1 Nā, e haere tahi atu ana a Pita rāua ko Hoani ki te teme­para i te hāora īnoi, i te iwa o ngā hāora. 2 Nā, ka kawea mai tētahi tangata, he kopa nō te kōpū mai anō o tōna whaea, he mea whaka­takoto i ngā rā katoa ki te kūwaha o te teme­para i huaina nei ko Āta­ahua, ki te tono mea māna i te hunga e tomo ana ki te teme­para. 3 Nō tōna kite­nga i a Pita rāua ko Hoani meāke tomo ki te teme­para, ka tono ia i tētahi mea māna. 4 Nā, ka whaka­mau atu ngā kanohi o Pita rāua ko Hoani ki a ia, ka mea, "Ti­tiro mai ki a māua." 5 Ka whaka­rongo ia ki a rāua, hua noa e riro mai tētahi mea a rāua māna. 6 Anō rā ko Pita, "Ko te hiriwa me te kōura kāhore i ahau; ko te mea ia kei ahau, māku tēnā e hoatu ki a koe; i runga i te ingoa o Īhu Karaiti o Nahareta, whaka­tika, haere." 7 Kātahi ia ka hopu i tōna ringa matau ka whaka­ara ake i a ia. I reira tonu kua whai kaha ōna wae­wae me ngā pona. 8 Ā, ko tōna mawhiti­tanga ake, ka tū, ka tīmata te haere, tomo tahi ana me rāua ki te teme­para, e haere ana, tūpeke ana, e whaka­moe­miti ana ki te Atua. 9 Ā, i kite te iwi katoa i a ia e haere ana, e whaka­moe­miti ana ki te Atua. 10 Kātahi rātou ka mōhio ki a ia, ko ia anō tērā i noho rā ki te tatau Āta­ahua o te teme­para, tono mea ai māna; nā, nui atu tō rātou mīharo me te ihi­ihi ki taua mea i pā ki a ia.

11 I a ia e pupuri ana ki a Pita rāua ko Hoani, ka oma atu te iwi katoa ki a rātou i te whaka­mahau i huaina nei ko tā Horomona, nui rawa te whaka­mīharo. 12 Ā, i te kite­nga o Pita, ka whai kupu atu ia ki te iwi, "E ngā tāngata o Īharaira, he aha tā koutou e mīharo nei ki tēnei tangata? He aha hoki koutou ka whaka­mau ai te ti­tiro ki a māua, me te mea he mana nō māua ake he ngākau kara­kia rānei i meatia ai ia kia haere? 13 Nā te Atua o Āperahama, o Īhaka, o Hākopa, nā te Atua o ō tātou mātua, i whaka­korōria tāna Tama a Īhu; ko tā koutou i tuku nā, i whaka­kāhore nā i te aro­aro o Pirato, kua oti rā i a ia kia tukua ia. 14 Otirā, whaka­kāhore­tia ana e koutou te Mea Tapu, te Mea Tika, tonoa ana ko te tangata kōhuru kia hōmai ki a koutou. 15 Patua ana hoki e koutou te Take o te Ora; kua whaka­ara­hia nei ia e te Atua i te hunga mate, ko mātou nei ōna kai­whaka­atu. 16 Ā, nā te whaka­pono ki tōna ingoa i meinga ai e tōna ingoa tēnei tangata kia kaha, e kite nei, e mātau nei koutou; āe rā, ko te whaka­pono ki a ia te mea nāna i hoatu tēnei ora nui ki tēnei i te aro­aro o koutou katoa.

17 "Nā, e ōku tēina, e mahara ana ahau nā te kūware tēnā mahi a koutou, pērā i tā ō koutou ranga­tira. 18 Engari, ko ngā mea a te Atua i whaka­kitea i mua e te māngai o ngā poro­piti katoa, mō tāna Karaiti kia whaka­mamae­tia, kua rite ēnei i a ia. 19 Nō reira, rīpe­netā, ā, tahuri mai anō koutou, kia murua ai ō koutou hara, kia puta mai ai i te aro­aro o te Ariki he wā whaka­hauora. 20 Ā, kia tonoa mai ai e ia te Karaiti i whaka­ritea nei mō koutou, arā a Īhu. 21 Kua takoto nei te tikanga kia noho ia ki te rangi ā taea noatia ngā wā o te whaka­hoki­nga mai o ngā mea katoa, i kōrero ai te Atua rā te māngai o āna poro­piti tapu nō te tīma­tanga mai anō o te ao. 22 I mea rā hoki a Mohi, ‘Mā te Ariki, mā te Atua, e whaka­ara ake he poro­piti mō koutou i roto i ō koutou tēina, he pēnei anō me ahau. Ko ia tā koutou e whaka­rongo ai i ngā mea katoa e mea ai ia ki a koutou. 23 Ā taua wā, ko ngā wairua katoa e kore e whaka­rongo ki taua poro­piti, ka whaka­matea rawa­tia i roto i te iwi.’ 24 Āe rā, ko ngā poro­piti katoa o Hamuera iho anō, tae mai ki ō muri nei, ko te hunga katoa i kōrero, i whaka­atu anō hoki rātou i ngā rā nei. 25 Ko koutou aua tama a ngā poro­piti, a te kawe­nata hoki i whaka­takoto­ria e te Atua ki ō koutou mātua, i mea rā ia ki a Āperahama, ‘Mā tōu uri ka manaaki­tia ai ngā hapū katoa o te ao.’ 26 Mō koutou kē hoki i te tua­tahi, i tāna whaka­aranga ake ai i tāna Tama, i te tono­nga mai nei a te Atua i a ia ki a koutou hei manaaki i a koutou, hei i whaka­tahuri i tēnei, i tēnei o koutou i ō koutou kino."
