Te Whakaahua Kētanga
(Māka 9.2-13; Ruka 9.28-36)
1 Ā, ka pahure ngā rā e ono, ka mau a Īhu ki a Pita, ki a Hēmi rāua ko tōna teina ko Hoani, nā, kawea ana rātou e ia ki runga ki tētahi maunga tiketike ki te wāhi motu kē. 2 Ā, ka puta kē tōna āhua i tō rātou aroaro; whiti tonu tōna mata me te rā, mā tonu ōna kākahu me te mārama. 3 Nā, ka kitea e rātou a Mohi rāua ko Irāia e kōrerorero ana ki a ia. 4 Kātahi ka oho a Pita, ka mea ki a Īhu, “E te Ariki, he pai kia noho tātou i konei; ki te pai koe, mā mātou e hanga ētahi wharau ki konei kia toru; kia kotahi mōu, kia kotahi mō Mohi, kia kotahi mō Irāia.”
5 I a ia anō e kōrero ana, nā, ka taumarumaru iho te kapua mārama i runga i a rātou; nā, he reo nō te kapua e mea ana, “Ko tāku Tama tēnei i aroha ai, ko tāku i āhuareka ai; whakarongo ki a ia!”
6 A, nō ka rongo ngā ākonga, ka takoto tāpapa rātou, he nui hoki tō rātou wehi. 7 Nā, ka haere a Īhu, ka pā ki a rātou, ka mea, “Whakatika, kaua e wehi.” 8 Ā, nō ka ara ake ō rātou kanohi, kāhore he tangata i kitea e rātou, ko Īhu anake.
9 Nā, i a rātou e heke iho ana i te maunga, ka whakatūpato a Īhu i a rātou, ka mea, “Kaua e kōrerotia ki te tangata te mea i kitea nei, kia ara ake rā anō te Tama a te tangata i te hunga mate.”
10 Ā, ka ui āna ākonga ki a ia ka mea, “He aha ngā karaipi ka mea ai, ko Irāia kia mātua puta mai?”
11 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko Irāia anō e mātua puta hei whakatika i ngā mea katoa. 12 Ko tāku ia tēnei ki a koutou, kua tae noa mai a Irāia, ā, kīhai rātou i mōhio ki a ia, heoi, meatia ana e rātou ki a ia tā rātou i pai ai. E pērā anō te Tama a te tangata te mamae i a rātou.”
13 Kātahi ka mōhio ngā ākonga ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tāna i kōrero ai ki a rātou.
Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu tētahi Tamaiti mau Rēwera
(Māka 9.14-29; Ruka 9.37-43a)
14 Ā, nō ka tae rātou ki te mano, ka haere mai ki a ia tētahi tangata, ka tūturi ngā turi ki a ia, ka mea, 15 “E te Ariki, kia aroha ki tāku tama; he haurangi hoki ia, he kino tōna mamae; he maha hoki ōna hinganga ki te kāpura, he maha ki te wai. 16 Ā, i kawea ia e ahau ki āu ākonga, heoi, kīhai ia i taea te whakaora e rātou.”
17 Nā, ka oho a Īhu, ka mea, “E te uri whakapono kore, parori kē, kia pēhea te roa o tōku noho ki a koutou? Kia pēhea te roa o tōku manawanui ki a koutou? Kawea mai ia ki konei, ki ahau.” 18 Nā, ka rīria te rēwera e Īhu; ā, puta ana i roto i a ia; ā, ora ake te tamaiti i taua wā pū anō.
19 Me i reira ka haere puku ngā ākonga ki a Īhu, ka mea, “He aha rā tē āhei ai i a mātou te pei i a ia ki waho?”
20 Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou: “Nā, tō koutou whakapono iti; he pono hoki tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te mea he whakapono tō koutou, pērā me tō te pua nanī te rahi, e mea koutou ki tēnei maunga, ‘Neke atu i konei ki tērā wāhi’; ā, ka neke; kāhore hoki he mea e kore e taea e koutou. 21 Otirā, e kore e puta noa te pēnā, mā te īnoi anake mā te nohopuku.”
Ka Kōrero anō a Īhu mō Tōna Matenga
(Māka 9.30-32; Ruka 9.43b-45)
22 Ā, i a rātou e noho ana i Kariri, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Meāke tukua te Tama a te tangata ki ngā ringa o ngā tāngata; 23 ā, ka whakamatea e rātou, ā, i te toru o ngā rā ka ara.”
Ā, nui atu tō rātou pōuri.
Me Hoatu te Takoha Temepara
24 Ā, nō tō rātou taenga ki Kaperenauma, ka haere mai ki a Pita ngā kaikohikohi i te hāwhe hekere, ka mea, “E kore ianei tōu Kaiwhakaako e hōmai i te hāwhe hekere?”
25 Ka mea ia, “E hoatu anō.”
Ā, nō ka tapoko ia ki te whare, ko Īhu kua kōrero ki a ia, kua mea, “E pēhea ana tōu whakaaro, e Haimona? E tangohia ana e ngā kīngi o te ao ngā takoha taonga me te takoha tangata i a wai? I ā rātou ake tama, i a ngā tāngata kē rānei?”
26 Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, “I a ngā tāngata kē.”
Nā, ko te kīanga a Īhu ki a ia, “Ha, pēnā ka haere noa ngā tamariki. 27 Ahakoa rā, kei whai take hē mai rātou ki a tātou, haere ki te moana, piua tētahi matau, ā, ka eke te ika mātāmua, tangohia; nā, ka whakatuwhera i tōna māngai, ka kite ai koe i tētahi moni, tangohia tēnā, ka hoatu ki a rātou, hei mea mōku, mōu.”
