20 Otiia, i a ia e hurihuri ana i ēnei mea, nā, ka puta moemoeā mai tētahi anahera a te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, "E Hōhepa, e te tama a Rāwiri, kaua e hopohopo ki te tango i a Meri, i tāu wahine; nā te Wairua Tapu hoki tōna hapū.

5 Nā, ka oho te anahera, ka mea ki ngā wāhine, "Kei wehi kōrua; e mātau ana hoki ahau, e rapu ana kōrua i a Īhu i rīpekatia. 6 Kāhore ia i konei; kua ara kē, kua pērā me tāna i mea ai. Haere mai kia kite i te wāhi i takoto ai te Ariki.

53 E hua koe e kore e āhei i ahau āianei te īnoi ki tōku Matua, ā, e hōmai e ia ki ahau he anahera maha atu i ngā rihiona kotahi tekau mā rua?

30 Nā, ka mea te ana­hera ki a ia, "Kei wehi koe, e Meri; kua pai­ngia hoki koe e te Atua. 31 Nana, tērā koe e hapū, ka whānau he tama, ā, ka huaina e koe tōna ingoa ko Īhu.

10 Nā, ka mea te ana­hera ki a rātou, "Kaua e mataku, tā te mea he kai­kauwhau tēnei ahau ki a koutou mō te hari nui, meāke puta mai ki te iwi katoa.

14 "Kia whai korōria te Atua i runga rawa,

kia mau te rongo ki runga ki te whenua, me te whaka­aro pai ki ngā tāngata!"

10 Wai­hoki, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, he hari kei te aro­aro o ngā ana­hera a te Atua mō te tangata hara kotahi ina rīpe­netā."

10 Ā, i a rātou e ti­tiro mata­tau atu ana ki te rangi, i a ia e haere ana, nā, ko ngā tāngata toko­rua e tū ana i tō rātou taha, he mā ngā kākahu. 11 E mea ana, "E ngā tāngata o Kariri, he aha tā koutou e tū, e mā­taki­taki atu nā ki te rangi? Ko tēnā Īhu kua tango­hia atu nā i a koutou ki te rangi, ka pērā anō tōna haere­nga mai me ia i tiro­hia atu nā e koutou e haere ana ki te rangi."

1 Kia mau tonu te aroha ki ngā tēina. 2 Kei ware­ware ki te ata­whai manu­hiri; nā tēnei hoki i whaka­manu­hiri ana­hera ai ētahi, kīhai anō i mātau atu.

1 Ahakoa kōrero noa ahau i ngā reo o ngā tāngata, o ngā ana­hera, ki te kāhore ōku aroha, ka rite ahau ki te parāhi tangi, ki te himi­pora ta­tangi.

16 Nā, kāhore rawa e tau­tohe­tia te nui o te mea ngaro e karakia­tia nei:

Ko ia i whaka­kitea mai i roto i te kiko­kiko,

he mea whaka­tika nā te Wairua,

i kitea e ngā ana­hera.

I kauwhau­tia nei i roto i ngā tauiwi,

i whaka­pono­hia nei i te ao,

i tango­hia atu ki te korōria.

16 Nō te mea ko te Ariki pū anō e heke iho i te rangi me te karanga, me te reo o te tino ana­hera, me te tētere a te Atua, ā, ko te hunga kua mate i roto a te Karaiti e ara i mua. 17 Ko reira tātou, te hunga kua mahue ki te ora, kā­hakina ngā­tahi­tia atu ai me rātou i runga i ngā kapua, ki te whaka­tau ki te Ariki i te rangi. Nā, ka noho tonu tātou ki te Ariki.

5 Ko te tangata i a ia te wiki­tōria, ka whaka­kākahu­ria ia ki te kākahu mā; e kore anō hoki e ūkuia e ahau tōna ingoa i te puka­puka o te ora, ā, ka whaka­ae­tia e ahau tōna ingoa ki te aro­aro o tōku Matua, ki te aro­aro anō hoki o āna ana­hera.

38 Ū tonu hoki tōku whaka­aro, e kore te mate, te ora rānei, e kore ngā ana­hera, ngā ranga­tira­tanga rānei, e kore ngā mea onāia­nei, e kore ngā mea e puta mai ā mua, e kore ngā mana, 39 e kore te tike­tike, e kore te hōhonu, e kore tētahi atu mea hangā, e kaha ki te momotu i a tātou i te aroha o te Atua, i tērā i roto nei i a Karaiti Īhu, i tō tātou Ariki.
