João 13

Ka Horoia e Īhu ngā Waewae o Āna Ākonga

1 Nā, i mua ake o te Hākari o te Kapenga, ka mahara a Īhu kua taka tōna wā e haere atu ai ia i tēnei ao ki te Matua; aroha ana ia ki ōna o te ao nei, arohaina ana rātou taea noatia te mutunga.

2 Ā, i te mutunga o te hapa, kua whakamaharatia noatia ake anō hoki e te rēwera te ngākau o Hūrā Ikariote, tama a Haimona, kia tukua ia. 3 Ā, ka mahara a Īhu kua oti ngā mea katoa te hōmai e te Matua ki ōna ringa, i haere mai ia i te Atua, e hoki atu ana ki te Atua; 4 ka whakatika ia i te hapa, ka whakarere i ōna kākahu, ka mau ki te tauera, ka whītiki i a ia. 5 Me i reira, ka ringihia e ia he wai ki te peihana, ā, ka anga ka horoi i ngā waewae o ngā ākonga, ka muru hoki ki te tauera i whītikiria ai ia.

6 Ā, ka tae ia ki a Haimona Pita, ka mea tērā ki a ia, "E te Ariki, e horoi ana koe i ōku waewae?"

7 Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "E kore koe e mātau āianei ki tāku e mea nei; otirā, e mātau koe ā mua ake nei."

8 Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, "E kore rawa koe e horoi i ōku waewae."

Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te kore ahau e horoi i a koe, kāhore āu wāhi i roto i ahau."

9 Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, "E te Ariki, aua rā ko ōku waewae anake, engari, ko ōku ringa me tōku mātenga."

10 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te mea i te kaukau tētahi, kāhore atu he aha māna, ko te horoi anake i ōna waewae, e mā katoa ana hoki ia. E mā ana koutou, otirā kāhore katoa." 11 I mōhio hoki ia ki te tangata e tukua ai ia; koia ia i mea ai, "Kāhore koutou katoa i mā."

12 Ā, ka oti ō rātou waewae te horoi, ka mau ia ki ōna kākahu, ka noho anō, nā, ka mea ki a rātou, "E mātau ana i rānei koutou ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou? 13 E karangatia ana ahau e koutou, ‘E te Kaiwhakaako, E te Ariki,’ ā, he tika tā koutou kōrero, ko ahau hoki ia. 14 Nā, kua horoia nei ō koutou waewae e ahau, e tō koutou Ariki, e tō koutou Kaiwhakaako me horoi anō hoki e koutou ngā waewae o tētahi, o tētahi o koutou. 15 Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau he tauira mō koutou, kia rite ai tā koutou mahi ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou. 16 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore te pononga e nui ake i tōna rangatira; e kore anō te tangata i tonoa e nui atu i tōna kaitono. 17 Ki te mātau koutou ki ēnei mea, ka koa ki te meatia e koutou.
