Te Kupu Whakarite o te Taonga Huna

44 "He rite anō te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te taonga i hunā ki te māra; nō te kitenga a tētahi tangata, nā, ka hunā e ia, ā haere ana, he koa hoki nōna, nā hokona ana āna mea katoa, ā, hokona ana mai taua māra māna."

Te Kupu Whakarite o te Peara

45 "He rite anō te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te kaihokohoko, e rapu ana i ngā peara papai. 46 Ā, nō tōna kitenga i tētahi peara utu nui, haere ana, hokona ana āna mea katoa, ā, hokona ana mai taua peara māna."

Te Kupu Whakarite mō te Pua Nanī

31 Tēnei ake anō tētahi kupu whakarite i makā e ia ki a rātou, i mea ia: "He rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te pua nanī, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tāna māra. 32 He iti rawa ia i ngā purapura katoa, ā, ka tupu, ko ia te nui rawa o ngā otaota, ā, whakarākau ana, nō ka rere mai ngā manu o te rangi, ka noho ki ōna manga."

Te Kupu Whakarite mō te Rēwena

33 Tēnei ake anō tētahi kupu whakarite i kōrerotia e ia ki a rātou: "He rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te rēwena i tangohia e tētahi wahine, ā, whaongia ana ki roto ki ngā mēhua parāoa e toru, nō ka rēwenatia katoatia."

Te Kupu Whakarite mō ngā Taru Kino

24 Tēnei ake anō tētahi kupu whakarite i makā e ia ki a rātou, i mea ia: "Ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tētahi tangata i rui i te purapura pai ki tāna māra. 25 Ā, i ngā tāngata e moe ana, ka haere mai tōna hoariri, ruia iho he taru kino ki waenga wīti, ā, haere ana. 26 Ā, nō ka pihi ake te rau, ka hua, kātahi ka kitea hoki ngā taru. 27 Nā, ka haere mai ngā pononga a taua rangatira, ka mea ki a ia, ‘E mara, kīhai ianei koe i rui i te purapura pai ki tāu māra? Nō hea rā ōna taru?’ 28 Nā, ka kī atu ia ki a rātou, ‘Nā te hoariri tēnei i mea.’ Kātahi, ka mea ngā pononga ki a ia, ‘E pai rānei koe kia haere mātou ki te whakawhāiti i aua taru?’ 29 Ā, ka mea ia, ‘Kāhore; kei hūtia ngātahitia te wīti ina whakawhāititia ngā taru. 30 Tukua kia tupu tahi, ā taea noatia te kotinga; ā, i te wā o te kotinga ka mea ahau ki ngā kaikokoti, Mātua whakawhāiti i ngā taru, ka paihere ai hei paihere kia tahuna; ko te wīti ia me kohi ki tōku whare wīti.’ "

Ka Whakamārama a Īhu i te Kupu Whakarite o ngā Taru Kino

36 Kātahi ka mahue i a Īhu te mano, ka tomo ia ki te whare. Nā, ka haere mai āna ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, "Whakaaturia mai ki a mātou te kupu i whakaritea ki ngā taru i te māra."

37 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ko te kairui o te purapura pai ko te Tama a te tangata. 38 Ko te māra ko te ao; ko te purapura pai ko ngā tamariki o te rangatiratanga; ngā taru ko ngā tamariki a te kino; 39 ko te hoariri i ruia ai ko te rēwera; te kotinga ko te mutunga o te ao; ngā kaikokoti ko ngā anahera. 40 Nā, e huihuia ana ngā taru, e tahuna ana ki te ahi; ka pērā anō i te mutunga o tēnei ao. 41 Ka tono te Tama a te tangata i āna anahera ki te huihui i roto i tōna rangatiratanga i ngā mea katoa e tūtuki ai te waewae, i ngā kaimahi anō i te kino; 42 ā, ka makā e rātou ki roto ki te oumu ahi; ko te wāhi tērā o te tangi me te tetēā o ngā niho. 43 Ko reira te hunga tika whiti ai me te rā i te rangatiratanga o tō rātou Matua. Ki te whai taringa tētahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia."

Te Kupu Whakarite o te Kupenga

47 "He rite anō te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te kupenga i tukua ki te moana, ā, haoa ana he ika o ia āhua, o ia āhua. 48 Ā, ka kī, ka kūmea ki uta, ā, noho ana, kohikohia ana ngā ika papai ki ngā kete, ko ngā mea kikino ia i ākiritia ki waho. 49 Ka pērā anō a te mutunga o te ao. Ka haere ngā anahera, ka wehewehe i te hunga kino i roto i te hunga tika, 50 ā, ka maka i a rātou ki roto ki te oumu ahi; ko te wāhi tērā o te tangi, o te tetēā o ngā niho."

Te Koa Tūturu

3 "Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua;

nō rātou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

4 Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana;

ka whakamārietia hoki rātou.

5 Ka koa te hunga ngākau māhaki;

ka riro hoki i a rātou te whenua.

6 Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana,

e hiainu ana, ki te tika;

e mākona hoki rātou.

7 Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata;

e tohungia hoki rātou.

8 Ka koa te hunga ngākau mā;

e kite hoki rātou i te Atua.

9 Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo;

ka huaina hoki rātou he tamariki nā te Atua.

10 Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mō te tika;

nō rātou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

11 "Ka koa koutou ina tāwai rātou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a rātou ngā kupu kino katoa mō koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau. 12 Kia hari, kia whakamanamana; he rahi hoki te utu mō koutou i te rangi; he pēnei hoki tā rātou whakatoi i ngā poropiti i mua i a koutou."

Ko Wai te Nui Rawa?

1 I taua wā, ka haere mai ngā ākonga ki a Īhu, ka mea, "Ko wai te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi?"

2 Nā, ka karangatia e Īhu tētahi tamaiti nohinohi, ka whakatūria e ia ki waenganui i a rātou, 3 ka mea, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kore koutou e tahuri, ā, e pēnei me ngā tamariki nonohi, e kore koutou e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 4 Nā, ki te whakaiti tētahi i a ia, ā, ka rite ki tēnei tamaiti nohinohi, ko ia te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

14 Nā, ko te kīanga a Īhu, "Tukua mai ngā tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e āraia atu tā rātou haere mai ki ahau; nō ngā pēnei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi."

23 Ka mea a Īhu ki āna ākonga, "He pono tāku kupu ki a koutou, e tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 24 Tēnei anō tāku kupu ki a koutou, he ngāwari kē atu te haere o te kāmera rā te kōwhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua."

25 Ā, nō ka rongo āna ākonga, nui rawa tō rātou mīharo, ka mea, "Ko wai rā e ora?"

26 Nā, ka titiro a Īhu ki a rātou, ka mea, "Ki te tangata e kore tēnei e taea, ki te Atua ia e taea ngā mea katoa."

5 Whaka­rongo, e ōku tēina aroha. Kāhore anō koia te Atua i whiri­whiri i ngā rawa­kore o tēnei ao, kia whi­whi ki te taonga, arā ki te whaka­pono, kia riro hoki i a rātou te ranga­tira­tanga kua whaka­aria mai e ia mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia?

Kāhore Au i Mōhio ki a Koe

21 "E kore e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ngā tāngata katoa e mea mai ana ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ engari, ia e mea ana i tā tōku Matua i te rangi i pai ai.

19 Nā, ki te whakakāhore tētahi i tētahi mea iti rawa o ēnei kupu ako, ā, ka ako i ngā tāngata kia pērā, ka kīa ia ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi; engari, ki te whakaritea e tētahi, ki te whakaakona, ka kīa ia he nui i te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 20 Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake tā koutou mahi tika i tā ngā karaipi rātou ko ngā Parihi, e kore rawa koutou e tapoko ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi."

9 Nā, kia pēnei tā koutou īnoi:

‘E tō mātou Matua i te rangi:

Kia tapu tōu ingoa;

10 kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga;

kia meatia tāu e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua

kia rite anō ki tō te rangi.

Te Kauwhautanga a Hoani Kaiiriiri

1 Nā, i aua rā, ka puta a Hoani Kaiiriiri, ka kauwhau i te koraha o Hūria, 2 ka mea, "Rīpenetā, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi."

17 Nō reira anō a Īhu i tīmata ai te kauwhau, te mea, "Rīpenetā, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi."

7 Me kauwhau haere hoki, me kī, ‘Kua tata te rangatiratanga o te rangi.’

11 Ko tāku kupu anō tēnei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e haere mai i te rāwhiti, i te hauāuru, ā, e noho tahi i a Āperahama, i a Īhaka, i a Hākopa, ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

11 He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore anō i maea ake i roto i ngā whānau a te wahine he rahi ake i a Hoani Kaiiriiri; heoi, rahi ake i a ia te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 12 Ā, nō ngā rā mai anō i a Hoani Kaiiriiri ā mohoa noa nei e tūkinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, ā, e riro ana ia i te ringa kaha o ngā tāngata taikaha.

28 Nā, ka riro nei i a tātou he kīngi­tanga e kore e taea te whaka­ngāueue, kia whi­whi tātou ki te aroha noa e manako­hia mai ai tā tātou e mahi nei ki te Atua i runga i te hopo­hopo, i te wehi; 29 he ahi hoki e kai ana tō tātou Atua.

10 Mō konei, e ōku tēina, kia puta tō koutou uaua ki te whaka­pūmau i tō koutou karanga­tanga, i tō koutou whiri­whiringa. Ki te pēnei hoki tā koutou mahi e kore rawa koutou e tapepa. 11 Pēnei hoki ka whi­whi nui koutou ki te hua­rahi tomo atu ki te ranga­tira­tanga mutunga­kore o tō tātou Ariki, arā o te Kai­whaka­ora, o Īhu Karaiti.

18 Tērā ahau e tōia mai e te Ariki i roto i ngā mahi kino katoa, e whaka­ora­ngia hoki tae noa ki tōna ranga­tira­tanga i te rangi. Waiho atu i a ia te korōria ake ake. Āmine.

Ngā Taonga i te Rangi

32 "Kaua e mataku, e te kāhui nohi­nohi; kua pai hoki tō koutou Matua ki te hōmai i te ranga­tira­tanga ki a koutou.

5 E tino mātau ana hoki koutou ki tēnei, e kore tētahi tangata moe­puku, poke rānei, apo rānei, he kai­karakia nei hoki ia ki te whaka­pakoko, e whai wāhi ki te ranga­tira­tanga o te Karaiti, ā, o te Atua.
