Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu tētahi Repera
(Māka 1.40-45; Ruka 5.12-16)
1 Ā, nō ka heke iho ia i te maunga, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia. 2 Nā, ka haere tētahi repera, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, “E te Ariki, ki te pai koe, e taea ahau e koe te mea kia mā.”
3 Ā, ka totoro te ringa o Īhu, ka pā ki a ia, ka mea, “E pai ana ahau; kia mā koe!” Ā, mā tonu iho tōna repera. 4 Kātahi, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Kia mahara, kei kōrerotia ki te tangata; erangi haere, kia kite te tohunga i a koe, mauria atu hoki te whakahere i whakaritea e Mohi, hei mea whakaatu ki a rātou.”
Ka Whakaora a Īhu i te Pononga a te Āpiha Roma
(Ruka 7.1-10)
5 Ā, nō ka tae a Īhu ki Kaperenauma, ka haere ki a ia tētahi keneturio, ka īnoi ki a ia, 6 ka mea, “E te Ariki, ko tāku pononga kei te whare e takoto ana, he pararūtiki, e ngaua kinotia ana.”
7 Ā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ka haere ahau ki te whakaora i a ia.”
8 Nā, ko te whakahokinga a te keneturio, ko te meatanga, “E te Ariki, ehara ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i tōku tuanui; engari, kia puaki kau tāu kupu, ā, ka ora tāku pononga. 9 He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hōia anō āku hei whakahaunga māku; ka mea ahau ki tēnei, ‘Haere,’ nā, ka haere ia; ki tētahi, ‘Haere mai,’ ā, ka haere mai; ki tāku pononga hoki, ‘Meatia tēnei,’ ā, ka meatia e ia.”
10 Ā, nō te rongonga o Īhu, ka mīharo, ka mea ki te hunga e aru ana, “He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kāhore ahau i kite noa i te whakapono hei rite mō tēnei te nui i roto i a Īharaira. 11 Ko tāku kupu anō tēnei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e haere mai i te rāwhiti, i te hauāuru, ā, e noho tahi i a Āperahama, i a Īhaka, i a Hākopa, ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 12 Ko ngā tamariki ia o te rangatiratanga ka makā ki te pōuri i waho; ko te wāhi tērā o te tangi, o te tetēā o ngā niho.” 13 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki te keneturio, “Haere, kia rite ki tōu whakapono te meatanga ki a koe.”
Ā, ora ake ana taua pononga i taua wā pū anō.
Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu te Tini Tāngata
(Māka 1.29-34; Ruka 4.38-41)
14 Ā, nō ka tae a Īhu ki te whare o Pita, ka kite ia i tōna hungawai wahine e takoto mate ana, he kirikā. 15 Nā, ka pā ia ki tōna ringaringa, ā, mutu ake tōna kirikā; ā, ara ake ana ia ki te taka mea mā rātou.
16 Nā, i te ahiahi he tokomaha te hunga e nohoia ana e ngā rēwera i mauria mai ki a ia. Nā, ka peia e tāna kupu ngā wairua ki waho, ā, whakaorangia ake e ia te hunga mate katoa. 17 I rite ai tā Ihāia poropiti i kōrero ai, i mea ai, “Nāna i tango ō tātou ngoikore, i waha ō tātou mate.”
Te Hunga e Hia-Whai i a Īhu
(Ruka 9.57-62)
18 Nā, i te kitenga o Īhu he rahi te hui e mui ana ki a ia, ka whakahau ia kia whakawhiti ki tāwāhi. 19 Ā, ka haere tētahi karaipi, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Kaiwhakaako, ka aru ahau i a koe ki ngā wāhi katoa e haere ai koe.”
20 Ā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “He rua o ngā pokiha, he kōwhanga o ngā manu o te rangi; tēnā ko te Tama a te tangata, kāhore ōna wāhi e takoto ai tōna mātenga.”
21 Ā, i mea tētahi atu o āna ākonga ki a ia, “E te Ariki tukua ahau kia mātua haere ki te tanu i tōku pāpā.”
22 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Arumia ahau, ā, waiho mā ngā tūpāpaku e tanu ō rātou tūpāpaku.”
Ka Whakamarinotia e Īhu tētahi Puehu
(Māka 4.35-41; Ruka 8.22-25)
23 Ā, nō ka eke ia ki te kaipuke, ka aru āna ākonga i a ia. 24 Nā, ka tutū te puehu o te moana, ā, ngaro iho te kaipuke i te ngaru; i te moe hoki ia. 25 Ā, ka haere āna ākonga, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, “E te Ariki, whakaorangia tātou! Ka ngaro tātou.”
26 Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “He aha tā koutou e wehi, e te hunga whakapono iti?” Me i reira ka ara ia, ā, rīria iho te hau me te moana; ā, takoto ana he marino nui.
27 Ā, mīharo noa ngā tāngata, ka mea, “He tangata aha tēnei? Inā, rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia!”
Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu ngā Tokorua, he Rēwera ō Rāua
(Māka 5.1-20; Ruka 8.26-39)
28 Ā, nō ka whiti ia ki tarawāhi, ki te whenua o ngā Kerekehini, ka tūtaki ki a ia ētahi tāngata tokorua e nohoia ana e te rēwera, e puta ana mai i roto i ngā urupā, he hunga tutū rawa, tē taea taua ara te haere e te tangata. 29 Nā, ka karanga ake rāua, ka mea, “He aha māua nāu, e Īhu, e te Tama a te Atua? Kua tae mai oti koe ki te whakamamae i a māua i te mea kāhore anō i rite te tāima?”
30 Nā, tērā tētahi kāhui poaka i tawhiti atu i a rātou e kai ana, he tini. 31 Ā, ka īnoi ngā rēwera ki a ia, ka mea, “Ki te pei koe i a mātou, tukua mātou kia haere ki roto ki te kāhui poaka.”
32 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Haere!” Nā, ko tō rātou putanga ki waho, haere ana ki roto ki te kāhui poaka. Nā, ko te tino rerenga o te kāhui poaka katoa rā te pari ki te moana, ā, mate iho ki roto ki te wai.
33 Nā, ka whati ngā kaiwhāngai, ā, haere ana ki te pā, kōrero ana i ngā mea katoa, me te meatanga ki te hunga i nohoia e ngā rēwera. 34 Nā, puta katoa ana te pā ki waho, ki te whakatau i a Īhu; ā, ka kite i a ia, ka tohe kia haere atu ia i ō rātou wāhi.
