MATIU 20

He Īnoi a tētahi Whaea

20 Me i reira ka tae ki a ia te whaea o ngā tama a Heperi, rātou ko āna tama, ā, ka koropiko, ka īnoi ki tētahi mea i a ia.

21 Nā, ka mea ia ki a ia, "He hiahia aha tōu?"

Ka mea ia ki a ia, "Whakaaetia ēnei tama tokorua āku, kia noho, tētahi ki tōu matau, tētahi ki tōu mauī, i tōu rangatiratanga."

22 Otirā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, "Kāhore kōrua e mōhio ki tā kōrua e īnoi nei. E āhei rānei kōrua te inu i te kapu meāke inumia e ahau, kia iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau?"

Ka mea rāua ki a ia, "E āhei anō."

23 Ka mea ia ki a rāua, "E inu anō kōrua i tāku kapu, e iriiria ki te iriiringa e iriiria ai ahau; ko te noho ia ki tōku matau, ki tōku mauī, ehara i ahau māna e hoatu, engari, ka riro i te hunga i whakaritea nei e tōku Matua mō rātou."
