Mateus 14

Te Matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri

1 I taua wā, ka rongo a Herora te tetaraki ki te rongo o Īhu, 2 ā, ka mea ki āna pononga, "Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tēnei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; ā, nā reira i mahi ai ngā merekara i roto i a ia."

3 I hopukia hoki a Hoani e Herora, ā, hereherea ana e ia, ā, makā ana ki te whare herehere, he mea hoki nā Herōriaha, nā te wahine a tōna tuakana, a Piripi. 4 I mea hoki a Hoani ki a ia, "E kore e tika kia riro ia i a koe." 5 Ā, i a ia e mea ana ki te whakamate i a ia, ka wehi i te mano; ki tā rātou hoki he poropiti ia.

6 Otirā, i te taenga ki te rā whānau o Herora, ka kanikani te tamāhine a Herōriaha i waenganui i a rātou, ā, ka āhuareka a Herora. 7 Kātahi ia ka mea ki a ia, oati rawa, kia hoatu ki a ia tāna mea e tono ai.

8 Nā, he mea whakakīkī ia nā tōna whaea, ka mea, "Hōmai ki konei ki ahau i runga i te rīhi te mātenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri."

9 Heoi, ka pōuri te kīngi; otiia, i whakaaro ia ki te oati, ki te hunga hoki e noho tahi ana me ia, ā, ka mea kia hoatu. 10 Nā, ka tono tāngata ia, ā, pōutoa ana te mātenga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere. 11 Ā, i mauria tōna mātenga i runga i te rīhi, i hoatu ki te kōtiro; kawea atu ana e ia ki tōna whaea. 12 Nā, ka haere āna ākonga, ka tango i te tinana, ā, tanumia ana e rātou, ā, haere ana, kōrero ana ki a Īhu.

Ka Whāngaia e Īhu te Rima Mano mā

13 Nā, i te rongonga o Īhu, ka haere atu ia i reira rā te kaipuke ki te koraha, ki te wāhi motu kē. Ā, nō ka rongo te mano, ka aru i a ia rā uta i roto i ngā pā. 14 Ā, ka puta atu a Īhu, ka kite i te huihuinga nui, ka aroha ia ki a rātou, ā, whakaorangia ana e ia ō rātou tūroro.

15 Ā, nō ka ahiahi, ka haere atu āna ākonga ki a ia, ka mea, "He wāhi koraha tēnei, kua heke noa atu te rā; tonoa atu te mano, kia haere ai rātou ki ngā kāinga, ki te hoko kai mā rātou."

16 Anō rā ko Īhu ki a rātou, "Kāhore he mea e haere ai rātou; mā koutou e hoatu he kai mā rātou."

17 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Heoi anō a mātou i konei, e rima ngā taro, e rua hoki ngā ika."

18 Nā, ka mea ia, "Mauria mai ki konei ki ahau." 19 Nā, ka mea ia ki te mano kia noho ki runga i te tarutaru, ka mau i ngā taro e rima, i ngā ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati, ā, hoatu ana e ia ngā taro ki ngā ākonga, ā, nā ngā ākonga ki te mano. 20 Ā, kai katoa ana rātou, ā, ka mākona; ā, kotahi tekau mā rua ngā kete i kohia ake e rātou, kī tonu i ngā whatiwhatinga i toe. 21 Ko te hunga i kai rā me te mea e rima mano ngā tāne, hāunga ngā wāhine me ngā tamariki.

Ka Haere a Īhu i runga i te Moana

22 Nā, akiaki tonu a Īhu i āna ākonga kia eke ki te kaipuke, kia whakawhiti i mua i a ia ki tāwāhi, i a ia e tuku ana i ngā mano kia haere. 23 Ā, ka oti te mano te tuku, ka kake ia ki runga ki te maunga ki te wāhi motu kē ki te īnoi; nā, kua ahiahi, ā, ko ia anake i reira. 24 Nā, tērā te kaipuke te ākina rā e te ngaru i waenga moana; i hē hoki te i hau.

25 Ā, i te whā o ngā mataaratanga o te pō ka haere a Īhu ki a rātou, i haere māori i runga i te moana. 26 Ā, i te kitenga o ngā ākonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, "He wairua!" Ka auē i te wehi.

27 Nā, kua hohoro te kōrero a Īhu ki a rātou, te mea, "Kia manawanui, ko ahau tēnei; aua e wehi."

28 Nā, ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tēnā, kīa mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai."

29 Nā, ka mea ia, "Haere mai." Ā, ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Īhu. 30 Otirā, ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; ā, ka tīmata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, "Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia."

31 Hohoro tonu te totoro o te ringa o Īhu, ka hopu i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, "E te tangata whakapono iti, he aha koe i ngākau rua ai?"

32 Anō ka eke rāua ki te kaipuke, mutu pū te hau. 33 Nā, ka haere mai te hunga i runga i te kaipuke, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, "He pono ko te Tama koe a te Atua!"

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu te Hunga Tūroro i Kenehareta

34 Ā, i tō rātou whitinga atu, ka tae ki te whenua o Kenehareta. 35 Ā, ka mōhio ngā tāngata o taua wāhi ki a ia, ka tono tāngata puta noa i ngā wāhi tūtata katoa o reira, hei kawe mai i ngā tūroro katoa ki a ia. 36 Ka īnoi ki a ia kia pā kau rātou ki te tāniko o tōna kākahu; ā, ora ake ngā tāngata katoa i pā.
