25 In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It’s a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid."

28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."

29 He said, "Come!"

Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

25 A i te wha o nga mataaratanga o te po ka haere a Ihu ki a ratou, i haere maori i runga i te moana.

26 A, i te kitenga o nga akonga i a ia e haere ana i runga i te moana, ka ihiihi, ka mea, He wairua; ka aue i te wehi.

27 Na kua hohoro te korero a Ihu ki a ratou, te mea, Kia manawanui, ko ahau tenei; aua e wehi.

28 Na ka whakahoki a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, ki te mea ko koe tena, kiia mai ahau kia haere atu ki a koe i runga i te wai.

29 Na ka mea ia, Haere mai. A ka marere atu a Pita i te kaipuke, ka haere i runga i te wai, kia tae ai ki a Ihu.

30 Otira ka kite ia i te hau e kaha ana, ka wehi; a ka timata te totohu, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Ahau, e te Ariki, whakaorangia.
