1Ko tāku kupu ia tēnei: I te mea he tamariki tonu te tangata mōna te kāinga, kāhore ia e rerekē i te pononga, ahakoa ko te rangatira ia o ngā mea katoa;

2engari, e meatia ana e ngā kaitohutohu, e ngā kaititiro, kia taea rā anō te wā i whakaritea e te pāpā.

3Waihoki ko tātou, i te mea e tamariki ana, he pononga tātou nā ngā mea tīmatanga o te ao.

4Ā, nō ka tutuki te tāima, ka tonoa mai e te Atua tāna Tama, i whānau i te wahine, i whānau i raro i te ture,

5hei hoko i te hunga i raro i te ture, kia whiwhi ai tātou ki te whakatamarikitanga.

6Nā, i te mea he tamariki koutou, kua tonoa mai e te Atua te Wairua o tāna Tama ki roto ki ō koutou ngākau, e karanga ana, “E Apa, e Pā!”

7Heoi, kua mutu tōu ponongatanga, engari kua tama koe; ā, ki te mea he tama, nā mōu ngā mea i roto i te Atua.

8Heoi i reira, i te mea kīhai koutou i mātau ki te Atua, he pononga koutou nā ngā mea ehara nei i te atua tupu.

9Ināianei ia, i te mea ka mātau nei koutou ki te Atua, arā, ka mātauria nei koutou e te Atua, he aha koutou ka tahuri ai anō ki aua mea ngoikore, rawakore, ki ngā mea tīmatanga, e hokia nā e tō koutou hiahia, kia waiho koutou hei pononga mā aua mea?

10E mau ana koutou ki ngā rā, ki ngā marama, ki ngā wā, ki ngā tau.

11E manawapā ana ahau ki a koutou, kei kore he hua mō tāku i mahi ai i roto i a koutou.

12E ōku tēina, ko tāku tohe tēnei ki a koutou, kia rite ki ahau; e rite ana hoki ahau ki a koutou. Kāhore ā koutou mahi hē ki ahau.

13E mātau ana koutou he mea nā te ngoikore e tōku kikokiko tāku kauwhau i te rongopai ki a koutou i te tuatahi.

14Heoi, kīhai koutou i whakahāwea, i whakakino ki tōku whakamātautauranga i tōku kikokiko; nā, tahuri mai ana koutou ki ahau, ānō he anahera ahau nā te Atua, me te mea ānō ko Īhu Karaiti.

15Kei hea rā tērā hari o koutou? He kaiwhakaatu hoki ahau mō tā koutou, me i taea kua tīkarohia e koutou ō koutou kanohi, ā, kua hōmai ki ahau.

16Koia, kua hoariritia rānei ahau ki a koutou, mōku i kōrero i te pono ki a koutou?

17Ko tā rātou whaiwhai i a koutou ehara i te pai; engari, e mea ana rātou kia tūtakina mai koutou, kia whai ai ko koutou ki a rātou.

18He mea pai ia kia matenuitia i runga i te pai i ngā wā katoa, kauaka hoki i tōku nohoanga anake ki a koutou.

19E āku tamariki, ka mamae nei anō ahau mō koutou, kia whai āhua rā anō a te Karaiti i roto i a koutou,

20ko tāku hiahia me i konā ahau i a koutou nā āianei, kia puta kē anō tōku reo; nō te mea e ruarua ana ahau ki a koutou.

21Kī mai ki ahau, e te hunga e hiahia ana kia noho i raro i te ture, kāhore ianei koutou e rongo ki tā te ture?

22Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, tokorua ngā tama a Āperahama, kotahi nā te wahine pononga, kotahi nā te wahine rangatira.

23Ko tā te pononga nō te kikokiko tōna whānautanga. Ko tā te wahine rangatira ia he mea kōrero mai i mua.

24He mea whakarite aua mea: ko ngā wāhine nei ngā kawenata e rua; kotahi nō Maunga Hinai, whānau ake ana hei taurekareka, ko Hakara tēnei.

25Nā, ko tēnei Hakara ko Maunga Hinai i Arāpia, e rite ana hoki ki Hiruhārama onāianei, he pononga nei hoki ia, rātou ko āna tamariki.

26Tēnā, ko te Hiruhārama i runga he mea herekore, ko ia tō tātou whaea.

27Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi: “Kia hari, e te pākoko kāhore nei e whānau! Hāmama, karanga, e te mea kāhore nei kia whakamamae; he tini kē hoki ngā tamariki a te mea mahue i ā te mea whai tāne.”

28Nā, ko tātou nei, e ōku tēina, e rite ana ki a Īhaka, he tamariki nā te kupu whakaari.

29Engari e rite ana anō ki tō mua, ko te mea nō te kikokiko nei tōna whānautanga, whakatoia ana e ia te tama nō te Wairua nei tōna; e pērā ana anō ināianei.

30Heoi, e pēhea ana tā te karaipiture? “Peia atu te wahine pononga rāua ko tāna tama; e kore hoki te tama a te wahine pononga e whiwhi tahi me te tama a te wahine rangatira ki te taonga.”

31Nā, ehara tātou, e ōku tēina, i te tamariki nā te wahine pononga, engari nā te wahine rangatira.
