1 Ā, i a ia e haere atu ana i te temepara, ka mea tētahi o āna ākonga ki a ia, "E te Kaiwhakaako, nanā, te tū o ngā kōhatu, te tū o ngā whare!"

2 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "Ka kite koe i ēnei whare nunui? E kore tētahi kōhatu e waiho i konei i runga ake i tētahi kōhatu, engari, ka whakahoroa."

3 Ā, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Ōriwa i te ritenga atu o te temepara, ka ui puku ki a ia a Pita, a Hēmi, a Hoani, a Anaru, 4 "Kōrerotia mai ki a mātou, ko āhea ēnei mea, ā, he aha te tohu ina tata ēnei mea katoa te rite?"

5 Nā, ka anga ia, ka kōrero ki a rātou, "Kia tūpato kei māmingatia koutou e te tangata. 6 He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i tōku ingoa, e mea, ‘Ko ahau ia!’ ā, he tokomaha e māmingatia. 7 E rongo koutou ki ngā pakanga, ki ngā hau pakanga, kei ohorere. Kua takoto hoki he putanga mō aua mea; taihoa rawa ia te mutunga. 8 Ka whakatika hoki tētahi iwi ki tētahi iwi, tētahi rangatiratanga ki tētahi rangatiratanga; ā, he tini ngā wāhi e puta ai he rū; ka puta anō hoki he pō matekai. Ko te tīmatanga ēnei o ngā mamae.

9 "Nā, kia tūpato ki a koutou. Ka tukua hoki koutou ki ngā rūnanga; ka whiua koutou i roto i ngā whare karakia; ā, ka whakatūria koutou ki te aroaro o ngā kāwana, o ngā kīngi, mō te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a rātou. 10 Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia mātua kauwhautia te rongopai ki ngā tauiwi katoa. 11 Ina, ārahina koutou ki te whakawā, ā, ka tukua atu, kaua e mānukanuka wawe ki tā koutou e kōrero ai: engari, ko te mea e hoatu ki a koutou i taua hāora, ko tēnā tā koutou e kōrero ai: ehara hoki i te mea mā koutou ngā kōrero, engari, mā te Wairua Tapu. 12 Nā, ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tamaiti hoki e te pāpā; ā, ka whakatika ngā tamariki ki ngā mātua, ka mea kia whakamatea. 13 Ā, ka kinongia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa, he mea mō tōku ingoa. Ko te tangata ia e ū ana ā taea noatia te mutunga, ko ia e ora."

14 "Ā, ki te kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro e tū ana i te wāhi e kore e tika, kia mātau te kaititiro pukapuka, ko reira me rere te hunga i Hūria ki ngā maunga. 15 Ko te tangata hoki i runga i te whare kaua e heke iho ki roto ki te whare, kaua hoki e tomo ki te tiki i tētahi mea i roto i tōna whare. 16 Kaua anō te tangata i te māra e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tōna kākahu. 17 Auē te mate mō te hunga e hapū ana, mō ngā mea hoki e whāngai ana ki te ū, i aua rā 18 Mā koutou ia e īnoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hōtoke. 19 He whakapāwera hoki aua rā, kāhore ōna rite o te orokohanganga rā anō i hangā nei e te Atua, ā, mohoa noa nei, kāhore hoki he pērā ā muri ake nei. 20 Me i kāhore hoki aua rā i poroa i waenga e te Ariki, e kore tētahi kikokiko e ora. Otirā, ka whakaaroa te hunga whiriwhiri i whiriwhiria e ia, ā, poroa ana aua rā i waenga.

21 "Ki te mea tētahi ki a koutou i reira, ‘Nā, tēnei a te Karaiti.’ Nā, ‘Tērā!’ kaua e whakaponohia. 22 E whakatika hoki ngā Karaiti teka, me ngā poropiti teka, ka whakaatu i ngā tohu me ngā mea whakamīharo, ā, me i taea, ka māmingatia e rātou te hunga whiriwhiri. 23 Kia tūpato rā koutou. Nā, kua kōrerotia wawetia nei e ahau ngā mea katoa ki a koutou."

24 "Nā, i aua rā, i muri iho i taua whakapāwera,

ka whakapōuritia te rā, e kore hoki e titi te atarau,

25 ka taka iho ngā whetū o te rangi,

ka ngāueue ngā mea kaha o ngā rangi.

26 "Nā, ko reira kitea ai te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i ngā kapua, me te kaha nui, me te korōria. 27 Ko reira anō ia tono ai i āna anahera, ā, ka huihuia ana i whiriwhiri ai i ngā hau e whā, i te pito o te whenua tae noa ki te pito o te rangi."

28 "Nā, kia ākona koutou e te piki ki tētahi kupu whakarite. I tōna manga e ngāwari ana, e puta ana hoki ngā rau, ka mōhio koutou ka tata te raumati. 29 Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i ēnei mea e puta mai ana, ka mātau ka tata ia, kei ngā kūwaha. 30 He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore tēnei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta rā anō ēnei mea katoa. 31 Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko āku kupu ia e kore e pahemo."

32 "Otiia, kāhore tētahi tangata e mātau ki taua rā, ki taua hāora, kāhore ngā anahera o te rangi, kāhore te Tama, ko te Matua anake. 33 Kia tūpato, kia mataara, me te īnoi anō. Kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā, ko āhea rānei. 34 Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, mahue iho i a ia tōna whare, ā, tukua iho e ia ngā tikanga ki āna pononga, tāna mahi mā tētahi, mā tētahi, ka whakahau iho hoki ki te kaitiaki tatau kia mataara.

35 "Āe rā, kia mataara: kāhore hoki koutou e mātau ki te wā e haere mai ai te rangatira o te whare, ko te ahiahi, ko waenganui pō rānei, ko te tangihanga o te heihei, ko te atatū rānei; 36 kei puta whakarere mai, ka rokohanga koutou e ia e moe ana. 37 Nā, ko tāku ka mea atu nei ki a koutou, e meatia ana anō ki te katoa. ‘Kia mataara!’ "
