Ka Whakaora a Īhu i te Tangata Pararūtiki
(Matiu 9.1-8; Ruka 5.17-26)
1 Ā, i a ia i tomo ai anō ki Kaperenauma i ētahi rā mai, ka rangona kei te whare ia. 2 Nā, ka hui mai te tini o te tangata, kāhore rawa he wāhi e ō ai rātou, hore rawa i te taha o te kūwaha; ā, ka kōrerotia e ia te kupu ki a rātou. 3 Ka haere mai hoki ētahi, ka kawe mai i tētahi pararūtiki ki a ia, tokowhā ki te kauhoa. 4 Ā, tē taea te whakatata ki a ia i te mano hoki, ka pokaia te tuanui o te wāhi i noho ai ia; ā, ka oti te wāwāhi, ka tukua iho te moenga i takoto ai te pararūtiki. 5 Ā, nō te kitenga o Īhu i tō rātou whakapono, ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, “E tama, ka oti ōu hara te muru.”
6 Nā, i reira ētahi o ngā karaipi e noho ana, e whakaaroaro ana i roto i ō rātou ngākau, 7 “He aha ēnei kupu kohukohu a tēnei tangata? Ko wai hei muru hara, kotahi tonu ko te Atua anake?”
8 Nā, mōhio tonu a Īhu i roto i tōna wairua, e pēnei ana ō rātou whakaaro i roto i a rātou, ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “He aha koutou ka whakaaroaro ai i ēnei mea i roto i ō koutou ngākau? 9 Ko tēhea te mea takoto noa, ko te mea ki te pararūtiki, ‘Ka oti ōu hara te muru,’ ko te mea rānei, ‘Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere’? 10 Otirā, kia mātau ai koutou he mana muru hara tō te Tama a te tangata i runga i te whenua.” Ka mea ia ki te pararūtiki, 11 “Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere ki tōu whare.”
12 Nā, whakatika tonu ake ia, ā, tangohia ake ana tōna moenga, haere atu ana i te aroaro o rātou katoa. Nō, ka mīharo rātou katoa ka whakakorōria i te Atua, ka mea, “Kāhore anō tātou i kite noa i te pēnei!”
Ka Karanga a Īhu i a Rīwai
(Matiu 9.9-13; Ruka 5.27-32)
13 Ā, haere atu ana ia i te taha o te moana; nā, ka tae te mano katoa ki a ia, ā, ka whakaakona rātou e ia. 14 Ā, i a ia e haere ana, ka kite ia i a Rīwai tama a Arapiu e noho ana i te wāhi tango takoha, ka mea ki a ia, Arumia ahau. Nā, whakatika ana ia, aru ana i a ia.
15 Ā, i a ia e noho ana i tōna whare, he tokomaha ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara e noho tahi ana ki a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga; he tokomaha hoki rātou, ā, i aru i a ia. 16 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā karaipi a ngā Parihi i a ia e kai tahi ana me ngā pupirikana, me ngā tāngata hara, ka mea ki āna ākonga, “Kei te kai tahi ia, kei te inu tahi me ngā pupirikana me ngā tāngata hara.”
17 Ā, i te rongonga o Īhu, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kāhore he aha o ngā tāngata ora e meatia ai e te rata, engari o te hunga e mate ana; kīhai hoki ahau i haere mai ki te karanga i te hunga tika, engari i te hunga hara.”
Te Take e Pā ana ki te Nohopuku
(Matiu 9.14-17; Ruka 5.33-39)
18 Nā, kei te nohopuku ngā ākonga a Hoani rātou ko ā ngā Parihi; ā, ka haere mai rātou, ka mea ki a ia, “He aha ngā ākonga a Hoani me a ngā Parihi ka nohopuku ai, tēnā ko āu ākonga kāhore e nohopuku?”
19 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “E āhei rānei ngā tama o te whare mārena te nohopuku i te mea kei a rātou te tāne mārena hou? E kore rātou e āhei te nohopuku i ngā wā kei a rātou nei te tāne mārena hou. 20 Nā, tērā e tae mai ngā rā e tangohia ai te tāne mārena hou i a rātou, kātahi rātou ka nohopuku i aua rā.
21 “E kore e tuia e te tangata tētahi wāhi o te kahu hou, hei pāpaki mō te kahu tawhito; kei riro tētahi wāhi o te kahu tawhito i tōna whakakapi hou, ā, ka nui rawa te pakaru. 22 E kore hoki e ringihia e te tangata te wāina hou ki ngā ipu tawhito; kei pakaru ngā ipu i te wāina hou, ā, ka maringi te wāina, kore ake ngā ipu; engari me riringi te wāina hou ki ngā ipu hou.”
Te Take e Pā ana ki te Hāpati
(Matiu 12.1-8; Ruka 6.1-5)
23 Ā, i a ia e haere ana i waenga wīti i te hāpati, ka anga āna ākonga ka kakato haere i ngā puku wīti. 24 Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a ia, “Nā, he aha rātou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika i te hāpati?”
25 Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kāhore anō koutou i kite noa i tā Rāwiri i mea ai, i a ia e ngaua ana e te hiakai, rātou ko ōna hoa? 26 I tōna tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua i ngā rā o Apiata tohunga nui, ā, kainga ana e ia ngā taro aroaro, ngā mea kīhai nei i tika kia kainga, mā ngā tohunga anake, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki ōna hoa?”
27 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, “Hei mea mō te tangata te hāpati, ehara i te mea ko te tangata mō te hāpati; 28 waihoki ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hāpati.”
