RUKA 9

Ka Tonoa e Īhu ngā Ākonga Tekau mā rua

1 Nā, ka karanga­tia e ia te tekau mā rua, ka hoatu ki a rātou he kaha, he mana, e peia ai ngā rēwera katoa, e ora ai ngā mate. 2 Ā, tonoa ana rātou e ia ki te kauwhau i te ranga­tira­tanga o te Atua, ki te whaka­ora hoki i te hunga e mate ana. 3 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Kaua tētahi mea e mauria ki te ara, kaua he toko­toko, kaua he pūtea, kaua he taro, kaua he moni; kaua anō e taki­rua­tia he koti. 4 Ā, ka tomo koutou ki tētahi whare, hei reira noho ai, ā, haere noa i reira. 5 Ā, ki te kāhore ētahi e manako ki a koutou, ina haere atu koutou i taua pā, ruia atu te puehu o ō koutou wae­wae, hei mea whaka­atu ki a rātou."

6 Nā, ko tō rātou mawehe­tanga atu, ka hāere­erea e rātou ngā kāinga, me te kauwhau i te rongo­pai, me te whaka­ora i ngā wāhi katoa.
