Lucas 1

11 Ā, ka puta mai ki a ia tētahi anahera a te Ariki e tū ana i te taha matau o te āta whakakakara. 12 Nā, ka ohorere a Hakaraia i tōna kitenga i a ia, ā, tau ana te wehi ki a ia. 13 Otirā, ka mea te anahera ki a ia, "Kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia. Kua rangona hoki tāu īnoi, ā, ka whānau i tāu wahine, i a Erihāpeti, he tama māu, ā, ka huaina e koe tōna ingoa ko Hoani. 14 Ā, ka whiwhi koe i te hari me te harakoa; ā, he tokomaha hoki e hari i tōna whānautanga. 15 E nui hoki ia i te aroaro o te Atua. E kore ia e inu i te wāina, i te wai whakahaurangi rānei; ā, ka kī ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai anō o te kōpū o tōna whaea. 16 He tokomaha anō hoki o ngā tama a Īharaira ka whakatahuritia e ia ki te Ariki, ki tō rātou Atua. 17 Ka haere anō ia i tōna aroaro i runga i te wairua, i te mana, o Irāia, hei whakatahuri i ngā ngākau o ngā mātua ki ngā tamariki, i te hunga whakatuturi ki ngā whakaaro o te hunga tika; hei whakarite mō te Ariki i tētahi iwi i āta takā mōna."
