Maori - The Reality of Hell

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28

Pentateuka me te Hītori Ka ngiha hoki te ahi i ahau e riri ana, ka toro atu ki te takere rawa o te reinga, ka pau te whenua me ōna hua, ka tahuna hoki ngā turanga o ngā maunga. (Deuteronomy 32:22) I karapotia ahau e ngā mamae o te reinga; i āraia ahau e ngā mahanga o te mate. I ahau e pāwera ana, i karanga ahau ki a Ihowā, i karanga ki tōku Atua: ā, i whakarongo ia ki tōku reo i roto i tōna temepara, ā, i tae atu taku karanga ki ōna taringa. 2 Hamuera 22:6-7

Roriata E kitea rānei e koe te Atua mā te rapunga? E kitea rānei e koe te Kaha Rawa ki te tino tika? Kei te rangi te tiketike; he aha tāu e taea ai? He hohonu iho i te reinga; he aha tāu e mōhio ai? Hopa 11:7-8 E takoto kau ana te reinga i tōna aroaro, kāhore hoki he hipoki mō te whakangaromanga. Hopa 26:6 Ka hurihia te hunga kino ki te reinga, me ngā iwi katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua. Ngā Waiata 9:17 E kore hoki e waiho e koe tōku wairua i te reinga, e kore anō hoki e tukua tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. Ngā Waiata 16:10 I karapotia ahau e ngā here o te reinga: i āraia ahau e ngā mahanga o te mate. Ngā Waiata 18:5 Kia mau tonu rātou i te mate, kia heke ora atu rātou ki te reinga: kei roto hoki i ō rātou nohoanga, kei waenganui i a rātou te kino. Ngā Waiata 55:15 He nui hoki tau mahi tohu ki ahau: a kua whakaorangia e koe toku wairua i te reinga i raro rawa. Ngā Waiata 86:13 I karapotia ahau e ngā mamae o te mate, i mau pū ahau i ngā mamae o te reinga: i kite ahau i te raruraru, i te pouri. Ngā Waiata 116:3

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 Ki te piki ahau ki te rangi, kei reira koe: ki te wharikitia e ahau toku moenga ki te reinga, nana, kei reira koe. Ngā Waiata 139:8 Ko ngā ngutu hoki o te wahine ke, e maturuturu ana i te honikoma, he māeneene ake tōna mangai i te hinu: ko tōna mutunga ia he kawa rawa, he koi, he hoari mata rua. Ko ōna waewae e heke ana ki te mate, ko ōna takahanga e mau ana ki te reinga. Whakataukī 5:3-5 Whakarongo mai ki ahau ināianei, e ngā tamariki, kia whai whakaaro hoki ki ngā kupu a tōku mangai. Kaua e anga kē ō koutou ngākau ki ōna ara, kaua hoki e kotiti ke i ōna ara. He tokomaha hoki ngā tāngata i patua e ia, āe, he tokomaha ngā tāngata kaha kua patua e ia. Ko tōna whare te ara ki te reinga, e heke ana ki ngā rūma o te mate. Whakataukī 7:24-27 He wahine wairangi, he tangata karanga noa iho ia; he kuware ia, kahore hoki ona mohio ki tetahi mea. E noho ana hoki ia i te kuwaha o tona whare, i runga i te nohoanga i nga wahi tiketike o te pa, hei karanga i nga kaihaerere e tika ana te haere i o ratou ara: Ko te kuware, me peka mai ia ki konei: ko te tangata whakaarokore, ka mea ia ki a ia, He reka te wai tahae, a he reka te taro e kainga pukutia ana. Otira kahore ia e mohio kei reira nga tupapaku; kei roto hoki ana manuhiri i te reinga hohonu.

Whakataukī 9:13-18 Kei te aroaro o Ihowā te reinga me te whakangaromanga: tērā noa atu ngā ngākau o ngā tama a te tangata? Ki te tangata whakaaro nui kei runga te ara o te ora, kia mawehe atu ai ia i te reinga o raro.

Whakataukī 15:11,24 Kaua e kaiponuhia te whiu i te tamaiti: ki te patua hoki ia e koe ki te rakau, e kore ia e mate. Ki te patua ia e koe ki te rakau, a ka whakaorangia e koe tona wairua i te reinga. Whakataukī 23:13-14 E kore e makona te reinga me te whakangaromanga; e kore ano hoki e makona nga kanohi o te tangata. Whakatauki 27:20

Poropititanga Nā reira i whakanui ai te reinga i a ia anō, i whewhera ai i tōna mangai, kahore he mehua: ā, ka heke iho ki reira tō rātou kororia, ō rātou mano tini, tō rātou whakahīhī, me te tangata e whakamanamana ana. Ihaia 5:14 Kua oho te reinga i raro, he mea ki a koe, kia tutaki ai ki a koe i tou taenga mai; kua whakaarahia e ia ngā tūpāpaku, ara ngā rangatira katoa o te whenua; kua whakaarahia e ia i runga i ō rātou torona ngā kingi katoa o ngā iwi. Heoi ka whakahokia koe ki te reinga, ki ngā pito rawa o te rua. Ihaia 14:9,15 Nā te mea kua mea koutou, Kua whakarite kawenata mātou ki te mate, kua whakarite hoki mātou ki te reinga; ki te tika te whiu e waipuke ana, e kore e tae mai ki a mātou: kua meinga hoki e mātou te teka hei piringa mō mātou, ā, kua huna mātou i a mātou ki raro i te teka. Ka whakataka hoki tā koutou kawenata ki te mate, e kore hoki e tu tā koutou kawenata ki te reinga; ki te tika te whiu e waipuke ana i waenganui, ka takatakahia koutou e ia. Ihaia 28:15,18 I haere atu koe ki te kingi me te hinu, a whakanuia ana e koe au hinu kakara, unga ana e koe au karere ki tawhiti, whakaititia ana koe e koe ano ki raro rawa ki te reinga. Ihaia 57:9

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 I meinga e ahau ngā iwi kia wiri i te haruru o tōna hinganga, i taku makanga i a ia ki raro ki te reinga, me te hunga e heke ana ki te rua: ā, ko ngā rākau katoa o Ētene, ko ngā mea whiriwhiri, ko ngā mea papai o Repanona, ko te hunga katoa e inu wai ana, ka whai whakamarietanga i ngā wahi o raro rawa o te whenua. I heke tahi anō rātou me ia ki te reinga, ki te hunga i patua ki te hoari; me te hunga i waiho hei ringa mona, i noho i raro i tōna taumarumarutanga i waenganui o ngā iwi. Ehekiera 31:1617 Ka kōrero mai ngā toa o te hunga kaha ki a ia i waenganui o te reinga, me ōna kaiawhina: kua heke rātou ki raro, kua takoto kokotikore, he mea patu ki te hoari. E kore hoki rātou e takoto tahi me ngā toa o te hunga kokotikore kua hinga, kua heke ki te reinga me ā rātou patu whawhai: kua whakatakotoria e rātou ā rātou hoari ki raro i ō rātou mahunga, ā, kei runga i ō rātou wheua ō rātou kino, i te mea ko te wehi o te hunga kaha i te whenua o te hunga ora. Ezekiel 32:21,27 Ahakoa keri ratou ki te reinga, ka tangohia ratou e toku ringa i reira; ahakoa piki ratou ki te rangi, ka riro iho ratou i ahau i reira: Amoho 9:2 I mea ia, I karanga ahau ki a Ihowa, he nui hoki toku mamae; a whakarongo mai ana ia ki ahau; i karanga ahau i roto i te kopu o te reinga, a whakarongo mai ana koe ki toku reo. Hona 2:2 Āe rā, nā te mea he hara tana waina, he tangata whakakake ia, kāore e noho ki te kāinga, e whakanui ana i tōna hiahia pērā i te reinga, ā, e rite ana ki te mate, e kore e makona, engari e kohikohi ana i ngā iwi katoa ki a ia, e kohikohi ana i ngā tāngata katoa ki a ia: Hapakuka 2:5

Ngā Rongopai me ngā Mahi Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te riri noa tetahi ki tona teina, ka tau te he ki te whakawakanga; a ki te mea tetahi ki tona teina, Wairangi! ka tau te he ki te runanga; ki te mea ia tetahi, Kuware! ka tau te he ki te ahi o Kehena. Ki te he hoki tou kanohi matau, tikarohia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe kia ngaro tetahi o ou wahi, kaua e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. Ki te he hoki tou ringa matau, tapahia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe kia ngaro tetahi o ou wahi, kaua e maka tou tinana katoa ki Kehena. Matiu 5:22,29-30 Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 Ā, ko koe, e Kaperenauma, e whakanuia ana, ā tae noa ki te rangi, ka heke koe ki te reinga: me i meatia hoki ki Horoma ngā merekara kua meatia nei ki a koe, kua tu tonu ia a taea noatia tēnei rā.

Matiu 11:23 Nāku anō tēnei kupu ki a koe, Ko Pita koe, ā ka hanga e ahau taku hāhi ki runga ki tēnei kamaka; e kore anō hoki e taea taua hāhi e ngā kūaha o te reinga. Matiu 16:18 Ā, ki te hē koe i tōu kanohi, tikarohia, maka atu: he pai ke hoki ki a koe te tomo kanohi kotahi ki te ora, i te maka kanohi rua ki te ahi o Kehena. Matiu 18:9

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 Aue, te mate mō koutou, e ngā karaipi, e ngā Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhio ana hoki koutou i te moana me te whenua, kia riro mai ai tētahi hei porohiraiti, ā, ki te riro mai ia, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mō Kehena, kia rua atu i a koutou. E ngā nakahi, e te uri nakahi, me pēhea koutou ka mawhiti ai i te whakawakanga mō Kehena? Matiu 23:15,33 Ki te hē koe i tōu ringa, tapahia: he pai ke hoki mōu te tomo ki te ora me te ringa kotahi, i te maka ki te reinga me ōu ringa e rua, ki te ahi e kore e tineia: Ki te hē hoki tōu waewae, tapahia: he pai ke hoki mōu te tomo kopa ki te ora me ōu waewae e rua, i te maka ki te reinga me ōu waewae e rua, ki te ahi e kore e tineia: Ki te hē hoki tōu kanohi, tika atu: he pai ke hoki mōu te tomo kanohi kotahi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua me ōu kanohi e rua, i te maka ki te ahi o te reinga me ōu kanohi e rua: Maka 9:43,45,47 Ā, ko koe, e Kaperenauma, e whakanuia ana koe ki te rangi? Ka maka koe ki raro ki te reinga. Ruka 10:15 Engari māku e whakaatu ki a koutou ta koutou e wehi ai: E wehi ki a ia, kei a ia nei te mana ki te maka ki Kehena, i muri i tana whakamatenga; ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, E wehi ki a ia.

Ruka 12:5 A i te reinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Āperahāma i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tōna uma. Ruka 16:23 Nā te mea e kore koe e waiho i tōku wairua ki te reinga, e kore anō hoki e tukua tō Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. I kite ia i tēnei i mua, i kōrero ai mō te aranga mai o te Karaiti, ara, kāore tōna wairua i waiho ki te reinga, kāore anō tōna kikokiko i kite i te pirau. Ngā Mahi 2:27,31

Ngā Episetole me te Whakakitenga He ahi anō hoki te arero, he ao o te kino: pērā tonu te arero i roto i ō tātou wahi, e poke ana i te tinana katoa, e ngiha ana i te taiao, ā, e ngiha ana i te reinga. Hemi 3:6 Mehemea hoki kihai i tohungia e te Atua ngā anahera i hara, engari i maka ratou e ia ki te reinga, i tukua ki ngā mekameka pouri, kia tiakina mo te whakawa; 2 Pita 2:4 Ko ahau te Mea Ora; i mate hoki ahau i mua: na, e ora nei ahau a ake tonu atu, Āmene; kei ahau anō ngā kī o te reinga rāua ko te mate. Whakakitenga 1:18 A ka kite ahau, na, he hoiho ha ma: a ko te kainoho i runga i a ia, ko tona ingoa ko te Mate, a i aru te Reinga i a ia. I hoatu ano ki a ratou te mana ki te tuawha o nga wahi o te whenua, kia whakamatea ki te hoari, ki te matekai, ki te mate, ki nga kararehe hoki o te whenua. Whakakitenga 6:8 Nā, ka tukua mai e te moana te hunga mate i roto i a ia; ā, ka tukua mai e te mate me te reinga te hunga mate i roto i a rāua: ā, ka whakawakia ia tangata, ia tangata, i runga i ā rātou mahi. Nā, ka maka te mate me te reinga ki te roto ahi. Ko te tuarua tēnei o ngā mate. Whakakitenga 20:13-14

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28

Apokaripa Ka taupokina koe e ōku ringa, kei kite āu tamariki i te reinga. 2 Etera 2:29 Tērā pea ka mea koe ki ahau, Kāore ahau i heke ki te hōhonu, kāore anō kia tae ki te reinga, kāore anō hoki ahau i piki ki te rangi. 2 Etera 4:8 Kua hiritia te pūtake o te kino i a koe, kua huna te ngoikore i a koe, ā, kua rere te pirau ki te reinga kia warewaretia: 2 Etera 8:53 E whiua ana hoki e ia, e aroha ana: e arahina ana e ia ki raro ki te reinga, e whakaarahia ake ana: kahore hoki he tangata e taea te karo i tona ringa. Tobit 13:2 Kei a koe hoki te mana o te ora me te mate: ka arahina e koe ki ngā kūaha o te reinga, ā, ka whakaarahia ake anō e koe. Te Whakaaro Nui o Horomona 16:13 Engari i moe tahi rāua i taua pō, he moe tino uaua rawa, ā, i tau mai ki a rāua i ngā takere o te reinga e kore e taea te karo, Te Whakaaro Nui o Horomona 17:14 Kua whakamāramahia te ara o te hunga hara ki ngā kōhatu, engari ko tōna mutunga ko te poka o te reinga. Ko te Kōrero 21:10 He Inoi nā Ihu tama a Hiraka. Ka whakawhetai atu ahau ki a koe, e te Ariki, e te Kingi, ka whakamoemiti atu hoki ki a koe, e te Atua, e tōku Kaiwhakaora: Ka whakamoemiti atu ahau ki tōu ingoa: Ko koe hoki tōku kai tiaki, tōku kaiawhina, ā, kua tiaki i tōku tinana i te whakangaromanga, i te mahanga a te arero kōrero kino, i ngā ngutu e tito teka ana, ā, ko koe tōku kaiawhina ki ōku hoariri: Ā, kua whakaorangia ahau e koe, i te nui o ōu aroha me te nui o tōu ingoa, i ngā niho o te hunga e tata ana ki te kai i ahau, i te ringa o te hunga e whai ana kia whakamatea ahau, i ngā tini mate i pā ki ahau; I te ngau kino o te ahi i ngā taha katoa, i waenganui hoki o te ahi kāore i tahuna e ahau; I te hohonutanga o te puku o te reinga, i te arero poke, i ngā kupu teka. Nā te whakapae ki te kingi nā te arero kino i tata ai tōku wairua ki te mate, i tata tōku ora ki te reinga i raro. I karapotia ahau e rātou i ngā taha katoa, ā, kāore he tangata hei awhina i ahau: i titiro ahau ki te awhina a te tangata, engari kāore he tangata. Kātahi ahau ka whakaaro ki tōu aroha, e te Ariki, ki āu mahi o mua, ki tōu whakaoranga i te hunga e tatari ana ki a koe, ki tōu whakaora i a rātou i roto i ngā ringa o ngā hoariri.

Koh 51:1-8 E Anania, e Ataria, e Mihaera, whakapaingia a Ihowa: whakamoemititia ia, whakanuia hoki ake ake: nana hoki tatou i whakaora i te reinga, nana hoki tatou i whakaora i te ringa o te mate, nana tatou i whakaora i roto i te oumu me te mura e mura ana: na roto i te ahi kua whakaorangia tatou e ia. Inoi a Ataria 1:66

Enoka Ā, i aua rā ka whakahokia mai e te whenua te mea i tukua ki a ia, ā, ka whakahokia mai anō hoki e te reinga te mea i riro mai i a ia, ā, ka whakahokia mai anō hoki e te reinga te mea e tika ana kia hoatu e ia. Enoka 51:1

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28

Ngā Pukapuka Ngaro o te Paipera Te Rongopai a Nikorima 13 1 E te Ariki, e Ihu, e te Matua, ko koe te Atua, te aranga mai me te oranga o te hunga mate, tukua mai kia whakapuakina e mātou āu mea ngaro, i kitea e mātou i muri i te matenga, nō tōu ripeka; kua oatitia hoki mātou ki tōu ingoa.

2 Nāu hoki i ārai i ō pononga kia kaua e whakapuaki i ngā mea ngaro, i mahia e tōu mana atua i te reinga.

3 I tō tātou nohoanga tahitanga me ō tātou mātua ki te hōhonutanga o te reinga, i te pōuriuri, kātahi ka puta te tae o te rā, he rite ki te koura, ā, he māramatanga papura nui e whakamārama ana i te wāhi.

4 I taua wā tonu, ka hari a Ātama, te matua o te tangata katoa, me ngā tupuna me ngā poropiti katoa, ka mea, Ko taua māramatanga te pūtake o te māramatanga mutunga kore, nāna nei i oati ki te kawe i a tātou ki te māramatanga mutunga kore.

5 Kātahi ka karanga a Ihaia te poropiti, ka mea, Ko te māramatanga tēnei o te Matua, o te Tama hoki a te Atua, e ai ki taku poropititanga, i ahau e ora ana i runga i te whenua.

6 Ko te whenua o Hepurona, me te whenua o Napatari i tera taha o Horano, he iwi i haereere i te pouri, i kite i te marama nui; a ki te hunga i noho i te rohe o te atarangi o te mate, kua ara te marama.

Na kua tae mai ia, kua whakamarama i a tatou, i noho nei i te mate.

7 Ā, i a mātou e hari ana i te māramatanga i whiti mai ki runga i a mātou, ka puta mai tō mātou matua, a Himiona, i waenganui i a mātou, ka mihi ki te whakaminenga katoa, ka mea, Kia whakakororiatia te Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti, te Tama a te Atua.

8 I hikitia ia e ahau i roto i ōku ringa, i ahau e tamariki ana i roto i te temepara, ā, i te mea ka whakaohokia ia e te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ahau ki a ia, ka whakaae, Kua kite nei ōku kanohi i tāu whakaoranga, kua whakaritea nei e koe ki te aroaro o te iwi katoa, he māramatanga hei whakamārama i ngā Tauiwi, hei kororia hoki mō tau iwi, mō Iharaira.

9 I te rongonga o te hunga tapu katoa i te hohonutanga o te reinga i tēnei, nui atu te hari.

10 Muri iho ka puta mai tetahi, he rite ki te moke iti, ā, ka pātai katoa ki a ia, Ko wai koe?

11 Ka whakahoki ia, Ko ahau te reo o tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, ko Hoani Kaiiriiri, ko te poropiti hoki a te Runga Rawa, i haere i mua i tona taenga mai ki te whakapai i tona ara, ki te homai i te matauranga ki tana iwi mo te murunga hara.

12 Ā, ko ahau, ko Hoani, i taku kitenga i a Ihu e haere mai ana ki ahau, i te mea e whakaohokia ana e te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ahau, Nana, te Reme a te Atua, nana, ko ia e tango atu ana i nga hara o te ao.

13 Ā, i iriiria ia e ahau ki te awa o Horano, ā, i kite ahau i te Wairua Tapu e heke iho ana ki runga ki a ia i roto i te āhua o te kūkupa, ā, i rongo ahau i te reo i te rangi, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama aroha tēnei, ko ia taku i tino ahuareka ai.

14 Nā, i ahau e haere ana i mua i a ia, i heke iho ahau ki konei ki te whakamōhio atu ki a koutou, ka toro mai te Tama a te Atua ki a tātou, ā, ka rite ki te puaotanga o te ata i runga, ka tae mai ki a tātou, e noho nei i te pōuri me te atarangi o te mate.

Rongopai a Nikorima 14 1 I te rongonga o te tangata tuatahi, o tō tātou matua, o Ātama, i ēnei mea, i iriiria a Ihu ki Horano, ka karanga ia ki tana tama, ki a Heta, ka mea, 2 Kōrerotia ki ā koutou tama, ki ngā tupuna me ngā poropiti, ngā mea katoa i rongo ai koutou i a Mikaera, te anahera nui, i taku tononga i a koutou ki ngā kūaha o Pararaiha, kia inoi ki te Atua kia whakawahia e ia tōku mahunga i ahau e mate ana.

3 Kātahi ka whakatata atu a Heta ki ngā tupuna me ngā poropiti, ka mea, Ko ahau, e Heta, i ahau e inoi ana ki te Atua i ngā kūaha o Pararaiha, ka kite ahau i te anahera a te Ariki, a Mikaera i puta mai

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 ki ahau, e mea ana, I tonoa mai ahau e te Ariki ki a koe; kua whakaritea ahau hei rangatira mō ngā tinana tangata.

4 Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, e Heta, kaua e inoi ki te Atua me te tangi, kaua hoki e inoi ki a ia mō te hinu o te rākau o te aroha hei whakawahi i tōu matua, i a Ātama, mō tōna mamae o te mahunga; 5 Nā te mea e kore e taea e koe te whiwhi i tēnei mea tae noa ki te rā me ngā wā whakamutunga, arā, kia pahemo rā anō ngā tau e rima mano e rima rau.

6 Ko reira a te Karaiti, te Tama aroha rawa a te Atua, ka haere mai ki te whenua ki te whakaara anō i te tinana tangata o Ātama, ā, i taua wā anō ka whakaara anō i ngā tinana o te hunga mate, ā, ina tae mai ia ka iriiria ia ki Horano: 7 Kātahi ka whakawahia e ia ki te hinu o tōna aroha te hunga katoa e whakapono ana ki a ia; ā, ka mau tonu te hinu o tōna aroha ki ngā whakatupuranga o muri mai, mō te hunga ka whānau i te wai, i te Wairua Tapu, ki te ora tonu.

8 Ā, i taua wā ka heke iho te Tama tino atawhai a te Atua, a Karaiti Ihu, ki te whenua, ka kawea mai e ia tō tātou matua, a Ātama, ki Pararaiha, ki te rākau o te aroha.

9 I te rongonga o ngā tupuna me ngā poropiti katoa i ēnei mea katoa i a Heta, nui atu tō rātou hari.

Rongopai a Nikorima 15 1 I a te hunga tapu katoa e hari ana, ka mea a Hātana, te rangatira me te kāpene o te mate, ki te rangatira o te reinga, 2 Kia rite ki te manaaki i a Ihu o Nahareta, i whakamanamana nei ko ia te Tama a te Atua, heoi he tangata i wehi i te mate, i mea, Kei te pouri toku wairua, tata ki te mate.

3 Haunga ia, he maha ngā whara i mahia e ia ki ahau, ki te tini hoki o ētahi atu; ko te hunga i meinga e ahau kia matapo, kia kopa, me te hunga i whakamamaetia e ahau ki ngā rewera maha, i whakaorangia e ia ki tana kupu; āe, ko te hunga i kawea mai e ahau kia mate ki a koe, ka tangohia atu e ia i a koe mā te kaha.

4 Nā, ka whakahoki te rangatira o te reinga ki a Hātana, Ko wai rā taua rangatira kaha rawa, engari he tangata e wehi ana i te mate?

5 Kei raro hoki i tōku mana ngā rangatira katoa o te ao, i pehia ai rātou e koe ki raro, ki tōu mana.

6 Otirā, ki te mea he kaha rawa tōna i roto i tōna āhua tangata, ka whakaū pono ahau ki a koe, he mana nui ia i roto i tōna āhua atua, ā, kāore he tangata e kaha ki te whakahē i tōna mana.

7 Nā reira, i tana meatanga i wehi ia i te mate, i whakaaro ia ki te hopu i a koe, ā, ka pōuri koe ake ake.

8 Kātahi ka whakahoki a Hātana, ka mea ki te rangatira o te reinga, He aha koe i ruarua ai, i wehi ai hoki ki te tango i a Ihu o Nahareta, i tō hoa whawhai, i tōku hoki?

9 Ko ahau ia, i whakamatautauria ia e ahau, i whakaohokia hoki e ahau oku kaumatua, nga Hurai, ki te hae, ki te riri ki a ia?

10 I whakakoi ahau i te tao hei whakaora i tōna mamae; i whakaranua e ahau te au me te winika, ā, i whakahaua e ahau kia inumia e ia; i whakaritea e ahau te ripeka hei ripeka i a ia, me ngā whao hei wero i ōna ringa me ōna waewae; ā, kua tata tōna matenga, ka kawea mai ia e ahau ki konei, kia ngohengohe ki a koe, ki ahau hoki.

11 Kātahi ka whakahoki te rangatira o te reinga, ka mea, I kī mai koe ki ahau ināianei tonu, i tangohia kahatia e ia te hunga mate i ahau.

12 Ko te hunga i puritia ki konei tae noa ki te wā e ora anō ai rātou ki te whenua, i tangohia atu i konei, ehara i te mea nā ō rātou ake mana, engari nā ngā inoi i tukuna ki te Atua, ā, i tangohia rātou e tō rātou Atua Mana Kaha Rawa i ahau.

13 Ko wai rā a Ihu o Nahareta, nāna nei i tango te hunga mate i ahau, me te kore inoi ki te Atua?

7

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 14 Ko ia pea te tangata nāna i tango atu i ahau a Raharuhi, i muri i tōna matenga e whā ngā rā, ā, i piro, i pirau hoki, ā, i a ia ahau e noho ana i te tinana o te tupapaku, heoi nāna ia i whakaora anō mā tōna mana.

15 Nā ka whakahoki a Hātana, ka mea ki te rangatira o te reinga, Ko taua tangata tonu, ko Ihu o Nahareta.

16 A, no te rongonga o te rangatira o te reinga, ka mea ia ki a ia, He kupu tenei naku ki a koe kia whakaoatitia koe e ahau i runga i te mana o au, o au hoki, kia kaua ia e kawea mai ki ahau.

17 I toku rongonga hoki i te mana o tana kupu, ka wiri ahau i te wehi, a ohorere ana te hunga kino katoa i ahau.

18 Kāore i taea e mātou te pupuri i a Rāharihi, engari i wiri ia i a ia anō, ā, me ngā tohu katoa o te kino, ka haere tonu atu ia i a mātou; ā, ko te oneone tonu i takoto ai te tinana o Rāharihi, i peia ora tonu ia.

19 Ā, e mōhio ana ahau inaianei ko ia te Atua Kaha Rawa e taea ai ēnei mea, he mana tōna rangatiratanga, he mana hoki tōna āhua tangata, ko ia te Kaiwhakaora o te tangata.

20 Nō reira, kaua e kawea mai tēnei tangata ki konei, māna hoki e tuku kia haere noa te hunga katoa e puritia ana e au i raro i te whakaponokore, e herea ana hoki ki ngā mekameka o ō rātou hara, ā, māna rātou e ārahi ki te ora tonu.

Rongopai a Nikorima 16 1 I a Hātana rāua ko te rangatira o te reinga e kōrero ana i ēnei mea tetahi ki tetahi, kātahi ka puta he reo, he rite ki te whatitiri, ki te haruru o ngā hau e pupuhi ana, e mea ana, Kia ara ō koutou kūaha, e ngā rangatira; kia ara ake koutou, e ngā kūaha onamata, ā, ka tomo mai te Kīngi o te Kororia.

2 I te rongonga o te rangatira o te reinga i tēnei, ka mea ia ki a Hātana, Haere atu i ahau, haere atu i ōku nohoanga; ki te mea he toa kaha koe, whawhai ki te Kīngi o te Kororia. Engari he aha tāu mahi ki a ia?

3 Ā, peia ana ia e ia i roto i ōna nohoanga.

4 Nā, ka mea te rangatira ki ana āpiha kino, Katia ngā kūaha parahi o te nanakia, whakauia hoki ki ngā tutaki rino, kia toa hoki te whawhai, kei riro herehere tātou.

5 Nā, i te rongonga o te hunga tapu katoa i tēnei, ka kōrero rātou me te reo riri nui ki te rangatira o te reinga: 6 Whakatuwheratia ōu tatau kia tomo mai ai te Kīngi o te Kororia.

7 Ā, ka karanga te poropiti atua a Rawiri, ka mea, Kāore ianei ahau i poropiti i ahau e noho ana i te whenua, i mea, Aue, me whakamoemiti te tangata ki a Ihowa mo tona atawhai, mo ana mahi whakamiharo ki nga tama a te tangata!

8 Kua wahia hoki e ia ngā tatau parahi, kua tapahia hoki ngā tutaki rino. Nā tō rātou kino i hopukia ai rātou e ia, nā tō rātou hē hoki i tukinotia ai rātou.

9 I muri iho i tēnei ka kōrero tetahi atu poropiti, a Ihaia tapu, i te ara kotahi ki te hunga tapu katoa, Kāore ianei ahau i poropiti tika ki a koutou i ahau e ora ana i runga i te whenua?

10 Ka ora te hunga mate, ka ara ake te hunga i roto i ō rātou urupā, ka koa te hunga i runga i te whenua: no te mea ko te tomairangi o Ihowa hei whakaora i a rātou.

11 Ā, i tētahi atu wāhi ka mea ahau, E te mate, kei hea tō wikitoria? E te mate, kei hea tō wero?

12 I te rongonga o te hunga tapu katoa i ēnei mea i kōrerotia e Ihaia, ka mea rātou ki te rangatira o te reinga, Whakatuwheratia ō kūaha, tangohia atu ō tutaki rino; kua herea hoki koe ināianei, ā, kāore he mana.

13 Kātahi ka puta he reo nui, me te mea he whatitiri e mea ana, Kia ara ake ō koutou tatau, e ngā rangatira; kia ara ake koutou, e ngā tatau o te reinga, ā ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia ki roto.

14 I te rongonga o te rangatira o te reinga i taua reo anō, ka karanga anō ia me te mea kāore i te mōhio, Ko wai te Kingi o te Kororia?

8

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 15 Ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki te rangatira o te reinga, ka mea, E mārama ana ahau ki ngā kupu a taua reo, nā te mea i kōrerotia e ahau i roto i tōna wairua. Nā, ka rite ki taku i kōrero ai i runga ake nei, ko taku kupu tēnei ki a koe, e te Ariki, e te kaha, e te mana nui, e te Ariki, e te mana nui i te whawhai: ko ia te Kīngi o te Kororia, ko ia hoki te Ariki i te rangi, i te whenua; 16 Kua titiro iho ia ki raro ki te whakarongo ki te aue a te hunga herehere, ki te tuku i te hunga kua whakaritea mo te mate.

17 Nā, e te rangatira poke, piro hoki o te reinga, whakatuwheratia ō tatau, kia tomo ai te Kīngi o te Kororia; ko ia hoki te Ariki o te rangi me te whenua.

18 I a Rawiri e kōrero ana i ēnei mea, ka puta mai te Ariki nui i roto i te āhua o te tangata, ā, ka whakamārama i ngā wāhi i pōuriuri i mua.

19 Ā, wahia ana e ia ngā mekameka kihai i taea te whati i mua; ā, nā tōna mana kahakore i tirotiro ai ia i te hunga e noho ana i te pōuri kerekere i te kino, i te atarangi o te mate i te hara.

Rongopai a Nikorima 17 1 I te rongonga o te Mate Whakarihariha me ana rangatira nanakia i ēnei mea, ka mau te wehi i roto i ō rātou kingitanga, i te kitenga i te māramatanga o te māramatanga, 2 Ā, ka puta whakarere mai a te Karaiti i roto i ō rātou kāinga; nā reira ka karanga rātou, ka mea, Kua herea mātou e koe; te āhua nei kei te whakaaro koe kia whakararuraru mātou i te aroaro o te Ariki.

3 Ko wai koe, kāore nei he tohu pirau, engari ko te āhua kanapa e tohu ana i tōu nui, engari kāore koe e aro atu ana ki tēnā?

4 Ko wai koe, e te tangata kaha, e te tangata ngoikore, e te tangata nui, e te tangata iti, he hōia noa iho, e taea te whakahau i roto i te āhua o te pononga, pērā i te hōia noa?

5 Ko te Kīngi o te Kororia, kua mate, kua ora, ahakoa i whakamatea i runga i te ripeka?

6 Nā wai i takoto mate ki te urupā, ā, kua heke ora mai ki a tātou, ā, i tōu matenga i wiri ai ngā mea ora katoa, i oho ai ngā whetū katoa, ā, kua riro i a koe tō herekoretanga i roto i te hunga mate, ā, kua whakararuraru i a tātou ope?

7 Ko wai koe, e tuku nei i ngā herehere i herea e te hara taketake, ā, e whakahoki mai ana i a rātou ki tō rātou herekoretanga o mua?

8 Ko wai koe, e hora nei i te māramatanga kororia, tapu hoki ki runga i te hunga i whakamatapotia e te pōuri o te hara?

9 Waihoki, i pāngia ngā rīpene rewera katoa e te wehi nui, ā, me te tino mataku, ka karanga rātou, ka mea, 10 Nō hea koe, e Ihu Karaiti, he tangata mana nui, he tangata kororia, he tangata kanapa, kāore he ira, he tangata parakore, kāore he hara? Nā te mea ko te ao o raro rawa, i raro i a mātou tae noa mai ki tēnei wā, ā, nō reira mātou i whiwhi takoha ai, kāore anō kia tukuna mai he tangata mate pēnei ki a mātou i mua, kāore anō hoki kia tukuna mai he koha pēnei ki ngā rangatira o te reinga.

11 Ko wai rā koe, e tomo mai nei ki roto i ō tātou kāinga me te maia, ā, kāore koe e wehi ki te whakawehi i a tātou ki ngā whiu nui rawa atu, engari e ngana ana hoki koe ki te whakaora i ētahi atu katoa i ngā mekameka e mau nei tātou i a rātou?

12 Ko koe pea taua Ihu, i kōrerotia nei e Hātana ki tō tātou rangatira, nā te matenga o te ripeka i tata ai koe te whiwhi ki te mana o te mate.

13 Kātahi ka takahia e te Kīngi o te Kororia te mate, ka hopukina te rangatira o te reinga, ka tangohia tōna mana katoa, ā, ka haria tō tātou matua o te whenua, a Ātama, ki tōna kororia.

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 Te Rongopai a Nikorima 18 1 Kātahi ka hopukina a Hātana e te rangatira o te reinga, ā, me te tohu nui, ka mea atu ki a ia, E te rangatira o te whakangaromanga, te kaituhi o te hinganga me te peinga o Perehepura, te tawai a ngā anahera a te Atua, e whakariharihangia ana e te hunga tika katoa! He aha koe i mea ai i tēnei mahi?

2 I ripekatia e koe te Kīngi o te Kororia, ā, nā tōna whakangaromanga i homai ai e koe he kupu whakaari mō ngā painga nui ki a mātou, engari i rite koe ki te kuware, kāore i te mōhio ki tāu mahi.

3 Nā, tirohia hoki, kua peia e Ihu o Nahareta, me te kanapa o tōna atuatanga kororia, ngā mana whakamataku katoa o te pōuri me te mate; 4 Kua wahia e ia ō tātou whare herehere mai i runga ki raro, kua tukuna ngā herehere katoa, kua tukuna te hunga katoa i herea, ā, ko te hunga katoa i aue i mua i te taumaha o ō rātou whakamamaetanga kua tawai mai ki a tātou, ā, kua rite tātou ki te hinga i ā rātou inoi.

5 Kua pehia ō tātou mana karakiakore, ā, kāore he wāhanga o te tangata e toe ana i raro i ō tātou mana, engari i tētahi atu ringa, kei te whakahē maia katoa rātou i a tātou; 6 Ahakoa i mua, kāore te hunga mate i maia ki te whakahihi ki a tātou, ā, i te mea he herehere rātou, e kore rawa rātou e hari i tētahi wā.

7 E Hātana, e te rangatira o te hunga kino katoa, e te matua o te hunga karakiakore me te hunga kua whakarērea, he aha koe ka whakamātau ai i tēnei mahi, i te mea kua kore rawa he tumanako mō te whakaoranga me te ora i roto i ō tātou herehere i mua?

8 Inaianei ia, kāhore tetahi o rātou e aue ana, kāhore hoki he roimata e puta mai ana i ō rātou mata.

9 E te rangatira a Hātana, e te kaitiaki nui o ngā rohe o te reinga, ko ō painga katoa i riro mai i a koe i te rākau tapu, me te ngaronga o Pararaiha, kua ngaro i a koe i te rākau o te ripeka; 10 Ā, i mutu katoa tō hari i taua wā, i te wā i ripekatia ai e koe a Ihu Karaiti, te Kīngi o te Kororia.

11 Kua mahi koe i tetahi mea e kore e tika mōu ake, mōku hoki, e kitea ana e koe i roto i ngā whakamamaetanga nunui me ngā whiu mutunga kore e tata nei koe te pā ki a koe.

12 E Hātana, e te rangatira o ngā kino katoa, e te pūtake o te mate, e te pūtake o ngā whakapehapeha katoa, me i tuatahi koe ki te uiui i ngā hara kino a Ihu o Nahareta, kātahi ka kitea e koe kāore he hara i tika mōna kia mate.

13 He aha koe i whakamātau ai, kāore he take, kāore hoki he tika, ki te ripeka i a ia, ā, i kawe mai ai koe i tētahi tangata harakore, tika ki tō mātou rohe, ā, i ngaro ai i a koe ngā tāngata hara katoa, ngā tāngata karakiakore, ngā tāngata hē o te ao katoa?

14 I a te rangatira o te reinga e kōrero ana ki a Hātana, ka mea te Kīngi o te Kororia ki a Perehepura, te rangatira o te reinga, E Hātana, ka noho te rangatira ki raro i tō mana ake ake, hei whakakapi mō Ātama me āna tama tika, nōku.

Te Rongopai a Nikorima 19 1 Kātahi ka totoro te ringa o Ihu, ka mea, Haere mai ki ahau, e aku hunga tapu katoa, i hanga nei i roto i tōku āhua, i whakahengia e te rākau hua rāhui, e te rewera me te mate; 2 Nohoia i runga i te rakau o taku ripeka; kua hinga te rewera, te rangatira o tenei ao, kua hinga hoki te mate.

3 Kātahi ka huihui te hunga tapu katoa i raro i te ringa o te Atua Runga Rawa; ā ka hopukina e te Ariki, e Ihu, te ringa o Ātama, ka mea ki a ia, Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koe, me ō uri tika katoa, nōku nei.

4 Kātahi ka tūohu a Ātama ki ngā waewae o Ihu, ka kōrero ki a ia me te roimata, me te reo whakaiti, me te reo nui, ka mea, 5 Ka whakanui ahau i a koe, e Ihowa, nau hoki ahau i hapai ake, a kihai i meinga oku hoariri kia hari ki ahau. E Ihowa, e toku Atua, i karanga ahau ki a koe, a kua ora ahau i a koe.

6 E Ihowa, nau i whakaputa ake toku wairua i te reinga; nau ahau i whakaora kei heke ki te poka.

10

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 7 Waiata ki a Ihowā, e āna hunga tapu katoa, whakawhetai atu hoki ki tōna ingoa tapu. He iti nei hoki te wā e mau ai tōna riri; engari he ora kei tōna atawhai.

8 Waihoki, ka takoto te hunga tapu katoa ki ngā waewae o Ihu, ka mea kotahi te reo, Kua tae mai koe, e te Kaiwhakaora o te ao, ā, kua oti i a koe ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e koe i roto i te ture me āu poropiti tapu.

9 Nāu i hoko te hunga ora ki tō ripeka, ā, kua heke iho koe ki a mātou, kia whakaorangia ai mātou e koe i te reinga, mā tō mana hoki i te mate.

10 E te Ariki, i te mea kua whakatūria e koe ngā kara o tōu korōria ki te rangi, ā, kua whakatūria e koe te tohu o tōu whakaoranga, ara tōu ripeka ki te whenua; waihoki, e te Ariki, whakatūria te tohu o tōu wikitoria ki te reinga, kia kore ai e taea e te mate te mahi i muri iho.

11 Kātahi ka totoro mai te ringa o te Ariki, ka tohu i te ripeka ki a Ātama, ki tana hunga tapu katoa hoki.

12 Ā, ka hopukina e ia te ringa matau o Ātama, ka piki atu ia i te reinga, me te hunga tapu katoa o te Atua i aru i a ia.

13 Katahi ka karanga maia te poropiti kingi, a Rawiri, ka mea, Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou; he mahi whakamiharo hoki ana; na tona ringa matau, na tona ringa tapu, i riro ai i a ia te wikitoria.

14 Kua whakakitea e Ihowa tana whakaoranga, kua whakapuakina e ia tona tika ki te aroaro o nga tauiwi.

15 Ā, ka whakahoki te mano tini o te hunga tapu, ka mea, Kia whakanuia e te hunga tapu katoa tēnei honore, Āmene, Whakamoemititia a Ihowā.

16 Muri iho, ka karanga te poropiti a Hapakuka, ka mea, I haere koe ki te whakaora i tō iwi, ara ki te whakaora i tō iwi.

17 Ā, ka mea te hunga tapu katoa, Kia whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; nā te Ariki hoki tātou i whakamārama. Ko tō tātou Atua tēnei ake ake; ka kingi ia ki runga i a tātou ake ake, Āmene.

18 Waihoki ko ngā poropiti katoa i kōrero i ngā mea tapu mōna, i aru hoki i te Ariki.

Rongopai a Nikorima 20 1 Kātahi ka pupuri te Ariki i a Ātama i te ringa, ka tukua ia ki a Mikaera te tino anahera; ā, ka arahina rātou e ia ki Pararaiha, ki tonu i te aroha me te kororia; 2 Ā, ka tūtaki ki a rāua ētahi tāne tino kaumātua, ā, ka pātai atu ngā tāngata tapu ki a rāua, Ko wai kōrua, kāore anō kia noho tahi kōrua ki te reinga, ā, kua whakatakotoria ō kōrua tinana ki Pararaiha?

3 Ka whakahoki tetahi o rātou, ka mea, Ko ahau a Enoka, i whakanekehia e te kupu a te Atua: ā, ko tēnei tangata kei ahau nei, ko Iraia te Tihipi, i whakanekehia i roto i te hariata ahi.

4 I konei mātou i mua, kāore anō kia pā ki te mate, engari kua tata mātou te hoki mai i te taenga mai o te Anatikaraiti, me ngā tohu me ngā merekara atua, ki te whawhai ki a ia, ā, kia patua mātou e ia ki Hiruharama, ā, kia tangohia oratia anō mātou ki ngā kapua, i muri i ngā rā e toru me te hawhe.

5 I a Enoka tapu rāua ko Iraia e kōrero ana i tēnei, ka puta mai tētahi atu tangata, he āhua pōuri tōna, e amo ana i te tohu o te ripeka i runga i ōna pokohiwi.

6 Ā, i te kitenga o te hunga tapu katoa i a ia, ka mea rātou ki a ia, Ko wai koe? E rite ana hoki tōu mata ki tō te tahae; ā, he aha koe ka amo ai i te ripeka ki runga i ōu pokohiwi?

7 Nā ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, He tika tāu kōrero; he tahae hoki ahau i mua, ā, i mahi i ngā mahi kino katoa i runga i te whenua.

8 Nā ngā Hūrai ahau i ripeka tahi me Ihu; ā, i kite ahau i ngā mea whakamiharo i tupu i te hanganga i te ripekanga o te Ariki, o Ihu. 9 Ā, i whakapono ahau ko ia te Kaihanga o ngā mea katoa, ko ia hoki te Kīngi Kaha Rawa; ā, i inoi ahau ki a ia, i mea, E te Ariki, kia mahara mai koe ki ahau ina tae mai koe ki tōu rangatiratanga.

11

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 10 I whakarongo tonu mai ia ki taku inoi, ā, ka mea mai ki ahau, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, ko tēnei rā koe ka noho tahi māua ki Pararaiha.

11 Ā, ka homai e ia tēnei tohu ripeka ki ahau, me te mea, Kawea tēnei, ka haere ki Pararaiha; ā, ki te kore te anahera e whakaae ki a koe, whakakitea atu te tohu ripeka ki a ia, me te mea atu ki a ia: Nā Ihu Karaiti kua ripekatia nei ahau i tono mai ki konei ki a koe.

12 I taku mahi i tēnei, ā, i taku kōrerotanga i ēnei mea katoa ki te anahera, te kaitiaki o Pararaiha, ā, i tana rongonga i aua mea, ka whakatuwheratia e ia ngā tatau, ka whakaurua ahau, ā, ka whakanohoia ahau ki te taha matau o Pararaiha, 13 E mea ana, Noho ki konei mō tētahi wā poto, kia tomo mai rā anō a Ātama, te matua o te tangata katoa, me āna tama katoa, ko rātou ngā pononga tapu, ngā pononga tika a Ihu Karaiti, i ripekatia.

14 I te rongonga i tēnei kōrero katoa a te tahae, ka mea ngā tupuna katoa me te reo kotahi, Kia whakapaingia koe, e te Atua Kaha Rawa, te Matua o te pai mutunga kore, me te Matua o ngā tohu aroha, i whakaatu nei i tēnei atawhai ki te hunga hara ki a ia, ā, i kawe mai koe i a rātou ki te aroha o Pararaiha, ā, i whakanoho koe i a rātou ki waenganui i āu kai nui, wairua hoki, ki te oranga wairua, tapu hoki. Āmene.

I heke ia ki te reinga, i ara ake i te hunga mate i te toru o ngā rā; Mai i te Whakapono a ngā Apotoro E mea ana hoki te Ariki, Ka rite koutou ki ngā hipi i waenganui i ngā wuruhi. Ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea, Me aha rā mēnā ka haehaea ngā hipi e ngā wuruhi? Ka mea a Ihu ki a Pita, Kaua e wehi ngā hipi i ngā wuruhi i muri i te matenga: Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate ana i a koutou, ā, i muri i tēnā kāore he mea e taea e rātou te mahi ki a koutou; engari me wehi ki a ia, i muri i tō koutou matenga, kei a ia te mana ki te maka i te wairua me te tinana ki te ahi o te reinga. 2 Keremena ki ngā Kōriniti 3:2

Ngā Pukapuka o Ētene kua Warewaretia Kātahi ka puta te Kupu a te Atua ki a Ātama, ka mea ki a ia: E Ātama, mō tāu i mea ai, Kawea ahau ki tētahi whenua e okioki ana, ehara i te whenua kē atu i tēnei, engari ko te rangatiratanga o te rangi anake kei reira te okiokinga. Engari e kore e taea e koe te tomo ki roto i tēnei wā; engari kia oti rā anō tō whakawa, kia tutuki hoki. Ko reira ahau ka mea i a koe kia piki ake ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi, koe me ō uri tika; ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe me rātou te okiokinga e tonoa nei e koe i tēnei wā. Ā, ki te mea koe, Homai ki ahau te Wai o te Ora kia inu ahau, kia ora ai ahau. Kāore e taea tēnei rā, engari ko te rā e heke ai ahau ki te reinga, ka wahia e ahau ngā tatau parahi, ka kuru hoki i ngā rangatiratanga rino. Ko reira ahau i roto i te aroha e whakaora ai i tō wairua me ngā wairua o te hunga tika, kia hoatu ai he okiokinga ki a rātou i roto i taku māra. Ā, ko te mutunga o te ao tēnā. 1 Pukapuka a Ātama rāua ko Īwi 42:1-6 I mea anō te Atua ki a Ātama, Tirohia tēnei ahi e tahuna ana e Hātana i tō ana; tirohia tēnei mea whakamiharo e karapoti nei i a koe; kia mōhio koe ka karapotia koe me ō uri, ina whakarongo koe ki tāna whakahau; ka whiua koe e ia ki te ahi; ā, ka heke koe ki te reinga i muri i tō matenga. 1 Pukapuka a Ātama rāua ko Īwi 45:9 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, ki a Arama, E Arama, kotahi te po e wehi ai koe i te wera o te ahi, engari me pehea ra koe e noho ana i te reinga? 1 Pukapuka a Arama raua ko Iwi 49:4

Te Tūturutanga o te Reinga Kaua hoki e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, engari e kore e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ko ta koutou e wehi ai ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena. Matiu 10:28 Mai i taku kai tuatahi i te hua o te rākau, i peia ahau e ia i waho o te māra ki tēnei whenua tauhou, ā, i tangohia mai i ahau tōku āhua kanapa, ā, i kawea mai e ia te mate ki ahau. Ki te mahi ahau i tēnei, ka tapahia e ia tōku ora i te whenua, ā, ka maka ahau e ia ki te reinga, ā, ka whiua ahau ki reira mō te wā roa. 1 Pukapuka a Ātama rāua ko Īwi 71:2 Kātahi ka tukua e Ātama tana manaakitanga ki runga i a Heta, ki runga hoki i āna tamariki, me ngā tamariki katoa a āna tamariki. Kātahi ka tahuri ia ki tana tama, ki a Heta, ki a Īwa, ki tana wahine, ka mea ki a rātou, Tiakina tēnei koura, tēnei whakakakara, me tēnei maira, kua homai nei e te Atua hei tohu ki a tātou; i ngā rā hoki e haere ake nei, ka taupokina te ao katoa e te waipuke. Engari ko te hunga e tomo ki roto i te āka, ka mauria e rātou te koura, te whakakakara, me te maira, me tōku tinana; ā, ka whakatakotoria e rātou te koura, te whakakakara, me te maira, me tōku tinana ki waenganui o te whenua. Kātahi, i muri i te wā roa, ka pahuatia te tāone kei reira te koura, te whakakakara, me te maira me tōku tinana. Engari ina pakaru, ka tiakina te koura, te whakakakara, me te maira me ngā taonga e puritia ana; ā, e kore tetahi o rātou e ngaro, kia tae mai rā anō te Kupu a te Atua, te tangata i hanga; ina tangohia rātou e ngā kīngi, ā, ka whakaherea ki a ia, te koura hei tohu mō tōna Kīngitanga; te whakakakara, hei tohu mō tōna Atua o te rangi me te whenua; me te maira, hei tohu mō tōna mamae. Koura hoki, hei tohu mō tana hinganga i a Hātana, me ō tātou hoariri katoa; te whakakakara hei tohu mō tōna aranga mai i te hunga mate, ka whakanuia ki runga ake i ngā mea o te rangi, me ngā mea o te whenua; me te maira, hei tohu mōna ka inumia e ia te au kawa; ā, ka rongo i ngā mamae o te reinga i a Hātana. Nā, e Heta, e taku tama, kua whakakitea e ahau ki a koe ngā mea ngaro kua whakakitea mai e te Atua ki ahau. Puritia taku ture, māu ake, mā tō iwi hoki. 2 Pukapuka a Ātama rāua ko Īwi 8:16-20 Ā, i whanganga e ahau te whenua katoa, ōna maunga, me ngā pukepuke katoa, ngā mara, ngā rākau, ngā kōhatu, ngā awa, ngā mea katoa i roto i te ao, i tuhia e ahau te teitei mai i te whenua ki te rangi tuawhitu, ki raro ki te reinga raro rawa, me te wāhi whakawa, me te reinga nui rawa, tuwhera, e tangi ana. Ngā Mea Ngaro a Enoka 40:9 I kite ahau i ngā kaipupuri kī me ngā kaitiaki o ngā kūaha o te reinga e tū ana, me te mea he nakahi nunui, ko ō rātou mata me te mea he rama kua tineia, me ō rātou kanohi ahi, ko ō rātou niho koi, ā, i kite ahau i ngā mahi katoa a te Ariki, me pēhea te tika, ko ngā mahi a te tangata he pai ētahi, ko ētahi he kino, ā, i roto i ā rātou mahi e mōhiotia ai te hunga teka kino. Ngā Mea Ngaro a Enoka 42:1 Ko tōna mutunga iho he whakangaromanga, ā, ka riro ia ki te reinga. Ko te tangata hoki e keri ana i te poka mō tōna teina, ka taka ia ki roto; ā, ko te tangata e whakatakoto ana i ngā mahanga, ka mau i roto i aua poka. He Kōrero mō Ahikara 7:58
