Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Rima Mano
(Matiu 14.13-21; Māka 6.30-44; Ruka 9.10-17)
1 Muri iho i ēnei mea ka whiti atu a Īhu i te moana o Kariri, (arā, i te moana o Taipiria.) 2 Ā, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia, i kite hoki rātou i āna merekara i mea ai ia ki ngā tūroro. 3 Nā, ka haere a Īhu ki runga i te maunga, ā, noho ana i reira rātou ko āna ākonga. 4 Kua tata hoki te Kapenga, te hākari a ngā Hūrai. 5 Ā, nō te marangatanga ake o ngā kanohi o Īhu, ka kite i te rahi o te hui e haere mai ana ki a ia; ka mea ia ki a Piripi, “Ko hea tātou hoko ai i ētahi taro, kia kai ai ēnei?” 6 I pēnei ai tāna kī hei whakamātau mōna; i mōhio hoki ia ki tāna e mea ai.
7 Ka mea a Piripi ki a ia, “E kore e ranea mā rātou ngā taro o ngā pene e rua rau, kia whiwhi ai tēnei, tēnei o rātou i tētahi wāhi iti.”
8 Ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga ki a ia, a Anaru, teina o Haimona Pita, 9 “He tamaiti tēnei, e rima āna taro pāre, e rua ika nonohi. Heoi, hei aha ēnei mā tēnei ope nui?”
10 Nā, ka mea a Īhu, “Meinga ngā tāngata kia noho.” (He nui hoki te tarutaru i taua wāhi.) Nā, noho ana ngā tāne ki raro, te tokomaha me te mea e rima mano. 11 Nā, ka mau a Īhu ki ngā taro; ā, ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka tuwha atu ki te hunga e noho rā; me ngā ika anō, tā rātou i pai ai. 12 Ā, nō ka mākona rātou, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, “Kohikohia ngā toenga o ngā whatiwhatinga, kei maumauria tētahi wāhi.” 13 Nā, kohikohia ana e rātou, ā, whakakīa ana ngā kete tekau mā rua ki ngā whatiwhatinga o ngā taro pāre e rima, ki ngā toenga a ngā tāngata i kai rā.
14 Ā, i te kitenga o aua tāngata i te merekara i meatia e Īhu, ka kī rātou, “Ko ia anō tēnei, ko te poropiti e haere mai ana ki te ao.” 15 Nā, ka mahara a Īhu, meāke rātou haere mai ki te tango i a ia, ki te whakakīngi i a ia, nā, maunu ana anō ia ki te maunga, ko ia anake.
Ka Haere a Īhu i runga i te Moana
(Matiu 14.22-33; Māka 6.45-52)
16 Ā, nō ka ahiahi, ka haere āna ākonga ki te moana. 17 Nā, ka eke rātou ki te kaipuke, ka whakawhiti ki tāwāhi o te moana, ki Kaperenauma. Ā, kua pōuri noa ake, kāhore anō a Īhu kia tae noa mai ki a rātou. 18 Nā, ko te tūranga o te moana, he nui hoki nō te pūhanga o te hau. 19 Nā, i tō rātou hoenga atu, e rua tekau mā rima, e toru tekau rānei pāronga, ka kite i a Īhu e haere māori ana i runga i te moana, e whakatata ana ki te kaipuke; nā ka mataku rātou. 20 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ko ahau tēnei, aua e wehi.” 21 Nā, ka mea rātou kia eke ia ki te kaipuke; ā, kīhai i aha kua ū te kaipuke ki te wāhi i hoe ai rātou.
Ka Kimi ngā Tāngata i a Īhu
22 I te aonga ake, ka mahara te mano e tū ana ki tērā taha o te moana, kāhore he poti kē atu o reira, ko tērā anake i eke ai āna ākonga, kīhai hoki a Īhu i eke tahi rātou ko āna ākonga ki te poti, engari, ko āna ākonga anake i haere. 23 He poti kē rā ia i ū mai i Taipiria ki pahaki atu o te wāhi i kai ai rātou i te taro i tā te Ariki whakawhetainga. 24 Ā, i te kitenga o te mano kāhore a Īhu i reira, kāhore anō hoki āna ākonga, ka eke hoki rātou ki ngā kaipuke, ka rere ki Kaperenauma ki te rapu i a Īhu.
Ko Īhu, te Taro o te Ora
25 Ā, nō tō rātou kitenga i a ia i tāwāhi o te moana, ka mea ki a ia, “E Rapi, nōnahea koe i tae mai ai ki konei?”
26 Ka whakahoki a Īhu ki a rātou, ka mea, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ehara i te mea he kitenga nō koutou i ngā merekara i rapu ai koutou i ahau, engari, nō te mea i kai koutou i ngā taro, ā, ka mākona. 27 Aua e mahia te kai memeha, engari, te kai e mau tonu ana ā te ora tonu rā anō, ko tā te Tama hoki a te tangata e hoatu ai ki a koutou. Kua oti hoki ia te whai tohu e te Atua, e te Matua.”
28 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Me aha mātou e mahi ai i ngā mahi a te Atua?”
29 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko tā te Atua mahi tēnei, kia whakapono koutou ki tāna i tono mai ai.”
30 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Ko tēhea tohu te meatia ana e koe kia kite ai mātou, kia whakapono ai ki a koe? Tēnā koa tāu mahi? 31 I kai ō tātou mātua i te mana i te koraha; ko te mea hoki tēnā i tuhituhia, ‘I hōmai e ia he taro i te rangi hei kai mā rātou.’ ”
32 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ehara i a Mohi nāna i hoatu tēnā taro ki a koutou i te rangi. Engari, tēnei te hoatu nei e tōku Matua ki a koutou te taro pono o te rangi. 33 Ko te taro hoki a te Atua ko ia e heke iho ana i te rangi, e hōmai ana i te ora ki te ao.”
34 Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “E te Ariki, hōmai tēnei taro ki a mātou i ngā wā katoa.”
35 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Ko ahau te taro o te ora. Ki te haere mai tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e hiakai; ki te whakapono hoki tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e matewai. 36 Otirā, i mea anō ahau ki a koutou, kua kite koutou i ahau, ā, kāhore i whakapono. 37 Ko ā te Matua e hōmai ai ki ahau ka haere katoa mai ki ahau; ā, ki te haere mai tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa e pangā e ahau ki waho, 38 i heke iho hoki ahau i te rangi, ehara i te mea hei mahi i tāku i pai ai, engari, i tā tōku kaitono mai i pai ai. 39 Ko tā te Matua i pai ai, nāna nei ahau i tono mai, koia tēnei, kia kaua e ngaro i ahau tētahi wāhi o ngā mea katoa i hōmai e ia ki ahau; engari, kia whakaarahia ake e ahau ā te rā whakamutunga. 40 Ko tā tōku Matua hoki tēnei i pai ai, ko te tangata e kite ana i te Tama, e whakapono ana anō ki a ia, kia whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu; māku anō ia e whakaara ake ā te rā whakamutunga.”
41 Nā, ka kōrero kōmuhumuhu ngā Hūrai ki a ia, mōna i mea, “Ko ahau te taro i heke iho i te rangi.” 42 Ka mea rātou, “Ehara oti tēnei i a Īhu, tama a Hōhepa, e mōhio nei tātou ki tōna pāpā rāua ko tōna whaea? Ha! He pēhea tāna e kī nei, ‘I heke iho ahau i te rangi?’ ”
43 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kāti te kōmuhumuhu i roto i a koutou. 44 Kāhore he tangata e āhei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kāhore ia e kūmea mai e te Matua, nāna nei ahau i tono mai. Ā, māku anō ia e whakaara ake ā te rā whakamutunga. 45 Kua oti te tuhituhi i roto i ngā poropiti, ‘Ā, ka whakaakona rātou katoa e te Atua.’ Nā, ko te tangata kua rongo ki te Matua, kua ākona hoki, ka haere mai ki ahau. 46 Ehara i te mea kua kite tētahi i te Matua; ko ia anake i puta mai i te Atua, ko ia kua kite i te Matua. 47 He pono, he pono tāku, e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te whakapono tētahi, he ora tonu tōna. 48 Ko ahau te taro o te ora. 49 I kai rā ō koutou mātua i te mana i te koraha, ā, i mate rātou. 50 Ko te taro tēnei e heke iho ana i te rangi, kia kai ai te tangata i a ia, ā, kia kaua e mate. 51 Ko ahau te taro ora i heke iho i te rangi; ki te kai tētahi i tēnei taro, e ora tonu ia. Āe rā, ko te taro e hoatu e ahau ko ōku kikokiko, e hoatu e ahau hei oranga mō te ao.”
52 Nā, ka totohe ngā Hūrai tētahi ki tētahi, ka mea, “Me pēhea e hōmai ai e tēnei tangata ōna kikokiko kia kainga e tātou?”
53 Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kāhore koutou e kai i ngā kikokiko o te Tama a te tangata, e inu i ōna toto, kāhore he ora i roto i a koutou ake. 54 Ko ia e kai ana i ōku kikokiko, e inu ana i ōku toto, he ora tonu tōna; ā, māku ia e whakaara ake ā te rā whakamutunga. 55 He kai pono hoki ōku kikokiko, he mea pono ōku toto hei inumanga. 56 Ko ia e kai ana i ōku kikokiko, e inu ana i ōku toto, e noho ana i roto i ahau, me ahau hoki i roto i a ia. 57 Nā, te Matua ora hoki ahau i tono mai, nō te Matua anō tōku ora; waihoki ki te kai tētahi i ahau, kei ahau he ora mōna. 58 Ko te taro tēnei i heke iho i te rangi. E kore e pērā i tā ō koutou mātua i kai rā, ā, mate ana. Ki te kai tētahi i tēnei taro, e ora tonu ia.”
59 I kōrerotia ēnei mea e ia i roto i te whare karakia, i a ia e whakaako ana i Kaperenauma.
Ngā Kupu o te Ora Mutungakore
60 Nā, he tokomaha āna ākonga i te rongonga, i mea, “He kupu pakeke tēnei; ko wai e āhei te whakarongo atu?”
61 Ka mōhio ia a Īhu i roto i a ia, e kōmuhumuhu ana āna ākonga ki tēnei, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “E hē ana koutou ki tēnei? 62 Ka pēhea rā ki te kite koutou i te Tama a te tangata e kake atu ana ki te wāhi i noho ai ia i mua? 63 Ko te wairua te whakaora ana; kāhore a te kikokiko wāhi. Ko ngā kupu e kōrero nei ahau ki a koutou he wairua, he ora. 64 Tēnei anō ia ētahi o koutou kāhore ō rātou whakapono.” (I mātau hoki a Īhu nō te tīmatanga ki ngā mea kāhore ō rātou whakapono, ki te tangata anō e tukua ai ia.) 65 Ā, ka mea ia, “Nā, konei ahau i mea ai ki a koutou, kāhore he tangata e āhei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kāhore e hoatu ki a ia e tōku Matua.”
66 I taua wā, he tokomaha āna ākonga i hoki ki muri, ā, mutu ake tā rātou haere tahi me ia. 67 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki te tekau mā rua, “E mea ana anō rānei koutou kia haere?”
68 Nā, ka whakahokia e Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, me haere mātou ki a wai? Kei a koe ngā kupu o te ora tonu. 69 Kua whakapono mātou, kua mātau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua ora.”
70 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, “He teka ianei kotahi tekau mā rua koutou i whiriwhiria e ahau, he rēwera anō tētahi o koutou?” 71 Ko Hūrā Ikariote tama a Haimona tāna i kōrero ai; ko te tangata hoki ia meāke nei tuku i a ia; ko tētahi hoki ia o te tekau mā rua.
