Lucas 1

11 Ā, ka puta mai ki a ia tētahi ana­hera a te Ariki e tū ana i te taha matau o te āta whaka­kakara. 12 Nā, ka oho­rere a Hakaraia i tōna kite­nga i a ia, ā, tau ana te wehi ki a ia. 13 Otirā, ka mea te ana­hera ki a ia, "Kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia. Kua rangona hoki tāu īnoi, ā, ka whānau i tāu wahine, i a Erihāpeti, he tama māu, ā, ka huaina e koe tōna ingoa ko Hoani. 14 Ā, ka whi­whi koe i te hari me te hara­koa; ā, he toko­maha hoki e hari i tōna whānau­tanga. 15 E nui hoki ia i te aro­aro o te Atua. E kore ia e inu i te wāina, i te wai whaka­hau­rangi rānei; ā, ka kī ia i te Wairua Tapu, mai anō o te kōpū o tōna whaea. 16 He toko­maha anō hoki o ngā tama a Īharaira ka whaka­tahuri­tia e ia ki te Ariki, ki tō rātou Atua. 17 Ka haere anō ia i tōna aro­aro i runga i te wairua, i te mana, o Irāia, hei whaka­tahuri i ngā ngākau o ngā mātua ki ngā tama­riki, i te hunga whaka­tuturi ki ngā whaka­aro o te hunga tika; hei whaka­rite mō te Ariki i tētahi iwi i āta takā mōna."
