21 Ko tā te Matua hoki, he whaka­ara, he whaka­ora i ngā tū­pā­paku; ka pērā anō te Tama, ka whaka­ora i āna e pai ai. 22 E kore hoki te Matua e whaka­wā i tētahi, engari, kua tukua e ia ngā whaka­wā katoa ki te Tama; 23 kia rite ai te whaka­hōnore a ngā tāngata katoa i te Tama ki tā rātou whaka­hōnore i te Matua. Ki te kāhore tētahi e whaka­hōnore i te Tama, e whaka­kāhore ana ia i te hōnore mō te Matua nāna nei ia i tono mai.

24 "He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki tāku kōrero, e whaka­pono ana hoki ki tōku kai­tono mai, he ora tonu tōna; e kore anō ia e riro ki te whaka­wā, engari, kua whiti i te mate ki te ora. 25 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, meāke puta te wā, ā, tēnei anō ināia­nei, e rongo ai ngā tū­pā­paku i te reo o tā te Atua Tama; ā, ko te hunga e rongo ana ka ora. 26 Tā te mea he ora tō te Matua kei roto i a ia; wai­hoki kua hōmai e ia ki te Tama, kia whai ora i roto i a ia; 27 ā, kua hōmai anō ki a ia he tikanga mō te whaka­wā, nō te mea ko ia te Tama a te tangata. 28 Kaua e mīharo ki tēnei; nō te mea meāke puta te wā, e rongo ai i tōna reo ngā tāngata katoa i roto i ngā urupā, 29 ā, ka puta; ko ngā kai­mahi i te pai ki te aranga o te ora; ko ngā kai­mahi i te kino ki te aranga o te whaka­wā.

30 "E kore e āhei i ahau te mea tētahi mea e ahau anake; rite tonu tāku whaka­wā ki tāku e rongo ai. He tika hoki tāku whaka­wā; kāhore hoki ahau e rapu i tāku i pai ai, engari, i tā tōku kai­tono i pai ai."

31 "Me­he­mea ko ahau hei whaka­atu i āku aha, i āku aha, ehara tāku i te whaka­atu pono.

7 He pono ia tāku kōrero ki a koutou; nui atu te pai mō koutou ki te haere ahau; ki te kāhore hoki ahau e haere, e kore te Kai­whaka­mārie e tae mai ki a koutou; ā, ki te haere ahau, māku ia e tono mai ki a koutou. 8 Nā, ka tae mai ia, māna e whaka­atu ki te ao te hara, te tika, me te whaka­wā. 9 Te hara, mō rātou kāhore e whaka­pono ki ahau;

30 Ka whaka­hoki a Īhu, ka mea, "Ehara tēnei reo i puta mai nei i te mea mōku, engari mō koutou. 31 Ko āia­nei te whaka­wā mō tēnei ao; ko āia­nei makā ai te ranga­tira o tēnei ao ki waho. 32 Ā, ki te whaka­iri­hia ake ahau ki runga ake i te whenua, māku ngā tāngata katoa e kukume ki ahau."

38 Nā, ko tāna mea­tanga, "E te Ariki, e whaka­pono ana ahau." Nā, koro­piko ana ia ki a ia.

39 Kātahi a Īhu ka mea, "I haere mai ahau ki tēnei ao ki te whaka­rite whaka­wā, he mea e kite ai te hunga kāhore nei i kite; e whaka­matapō­tia ai hoki te hunga e kite ana."

1 Ko te tangata he ngoi­kore te whaka­pono, manako­hia, kauaka ia ki ngā tau­tohe whaka­aro. 2 Ko tētahi hoki e whaka­pono ana he pai ngā mea katoa hei kai māna. Ko te tangata ia he ngoi­kore tōna whaka­pono e kai ota­ota ana. 3 Kaua te tangata e kai ana e whaka­hāwea ki te tangata kāhore e kai, kaua hoki te tangata kāhore e kai e whaka­hē i te tangata e kai ana. Kua manako­hia hoki ia e te Atua. 4 Ko wai koe e whaka­hē nā i te pono­nga a tērā? Mā tōna ranga­tira ia e whaka­tū, e whaka­hi­nga rānei. Inā, ka whaka­tū­ria anō ia, e taea hoki ia e te Atua te whaka­tū.

12 Āe rā, ka kōrero­tia e tēnei, e tēnei o tātou te tikanga o āna mahi ki te Atua.

13 Nā, kāti tā tātou whaka­hē tētahi i tētahi. Engari, ko tēnei kia rite i a koutou, kia kaua e whaka­takoto­ria he tūtuki­tanga wae­wae, he take whaka­hi­nga rānei mō tōna teina. 14 E mōhio ana ahau, ū tonu tōku whaka­aro i roto i te Ariki, i a Īhu, kāhore he mea nōna ake anō tōna noa. Hāunga ia ki te mea tētahi he noa tētahi mea, e noa anō ki a ia.

17 Ko te wā hoki tēnei e tīmata ai te whaka­wā ki te whare o te Atua; ki te mea hoki kei a tātou te tua­tahi, he pēhea rā te whaka­mutu­nga ki te hunga e kore e tahuri ki te rongo­pai o te Atua?

5 Nā reira, kaua e whaka­wā­kia wawe­tia tētahi mea, kia tae mai rā anō te Ariki, māna e whaka­mārama ngā mea huna o te pōuri, e whaka­kite hoki ngā whaka­aro o ngā ngākau; hei reira ia tangata whaka­moe­miti­tia ai e te Atua.

2 Nā, ko te whakawākanga e whakawā ai koutou, koia anō hei whakawākanga mō koutou, ā, ko te mēhua e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou. 3 Ā, he aha tāu e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē mahara ki te kurupae i roto i tōu? 4 Me pēhea rānei tāu kupu ki tōu teina, ‘Iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i tōu kanohi’, ā, he kurupae anō tēnā kei roto i tōu?

1 Nā, muri iho i ēnei mea ka rangona e ahau he reo nui me te mea nō te mano tini i te rangi, e mea ana, "Areruia! Ko te whaka­ora­nga, ko te korōria, ko te hōnore, ko te kaha, kei te Ariki, kei tō tātou Atua; 2 he pono hoki, he tika āna whaka­wā. Kua whaka­wā­kia hoki e ia te wahine kairau, te mea nui, i hē ai te whenua i tōna moe­puku, kua rapua anō e ia he utu i a ia mō ngā toto o āna pono­nga." 3 Nā, ka tua­rua­tia anō ā rātou mea­tanga, "Areruia! Heoi, kake ake ana te paoa o taua pā ake ake."
