Te Huringa o Haora ki te Whakapono
(Ngā Mahi 22.6-16; 26.12-18)
1 Ko Haora ia kei te kupukupu tonu i te whakawehi, i te mate mō ngā ākonga a te Ariki, ā, haere ana ki te tohunga nui, 2 kei te tono pukapuka i a ia ki ngā whakaminenga i Ramahiku, ina kitea e ia tētahi nō te Huarahi, ahakoa tāne, wāhine rānei, kia mauria hereheretia mai e ia ki Hiruhārama.
3 Nā, i a ia e haere ana, ka whakatata ia ki Ramahiku; nā, ohorere ana te whitinga mai ki a ia, huri noa, o tētahi mārama nō te rangi. 4 Ā, hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka rongo ake i tētahi reo e mea ana ki a ia, “E Haora, e Haora, he aha tāu e whakatoi nei i ahau?”
5 Anō rā ko ia, “Ko wai koe, e te Ariki?”
Ka mea ia, “Ko Īhu ahau, e whakatoia nei e koe; ehara tāu, te whana ki ngā koikoi.”
6 Nā, wiri ana ia, ihiihi ana, ka mea, “E te Ariki, kia aha ahau?”
Anō rā ko te Ariki ki a ia, “Whakatika, tomo atu ki te pā, ā, ka kōrerotia ki a koe tāu e mea ai.”
7 Nā, ko ngā tāngata i haere tahi i a ia, tū reokore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kāhore ia i kite tangata. 8 Nā, ka whakatika ake a Haora i te whenua, ā, i te tuwheratanga o ōna kanohi, kīhai rawa ia i kite aha; nā, ārahina ā ringatia ana ia e rātou, mauria ana ia ki Ramahiku. 9 Ā, e toru ōna rā e kore ana e kite, kīhai hoki i kai, kīhai i inu.
10 Nā, i Ramahiku tētahi ākonga, ko Anania te ingoa; ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, he kite, “E Anania.”
Ka mea tērā, “Tēnei ahau, e te Ariki.”
11 Anō rā ko te Ariki ki a ia, “Whakatika, haere ki te ara e kīia nei ko Torotika, ka ui i te whare o Hūrā mō tētahi ko Haora te ingoa, nō Tarahu. Nā, kei te īnoi ia. 12 Ā, kua kite ia i tētahi tangata, ko Anania te ingoa, e tomo mai ana, e whakapā ana i ōna ringa ki a ia, kia kite ai ia.”
13 Otirā, ka whakahoki a Anania, “E te Ariki, he tokomaha āku i rongo ai mō tēnei tangata, ki te nui o te kino i mea ai ia ki tāu hunga tapu i Hiruhārama; 14 ā, tēnei anō kei a ia he mana nā ngā tohunga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tōu ingoa.”
15 Heoi, ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, “Haere; nō te mea he kaupapa whiriwhiri ia nāku, hei mau i tōku ingoa ki te aroaro o ngā tauiwi, o ngā kīngi, o ngā tama hoki a Īharaira. 16 Ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o ngā mea e mamae ai ia mō tōku ingoa.”
17 Nā, haere ana a Anania, tomo ana ki roto ki te whare. Ka whakapā i ōna ringa ki a ia, ka mea, “E tōku teina, e Haora, nā te Ariki, nā Īhu, i puta rā ki a koe i te ara i haere mai nā koe, nāna ahau i tono mai, kia kite ai koe, ā, kia kī ai hoki i te Wairua Tapu.” 18 Nā, marere tonu iho ētahi mea, ānō he unahi, i ōna kanohi, ā, kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria. 19 Nā, ka kai ia, ka whai kaha.
Ka Kauwhau a Haora i Ramahiku
Nā, noho ana a Haora ki ngā ākonga i Ramahiku mō ētahi rā. 20 Ā, i reira tonu kauwhautia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i ngā whare karakia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.
21 Ā, mīharo ana te hunga katoa i rongo, ka mea, “Ehara ianei tēnei i te kaitūkino o te hunga i karanga ki tēnei ingoa i Hiruhārama? Ā, ko te mea anō tēnei i haere mai ai ia, kia herea rātou, kia ārahina ki ngā tohunga nui?”
22 Ko Haora ia ka nui haere kē atu tōna kaha, ā, whakapororarutia ana e ia ngā Hūrai e noho ana i Ramahiku, i a ia e whakakite ana ko te Karaiti tēnei.
23 Ā, ka maha ngā rā ka pahure, ka rūnanga ngā Hūrai kia whakamatea ia. 24 Heoi, i mātau a Haora ki tā rātou whakapāpānga mōna. Ā, whanga ana rātou ki ngā tatau i te ao, i te pō, kia whakamatea ia; 25 otiia, i mau ngā ākonga ki a ia i te pō, tukua iho ana e rātou rā te taiepa i roto i te kete.
Ko Haora kei Hiruhārama
26 Ā, nō tōna taenga mai ki Hiruhārama, ka whai ia kia uru atu ia ki ngā ākonga; heoi, wehi katoa ana rātou i a ia, kīhai i whakapono he ākonga ia. 27 Ko Pānapa ia i tango i a ia, ā, mauria ana ia ki ngā āpōtoro, kōrerotia ana e ia ki a rātou tōna kitenga i te Ariki i te ara, tāna kōrerotanga ki a ia, tōna māia hoki ki te kauwhau i Ramahiku i runga i te ingoa o Īhu. 28 Nā, ka noho ia ki a rātou, hāereere atu ana, hāereere mai ana i Hiruhārama, 29 me te māia hoki ki te kauwhau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; ā, kōrero ana ia, totohe ana ki ngā Hūrai Kariki; otirā ka whakangākau rātou kia whakamatea ia. 30 Nō te mōhiotanga o ngā tuākana, ka mauria ia e rātou ki raro ki Hiharia, ā, tonoa atu ana ia ki Tarahu.
31 Nā, ka whai tānga manawa te hāhi, puta noa i Hūria katoa, i Karirī, i Hamaria, ā, tupu ana; haere ana i runga i te wehi o te Ariki, i te whakamārie hoki a te Wairua Tapu, nō ka whakaroaka.
Ko Pita kei Raira kei Hopa
32 Nā, i a Pita e hāereere ana puta noa ngā wāhi katoa, ka tae iho hoki ia ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Raira. 33 Ka kitea e ia i reira tētahi tangata ko Inia te ingoa, kua waru ōna tau e takoto ana i runga i tōna moenga; he pararūtiki hoki ia. 34 Nā, ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, “E Inia, ka ora koe i a Īhu Karaiti; whakatika, whārikitia tōu moenga.” Nā, whakatika tonu ake ia. 35 I kite katoa hoki i a ia te hunga e noho ana i Raira, i Harona, ā, tahuri ana ki te Ariki.
36 Nā, tērā tētahi ākonga i Hopa e noho ana, ko Tapita te ingoa, ko te whakamāoritanga ko Roka. He wahine tēnei i aro nui ki ngā mahi pai, ki ngā mahi atawhai rawakore. 37 Ā, i aua rā ka tūrorotia ia, ka mate. Ā, ka oti ia te horoi e rātou, ka whakatakotoria ia ki tētahi rūma i runga. 38 Nā, i te mea e tata atu ana a Raira ki Hopa, ka rongo ngā ākonga kei reira a Pita, ā, ka tonoa e rātou tokorua ngā tāngata ki a ia, hei mea, “Kaua e whakaroa te haere mai ki a mātou.”
39 Nā, whakatika ana a Pita, haere ana i a rāua. Ā, i tōna taenga atu ka ārahina e rātou ki te rūma i runga. Ā, tū ana ngā pouaru katoa i tōna taha, tangi ana, ka whakakite ki a ia i ngā koti, i ngā kākahu i hangā e Roka, i a ia e noho ana i a rātou.
40 Otiia, ka tonoa rātou katoa e Pita ki waho, ka tuku ia i ōna turi, ka īnoi; kātahi ka tahuri ake ia ki te tūpāpaku, ka mea, “Tapita, e ara.” Nā, ka titiro ōna kanohi, ā, i tōna kitenga i a Pita, ka noho ia ki runga. 41 Kātahi, ka hoatu e ia tōna ringa ki a ia, ka whakaara ake i a ia. Ā, karangatia ana e ia te hunga tapu me ngā pouaru, ā, tukua oratia atu ana ia. 42 Ā, i mōhiotia tēnei mea puta noa i Hopa katoa; he tokomaha hoki i whakapono ki te Ariki. 43 Ā, he maha ōna rā i noho ai ia ki Hopa, ki a Haimona kaimahi hiako.
