Hiperu 10:3-10

3 I aua patu­nga tapu ia e hoki­hoki ana te mahara ki ngā hara i ia tau, i ia tau. 4 E kore hoki e tau mā ngā toto o ngā pūru, o ngā koati e whaka­kāhore ngā hara.

5 Nā reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia:

"Kīhai i mate­nui­tia e koe te patu­nga tapu me te whaka­here,

kua rite mai i a koe he tinana mōku.

6 Kīhai koe i āhua­reka ki ngā tahu­nga tinana,

ki ngā whaka­here hara.

7 Kātahi ahau ka mea atu, ‘Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei,

kei roto i te ūpoko o te puka­puka te tuhi­tuhi­nga mōku,

ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua.’ "

8 I tāna mea­tanga i mua ake, "Kīhai koe i mate­nui ki te patu­nga tapu, ki te whaka­here, ki ngā tahu­nga tinana, ki ngā whaka­here hara, kāhore anō hoki ōu āhua­reka mai," he mea nei e tāpaea ana i runga i te ture. 9 Kātahi ia ka mea, "Tēnei ahau te haere atu nei ki te mea i tāu i pai ai, e te Atua." E tango­hia ana e ia te tua­tahi, kia whaka­tū­ria ai e ia te tuarua. 10 Nā taua pai nei i oti ai tātou te whaka­tapu, he mea­tanga nā te tāpae­nga atu kotahi o te tinana o Īhu Karaiti.
