Te Matenga o Raharuhi

1 Nā, kei te mate tētahi tangata a Raharuhi o Petani, te kāinga o Meri rāua ko tōna tuakana, ko Māta. 2 Ko taua Meri tēnei nāna nei i whakawahi te Ariki ki te hinu, i muru hoki i ōna waewae ki ōna makawe; ā, he tungāne nōna a Raharuhi i mate nei. 3 Nā, ka tono tāngata ngā tuāhine ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, tēnei kei te mate tāu tangata e aroha nei."

4 I te rongonga ia o Īhu, ka mea ia, "Ehara tēnei i te mate e mate rawa ai ia, engari, hei mea mō te korōria o te Atua; mā tēnei hoki ka whai korōria ai te Tama a te Atua." 5 Nā, i aroha a Īhu ki a Māta rāua ko tōna teina, ki a Raharuhi hoki. 6 Ā, nō ka rongo ia ki tōna matenga, e rua ōna rā i noho ai ki taua wāhi rā anō.

7 Muri iho i tēnei, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, "Tātou ka haere anō ki Hūria."

8 Ka mea ngā ākonga ki a ia, "E te Kaiwhakaako, i whai ngā Hūrai i mua tata ake nei kia ākina koe ki te kōhatu; ā, e haere atu ana koe ki reira?"

9 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "He teka ianei tekau mā rua ngā hāora o te rā? I te haere tētahi i te awatea, e kore ia e tūtuki, nō te mea e kite ana ia i te mārama o tēnei ao. 10 Tēnā, ka haere tētahi i te pō, ka tūtuki ia, nō te mea kāhore he mārama roto i a ia."

11 Ka kōrerotia ēnei mea e ia, nā, muri iho ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Kei te moe tō tātou hoa a Raharuhi, otiia, ka haere ahau ki te whakaara i a ia i te moe."

12 Nā, ko te meatanga a āna ākonga, "E te Ariki, ki te mea kei te moe ia, tērā ia e ora." 13 Kāhore, ko tōna matenga tā Īhu i kōrero ai; ko rātou ia i mahara, i kōrero ia mō te takotoranga ina moe.

14 Kātahi, ka mea nui a Īhu ki a rātou, "Kua mate a Raharuhi.
