korōria mai, i kōrero anō ki tōna matenga meāke nei rite i a ia ki Hiruhārama. 32 I pēhia hoki a Pita rātou ko ōna hoa e te moe; ā, i tō rātou aranga ake, ka kite i tōna korōria, me ngā tāngata tokorua e tū tahi ana me ia. 33 Ā, i a rāua e mawehe atu ana i a ia, ka mea a Pita ki a Īhu, “E kara, he pai kia noho tātou i konei; nā, kia hangā e mātou ētahi wharau kia toru; kia kotahi mōu, kia kotahi mō Mohi, kia kotahi mō Irāia.” (Kīhai ia i mōhio ki tāna i kōrero ai.)
34 Ā, i a ia e kōrero ana i ēnei mea, ka puta he kapua, ā, taumaru iho ana ki a rātou; ā, mataku ana rātou i tō rātou haerenga ki roto ki te kapua. 35 Nā, ka puta mai he reo i te kapua e mea ana, “Ko tāku Tama tēnei, ko tāku i whiriwhiri ai; whakarongo ki a ia!”
36 Ā, nō te putanga o te reo, ko Īhu anake i kitea. Ā, whakarongo puku ana rātou, kīhai hoki i kōrerotia e rātou ki te tangata i aua rā tētahi o ngā mea i kite ai rātou.
Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Tama he Wairua Poke Tōna
(Matiu 17.14-18; Māka 9.14-27)
37 Nā, i te aonga ake o te rā, i a rātou kua tatū iho i runga i te maunga, he rahi te hui i tūtaki ki a ia. 38 Nā, ka karanga tētahi tangata i roto i te mano, ka mea, “Tēnā koa, e te Kaiwhakaako, titiro mai ki tāku tama; ko ia anake hoki tāku. 39 Nā, ka hopu te wairua i a ia, inamata ka hāmama. Nā, ka haehae i a ia, tutū ana te huka i a ia. Whakauaua ana te whakarere i a ia, ā, marū iho ia. 40 Ā, i te īnoi ahau ki āu ākonga kia peia ia ki waho; heoi, kīhai i taea e rātou.”
41 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, “E te uri whakapono kore, parori kē, kia pēhea te roa o tōku noho ki a koutou, o tōku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai tāu tama ki konei.”
42 Nā, i a ia e haere mai ana, ka tāia iho ia e te rēwera, haehaea iho. Nā, ka rīria te wairua poke e Īhu, ā, whakaorangia ana te tamaiti, hoatu ana ki tōna pāpā. 43 Oho mauri katoa ana rātou ki te nui o te Atua.
Ka Kōrero anō a Īhu mō Tōna Matenga
(Matiu 17.22-23; Māka 9.30-32)
Ā, i a rātou e mīharo ana ki ngā mea katoa i meinga e Īhu, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, 44 “Rongoātia ēnei kōrero ki roto ki ō koutou taringa; meāke hoki tukua te Tama a te tangata ki ngā ringa o ngā tāngata.” 45 Otirā, kīhai rātou i mōhio ki tēnei kupu, he mea huna hoki i a rātou, kei kite rātou; i mataku hoki rātou ki te ui ki a ia i taua kupu.
Ko Wai te Nui Rawa
(Matiu 18.1-5; Māka 9.33-37)
46 Nā, ka puta ake he kōrerorero i roto i a rātou, ko wai o rātou te mea nui rawa. 47 Otirā, i te kitenga o Īhu i te whakaaroaronga a ō rātou ngākau, ka mau ia ki tētahi tamaiti nohinohi, ā, whakatūria ana ki tōna taha, 48 ka mea ki a rātou, “Ki te manako tētahi ki tēnei tamaiti, nā te whakaaro hoki ki tōku ingoa, e manako ana ia ki ahau. Ki te manako hoki tētahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki tōku kaitono mai. Nā, ko te iti rawa i roto i a koutou katoa ko ia hei mea nui.”
Ko ia ehara i te Hoa Whawhai, nō Koutou ia
(Māka 9.38-40)
49 Nā, ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea, “E kara, i kite mātou i tētahi e pei rēwera ana i runga i tōu ingoa; ā, rīria iho e mātou, mōna kāhore e haere tahi tātou.”
50 Otirā, i mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Kaua e rīria; ki te mea hoki ehara tētahi i te hoa whawhai nō koutou, nō koutou ia.”
Kīhai i Manakohia a Īhu e tētahi Kāinga Hamari
51 Ā, nō ka tata ngā rā mō tōna tangohanga ki runga, ka whakamau tōna kanohi ki te haere ki Hiruhārama, 52 Ā, ka tonoa atu e ia he karere i mua i tōna aroaro; ā, ka haere rātou, ka tomo ki tētahi kāinga o ngā Hamari ki te mea tukunga iho mōna. 53 Heoi, kīhai ērā i manako ki a ia, ko te āhua hoki o tōna kanohi me te mea e haere ana ia ki Hiruhārama. 54 Ā, nō te kitenga o āna ākonga, o Hēmi rāua ko Hoani, ka mea rāua, “E te Ariki, e pai ana rānei koe kia kōrerotia e māua he kāpura kia heke iho i te rangi, hei whakangaro i a rātou?”
55 Otirā, ka tahuri ia, ka rīria rāua, “Kāhore kōrua e mātau nō tēhea wairua kōrua. 56 Kīhai hoki te Tama a te tangata i haere mai ki te whakamate tangata, engari ki te whakaora.” Nā, haere ana rātou he kāinga kē.
Te Hunga e Hia-Whai i a Īhu
(Matiu 8.19-22)
57 Ā, i a rātou e haere ana i te ara, ka mea tētahi tangata ki a ia, “Ka aru ahau i a koe ki ngā wāhi katoa e haere ai koe.”
58 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a ia, “He rua o ngā pokiha, he kōhanga o ngā manu o te rangi; tēnā ko te Tama a te tangata hore ōna wāhi e takoto ai tōna mātenga.”
59 Ka mea ia ki tētahi atu, “Arumia mai ahau.”
Ā, ka mea ia, “E te Ariki, tukua ahau kia mātua haere ki te tanu i tōku pāpā.”
60 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Waiho mā ngā tūpāpaku e tanu ō rātou nā tūpāpaku. Ko koe ia me haere ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.”
61 Ka mea hoki tētahi atu, “E te Ariki, ka aru ahau i a koe; otirā, tukua ahau kia mātua poroporoaki ki te hunga i tōku whare.”
62 Otirā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te pā te ringa o tētahi ki te parau, ā, ka titiro ki muri, e kore ia e tau mō te rangatiratanga o te Atua.”
