Te Matenga o Raharuhi

1 Nā, kei te mate tētahi tangata a Raharuhi o Petani, te kāinga o Meri rāua ko tōna tua­kana, ko Māta. 2 (Ko taua Meri tēnei nāna nei i whaka­wahi te Ariki ki te hinu, i muru hoki i ōna wae­wae ki ōna makawe; ā, he tu­ngāne nōna a Raharuhi i mate nei.) 3 Nā, ka tono tāngata ngā tuā­hine ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, tēnei kei te mate tāu tangata e aroha nei."

4 I te rongo­nga ia o Īhu, ka mea ia, "Ehara tēnei i te mate e mate rawa ai ia, engari, hei mea mō te korōria o te Atua; mā tēnei hoki ka whai korōria ai te Tama a te Atua."

5 Nā, i aroha a Īhu ki a Māta rāua ko tōna teina, ki a Raharuhi hoki. 6 Ā, nō ka rongo ia ki tōna mate­nga, e rua ōna rā i noho ai ki taua wāhi rā anō. 7 Muri iho i tēnei, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, "Tātou ka haere anō ki Hūria."

8 Ka mea ngā ākonga ki a ia, "E te Kai­whaka­ako, i whai ngā Hūrai i mua tata ake nei kia ākina koe ki te kōhatu; ā, e haere atu ana koe ki reira?"

9 Ka whaka­hokia e Īhu, "He teka ianei tekau mā rua ngā hāora o te rā? I te haere tētahi i te awa­tea, e kore ia e tūtuki, nō te mea e kite ana ia i te mārama o tēnei ao. 10 Tēnā, ka haere tētahi i te pō, ka tūtuki ia, nō te mea kāhore he mārama roto i a ia." 11 Ka kōrero­tia ēnei mea e ia, nā, muri iho ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Kei te moe tō tātou hoa a Raharuhi, otiia, ka haere ahau ki te whaka­ara i a ia i te moe."

12 Nā, ko te mea­tanga a āna ākonga, "E te Ariki, ki te mea kei te moe ia, tērā ia e ora."

13 Kāhore, ko tōna mate­nga tā Īhu i kōrero ai; ko rātou ia i mahara, i kōrero ia mō te takoto­ranga ina moe. 14 Kātahi, ka mea nui a Īhu ki a rātou, "Kua mate a Raharuhi.
