1 Reis 18

Te Mutunga o te Taurakitanga

41 Nā, ka mea a Irāia ki a Āhapa, "Haere ki runga, ki te kai, ki te inu; he haruru ua hoki te rarā mai nei." 42 Heoi, haere ana a Āhapa ki te kai, ki te inu. Ko Irāia ia i piki ki te tihi o Karamere; ā, tāpapa ana ia ki te whenua, ko tōna mata i roto i ōna turi.

43 Nā, ka mea ia ki tāna tangata, "Tēnā, piki atu ināianei, tirohia te ritenga atu o te moana."

Nā, piki ana ia, titiro ana, ā, ka mea, "Kāhore kau he mea."

Nā, ka mea anō tērā, "Hoki atu anō, kia whitu ngā hokinga."

44 Ā, i te whitu ka mea ia, "Nanā, he kapua nohinohi tērā te haere ake rā i roto i te moana; kei te kapu o te ringa tangata te rite."

Nā, ka mea tērā, "Haere, mea atu ki a Āhapa, ‘Whakanohoia tōu hāriata, ka haere ki raro; kei āraia koe e te ua.’ "

45 Nā, mea rawa ake kua pōuri pū te rangi i te kapua, i te hau, nui atu hoki te ua. Nā, rere ana tērā a Āhapa i runga i te hāriata, ā, haere ana ki Ietereere. 46 Ā, i runga i a Irāia te ringa o Ihowā; nā, whītikiria ana e ia tōna hope, ā, rere ana i mua i a Āhapa ā tae noa ki Ietereere.
