1Ā, i mea anō ia ki āna ākonga, “Tērā tētahi tangata whai rawa i mua, he tuari taonga tōna; ā, ka kōrerotia ki a ia kei te maumauria e ia āna taonga.

2Nā, karangatia ana ia e ia, ā, ka mea atu ia ki a ia, ‘He aha tēnei e rangona nei e ahau mōu? Kōrerotia mai te tikanga o ngā mea i tuaritia e koe; e kore hoki e āhei kia waiho koe hei tuari.’

3“Nā, ko te meatanga a taua tuari i roto i a ia, ‘Me aha ahau? E tangohia ana hoki i ahau te tuaritanga e tōku ariki; e kore ahau e kaha ki te keri; e whakamā ana ahau ki te tono mea māku.

4E mōhio ana ahau ki tāku e mea ai, mō tōku peinga rawatanga atu i te tuaritanga, ka ai ō rātou whare hei tukunga atu mōku.’

5“Nā, ka karangatia e ia tēnei tangata, tēnei tangata o te hunga i a rātou nei ētahi mea a tōna ariki, ka mea ia ki te tuatahi, ‘E hia ngā mea a tōku ariki i a koe?’

6Nā, ka mea tērā, ‘Kotahi rau mēhua hinu.’ Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a ia, ‘Tangohia tāu pukapuka, hohoro te noho, tuhituhia e rima tekau.’

7“Kātahi ia ka mea ki tētahi, ‘E hia hoki i a koe?’ Ka mea ia, ‘Kotahi rau mēhua wīti.’ Nā, ka mea ia ki a ia, ‘Tangohia tāu pukapuka, tuhituhia e waru tekau.’

8“Nā, ka mihia te tuari kino e tōna ariki, mōna i whai whakaaro; engari hoki ngā tamariki o tēnei ao, i tō rātou whakapaparanga, nui kē te whakaaro i tō ngā tamariki o te mārama.

9Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, waiho te taonga kino hei mea i ētahi hoa aroha mō koutou; mō te hē rawa iho, ka ai he tukunga atu mō koutou ki ngā whare ora tonu.

10“Ko ia e pono ana ki te mea nohinohi rawa, e pono anō i te mea nui; ko ia e kore e tika i te mea nohinohi rawa, e kore anō e tika i te mea nui.

11Nā, ki te kāhore i pono tā koutou mahi ki te taonga hē, mā wai e tuku ki a koutou hei tiaki i te taonga pono?

12Ki te kāhore koutou i pono i te mea a te tangata kē, mā wai e hoatu he mea mā koutou ake ki a koutou?

13“E kore e āhei i te pononga te mahi ki ngā rangatira tokorua; ka kino hoki ki tētahi, ka aroha ki tētahi; ka ū rānei ki tētahi, ka whakahāwea ki tētahi. E kore e āhei i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.”

14Ā, ko ngā Parihi, he hunga apoapo moni i rongo ki ēnei mea katoa, ā, ka whakahī rātou ki a ia.

15Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rātou, “Ko koutou te hunga e whakatikatika ana i a koutou anō i te aroaro o ngā tāngata; ko te Atua ia e mātau ana ki ō koutou ngākau; ko te mea hoki e whakanuia ana e ngā tāngata hei mea whakarihariha i te aroaro o te Atua.

16“I tutuki te ture me ngā poropiti ki a Hoani; nō reira i kauwhautia mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ā, tāruke ana ngā tāngata katoa ki roto.

17Erangi te pahemotanga o te rangi, o te whenua e takoto noa ana, e kore ia tētahi tohu o te ture e taka.

18“Ki te whakarere tētahi i tāna wahine, ā, ka mārena i tētahi atu, e pūremu ana ia; ki te mārena tētahi te wahine kua whakarērea e te tangata, e pūremu ana ia.”

19“Nā, tērā tētahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kākahu pāpura ōna, he rīnena pai, ā, ko tāna mahi he kai tonu i ngā kai papai i ngā rā katoa.

20Nā, ka whakatakotoria ki tōna kūwaha tētahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tūwhenua,

21e hiahia ana hoki kia whāngaia ki ngā kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tēpu a te tangata taonga; ā, ko ngā kurī rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ōna mate.

22“Nāwai ā, ka mate te tangata rawakore, ā, kawea ana e ngā anahera ki te uma o Āperahama. Ā, ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, ā, tanumia ana.

23Ā, i te rēinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Āperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tōna uma.

24Nā, ka karanga ia, ka mea, ‘E pā, e Āperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tōna matihao ki te wai, hei whakamātao i tōku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tēnei mura.’

25“Otirā, ka mea a Āperahama, ‘E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe āu mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia ngā mea i a Raharuhi; nā, ka whakamārietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe.

26Hāunga anō ēnei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapūmau tētahi tawhā nui i waenganui o koutou, o mātou. Ā, ki te mea ētahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e āhei; e kore anō e whiti mai i konā ki a mātou.’

27“Anō rā ko tērā, ‘Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pā, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o tōku pāpā;

28tokorima hoki ōku tēina? Kia kōrero ai ia ki a rātou, kei haere mai hoki rātou ki tēnei wāhi mamae.’

29“Ka mea a Āperahama ki a ia, ‘Kei a rātou rā a Mohi rātou ko ngā poropiti; me whakarongo ki a rātou.’

30“Ka mea ia, ‘Kāhore, e pā, e Āperahama, engari ki te haere atu tētahi ki a rātou o te hunga mate, ka rīpenetā rātou.’

31“Nā, ka mea tērā ki a ia, ‘Ki te kore rātou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki ngā poropiti hoki, e kore anō e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.’ ”
