John 11 — Maori (Paipera Tapu 2012)

4I te rongonga ia o Īhu, ka mea ia, “Ehara tēnei i te mate e mate rawa ai ia, engari, hei mea mō te korōria o te Atua; mā tēnei hoki ka whai korōria ai te Tama a te Atua.”

5Nā, i aroha a Īhu ki a Māta rāua ko tōna teina, ki a Raharuhi hoki.

6Ā, nō ka rongo ia ki tōna matenga, e rua ōna rā i noho ai ki taua wāhi rā anō.

7Muri iho i tēnei, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, “Tātou ka haere anō ki Hūria.”

8Ka mea ngā ākonga ki a ia, “E te Kaiwhakaako, i whai ngā Hūrai i mua tata ake nei kia ākina koe ki te kōhatu; ā, e haere atu ana koe ki reira?”

9Ka whakahokia e Īhu, “He teka ianei tekau mā rua ngā hāora o te rā? I te haere tētahi i te awatea, e kore ia e tūtuki, nō te mea e kite ana ia i te mārama o tēnei ao.

10Tēnā, ka haere tētahi i te pō, ka tūtuki ia, nō te mea kāhore he mārama roto i a ia.”

11Ka kōrerotia ēnei mea e ia, nā, muri iho ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kei te moe tō tātou hoa a Raharuhi, otiia, ka haere ahau ki te whakaara i a ia i te moe.”

12Nā, ko te meatanga a āna ākonga, “E te Ariki, ki te mea kei te moe ia, tērā ia e ora.”

13Kāhore, ko tōna matenga tā Īhu i kōrero ai; ko rātou ia i mahara, i kōrero ia mō te takotoranga ina moe.

14Kātahi, ka mea nui a Īhu ki a rātou, “Kua mate a Raharuhi.

15Ā, e hari ana ahau, he whakaaro hoki ki a koutou, nōku kāhore i reira, kia whakapono ai koutou. Ahakoa rā kia haere tātou ki a ia.”

16Nā, ka mea a Tamati (e huaina nei ko Ririmu) ki ōna hoa ākonga, “Kia haere anō tātou, kia mate tahi me ia.”

17Heoi, i te taenga atu o Īhu, rokohanga atu kua whā kē ōna rā i roto i te urupā.

18Nā, e tata ana Petani ki Hiruhārama, kotahi pea tekau mā rima pāronga,

19he tokomaha anō ngā Hūrai i tae ki a Māta rāua ko Meri, ki te whakamārie i a rāua mō tō rāua tungāne.

20Ā, nō te rongonga o Māta, tēnā a Īhu te haere mai nā, ka whakatau i a ia; ko Meri ia i noho i roto i te whare.

21Nā, ka mea a Māta ki a Īhu, “E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kīhai i mate tōku tungāne.

22Heoi, e mātau nei anō ahau, ko tāu e īnoi ai ki te Atua, e hōmai e te Atua ki a koe.”

23Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E ara anō tōu tungāne.”

24Ka mea a Māta ki a ia, “E mātau ana ahau e ara anō ia i te aranga ā te rā whakamutunga.”

25Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ko ahau te aranga, te ora. Ko ia e whakapono ana ki ahau, ahakoa kua mate, e ora anō;

26e kore anō e mate ake ake ngā tāngata katoa e ora ana, e whakapono ana ki ahau. E whakapono ana rānei koe ki tēnei?”

27Ka mea ia ki a ia, “Āe, e te Ariki, e whakapono ana ahau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki te ao.”

28Ā, ka mutu ēnei kōrero āna, ka haere ka karanga puku ki tōna teina, ki a Meri, ka mea, “Kua tae mai te Kaiwhakaako, e karanga ana hoki ki a koe.”

29Ā, nō ka rongo ia, hohoro tonu te whakatika, ā, haere ana ki a ia.

30(Nā, kāhore a Īhu i tomo noa ki te kāinga; heoi, kei taua wāhi anō ia i tūtaki ai a Māta ki a ia.)

31I te kitenga o ngā Hūrai e noho ana ki a ia i roto i te whare, e whakamārie ana i a ia, ka hohoro a Meri te whakatika, te puta ki waho. Ka aru rātou i a ia, ka mea, “E haere ana ia ki te urupā, ki reira tangi ai.”

32Ā, nō ka tae a Meri ki te wāhi kei reira nei a Īhu, ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ōna waewae, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kīhai i mate tōku tungāne.”

33Ā, nō ka kite a Īhu i a ia e tangi ana, i ngā Hūrai hoki i haere tahi me ia e tangi ana, ka ngunguru ia, arā tōna wairua, ka kōingo.

34Nā mea, “I whakatakotoria ia e koutou ki hea?” Ka mea rātou ki a ia, “E te Ariki, haere mai kia kite.”

35Tangi ana a Īhu.

36Nā, ka mea ngā Hūrai, “Nanā, tōna aroha ki a ia!”

37Nā, ka mea ētahi o rātou, “Kāhore rānei i taea e tēnei tangata, nāna nei i whakatitiro ngā kanohi o te matapō, te mea i tēnei tangata hoki kia kaua e mate?”

38Nā, ka ngunguru anō a Īhu i roto i a ia, ka haere ki te urupā. He ana ia, kua oti te pā ki te kōhatu.

39Ka mea a Īhu, “Tangohia atu e koutou te kōhatu.” Ka mea ki a ia a Māta tuahine o te tūpāpaku, “E te Ariki, kua piro noa ake ia; ko tōna pō whā hoki tēnei.”

40Anō rā, ko Īhu ki a ia, “Kīhai koia ahau i mea ki a koe, ki te whakapono koe, e kite koe i te korōria o te Atua?”

41Nā, ka tangohia e rātou te kōhatu i te wāhi i takoto ai te tūpāpaku. Nā, ka ara ake ngā kanohi o Īhu, ka mea ia, “E Pā, ko tāku whakawhetai tēnei ki a koe, mōu i whakarongo ki ahau.

42I mahara anō ahau e rongo tonu ana koe ki ahau; heoi, he whakaaro ki te hunga e tū mai nei i kōrero ai ahau, kia whakapono ai rātou, nāu ahau i tono mai.”

43Ā, nō ka pēnei tāna kī, he nui tōna reo ki te karanga, “E Raharuhi, puta mai!”

44Nā, ko te putanga mai o te tūpāpaku, he mea here ngā ringa me ngā waewae ki ngā tākai; he mea takai tōna mata ki te tauera. Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Wetekia, tukua kia haere.”

45Nā, he tokomaha ngā Hūrai haere nei ki a Meri, ā, i tō rātou kitenga i ngā mea i mea ai a Īhu, ka whakapono ki a ia.

46Ko ētahi o rātou i haere ki ngā Parihi, i kōrero ki a rātou i ngā mea i mahia e Īhu.

47Nā, ka whakaminea he rūnanga e ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā Parihi, ka mea, “Kei te aha tātou nei? He maha hoki ngā merekara e meatia nei e tēnei tangata.

48Ki te pēnei tā tātou tuku i a ia, ka whakapono katoa ki a ia; ā, ka haere mai ngā Rōma, ka tango i tō tātou kāinga, i tō tātou iwi.”

49Nā, ko tētahi o rātou ko Kaiapa, ko te tohunga nui o taua tau, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore koutou e mātau ki tētahi mea.

50Tē whakaaro, he pai mō tātou ki te mate te tangata kotahi mō te iwi, ā, kāhore e ngaro te iwi katoa.”

51Nā, ehara tēnei kōrero i te mea nāna ake, engari, ko te tohunga nui ia mō tērā tau, heoi, ka poropiti kia mate a Īhu mō taua iwi.

52Hāunga anō taua iwi anake, engari, kia whakaminea kia kotahi ngā tamariki a te Atua kua marara noa atu.

53Nō taua rā ake anō, ka rūnanga rātou kia whakamatea ia.

54Koia i mutu ai te haere matanui o Īhu i roto i ngā Hūrai. Heoi, haere atu ana ia i reira ki te wāhi e tata ana ki te koraha, ki tētahi pā, ko Ēparaima te ingoa, ā, noho ana i reira rātou ko āna ākonga.

55Nā, kua tata te Kapenga a ngā Hūrai; he tokomaha hoki i haere atu i taua whenua i mua o te Kapenga ki Hiruhārama ki te pure i a rātou.

56Nā, ka rapu rātou i a Īhu ka kōrerorero ki a rātou anō, i a rātou e tū ana i te temepara, “E pēhea ana ō koutou whakaaro? E kore rānei ia e haere mai ki te hākari?”

57Nā, kua takoto te tikanga a ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā Parihi, ki te mātau tētahi tangata ki te wāhi e noho ai ia, me whakaatu, kia hopukia ai ia e rātou.
