WHAKAKITENGA 20

Ngā Tau Kotahi Mano

1 Ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi ana­hera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te kī o te poka tōrere, me tētahi meka­meka nui i tōna ringa­ringa. 2 Nā, ka mau ia ki te tara­kona, ki te nākahi ona­mata, ko te Rēwera nei ia, ko Hātana hoki, ka here­here i a ia kotahi mano ngā tau. 3 Ka maka i a ia ki te poka tōrere, uakina ana, whaka­piri rawa te hīri ki runga ki a ia, kei whaka­pōhēhē ia i ngā tauiwi i muri iho, kia taka rā anō ngā tau kotahi mano, ā muri iho i ēnei mea me wewete ia, he tāima iti kau ia.

4 I kite anō ahau i ngā torōna, e noho ana hoki rātou i runga, i hoatu anō hoki te whaka­wā ki a rātou. I ngā wairua hoki o te hunga i pōutoa mō te whaka­atu­ranga i a Īhu, mō te kupu hoki a te Atua, te hunga kāhore i koro­piko ki te kararehe, ki tōna whaka­pakoko rānei, kīhai hoki i meatia te tohu ki ō rātou rae, ki ō rātou ringa­ringa. Nā, ka ora rātou, ka kīngi tahi me te Karaiti, kotahi mano tau. 5 (Kīhai ia i ora ake te toenga o ngā tū­pā­paku, ā, taka noa ngā tau kotahi mano.) Ko te aranga tua­tahi tēnei. 6 Hari tonu, tapu tonu te tangata he wāhi nei tōna i te aranga tua­tahi. E kore te mate­nga tuarua e whai mana ki a rātou; engari hei tohu­nga rātou mā te Atua, mā te Karaiti hoki, ā, kotahi mano ngā tau e kīngi tahi ai rātou me ia.

Te Hinganga o Hātana

7 Ā, nō ka pahemo ngā tau kotahi mano, ka wete­kina a Hātana i roto i tōna whare here­here. 8 Ā, ka haere ia ki te whaka­pōhēhē i ngā tauiwi i ngā pito e whā o te whenua, i a Koka rāua ko Makoka, e hui­hui ai rātou ki te taua; ko te toko­maha o rātou rite tonu ki te onepū o te moana. 9 Nā, haere ana rātou ki te whānui o te whenua, kara­potia ana e rātou te nohoa­nga o te hunga tapu, me te pā e aroha­ina ana. Nā, ko te heke­nga iho o te kāpura i te Atua i te rangi, pau ake rātou. 10 Nā, ko te rēwera i whaka­pōhēhē nei i a rātou, pangā ana ia ki te roto kāpura whānā­riki, ki te wāhi kei reira nei te kararehe me te poro­piti teka, ā, ka whaka­mamae­tia rātou i te ao, i te pō, ake ake.
