28 Muri iho i tēnei ka mōhio a Īhu ka oti ngā mea katoa, nā, ka mea ia, hei whaka­rite­nga mō te karaipi­ture, "He mate­wai tōku."

29 Nā, tērā e tū rā tētahi oko, kī tonu i te winika; ā, ka whaka­kīa e rātou tētahi hau­tai ki te winika, whaka­noho­ia ana ki runga ki te hihopa, hoatu ana ki tōna māngai. 30 Ā, nō te inu­manga o Īhu i te winika, ka mea ia, "Kua oti."

Nā, ka tuohu tōna māte­nga, tukua ana tōna wairua.

23 Ā, ka oti a Īhu te rīpeka e ngā hōia, ka mau rātou ki ōna kākahu, wehea ake kia whā ngā wāhi, ki ia hōia he wāhi; me te koti anō. Nā, kāhore he tui o te koti, he mea whatu iho i runga ā puta noa. 24 Nā, ka mea rātou tētahi ki tētahi, "Kaua e haea e tātou, engari, me maka ki te rota kia kitea ai, mō wai rānei." Nā, ka rite te karaipi­ture e mea nei:

"I wehe­wehea ōku kākahu mō rātou,

i maka rota hoki mō tōku weru­weru."

Ko tā ngā hōia tēnei i mea ai.

25 Nā, i te taha o te rīpeka o Īhu tōna whaea e tū ana, rātou ko te teina o tōna whaea, ko Meri wahine a Kereopa, ko Meri Makarini. 26 Ā, nō te kite­nga o Īhu i tōna whaea, i te ākonga hoki i aroha ai ia e tū tahi ana, ka mea ia ki tōna whaea, "E tai, Nana, tāu tama!"

27 Kātahi, ia ka mea ki taua ākonga, "Nā, tōu whaea!" Ā, nō taua hāora ka mau taua ākonga i a ia ki tōna whare.

33 Ā, ka tae rātou ki te wāhi e kīa nei ko Te Anga­anga, ka rīpeka­tia ia ki reira, me aua kai­mahi kino, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki mauī. 34 Nā, ka mea a Īhu, "E Pā, houhia te rongo ki a rātou; kāhore hoki rātou e mōhio ki tā rātou e mea nei."

Ā, wehe­wehea ana ōna kākahu e rātou he mea maka ki te rota. 35 Me te tū anō te iwi mā­taki­taki ai. Ko ngā ranga­tira hoki ka tāwai ki a ia, ka mea, "Ko ērā atu i whaka­ora­ngia e ia, māna anō ia e whaka­ora, ki te mea ia ko te Karaiti a te Atua, ko tāna i whiri­whiri ai!"

36 Ko ngā hōia ētahi i taunu ki a ia, ka haere mai me te kawe mai he winika ki a ia, 37 ka mea, "Ki te mea ko koe te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai, whaka­ora i a koe."

38 Ā, tērā te mea i tuhi­tuhia ki runga ake i a ia, "Ko te Kīngi tēnei o ngā Hūrai".

39 Nā, ko tētahi o ngā kai­mahi kino i whaka­iria rā i kohu­kohu ki a ia, i mea, "Ki te mea ko te Karaiti koe, whaka­ora­ngia koe, māua hoki."

40 Nā, ka whaka­hoki tētahi, ka riri ki a ia, ka mea, "E kore rānei koe e wehi ki te Atua, kei tēnei mate tahi nei hoki koe? 41 Ka tika rāia tō tāua; ka whi­whi hoki tāua ki ngā mea e tika ana mō ā tāua hanga; ko tēnei ia kāhore āna mahi hē." 42 Nā, ko tāna mea­tanga ki a Īhu, "E te Ariki, kia mahara koe ki ahau ina haere mai koe i runga i tōu ranga­tira­tanga."

43 Anō rā ko Īhu ki a ia, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koe, ko āia­nei koe noho ai ki ahau ki Pararaiha."

33 Ā, nō ka tae ki te ono o ngā hāora, ka pōuri a runga o te whenua katoa, taea noatia te iwa o ngā hāora. 34 Ā, i te iwa o ngā hāora ka karanga a Īhu, he nui te reo, ka mea, "Eroi, Eroi, rama hapaka­tani?" Ko te tikanga tēnei ina whaka­māori­tia, "E tōku Atua, e tōku Atua, he aha koe i whaka­rere ai i ahau?"

51 Nā, ka wāhia te ārai o te whare tapu i waenganui pū, mai i runga, ā, ki raro. Ka rū te whenua, pakaru ana ngā kāmaka. 52 Ko ngā urupā tuwhera kau; ā, he maha ngā tinana o te hunga tapu kua moe i ara mai. 53 Ko te putanga ake i ngā urupā i muri iho o tōna aranga mai, haere ana ki roto ki te pā tapu, ā, he tokomaha te hunga i kite i a rātou.

54 Nā, i te kitenga o te keneturio rātou ko ōna hoa tiaki i a Īhu i te rū, i ngā mea anō i meatia, nui atu tō rātou wehi, ka mea, "He pono ko te Tama tēnei a te Atua."

13 Kāhore he aroha o tētahi i rahi ake i tēnei, arā, kia tuku te tangata i a ia anō kia mate mō ōna hoa.

16 Koia anō te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, hōmai ana e ia tāna Tama kotahi, kia kāhore ai e ngaro te tangata e whaka­pono ana ki a ia, engari kia whi­whi ai ki te ora tonu.

10 Me­he­mea hoki, i te wā he hoa whawhai tātou, ka houhia tā tātou rongo ki te Atua i runga i te mate­nga o tāna Tama, tērā noa ake, i te mea ka mau nei te rongo, he whaka­ora­nga mō tātou, i a ia kua ora nei.

16 Nā konei tātou i mātau ai ki te aroha, i tuku atu hoki ia i a ia kia mate mō tātou. He tika anō kia tukua tātou e tātou anō ki te mate mō ngā tēina.

2 Ko ia anō te whaka­mārie mō ō tātou hara; ehara i te mea mō ō tātou anake, engari mō ō te ao katoa.

8 ā, ka kitea nei tōna āhua e rite ana ki tō te tangata,

ka whaka­pāpaku ia i a ia,

ka meinga kia ngohe­ngohe, ahakoa ki te mate,

āe rā, ki te mate o te rīpeka.

9 E mātau ana hoki tātou, ka ara nei a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, heoi anō ōna mate­nga; kāhore he kīngi­tanga o te mate ki a ia ā mua tonu atu. 10 Ko tōna mate­nga hoki i mate ai ia, he mate kotahi ki te hara; ko tōna oranga ia, he ora ki te Atua.

3 Kāhore ianei koutou i mōhio, ko tātou kua iri­iria nei ki roto ki a Karaiti Īhu, kua iri­iria ki roto ki tōna mate­nga? 4 Nā, kua tanu­mia ngā­tahi­tia tātou me ia ki roto ki te mate­nga, he mea nā te iri­iri; kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whaka­ara­hia ake nei i te hunga mate e te korōria o te Matua, wai­hoki ko tātou kia haere i roto i te hou­tanga o te ora.

27 Nā, kua takoto nei te tikanga mō ngā tāngata kia kotahi tonu te mate­nga, ā muri iho i tēnei ko te whaka­wā; 28 wai­hoki ko te Karaiti, kotahi tonu tōna tāpae­nga atu hei pīkau i ngā hara o te tini, ā, tēnei ake ko te rua o ōna whaka­kite­nga mai, kāhore anō he hara, hei whaka­ora i te hunga e tatari ana ki a ia.

22 "E ngā tāngata o Īharaira, kia rongo koutou ki ēnei kupu; Ko Īhu o Nahareta, he tangata i tino whai­tohu­ngia e te Atua ki a koutou i runga i ngā mere­kara, i ngā mea whaka­mīharo, i ngā tohu i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i waenga­nui o koutou, e mōhio ana anō rā koutou. 23 Ko tēnei tangata i tukua atu, he mea i āta whaka­aroa, ā, i mōhio­tia noatia ake e te Atua, tango­hia ana e koutou, whaka­matea iho, he mea rīpeka nā te ringa o ngā tāngata kino. 24 Nā te Atua ia i whaka­ara ake, nāna i wewete ngā mamae o te mate; nō te mea e kore ia e taea te pupuri e taua mate.

11 "Ko ahau te hēpara pai, he hēpara pai, ka tuku i a ia anō kia mate mō ngā hipi.

26 I ngā wā katoa hoki e kai ai koutou i tēnei taro, e inu ai i tēnei kapu, e whaka­kitea ana e koutou te mate­nga o te Ariki, kia tae mai rā anō ia.
