Lucas 15

20 Nā, ka whaka­tika ia, ā, haere ana ki tōna matua.

"Nā, i a ia anō i tawhiti, ka kite tōna matua i a ia, ka aroha, ka oma, hinga iho ki tōna kakī kihi ana i a ia. 21 Nā, ko te mea­tanga a te tama ki a ia, ‘E pā, kua hara ahau ki te rangi, ki tōu aro­aro anō, ā, heoi anō tikanga kia kīa ahau he tama nāu.’ 22 Nā, ka mea te matua ki āna pono­nga, ‘Kia hohoro te mau mai i te kākahu pai rawa, ā, ka whaka­kākahu ki a ia; hōmai hoki he mō­whiti mō tōna ringa, he hū hoki mō ōna wae­wae. 23 Kawea mai anō te kūao kau, te mea whāngai, patua, kia kai tātou, kia koa te ngākau.
