8 Heoi, e ōku tēina, ko ngā mea e pono ana, ko ngā mea e whai hōnore ana, ko ngā mea e tika ana, ko ngā mea e kino­kore ana, ko ngā mea e āta­ahua ana, ko ngā mea e kōrero­tia paitia ana; ki te mea he pai, ki te mea he whaka­moe­miti; whaka­aroa ēnei mea.

2 Kaua hoki tō koutou āhua e rite ki tō tēnei ao; engari, kia puta kē, arā kia whaka­hou­tia ō koutou hine­ngaro, kia whaka­mā­tau­tau­ria ai e koutou tā te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manako­hia ana, e tino rite ana.

13 Heoi, whī­tiki­ria ngā hope o ō koutou hine­ngaro, kia mata­ara, tū­mana­ko atu, ā taea noatia te mutu­nga, ki te aroha noa e kawea mai ki a koutou ā te whaka­kite­nga mai o Īhu Karaiti.

20 Nā, ki a ia, e kaha nei ki te mahi i ngā mea nui whaka­hara­hara, nui noa atu i ngā mea katoa e īnoi ai, e whaka­aro ai tātou, he pēnei anō me te kaha e mahi nei i roto i a tātou, 21 waiho atu i a ia te korōria i roto i te hāhi i runga i a Karaiti Īhu, ā taea noatia ngā whaka­tupu­ranga katoa, ake ake. Āmine.

12 Ora tonu hoki te kupu a te Atua, mana tonu, koi rawa atu i tētahi hoari mata­rua, ngoto tonu, ā, wehea noatia te ngākau me te wairua, ngā pona­pona me te hinu wheua, ā, wawae ana anō i ngā whaka­aro, i ngā hi­hiri­tanga o te ngākau.

20 I mea anō ia, "Ko te mea e puta ake ana i te tangata, mā tērā e noa ai te tangata. 21 Nō roto hoki, nō te ngākau o ngā tāngata te pu­tanga o ngā whaka­aro kino, o ngā moe­puku, 22 o ngā tāhae, o ngā kōhuru, o ngā pūremu, o ngā hia­hia apo, o ngā kino, o te tini­hanga, o te hia­hia tai­kaha, o te kanohi kino, o te kohu­kohu, o te whaka­peha­peha, o te wai­rangi. 23 Nō roto te pu­tanga ake o ēnei kino katoa, ā, mā reira e noa ai te tangata."

25 "Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, kaua e mānukanuka ki tō koutou ora, ki tā koutou e kai ai, ki tā koutou e inu ai; ki ō koutou tinana rānei, ki tā koutou e kākahu ai. Ehara oti te ora i te rahi atu i te kai, me te tinana i te kākahu?

7 "Nā, ka īnoi koutou, aua e whakahuatia noatia ko aua kupu anō, kei pērā me ngā tauiwi; ki tā rātou hoki mā ngā kupu maha e rangona ai rātou.

1 Nā, kei te hui­hui anō tērā ngā mano, tōna tini, nō ka taka­takahi i a rātou anō, ā, ka anga ia ka kōrero i te tua­tahi tonu ki āna ākonga, ka mea, "Kia tūpato i te rēwena o ngā Parihi; arā i te tini­hanga. 2 Kāhore hoki he mea i hīpoki­na e mahue te hura; kāhore hoki tētahi mea ngaro e mahue te mōhio. 3 Mō konei ko tā koutou e kōrero ai i te pōuri, ka rangona i te mārama. Ko tā koutou e kī ai ki te tari­nga i ngā rūma i roto rawa, ka kauwhau­tia i runga o ngā whare."

4 "Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, e ōku hoa, kaua e wehi ki te hunga e whaka­mate nei i te tinana, ā muri iho kāhore he mea e taea e rātou. 5 Engari māku e whaka­atu ki a koutou tā koutou e wehi ai. E wehi ki a ia kei a ia nei te mana, i muri i tāna whaka­mate­nga, ki te maka ki Kehena. Āe rā hoki, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, e wehi ki a ia!

6 "Kāhore ianei e hokona ngā pī­hoi­hoi e rima ki ngā pātene e rua, ā, kāhore tētahi o rātou e ware­ware i te Atua? 7 Heoi, kua oti katoa te tatau ngā makawe katoa nei o ō koutou māte­nga. Kaua e wehi; engari koutou i ngā pī­hoi­hoi maha."

8 "Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, ki te whaka­ae tētahi ki ahau i te aro­aro o ngā tāngata, ka whaka­ae­tia anō ia e te Tama a te tangata i te aro­aro o ngā ana­hera a te Atua. 9 Ki te whaka­kāhore tētahi i ahau i te aro­aro o ngā tāngata, ka whaka­kāhore­tia anō ia i te aro­aro o ngā ana­hera a te Atua.

10 "Ki te kōrero tētahi he whaka­hē mō te Tama a te tangata, ka murua tōna hara; tēnā ko te tangata e kohu­kohua ai te Wairua Tapu, e kore tōna e murua.

11 "Ki te kawea koutou ki ngā whare kara­kia, ki ngā ranga­tira, ki te hunga whai mana, kaua e mā­nuka­nuka ki te pēhea, ki te aha rānei e whaka­hoki atu ai koutou, ki tā koutou rānei e kōrero ai. 12 Mā te Wairua Tapu hoki koutou e ako i taua hāora anō ki ngā mea e tika ana kia kōrero­tia e koutou."

13 Nā, ka mea tētahi i roto i te mano ki a ia, "E te Kai­whaka­ako, mea atu ki tōku tua­kana, kia wehea mai mōku tētahi wāhi o te kāinga."

14 Nā, ko tāna mea­tanga ki a ia, "E te tangata nei, nā wai ahau i mea hei kai­whaka­wā, hei kai­wehe­wehe i waenga­nui i a koutou?" 15 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Kia mahara, kia tūpato ki te apo; ehara i te mea mā te nui o ngā taonga a te tangata e ora ai ia."

16 Nā, ka kōrero­tia e ia tētahi kupu whaka­rite ki a rātou, ka mea: "Nā, he nui te hua o te whenua o tētahi tangata whai taonga. 17 Nā, ka whaka­aro­aro ia i roto i a ia, ‘Me pēhea ahau? Kāhore hoki ōku wāhi hei putu­nga mō āku hua.’ 18 Ā, ka mea ia, ‘Tēnei tāku e mea ai, ka wā­wāhia e ahau ōku whare wīti, ā, ka hangā kia nui. Ā, ka kohiko­hia ki reira āku hua katoa, me āku taonga. 19 Kātahi ahau ka mea ki tōku wairua, E tōku wairua, ka maha āu mea papai kei te rongoā mō ngā tau e maha; noho noa iho, e kai, e inu, kia koa te ngākau.’ 20 Otiia, ka mea te Atua ki a ia, ‘Kūware, ko ā tēnei pō anō tango­hia ai tōu wairua i a koe; ā, mā wai ngā mea kua pae nā i a koe?’

21 "Nā, ka pēnā te tangata e whaka­pū­ranga ana i te taonga māna ake, ā, kāhore e hua tāna whaka te Atua."

22 Nā, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, "Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, kaua e mā­nuka­nuka ki tō koutou oranga, ki tā koutou e kai ai, ki te tinana rānei, ki tā koutou e kākahu ai. 23 Rahi atu te ora i te kai, me te tinana i te kākahu. 24 Whaka­aroa ngā raweni: kāhore nei e whaka­tō, kāhore e kokoti, kāhore ā rātou pākoro, kāhore he whare wīti, heoi, e whāngaia ana rātou e te Atua. Tērā noa ake koutou i ngā manu? 25 Ā, ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whaka­aro iho, te hono tētahi wāhi ki tōna roa, kia kotahi te whatīa­nga? 26 Ā, ki te kore e taea e koutou te mea nohi­nohi rawa, he aha i mā­nuka­nuka ai ki tētahi atu? 27 Whaka­aroa ngā renga­renga, tō rātou tupu; e kore nei e mahi, e kore e miro, nā, ko tāku tēnei ki a koutou, kīhai a Horomona me tōna korōria katoa i rite ki tētahi o ēnei te whai kākahu. 28 Nā, ki te pēnei tā te Atua whaka­kākahu i te taru­taru i te pārae, kei reira āia­nei, ā, āpōpō ka makā ki te oumu. Tērā noa ake tāna i a koutou, e te hunga whaka­pono iti.

29 "Kaua rā e rapu ki tā koutou e kai ai, ki tā koutou e inu ai, kaua e tīrengi noa te whaka­aro. 30 E rapu ana hoki ngā iwi o te ao i ēnei mea katoa, otirā e mātau ana tō koutou Matua e matea ana e koutou ēnei mea. 31 Engari rapua te ranga­tira­tanga o te Atua, ā, ka tāpiri­tia ēnei mea katoa mā koutou."

32 "Kaua e mataku, e te kāhui nohi­nohi; kua pai hoki tō koutou Matua ki te hōmai i te ranga­tira­tanga ki a koutou. 33 Hokona ō koutou taonga, hoatu he mea mā te hunga rawa­kore. Hangā mā koutou he pēke moni e kore e tawhito­tia, he taonga ki te rangi e kore e memeha, ki te wāhi e kore nei e tata atu te tāhae, e kore anō te huhu e kai. 34 Ko te wāhi hoki i tō koutou taonga, ko reira anō ō koutou ngākau."

35 "Whī­tiki­ria ō koutou hope, tahuna ngā rama kia kā; 36 ko tō koutou rite hei ngā tāngata e tatari ana ki tō rātou ranga­tira, ina hoki mai i te hākari o te mārena, mō tōna tae rawa mai, ka pātōtō, nā uaki tonu atu rātou ki a ia. 37 Ka koa ngā pono­nga e roko­hina mai e tō rātou ranga­tira, ā tōna taenga mai, e mata­ara ana. He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka whī­tiki ia i a ia, ā, ka mea i a rātou kia noho, ka haere ki te mahi mea mā rātou. 38 Ā, ki te haere mai ia i te rua o ngā mataara­tanga, i te toru rānei, ā, ka roko­hina mai e pērā ana anō, ka koa aua pono­nga. 39 Otirā, kia mōhio koutou ki tēnei, me i mātau te tangata i te whare, ki te wā e haere mai ai te tāhae, kua mata­ara ia, ā, kāhore i tukua kia pokaia tōna whare. 40 Kia ta­ta­nga rā koutou, nō te mea e puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te hāora e kore ai koutou e mahara."

41 Nā, ka mea a Pita ki a ia, "E te Ariki, ki a mātou tēnei kupu whaka­rite e kōrero nei koe? Ki te katoa rānei?"

42 Nā, ka mea te Ariki, "Ko wai rā te tuari pono, mahara, e meinga e tōna ariki hei ranga­tira mō āna tāngata, hei hoatu i te mēhua kai i te wā e tika ai? 43 Ka koa taua pono­nga, ki te roko­hina e tōna ranga­tira ina tae mai, e pēnā ana. 44 He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka meinga ia hei ranga­tira mō āna taonga katoa. 45 Otirā, ki te mea taua pono­nga i roto i tōna ngākau, ‘Ka roa te haere­nga mai o tōku ariki’; ā, ka anga, ka whiu i ngā pono­nga tāne, i ngā pono­nga wāhine, ka kai, ka inu, ka hau­rangi, 46 ka haere mai te ranga­tira o taua pono­nga i te rā e kore ai ia e mahara, i te hāora e kore ai ia e mōhio, ā, ka hau­topea ia, ka meinga mōna he wāhi i roto i te hunga whaka­pono kore.

47 "Nā, ko taua pono­nga, i mōhio nei ki tā tōna ranga­tira i pai ai, ā, kīhai i whaka­aro wawe, kīhai hoki i mea i tāna i pai ai, he maha ngā whiu mōna. 48 Tēnā, ko ia kīhai i mōhio, ā, i mahi i ngā mea e tika ai kia whiua, he toru­toru ngā whiu mōna. Ko te tangata hoki i nui te hoatu­tanga ki a ia he nui anō hei hōmai­tanga māna; ā, ko te tangata i nui te tuku­nga ki a ia, hira noa atu te mea e tonoa i a ia."

49 "I haere mai ahau ki te maka kāpura ki te whenua; ā, ka pēhea ahau, me­he­mea kua kā kē? 50 Otirā, he iri­iri­nga tōku e iri­iria ai ahau; anō tōku tā­kare­kare kia oti rā anō! 51 E mea ana rānei koutou, i haere mai ahau ki te hōmai i te rangi­mārire ki te whenua? Tēnei tāku kupu ki a koutou, kāhore; engari i te wehe­wehe. 52 Hei ngā rā hoki e takoto ake nei ka toko­rima i roto i te whare kotahi, ā, ka tahuri ki a rātou anō, toko­toru ki te toko­rua, toko­rua ki te toko­toru. 53 Ka tahuri atu te pāpā ki te tama, te tama ki te pāpā, te whaea ki te tamā­hine, te tamā­hine ki tōna whaea, te hunga­wai wahine ki tāna hunao­nga wahine, me te hunao­nga wahine ki tōna hunga­wai wahine."

54 Ā, i mea anō ia ki ngā mano, "Ka kite koutou i te kapua e puta mai ana i te hau­āuru, nā, mea tonu ake koutou, ‘He ua te haere mai nei,’ ā, ko ia anō ia. 55 Ka kite koutou i te tonga e pupuhi ana, ka mea koutou, ‘Meāke ko te wera­wera’, ā, ko ia anō ia. 56 E te hunga tini­hanga, e mātau ana koutou ki te ti­tiro ki te mata o te whenua, o te rangi; he aha koutou tē mātau ai ki te ti­tiro ki tēnei tāima?

57 "Ā, he aha koutou tē whaka­aro noa ake ai i te mea tika? 58 I a kōrua ko tōu hoa tau­whāi­nga e haere ana ki te kai­whaka­wā, hei te hua­rahi anō kia kaha te mea kia makere atu ia i a koe; kei tōia koe e ia ki te kai­whaka­wā, ā, ka tukua koe e te kai­whaka­wā ki te kātipa, ā, ka makā koe e te kātipa ki te whare here­here. 59 Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta mai i reira, kia poto rā anō ngā moni iti rawa te utu e koe."

3 Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki ngā tāngata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea nā te aroha noa i hōmai nei ki ahau, kaua e hira ake te whaka­aro o tētahi ki a ia anō i te mea i tika kia whaka­aroa e ia; engari kia āta whaka­aro, kia rite ki te wāhi o te whaka­pono i tu­whai­na e te Atua ki tēnā, ki tēnā.

10 Nā, he tohe tēnei nāku ki a koutou, e ōku tēina, i runga i te ingoa o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, kia kotahi tā koutou kōrero katoa, ā, kia kaua he wehe­wehe­nga i roto i a koutou; engari, kia tui­tuia koutou i runga i te ngākau kotahi, i te whaka­aro kotahi.

11 Ko wai oti o ngā tāngata e mātau ana ki ngā mea a te tangata? Ko te wairua anake o te tangata i roto i a ia? Wai­hoki ko ngā mea a te Atua e kore e mātau­ria e tētahi, engari e te Wairua o te Atua.

18 Kei hanga­rau tētahi ki a ia anō. Ki te mea tētahi he tangata mōhio ia i roto i a koutou i tēnei ao, tukua ia hei kūware kia tupu ai hei tangata whaka­aro.
