Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu tētahi Tangata, he Rēwera ōna
(Matiu 8.28-34; Ruka 8.26-39)
1 Ā, ka whiti rātou ki tāwāhi o te moana, ki te whenua o ngā Kararini. 2 Nā, mahuta kau i te kaipuke, ka tūtaki ki a ia tētahi tangata i puta mai i ngā urupā, he wairua poke tōna. 3 Kei ngā urupā nei tōna nohoanga; ā, ahakoa he mekameka, hore rawa ia i taea e tētahi tangata te here. 4 He maha hoki ōna herenga ki ngā here waewae, ki ngā mekameka, heoi motumotuhia ana e ia ngā mekameka, mongamonga noa anō ngā here waewae. Kīhai tētahi tangata i kaha ki te whakamārie i a ia. 5 I ngā urupā tonu ia, i ngā maunga i te pō, i te ao, e hāmama ana, e haehae ana i a ia ki te kōhatu.
6 Ā, i tōna kitenga i a Īhu i tawhiti, oma ana ia, koropiko ana ki a ia. 7 He nui tōna reo ki te karanga, ka mea, “Ko te aha tāku ki a koe, e Īhu, e te Tama a te Atua, a te Runga Rawa? Ko te Atua tāku whakaoati mōu, nā, kaua ahau e whakamamaetia.” 8 He meatanga hoki nāna ki a ia, “Puta mai i tēnei tangata, e te wairua poke.”
9 Nā, ka ui ia ki a ia, “Ko wai tōu ingoa?”
Ka whakahokia e tērā, ka mea, “Ko Rihiona tōku ingoa; he tokomaha hoki mātou.” 10 Ā, he nui tāna īnoi ki a ia kia kaua rātou e tonoa atu i taua whenua.
11 Nā, kei reira, kei ngā maunga, tētahi kāhui poaka e kai ana, tōna tini. 12 Nā, ka īnoi ngā rēwera katoa ki a ia, ka mea, “Tonoa mātou ki ngā poaka, kia tomo mātou ki a rātou.” 13 Nā, tukua ana rātou e Īhu. Heoi, ko te putanga o ngā wairua poke, ka tomo ki ngā poaka. Ko te tino rerenga o te kāhui rā te pari ki te moana, ko te maha kei te rua mano, ā, paremo iho ki te moana.
14 Nā, whati ana ngā kaiwhāngai o ngā poaka, ā, kōrerotia ana ki te pā, ki aua whenua. Nā, ka puta rātou kia kite i taua mea kua meatia nei. 15 Ā, nō tō rātou taenga mai ki a Īhu, ka kite i te tangata i nohoia nei e ngā rēwera, tērā i te rihiona, e noho ana, kua oti te whakakākahu, kua tika ngā mahara, ka mataku rātou. 16 Ā, ka kōrerotia ki a rātou, e te hunga i kite, te meatanga ki te tangata i ngā rēwera, ki ngā poaka hoki.
17 Nā, ka anga rātou, ka tohe ki a ia kia haere atu i ō rātou wāhi.
18 Ā, nō ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka īnoi ki a ia te tangata i ngā rēwera, kia waiho ia hei hoa mōna.
19 Otirā, kīhai a Īhu i tuku i a ia, engari i mea atu ki a ia, “Haere ki tōu whare, ki ōu whanaunga, ka kōrero ki a rātou i ngā mea nui i meinga e te Ariki ki a koe, i tāna atawhaitanga hoki i a koe.”
20 Nā, ka haere ia, ka anga, ka kōrero ki Rekaporihi, i ngā mea nunui i mea ai a Īhu ki a ia; ā, mīharo ana ngā tāngata katoa.
Te Tamāhine a Hairua me te Wahine i Whakapā ki te Kākahu o Īhu
(Matiu 9.18-26; Ruka 8.40-56)
21 Ā, nō te whitinga atu anō o Īhu ki tāwāhi i runga i te kaipuke, he nui te tangata i huihui ki a ia; i te taha anō ia o te moana. 22 Nā, ko te haerenga mai o tētahi o ngā rangatira o te whare karakia, ko Hairuha tōna ingoa; ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ōna waewae, 23 he nui tāna īnoi ki a ia, ka mea, “Ko tāku tamāhine nohinohi kei te whakahemohemo! Kia haere ake koe ki te whakapā i ōu ringa ki a ia kia ora ai, ā, ka ora.”
24 Nā, haere tahi ana rāua; he tini hoki te tangata i aru i a ia, popō tonu ki a ia.
25 Nā, ko tētahi wahine e mate ana i te pākaruhanga toto, ka tekau mā rua ngā tau. 26 He maha ngā meatanga a ngā rata tokomaha ki a ia, hemo noa āna rawa katoa, tē mātūtū ake tētahi wāhi, heoi, kake haere ana te mate. 27 Ā, nō tōna rongonga ki a Īhu, ka haere i muri i roto i te mano, ā, pā ana ki tōna kākahu. 28 I mea hoki, “Ahakoa pā kau ahau ki ōna kākahu, ka ora ahau.”
29 Ā, mimiti tonu ake te puna o ōna toto; nō ka mahara a roto o tōna tinana kua ora ia i te mate. 30 Nā, mōhio tonu a Īhu kua puta he mana i roto i a ia, ka tāhurihuri i roto i te mano, ka mea, “Ko wai tēnei kua pā nei ki ōku kākahu?”
31 Ka mea āna ākonga ki a ia, “E kite ana koe i te mano e popō nei ki a koe, ā, e mea ana koe, ‘Ko wai tēnei kua pā mai ki ahau?’ ”
32 Heoi, tirotiro ana ia kia kite i te wahine i mea nei i tēnei mea. 33 Nā, ka haere mai te wahine me te wehi, me te wiri, i mahara hoki ki te mea i meatia ki a ia, ā, takoto ana ki tōna aroaro, kōrerotia katoatia ana e ia te tikanga ki a ia. 34 Anō rā, ko Īhu ki a ia, “E kō, nā tōu whakapono koe i ora ai; haere mārie, kia ora koe i tōu mate.”
35 I a ia anō e kōrero ana, ka haere mai ētahi o ngā tāngata a te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea, “Kua mate tāu tamāhine. Hei aha ake māu te whakararuraru i te Kaiwhakaako?”
36 Otirā, kāhore a Īhu i aro ki te kupu i kōrerotia, ka mea atu ki te rangatira o te whare karakia, “Kaua e wehi, ko te whakapono ia kia whakapono.” 37 Ā, kīhai tētahi tangata i tukua kia haere tahi me ia, ko Pita anake, ko Hēmi, ko Hoani teina o Hēmi. 38 Ā, nō te taenga atu ki te whare o te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka kite ia i te ngangau, i te nui hoki o te tangi, o te auē a ētahi. 39 Ā, i tōna tomokanga ki roto, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “He aha koutou ka ngangau ai, ka tangi ai? Kāhore te kōtiro i mate, engari e moe ana.”
40 Nā, kataina iho ia e rātou. Heoi, ka oti katoa te pei ki waho, ka mau ia ki te pāpā, ki te whaea o te kōtiro, rātou ko ōna hoa, ka tomo ki te wāhi i takoto ai te kōtiro. 41 Nā, ka mau ia ki te ringa o te kōtiro, ka mea ki a ia, “Tarita kumi!” ko tōna whakamāoritanga tēnei, “E kō, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, e ara!”
42 Nā, whakatika tonu ake te kōtiro, ā, haere ana; kotahi tekau mā rua hoki ōna tau. Nā, ko te tino mīharotanga i mīharo ai rātou. 43 Ā, he nui tāna whakatūpato i a rātou, kia kaua tēnei e mōhiotia e tētahi tangata; ka kī kia hoatu he kai māna.
