11
1 Kia rite tā koutou ki tāku, me tāku ka rite nei ki tā te Karaiti.
Hīpokina te Upoko i te Koropikotanga
2 Nā, e whakamoemiti ana ahau ki a koutou, mō koutou ka mahara ki ahau i ngā mea katoa, ka pupuri hoki i ngā whakarerenga iho, i āku i tuku atu nā ki a koutou. 3 Nā, e mea ana ahau kia mātau koutou, ko te Karaiti te upoko o ngā tāne katoa; ko te tāne te upoko o te wahine; ko te Atua anō te upoko o te Karaiti. 4 Ko te tangata e īnoi ana, e poropiti ana, me te hīpoki anō te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tōna upoko. 5 Ko te wahine ia e īnoi ana e poropiti ana rānei, kāhore nei he hīpoki o te upoko, e whakaiti ana ia i tōna upoko. E rite tonu ana tēnā ānō kua oti tōna upoko te heu. 6 Ki te kāhore hoki te wahine e hīpokina, kia waruhia hoki ia. Ki te mea he mea whakamā ki te wahine kia waruhia, kia heua rānei, me hīpoki ia. 7 E kore hoki e tika mō te tāne kia hīpokina tōna upoko, ko te āhua hoki ia, ko te korōria o te Atua. Ko te wahine ia te korōria o te tāne. 8 Ehara hoki i te mea nō te wahine te tāne, engari, nō te tāne te wahine. 9 Kīhai anō te tāne i hangā mā te wahine, engari, ko te wahine mā te tāne. 10 Koia i tika ai hei runga i te upoko o te wahine te tohu o te mana, he mea mō ngā anahera.
11 Ahakoa rā, e kore te tāne e motuhia kētia i te wahine, e kore anō te wahine e motuhia kētia i te tāne, i roto i te Ariki. 12 Nō roto hoki i te tāne te wahine, waihoki, i nā te wahine mai te tāne; nā te Atua anō ia ngā mea katoa. 13 Mā koutou tonu e whakaaro: he mea pai rānei kia īnoi hīpokikore te wahine ki te Atua? 14 E kore rānei te whakaaro māori nei anō e ako i a koutou, ki te mea he makawe roroa o te tāne, he mea whakatūtūa tērā mōna? 15 Tēnā, ki te mea he makawe roroa o te wahine, he mea whakakorōria tērā mōna. Kua hoatu hoki ōna makawe ki a ia hei hīpoki. 16 Otirā, ki te mea he āhua totohe tētahi, kāhore ō mātou ritenga pērā, kāhore hoki o ngā hāhi a te Atua.
Te Hapa a te Ariki
(Matiu 26.26-29; Māka 14.22-25; Ruka 22.14-20)
17 I ahau ia e kōrero nei i tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore āku whakamoemiti ki a koutou, kāhore hoki koutou e whakamine mō te pai, engari mō te kino. 18 Nā, ko te tuatahi, i a koutou ka whakamine ki roto ki te hāhi, ka rongo ahau he wehewehenga kei roto i a koutou; ā, e whakapono ana ahau ki tētahi wāhi. 19 Kua takoto hoki kia whai tītorehanga koutou, kia kitea ai te hunga e paingia ana i roto i a koutou. 20 Nā, ka huihui koutou ki te wāhi kotahi, e kore e taea kia kai i te hapa a te Ariki. 21 I te mea hoki e kai ana koutou, ka kai tēnā, tēnā, i tāna hapa i mua atu i tētahi; ā, ka hiakai tētahi, ka haurangi tētahi. 22 He aha? Kāhore koia ō koutou whare e kai ai, e inu ai koutou? E whakahāwea ana rānei koutou ki te hāhi a te Atua, e mea ana hoki kia whakamā te hunga kāhore nei ā rātou mea? Kia pēhea atu tāku kupu ki a koutou? Kia whakamoemiti oti ahau ki a koutou mō tēnei mea? E kore rā ahau e whakamoemiti.
23 Kua riro mai hoki i ahau i te Ariki tāku i tuku atu rā ki a koutou, arā, i taua pō i tukua ai ia, i tangohia e te Ariki, e Īhu, te taro, 24 ā, ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka whatia e ia, nā ka mea ia, “Tangohia, kainga; ko tōku tinana tēnei ka whatiwhatia nei mō koutou. Meinga tēnei hei whakamahara ki ahau.” 25 Me te kapu anō i te mutunga o te hapa, me tāna mea anō, “Ko te kawenata hou tēnei kapu i runga i ōku toto. Meinga tēnei i ngā inumanga katoa hei whakamahara ki ahau.” 26 I ngā wā katoa hoki e kai ai koutou i tēnei taro, e inu ai i tēnei kapu, e whakakitea ana e koutou te matenga o te Ariki, kia tae mai rā anō ia.
27 Mō reira ki te kai hē tētahi, ki te inu hē i te kapu a te Ariki, ka whai hara ia i te tinana, i ngā toto, o te Ariki. 28 Engari, kia uiui te tangata ki a ia anō, ka kai ai i taua taro, ka inu ai i taua kapu. 29 Nō te mea ki te kai hē, ki te inu hē tētahi, e kai ana, e inu ana i te whakawā mōna, tē whakaaro ko te tinana o te Ariki. 30 Nō konei hoki he tokomaha i roto i a koutou e ngoikore ana, e mate ana, he tokomaha, anō kua moe. 31 Me i whakawā hoki tātou i a tātou anō, kīhai i whakataua te hē ki a tātou. 32 Ki te whakawākia ia tātou, he mea whakaako tātou nā te Ariki, kei tukua ngātahitia tātou me te ao ki te hē.
33 Heoi, e ōku tēina, ka huihui koutou ki te kai, me tatari tētahi ki tētahi. 34 Ki te hiakai tētahi, hei roto i tōna whare kai ai; kei ai tō koutou huihuinga hei take whakawā.
Ko ērā atu mea hoki, māku e whakatika ina tae atu ahau.
