18 Nā, ka kawea mai e ētahi tāngata i runga i te moenga tētahi tangata, he pararūtiki; mea noa rātou kia kawea ia ki roto, kia whakatakotoria ki tōna aroaro. 19 Ā, i te korenga e kitea e rātou he huarahi hei kawenga mai i a ia ki roto, i te mano o te tangata, ka kakea te whare, ā, tukua iho ana ia rā ngā taera, me te moenga anō, ki waenganui, ki te aroaro o Īhu.
20 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tō rātou whakapono, ka mea ia ki a ia, "E hoa, ka oti ōu hara te muru."
21 Nā, ka anga, ka whakaaroaro ngā karaipi me ngā Parihi, ka mea, "Ko wai tēnei nāna ngā kupu kohukohu? Ko wai hei muru hara? Ko te Atua anake."
22 Otirā, i mōhio a Īhu ki ā rātou whakaaroaronga, ka oho, ka mea ki a rātou, "He aha tā koutou e whakaaroaro nā i roto i ō koutou ngākau? 23 Ko tēhea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, haere’? 24 Otiia, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua." Ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, "Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere ki tōu whare."
25 Nā, whakatika tonu ake ia i tō rātou aroaro, tangohia ake ana te mea i takoto ai ia, haere ana ki tōna whare, me te whakakorōria i te Atua.
