Te Whakamātautau i a Īhu
(Matiu 4.1-11; Māka 1.12-13)
1 Nā, ko Īhu, kī tonu i te Wairua Tapu, hoki atu ana i Horano, ā, ka ārahina e te Wairua i te koraha. 2 Mō ngā rā e whā tekau, whakamātautauria ai e te rēwera. Kīhai ia i kai i tētahi mea i aua rā, ā, nō ka pahemo, ka hiakai ia.
3 Nā, ka mea te rēwera ki a ia, “Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kīa iho tēnei kōhatu kia meinga hei taro.”
4 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu ki a ia, ka mea, “Kua oti te tuhituhi, ‘E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau.’ ”
5 Kātahi ka ārahina ia e ia ki runga, ā, mea kau iho kua whakakitea ki a ia ngā rangatiratanga katoa o te ao. 6 Ka mea te rēwera ki a ia, “Māku e hoatu ki a koe tēnei rangatiratanga katoa, me te korōria o ēnei mea; kua tukua hoki ki ahau, ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki tāku e pai ai. 7 Nā, ki te koropiko koe ki tōku aroaro, mōu katoa.”
8 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu ki a ia, ka mea, “Kua oti te tuhituhi, ‘Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki, ki tōu Atua, me mahi anō ki a ia anake!’ ”
9 Nā, ka kawea ia e ia ki Hiruhārama, ā, whakatūria ana ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, nā, ka mea ia ki a ia, “Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu i konei ki raro, 10 kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, ‘Ka kōrerotia iho koe e ia ki āna anahera, kia tiakina koe.’ 11 Ā, ‘Mā rātou koe e hiki ake ki ō rātou ringa, kei tūtuki tōu waewae ki te kōhatu.’ ”
12 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “Kua takoto te kōrero, ‘Aua e whakamātautau ki te Ariki, ki tōu Atua.’ ”
13 Ā, ka mutu katoa ngā whakamātautauranga a te rēwera, ka mawehe atu i a ia mō tētahi wāhi.
Ka Tīmata a Īhu i Tāna Mahi i Kariri
(Matiu 4.12-17; Māka 1.14-15)
14 Nā, ka hoki a Īhu i runga i te kaha o te Wairua ki Kariri, ā, haere ana tōna rongo, ā, puta noa i ngā wāhi tata katoa. 15 Ka whakaako ia i roto i ō rātou whare karakia, me te whakakorōria te katoa i a ia.
Ka Makaia atu a Īhu i Nahareta
(Matiu 13.53-58; Māka 6.1-6)
16 Nā, ka haere ia ki Nahareta, ki te wāhi i whāngaia ai ia; ā, ka tomo i te rā hāpati ki te whare karakia, ko tāna hanga hoki ia, ka whakatika ki te kōrero pukapuka. 17 Ā, ka hoatu ki a ia te pukapuka a Ihāia poropiti. Ā, nō ka wherahia te pukapuka, ka kitea e ia te wāhi i tēnei tuhituhinga:
18 “Kei ahau te Wairua o te Ariki,
nāna nei hoki ahau i whakawahi,
hei kauwhau i te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore.
Kua tonoa ahau e ia ki te kauwhau ki ngā herehere, kia haere noa,
ki ngā matapō kia titiro;
ki te tuku i te hunga e marū ana, kia haere noa atu, 19 ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.”
20 Nā, ka kopia e ia te pukapuka, ka hoatu ki te kaitiaki, ā, noho ana. Nā, ka titiro matatau ki a ia ngā kanohi o te hunga katoa i roto i te whare karakia. 21 Kātahi ia ka anga, ka kōrero ki a rātou, “Nō nāianei, i ō koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tēnei karaipiture.”
22 Ā, i whakapai rātou katoa ki a ia, i mīharo ki ngā kupu pai i puta i tōna māngai. Ka mea rātou, “Ehara ianei tēnei i te tama a Hōhepa?”
23 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Tērā pea e puaki mai i a koutou tēnei kupu whakarite ki ahau, ‘E rata, rongoā koe i a koe anō! Ko ngā mea i rongo ai mātou kua meinga ki Kaperenauma, meinga hoki ki konei, ki tōu whenua.’ ” 24 I mea anō ia, “He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore te poropiti e manakohia i tōna ake whenua.
25 “Otirā, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, he tokomaha ngā pouaru i roto i a Īharaira i ngā rā i a Irāia, i te rangi kua oti te kōpani i ngā tau e toru i ngā marama e ono, i te matekaitanga nui o te whenua katoa. 26 Heoi, kīhai a Irāia i tonoa ki tētahi o rātou, ki a Harepata anake o Hairona, ki te wahine pouaru. 27 He tokomaha hoki ngā repera i roto i a Īharaira, i ngā rā o Eriha poropiti; ā, kīhai tētahi o rātou i whakamākia, ko Nāmana anake, ko te Hīriani.”
28 Ā, kī tonu i te riri te hunga katoa i te whare karakia, i te rongonga ki ēnei mea. 29 Nā, ko tō rātou whakatikanga ake, ka maka i a ia ki waho o te pā, ā, ārahina ana ia ki te pari o te puke i hangā ai tō rātou pā, kia whakatakā ai ia ki raro. 30 Otirā, i tika ia rā waenganui o rātou, ā, haere ana.
He Tangata he Wairua Poke tōna
(Māka 1.21-28)
31 Ā, ka tae ki Kaperenauma, ki tētahi pā o Kariri, ka whakaako i a rātou i te hāpati. 32 Nā, ka mīharo rātou ki tāna ako, i whai mana hoki tāna kupu. 33 Nā, i te whare karakia tētahi tangata he wairua rēwera poke tōna, nui atu tōna reo ki te karanga, 34 ka mea, “Kāti rā; he aha mātou nāu, e Īhu o Nahareta; kua tae mai koe ki te whakangaro i a mātou? E mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, ko wai koe; ko te Mea Tapu a te Atua!”
35 Nā, rīria iho ia e Īhu, ka mea ia, “Kāti te kōrero, puta mai hoki i roto i a ia.” Kātahi te rēwera ka turaki i a ia ki waenganui, ā, puta mai ana i roto i a ia, kīhai hoki tērā i ahatia.
36 Nā tau ana te mīharo ki a rātou katoa, ka kōrerorero tētahi ki tētahi, ka mea, “He aha tēnei kupu? Mana tonu nei hoki tāna tono i ngā wairua poke, kaha tonu, ā, puta mai ana ki waho.” 37 Ā, pakū ana tōna rongo puta noa i ngā wāhi tūtata katoa.
Ka Whakaoratia e Īhu te Tini Tāngata
(Matiu 8.14-17; Māka 1.29-34)
38 Ā, ko tōna whakatikanga i te whare karakia, tomo tonu ki te whare o Haimona. Nā, e mate ana te whaea o te wahine a Haimona, he nui te kirikā; ka īnoi rātou ki a ia mōna. 39 Nā, ka tū ia ki runga i a ia, ā, rīria iho te kirikā; ā, mutu ake, nā, ara tonu ake ia kei te taka mea mā rātou.
40 I te toenetanga o te rā, ka kawea mai ki a ia e ngā tāngata katoa ngā mea o rātou e mate ana i te tini o ngā mate; nā, whakapākia iho e ia ōna ringa ki tēnei, ki tēnei o rātou, ā, ora ake rātou. 41 He tokomaha hoki te hunga i puta mai ngā rēwera i roto i a rātou; i karanga hoki aua wairua i mea, “Ko te Tama koe a te Atua!”
Ā, rīria ana rātou e ia, kīhai i tukua kia kōrero, i mātau hoki rātou ko te Karaiti ia.
Ka Kauwhau a Īhu i ngā Whare Karakia
(Māka 1.35-39)
42 Ka ao te rā, ka puta atu ia, ka haere ki tētahi wāhi koraha; ā, ka rapu ngā mano i a ia, ka tae ki a ia, nā, puritia ana ia, kei whakarērea rātou e ia. 43 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Me kauwhau e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ērā atu pā anō; koia hoki ahau i tonoa mai ai.”
44 Ā, kauwhau ana ia i ngā whare karakia o Kariri.
