Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

34  Na Rawiri, i tona ahua i rere ke ra i te aroaro o Apimereke; na pei ana ia, a haere ana. Ka whakapaingia e ahau a Ihowa i nga wa katoa; he whakamoemiti tonu ta toku mangai ki a ia.

² Ka whakamanamana toku wairua ki a Ihowa: ka rongo te hunga mahaki, a ka hari.

³ Kia whakanui tahi tatou i a Ihowa, kia whakateitei tahi hoki i tona ingoa.

⁴ I rapu ahau i a Ihowa, a rongo mai ana ia ki ahau, whakaorangia ana ahau e ia i oku wehi katoa.

⁵ I titiro ratou ki a ia, a kua marama: a kahore rawa he whakama o o ratou mata.

⁶ I karanga tenei tangata iti, a whakarongo ana a Ihowa, whakaora ana i a ia i ona whakapawera katoa.

⁷ E noho ana te anahera a Ihowa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, o te hunga e wehi ana i a ia, a e whakaora ana i a ratou.

⁸ Whakamatauria, kia kite ai koutou i te pai o Ihowa: ka hari te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.

¹⁵ Katahi a Huhai ka mea ki nga tohunga, ki a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, Ko nga whakaaro tenei o Ahitopere ki a Apoharama ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira; ko oku whakaaro hoki enei i whakatakoto atu nei.

¹⁶ Na kia hohoro te tono tangata ki te whakaatu ki a Rawiri. Mea atu, Kaua e moe i tenei po ki nga kauanga i te koraha; engari kia hohoro te whiti atu, kei horomia ake te kingi me tona nuinga katoa.

¹⁷ Na i Enerokere a Honatana raua ko Ahimaata e tatari ana; kihai hoki i ahei kia kitea e haere mai ana ki te pa: na ka haere tetahi pononga wahine, ka whakaatu ki a raua, a haere ana raua ki te whakaatu ki a Kingi Rawiri.

¹⁸ Otiia i kitea raua e tetahi taitamariki, a korerotia atu ana e ia ki a Apoharama: heoi hohoro tonu raua, a ka tae ki te whare o tetahi tangata i Pahurimi. Na he poka wai tana i tona marae, a heke iho ana raua ki reira.

¹⁹ Na ka tikina tetahi hipoki e te wahine, taupokina ana e ia ki te poka, na horahia ana e ia he witi tuki ki runga, a kihai taua mea i mohiotia.

²⁰ Na ka tae nga tangata a Apoharama ki te wahine, ki te whare, ka mea, Kei hea a Ahimaata raua ko Honatana? Na ka mea te wahine ki a ratou, Kua whiti raua i te awa wai. Na ka rapu ratou, a kihai i kitea, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama.

²¹ A, i muri i to ratou haerenga, ka piki ake raua i roto i te poka, a haere ana, whakaatu ana ki a Kingi Rawiri; i mea ki a Rawiri, Whakatika, hohoro koutou te whiti atu i te wai nei; ko te whakaaro hoki tenei o Ahitopere mo koutou.

²² Katahi ka whakatika a Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga katoa, a whiti ana i Horano: ao rawa ake te ra, kihai tetahi i kore te whiti i Horano.

²³ A, i te kitenga o Ahitopere kihai i meatia tana i whakaaro ai, whakanohoia ana e ia tana kaihe, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki tona whare ki tona pa, na kei te whakariterite i nga mea o tona whare, tarona ana i a ia, a mate ake, tanumia iho ki te tanumanga o tona papa.

²⁴ Katahi ka haere a Rawiri ki Mahanaima. A i whiti ano a Apoharama i Horano me nga tangata katoa o Iharaira.

²⁵ A ka meatia a Amaha e Apoharama hei whakakapi mo Ioapa, hei rangatira mo te ope: na he tama a Amaha na tetahi tangata, ko Itira tona ingoa, no Iharaira, i haere nei ki roto, ki a Apikaira tamahine a Nahaha, ki te teina o Teruia whaea o Ioapa.

²⁶ Na noho ana a Iharaira ratou ko Apoharama ki te whenua o Kireara.

²⁷ A, no te taenga o Rawiri ki Mahanaima, ka kawea mai e Hopi tama a Nahaha o Rapa o nga tama a Amona, e Makiri tama a Amiere o Rotepara, ratou ko Paratirai Kireari o Rokerimi,

²⁸ He moenga, he peihana, he oko oneone, he witi, he parei, he paraoa, he kanga pahuhu, he pini, he pi, me etahi atu mea pahuhu,

²⁹ He honi, he pata, he hipi, me te tiihi, hei kai ma Rawiri ratou ko tona nuinga: i mea hoki ratou, E matekai ana te iwi, e ngenge ana, e matewai ana i te koraha.

6  E oku teina, ahakoa ra i rokohanga te tangata e tetahi he, ma koutou, ma te hunga i te Wairua, e whakaara ake ia i runga i te wairua mahaki; me te titiro iho ano ki a koe, kei whakamatautauria hoki ko koe.

² Pikaua e tetahi nga whakataimaha o tetahi, hei whakarite i ta te Karaiti ture.

³ Ki te mahara hoki tetahi tangata ki a ia ano he mea nui ia, i te mea he kore noa iho ia, e nuka ana ia ki a ia ano.

⁴ Engari ma ia tangata e whakamatau tana ake mahi, ka ai ai he mea hei whakamanamanatanga mona ki tana anake, kahore ki ta tetahi atu.

⁵ Ka riro hoki ma ia tangata e pikau tana kawenga.

⁶ Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kaiwhakaako ki nga mea pai katoa.

⁷ Kei whakapohehetia koutou; kahore te Atua e tinihangatia: ko ta te tangata hoki e rui ai, ko tena tana e kokoti ai.

⁸ Ko te tangata hoki e rui ana, he whakaaro ki tona kikokiko, he pirau tana e kokoti ai o te kikokiko; ko te tangata ia e rui ana, he whakaaro ki te Wairua, ko te ora tonu tana e kokoti ai o te Wairua.

⁹ A kaua tatou e ngakaukore ki te mahi i te pai: tena tona wa e rite ai ka kokoti tatou ki te kahore tatou e ngoikore.

¹⁰ Na reira, i te mea e whai takiwa ana tatou, kia mahi tatou i te pai ki nga tangata katoa, a tera noa ake ki te hunga o te whare o te whakapono.
