Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁶⁸ Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,

⁶⁹ Kua whakaarahia ake e ia he haona whakaora mo tatou, i roto i te whare o Rawiri, o tana pononga;

⁷⁰ Ko tana hoki ia i korerotia e te mangai o ana poropiti tapu, no te timatanga mai ano o te ao:

⁷¹ Hei whakaora i a tatou i o tatou hoa whawhai, i te ringa ano o te hunga katoa e kino ana ki a tatou;

⁷² Hei whakaputa i te mahi tohu ki o tatou tupuna, hei whakamahara ki tana kawenata tapu;

⁷³ Ki te oati i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki to tatou tupuna,

⁷⁴ Kia tukua mai e ia ki a tatou he ora i te ringa o o tatou hoa whawhai, kia mahi wehikore tatou ki a ia,

⁷⁵ I runga i te tapu, i te tika, ki tona aroaro, i nga ra katoa e ora ai tatou.

⁷⁶ A ko koe, e tama, ka kiia ko te poropiti a te Runga Rawa: e haere hoki koe i te aroaro o te Ariki, hei whakapai i ona ara;

⁷⁷ Hei whakamatau i tana iwi ki te ora, i o ratou hara e murua ana;

⁷⁸ He mea hoki na te aroha, na te mahi tohu a to tatou Atua; na reira hoki i puta mai ai te puaotanga o runga ki a tatou,

⁷⁹ Hei whakamarama i te hunga e noho ana i te pouri, i te atarangi hoki o te mate, hei whakatika i o tatou waewae ki te huarahi o te rangimarie.

¹³ He kaha a koutou kupu ki ahau, e ai ta Ihowa. Heoi e ki na koutou, He aha ta matou korero mou?

¹⁴ Kua ki na koutou, Kahore he hua o te mahi ki te Atua: he aha hoki te rawa o ta matou pupuri i ana mea, o ta matou haere taua i te aroaro o Ihowa o nga mano?

¹⁵ Na inaianei ki ta matou, ko te hunga whakakake nga mea koa; ae ra, ko nga kaimahi i te kino te hunga e hanga ake; ae ra, e whakamatautau ana ratou i te Atua, a kua mawhiti.

¹⁶ Na, ko te hunga i wehi i a Ihowa, kei te korerorero ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; a ka tahuri a Ihowa, ka whakarongo, na ka tuhituhia he pukapuka whakamahara ki tona aroaro mo te hunga i wehi ki a Ihowa, i whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa.

¹⁷ Maku hoki ratou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, i te ra e mahia ai e ahau he taonga motuhake; ka manawapa ano ahau ki a ratou, ka pera me te tangata e manawapa ana ki tana tama e mahi ana ki a ia.

¹⁸ Ko reira ano koutou hoki ai, kite ai i te rereketanga o ta te tika, o ta te kino, o ta tera e mahi ana ki te Atua, o ta tera kahore e mahi ki a ia.

¹⁸ A tena, pehea iho? Anei ra, ahakoa tinihanga, ahakoa pono, e kauwhautia ana a te Karaiti; a e hari ana ahau ki tenei, ae ra, ka hari ano ahau.

¹⁹ E matau ana hoki ahau ka ai tenei hei whakaora moku, i a koutou na ka inoi, i te Wairua ano hoki o Ihu Karaiti ka homai;

²⁰ Ko taku hoki tenei e whakamau tonu nei, e tumanako atu nei, e kore ahau e whakama i tetahi mea, engari ka tino maia ahau, a ka pera me to nga wa katoa, ka whakanuia ano a te Karaiti aianei e toku tinana, ahakoa i te ora, ahakoa i te mate.

²¹ Ki ahau hoki ko te ora ko te Karaiti, ko te mate he taonga.

²² Ki te ora ia ahau i te kikokiko, mehemea ko te hua tenei o taku mahi, heoi kahore ahau e mohio ko te aha taku e whiriwhiri ai.

²³ E karapitia mai ana hoki ahau e nga mea e rua, he hiahia nei toku ki te haere, kia noho ai ahau ki a te Karaiti; ko te mea tino pai rawa hoki tera:

²⁴ Ko te noho ranei i te kikokiko, ko te mea pai ake hoki tena mo koutou.

²⁵ Na ka u nei toku whakaaro ki tenei, e matau ana ahau tera ahau e noho, ae ra, ka noho iho ahau ki a koutou katoa, hei whakaneke ake, hei whakahari i a koutou i runga i te whakapono;

²⁶ Kia hira rawa ai to koutou whakamanamana i roto i a Karaiti Ihu ki ahau, moku ka noho tahi ano me koutou.
