Mateus 21

Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama

1 Ā, nō ka tata rātou ki Hiru­hā­ra­ma, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Ōriwa, ka tonoa atu e Īhu ngā ākonga tokorua, 2 ka mea ia ki a rāua "Haere ki te kāinga e anga mai ana ki a kōrua; nā, ka kite tonu kōrua i tētahi kāihe e here ana me tāna kūao; wetekia, ka ārahi mai ki ahau. 3 Ā, ki te whai kupu tētahi tangata ki a kōrua, kī atu, ‘E mea ana te Ariki ki a rāua māna’; nā, ka tukua tonutia mai rāua e ia."

4 I meinga tēnei katoa hei whakarite mō te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai:

5 "Mea atu ki te tamāhine o Hiona,

‘Nā, ko tōu kīngi e haere mai nā ki a koe,

he ngākau māhaki tōna, e noho ana i runga i te kāihe,

i te kūao hoki, i te tama a te kāihe.’ "

6 Nā, haere ana ngā ākonga, meatia ana tā Īhu i mea ai ki a rāua: 7 ārahina mai ana te kāihe me te kūao, whārikitia ana ki runga ō rāua kākahu, ā, noho ana ia ki runga. 8 Ā, he nui rawa te hui ki te whāriki i ō rātou kākahu ki te ara; ko ētahi i tapahi manga mai i ngā rākau, ā, whārikitia ana ki te ara. 9 Ko ngā mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea, "Ohana ki te Tama a Rāwiri! Ka whakapaingia tēnei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki! Ohana i runga rawa!"

10 Ā, nō ka uru ia ki Hiruhārama, ka oho katoa te pā, ka mea, "Ko wai tēnei?"

11 Ka mea te mano, "Ko Īhu tēnei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri."
