Mateus 4

Te Whakamātautau o Īhu

1 Me i reira ka ārahina a Īhu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamātautauria e te rēwera. 2 Ā, nō ka whā tekau ngā rā, ka whā tekau ngā pō i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai. 3 Nā, ka tae te kaiwhakamātautau ki a ia, ka mea, "Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kīia iho kia meinga ēnei kōhatu hei taro."

4 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, "Kua oti te tuhituhi,

‘E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari,

i ngā kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te māngai o te Atua.’ "

5 Me i reira, ka kawe te rēwera i a ia ki te pā tapu, ā, whakatūria ana ia ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, 6 ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu ki raro; kua oti hoki te tuhituhi:

‘Ka kōrerotia iho koe e ia ki āna anahera;

mā rātou koe e hiki ake ki ō rātou ringa,

kei tūtuki tōu waewae ki te kōhatu.’ "

7 Mea atu ana a Īhu ki a ia, "Ka oti anō hoki te tuhituhi, ‘Kaua e whakamātautau ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua.’ "

8 Ka kawe anō te rēwera i a ia ki runga ki tētahi maunga tiketike rawa, ā, whakakitea ana ki a ia ngā rangatiratanga katoa o te ao, me te korōria o aua mea; 9 ā, mea ana ki a ia, "Ko ēnei mea katoa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki te tāpapa koe, ki te koropiko ki ahau."

10 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Haere atu, e Hātana! Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi;

‘Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua,

me mahi anō ki a ia anake.’ "

11 Nā, ka mahue ia i te rēwera, ā, ka haere mai ngā anahera ka mahi mea māna.
