Lucas 18

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu tētahi Tangata Matapō Tono Mea

35 Ā, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tērā tētahi matapō e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana māna. 36 Ā, i tōna rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, "He aha tēnei?"

37 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ko Īhu o Nahareta e haere ana."

38 Kātahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, "E Īhu, e te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki ahau."

39 Nā, ka rīria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku; heoi rahi noa ake tāna karanga, "E te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki ahau."

40 Nā, ka tū a Īhu, ka mea kia ārahina mai ki a ia; ā, nō ka tata, ka ui ki a ia, 41 ka mea, "Kia ahatia koe e ahau?"

Ka mea ia, "E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau."

42 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Titiro; nā tōu whakapono koe i whakaora."

43 Ā, titiro tonu ake ia, ā, aru ana i a ia, me te whakakorōria i te Atua; ā, nō te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.
