Lucas 2

25 Nā, i Hiruhārama tētahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whakaaro, e tatari ana ki te whakaharinga o Īharaira, kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia. 26 Nā, kua whakamaharatia ia e te Wairua Tapu, e kore ia e kite i te mate, kia kite rā anō ia i tā te Ariki Karaiti. 27 Nā, ka haere ia ki te temepara, he meatanga nā te Wairua; ā, i ngā mātua e mau ana i te tamaiti, i a Īhu, kia meatia ai e rāua ki a ia tā te ture i whakarite ai, 28 ka tango ia i a ia ki ōna ringa, ka whakapai ki te Atua, ka mea:

29 "Kātahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tāu pononga

kia haere i runga i te rangimārie, ka pērā me tāu i kōrero ai.

30 Ka kite nei hoki ōku kanohi i tāu whakaoranga,

31 ka whakatakotoria nei e koe ki te aroaro o ngā iwi katoa;

32 hei whakamārama e kite ai ngā tauiwi,

hei korōria hoki mō tāu iwi, mō Īharaira."
