Whakakitenga 20

Ngā Tau Kotahi Mano

1 Ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te kī o te poka tōrere, me tētahi mekameka nui i tōna ringaringa. 2 Nā, ka mau ia ki te tarakona, ki te nākahi onamata, ko te Rēwera nei ia, ko Hātana hoki, ka herehere i a ia kotahi mano ngā tau. 3 Ka maka i a ia ki te poka tōrere, uakina ana, whakapiri rawa te hīri ki runga ki a ia, kei whakapōhēhē ia i ngā tauiwi i muri iho, kia taka rā anō ngā tau kotahi mano, ā muri iho i ēnei mea me wewete ia, he tāima iti kau ia.

4 I kite anō ahau i ngā torōna, e noho ana hoki rātou i runga, i hoatu anō hoki te whakawā ki a rātou. I ngā wairua hoki o te hunga i pōutoa mō te whakaaturanga i a Īhu, mō te kupu hoki a te Atua, te hunga kāhore i koropiko ki te kararehe, ki tōna whakapakoko rānei, kīhai hoki i meatia te tohu ki ō rātou rae, ki ō rātou ringaringa. Nā, ka ora rātou, ka kīngi tahi me te Karaiti, kotahi mano tau. 5 (Kīhai ia i ora ake te toenga o ngā tūpāpaku, ā taka noa ngā tau kotahi mano.) Ko te aranga tuatahi tēnei. 6 Hari tonu, tapu tonu te tangata he wāhi nei tōna i te aranga tuatahi. E kore te matenga tuarua e whai mana ki a rātou; engari hei tohunga rātou mā te Atua, mā te Karaiti hoki, ā, kotahi mano ngā tau e kīngi tahi ai rātou me ia.

Te Hinganga o Hātana

7 Ā, nō ka pahemo ngā tau kotahi mano, ka wetekina a Hātana i roto i tōna whare herehere. 8 Ā, ka haere ia ki te whakapōhēhē i ngā tauiwi i ngā pito e whā o te whenua, i a Koka rāua ko Makoko, e huihui ai rātou ki te taua; ko te tokomaha o rātou rite tonu ki te onepū o te moana. 9 Nā, haere ana rātou ki te whānui o te whenua, karapotia ana e rātou te nohoanga o te hunga tapu, me te pā e arohaina ana. Nā, ko te hekenga iho o te kāpura i te Atua i te rangi, pau ake rātou. 10 Nā, ko te rēwera i whakapōhēhē nei i a rātou, pangā ana ia ki te roto kāpura whānāriki, ki te wāhi kei reira nei te kararehe me te poropiti teka, ā, ka whakamamaetia rātou i te ao, i te pō, ake ake.
