Lucas 2

25 Nā, i Hiruhārama tētahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whaka­aro, e tatari ana ki te whaka­hari­nga o Īharaira, kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia. 26 Nā, kua whaka­mahara­tia ia e te Wairua Tapu, e kore ia e kite i te mate, kia kite rā anō ia i tā te Ariki Karaiti. 27 Nā, ka haere ia ki te teme­para, he mea­tanga nā te Wairua; ā, i ngā mātua e mau ana i te tama­iti, i a Īhu, kia meatia ai e rāua ki a ia tā te ture i whaka­rite ai, 28 ka tango ia i a ia ki ōna ringa, ka whaka­pai ki te Atua, ka mea:

29 "Kātahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tāu pono­nga

kia haere i runga i te rangi­mārie, ka pērā me tāu i kōrero ai.

30 Ka kite nei hoki ōku kanohi i tāu whaka­ora­nga, 31 ka whaka­takoto­ria nei e koe ki te aro­aro o ngā iwi katoa;

32 hei whaka­mārama e kite ai ngā tauiwi,

hei korōria hoki mō tāu iwi, mō Īharaira."
