Maori - The Third Book of the Shepherd of Hermas, which is called His Similitudes

Ko te Pukapuka Tuatoru a te Hepara o Hermas, e kiia nei ko Ana Kupu Whakatairanga TE WHAKARITE 1 1 Ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau; E mōhio ana koutou, ko koutou ngā pononga a te Ariki, e noho ana i konei me te mea he manene koutou; kei tawhiti rawa hoki tō koutou tāone i tēnei tāone.

2 Nā, ki te mea e mōhio ana koutou ki tō koutou tāone e noho ai koutou, he aha koutou ka hoko whenua ai, ka whakarato ai i a koutou ki ngā mea papai, ki ngā whare rangatira, me ngā whare koretake? Ko te tangata hoki e whakarato ana i ēnei mea māna i roto i tēnei tāone, kāore ia e whakaaro ki te hoki ki tōna ake tāone.

3 E te tangata kuware, e te tangata ruarua, e te tangata pōuri, e kore nei e mārama ko ēnei mea katoa nō ētahi atu tāngata, ā, kei raro i te mana o tētahi atu. E mea ana hoki te Ariki o tēnei pā ki a koe; Whakarongo ki aku ture, haere atu rānei i roto i taku pā.

4 Nā, me aha koe, e te tangata e whai ture ana i roto i tōu ake tāone? E taea rānei e koe te whakakahore i tō ture, mō tōu whenua, mō tētahi o ngā mea kua whakaritea e koe? Ki te whakakahoretia e koe, ā, ka hoki anō koe ki tōu ake tāone i muri mai, e kore koe e manakohia, engari ka peia atu koe i reira.

5 Nō reira, kia tūpato koe, pērā i te tangata i tētahi whenua kē, kāore koe e whiwhi i ngā mea e nui atu ana i te mea e tika ana, e rawaka ana māu? Kia rite hoki koe, ina peia koe e te Atua, e te Ariki rānei o tēnei pā, ka taea e koe te whakahē i tana ture, ka haere ki tōu ake pā; ka taea e koe te noho harikoa i runga i tōu ake ture, me te kore he.

6 Kia tūpato, e te hunga e mahi ana ki te Atua, kia mau hoki ia ki roto i ō koutou ngākau: mahia ngā mahi a te Atua, me te mahara ki āna whakahau me āna kupu whakaari kua whakaaria mai e ia; kia māia hoki koutou ka meinga e ia kia pai ki a koutou, ki te pupuri koutou i āna whakahau.

7 Nā, kaua e hokona ngā taonga e hiahia ana koutou kia hokona, engari me utu te hunga rawakore i ā rātou mea e

matea ana e rātou, kia rite ki te taea e te katoa; whakatikaia ngā pouaru; whakawakia te take a te pani; whakapaua ō koutou taonga me ō koutou rawa ki ēnei mahi.

8 Nā te Atua hoki koutou i whai taonga ai, kia taea ai e koutou te whakatutuki i ēnei mahi. He pai ake te mahi i tēnei i te hoko whenua, i te hoko whare rānei; ka memeha haere hoki aua mea katoa i tēnei wā.

9 Ko tā koutou e mea ai mō te ingoa o Ihowā, ka kitea e koutou i roto i tō koutou tāone, ā, ka whiwhi koutou i te hari, kahore he pouri, kāore he wehi. Nō reira kaua e hiahia ki ngā taonga o ngā tauiwi; he mea whakangaro hoki ēnā mō ngā pononga a te Atua.

10 Engari hokohokohia ō koutou taonga ake, kia tae atu ai koutou ki te hari mutunga kore.

11 Kaua hoki e puremu, kaua hoki e pā ki te wahine a tetahi atu tangata, kaua hoki e hiahia ki a ia; engari me hiahia ki tāu ake mahi, ā, ka ora koe.

TE WHAKARITE 2 1 I ahau e haere ana i te mara, e whakaaroaro ana ki te erū me te waina, e whakaaroaro ana ki ō rāua hua, ka puta mai tētahi anahera ki ahau, ka mea mai ki ahau; He aha tāu e whakaaroaro ana i roto i a koe i te roa o tō whakaaro?

2 Nā ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, e whakaaro ana ahau ki tēnei waina me tēnei erū, he ataahua hoki ō rāua hua. Nā ka mea mai ia ki ahau; Ko ēnei rākau e rua kua whakaritea hei tauira mā ngā pononga a te Atua.

3 Nā ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, e hiahia ana ahau kia mōhio ki te āhua o ēnei rākau e kōrerotia nei e koe.

Whakarongo mai, e mea ana ia; e kite ana koe i tēnei waina me tēnei reme; e te Ariki, e mea ana ahau, e kite ana ahau i a rātou, 4 E mea ana ia, he hua tēnei waina, engari he rākau kore hua te reme. Ahakoa rā, ki te kore tēnei waina e whakatōkia ki tēnei reme, e tautokona hoki e ia, e kore e nui ngā hua e puta; engari ki te takoto noa ki te whenua, he kino noa iho ngā hua e puta, nā te mea kāore i iri ki runga i te reme; engari, i te mea e tautokona ana ki runga i te reme, ka puta he hua mōna ake, mō tēnā hoki.

5 Tirohia rā, kāore te rākau e hua ake i te waina, engari he nui ake ngā hua. E te Ariki, i mea ahau, me pēhea e hua ake ai i te waina? Nā te mea, e ai ki tāna, ko te waina e

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

tautokona ana e te rākau e hua ake ai he hua nui, he hua pai; engari ki te takoto noa ki te whenua, he iti noa iho ngā hua, ā, he tino kino rawa atu.

6 Nō reira, ka whakatakotoria tēnei kupu whakarite ki ngā pononga a te Atua; ā, e tohu ana i te tangata whai rawa me te tangata rawakore. Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, whakakitea mai tēnei ki ahau. Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia; he taonga tō te tangata whai rawa; heoi, he rawakore ia ki te Ariki; nā te mea e aro nui ana ia ki ana taonga, ā, he iti noa iho āna inoi ki te Ariki; ā, he mangere, he kore kaha āna inoi.

7 Nō reira, ina toro atu te tangata whai rawa ki te hunga rawakore i ngā mea e hiahiatia ana e ia, ka inoi te tangata rawakore ki te Ariki mō te hunga whai rawa; ā, ka homai e te Atua ki te tangata whai rawa ngā mea pai katoa, nā te mea he whai rawa te tangata rawakore i te inoi; ā, he mana nui tā te Ariki ki āna tono.

8 Kātahi te tangata whai rawa ka mahi i ngā mea katoa mā te hunga rawakore, nā te mea e mōhio ana ia e rangona ana ia e te Ariki: ā, mā te ngākau nui, me te kore ruarua, ka hoatu e ia ki a ia te mea e hiahiatia ana e ia, ā, ka tupato kei hapa tetahi mea i a ia.

9 Ā, ka whakawhetai te tangata rawakore ki te Ariki mō te tangata whai rawa; nā te Ariki hoki rāua e mahi ai.

10 Nō reira, ki te tangata, kāore te rākau e whakaarohia he hua; ā, kāore rātou e mōhio, kāore hoki e mārama, i te tāpirihia tōna hononga ki te waina, ka hua rua te waina, māna ake, mā te rākau hoki.

11 Waihoki ko te hunga rawakore e inoi ana ki te Ariki mo te hunga whai rawa, ka rangona e ia; ā, ka whakanuia ō rātou taonga, nā te mea e mahi ana rātou ki te hunga rawakore i roto i ō rātou taonga. Nō reira, ka whai wāhi rāua ki ngā mahi pai a tetahi, a tetahi.

12 Nō reira, ko te tangata e mahi ana i ēnei mea, e kore ia e whakarērea e te Ariki, engari ka tuhia ki roto i te pukapuka o te ora.

13 Ka hari te hunga whai rawa, e kite ana kua nui haere ā rātou taonga: ko te tangata hoki e mātau ana ki tēnei, ka taea e ia te mahi ki ētahi atu.

TE WHAKARITE 3 1 I whakakitea mai anō e ia ki ahau he maha ngā rākau kua marere ngā rau, ā, ki ahau nei kua memenge, he rite tonu hoki ō rātou rau katoa. Nā ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E kite ana koe i ēnei rākau? Ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, e kite ana ahau he rite ki ngā rākau maroke.

2 Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki ahau; He rite ēnei rākau ki ngā tāngata e noho nei i tēnei ao. Ka mea atu ahau: E te Ariki, he aha rātou i rite ai ki ngā rākau maroke? Nā te mea, e ai ki tāna, kāore e mōhiotia te hunga tika, te hunga hē rānei tetahi i tetahi; engari he rite katoa rātou i tēnei ao.

3 Ki te hunga tika, he rite te hotoke o tēnei ao ki te hotoke, nā te mea kāore rātou e mōhiotia, engari e noho ana i roto i te hunga hara.

4 Pērā i te hotoke, ka memeha ngā rau o ngā rākau katoa, ka rite ki ngā rākau maroke; e kore hoki e taea te wehewehe ko tēhea te mea maroke, ko tēhea te mea kakariki: waihoki i tēnei ao, e kore e taea te wehewehe i te tangata tika, i te tangata kino rānei; engari he rite tonu rātou katoa.

TE WHAKARITE 4 1 I whakakitea mai anō e ia ētahi atu rākau maha ki ahau, ko ētahi he rau, ko ētahi he maroke, he memenge. Nā ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E kite ana koe i ēnei rākau? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, e kite ana ahau; ko ētahi he maroke, ko ētahi he rau.

2 Ko ēnei rākau, e ai ki tāna, he mea matomato, ko te hunga tika, ka whiwhi ki te ao kei te haere mai. Ko te raumati hoki te ao kei te haere mai ki te hunga tika; ko te hotoke ia ki te hunga hara.

3 Nō reira, ina whiti te aroha o te Ariki, ka whakakitea te hunga e mahi ana ki te Atua, ka mārama hoki ki te katoa.

Pērā i te raumati ka whakakitea, ka whakakitea hoki ngā hua o ia rākau, ka whakakitea anō hoki ngā mahi a te hunga tika, ā, ka whakahokia mai rātou ki taua ao me te harikoa, me te ngākau hari.

4 Ko te momo tangata kē atu, arā, ko te hunga kino, pērā i ngā rākau i kite koe kua maroke, ka kitea pērā anō rātou kua maroke, kāore he hua i taua ao kē; ā, ka tahuna pērā i te rakau maroke; ā, ka whakakitea kua mahi kino rātou i ngā rā katoa o ō rātou oranga; 5 Ā, ka tahuna rātou, nā te mea kua hara rātou, ā, kāore anō kia ripeneta ki ō rātou hara. Ka tahuna anō hoki ngā iwi katoa, nā te mea kāore rātou i whakaae ki te Atua, ki tō rātou Kaihanga.

6 Nā reira, whakaputaina he hua pai, kia kitea ai ō hua i te raumati; ā, kia tupato kei nui ō mahi, kei hē koe. Ko te hunga hoki e nui ana ō mahi, he nui ō rātou hara; nā te mea e warea ana rātou ki ā rātou mahi, ā, kāore e mahi ki te Atua.

7 Ā, me pēhea rā te tangata kāore e mahi ki te Atua e tono ai i tetahi mea i te Atua, ā, ka whiwhi i taua mea? Ko te hunga ia e mahi ana ki a ia, e tono ana, ā, ka whiwhi i tā rātou e hiahia ai.

8 Engari, ki te mea kotahi anake te mea hei whai mā te tangata, ka taea e ia te mahi Te Atua, nā te mea kāore tōna hinengaro i tangohia atu i te Atua engari e mahi ana ia ki a ia me te hinengaro parakore.

9 Nō reira, ki te mea koe i tēnei, ka whai hua koe i te ao kei te haere mai; ā, ko te hunga katoa e mahi pērā ana, ka hua mai he hua.

TE WHAKARITE 5 1 I ahau e nohopuku ana, e noho ana i runga i tētahi maunga, e whakawhetai ana ki te Atua mō ngā mea katoa i mea ai ia ki ahau; na, ka kite ahau i te hepara, e kōrero ana ki ahau, e noho ana i tōku taha, e mea ana ki ahau: He aha koe i kawe mai ai ki konei i te atatu nei? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, kei te tū ahau i tēnei rā.

2 Ka whakahoki ia, He aha te tūnga? Ka whakahoki ahau, he nohopuku. Ka mea ia, He aha te nohopuku? Ka whakahoki ahau, Ka nohopuku ahau, ko taku tikanga tēnei.

Kāore koutou e mōhio, e ai ki tāna, he aha te nohopuku ki te Atua; ehara hoki tēnei i te nohopuku e nohopuku ana koutou, kāore he hua o te Atua.

3 E te Ariki, ka mea atu ahau, he aha koe i kōrero pēnei ai?

Ka whakahoki ia, Ko tāku e kōrero nei, nā te mea ehara tēnei i te nohopuku pono e whakaaro nei koe e nohopuku ana koe; engari māku e whakaatu ki a koe te nohopuku tino tika, e manakohia ana e te Atua.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

4 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia, Kāore te Ariki e hiahia ki tētahi nohopuku koretake pēnei: mā te nohopuku pēnei hoki, kāore koe e ahu whakamua i roto i te tika.

5 Ko te nohopuku pono ia ko tēnei: Kaua e mahi i tetahi mea kino i roto i tōu ao, engari me mahi ki te Atua me te hinengaro ma; me pupuri hoki i ana ture, me haere i runga i ana akoranga, kaua hoki e tukua tetahi hiahia kino kia tomo ki roto i te hinengaro.

6 Engari kia whakawhirinaki koe ki te Ariki, ki te mea ka mahi koe i ēnei mea, ka wehi i a ia, ka mawehe i ngā mahi kino katoa, ka ora koe ki te Atua.

7 Ki te mea koe i tēnei, ka oti i a koe tētahi nohopuku nui, ā, ka manakohia e te Ariki.

8 Whakarongo mai ki te kupu whakarite ka whakatakotoria e ahau ki a koe mo tenei mea.

9 Tētahi tangata he pāmu tāna, he tokomaha āna pononga, ā, i whakatō ia i tētahi māra waina ki tētahi wāhi o tōna whenua mō ōna uri: 10 Ā, i tana haerenga ki tētahi whenua tawhiti, ka whiriwhiria e ia tētahi o āna pononga, ko tāna i whakaaro ai he tino pono, he tino pai, ka tukua te māra waina ki a ia, ka whakahaua ia kia tangohia e ia ngā māra waina. Mēnā ka mahia e ia, ā, ka tutuki i a ia tāna whakahau, ka oati ia ka tukua tōna herekoretanga ki a ia. Kāore hoki ia i whakahau i a ia kia mahi i tētahi atu mea; ā, haere ana ia ki tētahi whenua tawhiti.

11 Ā, i muri i te tangohanga o taua pononga i taua mahi ki a ia, ka meatia e ia ngā mea katoa i whakahaua e tōna ariki ki a ia. Ā, i tōna whakatōnga i te māra waina, ā, i tōna kitenga kua kapi i te taru, ka tīmata ia te whakaaroaro i roto i a ia anō, ka mea; 12 Kua oti i ahau te mea i whakahaua mai e tōku ariki, ka keria e ahau tēnei māra waina, ā, ina keria, ka nui ake tōna ataahua; ā, ki te unuhia ngā taru, ka nui ake ōna hua, e kore hoki e kowaowaotia e ngā taru.

13 Nā, i tana tīmatanga i tēnei mahi, ka keria e ia, ka hutia ake ngā taru katoa i roto; ā, ka tino ataahua, ka tino whai rawa te māra waina, kāore hoki i kapi i ngā taru.

14 I muri i ētahi wā, ka haere mai te rangatira o te māra waina, ka tomo ki te māra waina, ā, i tōna kitenga kua oti te whakatō me te keri pai, kua hutia ake hoki ngā taru i roto, me ngā waina e tupu ana, ka nui tōna hari i te manaaki a tana pononga.

15 Ā, ka karangatia e ia tana tama i arohaina e ia, ko ia hoki hei uri mōna, me ōna hoa i kōrero tahi ai ia; ka korerotia e ia ki a rātou ngā mea i whakahaua e ia ki tana pononga kia mahia, me ngā mea anō i mahia e tana pononga; ā, ka mihi tonu rātou ki taua pononga, mō te whiwhinga i tētahi whakaaturanga nui mai i tōna ariki.

16 Kātahi ia ka mea ki a rātou, He pono i oati ahau ki tēnei pononga kia tukua tōna herekoretanga, ki te puritia e ia te whakahau i hoatu e ahau ki a ia; ā, i puritia e ia, ā, i mahia e ia he mahi pai ki taku māra waina, ā, he mea tino pai ki ahau.

17 Nō reira, mō tēnei mahi āna, ka meinga ia e ahau hei uri mōku, me taku tama hoki, nā te mea i tōna kitenga i te mea pai, kāore ia i whakarērea, engari i mahia e ia.

18 I whakaae te ariki ki tēnei whakaaro, ki tāna tama, me ōna hoa hoki, kia riro tahi tāna pononga me tāna tama hei taonga mōna.

19 Kāore i roa i muri iho, ka karangatia e te rangatira o te whare āna hoa, ā, ka tukuna atu e ia he momo kai maha ki taua pononga.

20 Ā, nō te whiwhinga o taua mea, ka tangohia e ia te nui o ēnā mea, ā, ka tuwhaina e ia te toenga ki ōna hoa pononga.

21 Nō te whiwhinga i taua mea, ka hari rātou, ā ka inoi kia nui atu tōna manakohia e tōna ariki mō tāna i mea ai ki a rātou.

22 Ā, i te rongonga o tōna ariki i ēnei mea katoa, ka nui tōna hari; ā, ka karangatia e ia ōna hoa me tana tama, ka kōrerotia ki a rātou te mea i mahia e tana pononga ki ngā kai i tukuna atu e ia ki a rātou.

23 Nō reira, nui atu tō rātou whakaae ki te rangatira o te whare; ā, me meinga e ia taua pononga hei uri mōna me tana tama.

24 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, kāore ahau e mōhio ki ēnei kupu whakarite, kāore hoki e taea e au te mārama ki a rātou, ki te kore koe e whakamārama mai ki ahau. Ka whakamārama atu ahau ki a koe i ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e ahau ki a koe, i whakakitea atu rānei e ahau ki a koe.

25 Puritia ngā ture a te Ariki, ā, ka manakohia koe, ka tuhituhia hoki koe ki roto ki te hunga e pupuri ana i āna ture. Engari ki te tāpirihia e koe tētahi mea pai ki tua atu i ngā mea kua whakahaua e te Ariki, ka nui ake tō honore i a koe, ā, ka nui atu tō manakohia e te Ariki i tōu tika.

26 Nō reira, ki te pupuri koe i ngā ture a te Ariki, ā, ka tāpirihia atu ēnei ki ēnei, ka hari koe; engari, ki te pupuri koe i aua ture kia rite ki aku ture.

27 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko tāu e whakahau mai ai ki ahau ka mahia e ahau; e mōhio ana hoki ahau kei ahau koe. Ka noho ahau, e ai ki tāna, hei hoa mōu, mōu, te tangata nāna i whakatau tēnei; ā, ka noho ahau hei hoa mō te hunga katoa e whakaaro ana ki taua whakaaro.

28 E mea ana ia, He tino pai rawa tēnei nohopuku, i a koe e pupuri ana i ngā ture a te Ariki. Pērā tonu koe i reira. Nā reira kia mau ai koe.

29 Tuatahi, kia tupato ki a koe anō, kia matara atu i ngā mahi kino katoa, i ngā kupu poke katoa, i ngā hiahia kino katoa; kia purea hoki tō hinengaro i ngā mea horihori katoa o tēnei ao. Ki te puritia e koe ēnei mea, ka tika tēnei nohopuku.

30 Nā, me mahi e koe. Kia oti te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, i taua rā e nohopuku ai koe, kaua rawa koe e kai i tetahi mea, engari he taro, he wai anake; ā, ki te tatau koe i te nui o te kai e kainga ana e koe i ētahi atu rā, me waiho te moni i tika kia pau i taua rā, ka hoatu ki te pouaru, ki te pani, ki te rawakore.

31 Ā, kia pēnei tāu e whakaoti ai i te whakaiti o tōu wairua; kia makona ai tōna wairua i te tangata e whiwhi ana i tētahi o aua mea, kia tae atu ai tana inoi ki te Ariki, ki te Atua, mōu.

32 Nō reira, ki te whakatutuki koe i tāu nohopuku pēnei, e ai ki taku i whakahau ai ki a koe, ka manakohia tāu patunga tapu e te Ariki, ā, ka tuhia tāu nohopuku ki roto i tana pukapuka.

33 He mea pai tēnei tūranga, ā, he mea e manakohia ana e te Ariki. Ki te puritia ēnei mea e koe me āu tamariki, me tō whare katoa hoki, ka hari koe.

34 E te hunga katoa e rongo ana ki ēnei mea, ā, e mahi ana i aua mea, ka hari rātou; ā, ko tā rātou e inoi ai ki te Ariki, ka riro i a rātou.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

35 Ā, i inoi ahau ki a ia kia whakamārama mai ia ki ahau i te kupu whakarite o te pāmu, me te Ariki, me te māra waina, me te pononga nāna i whakatū te māra waina; me ngā taru i hutia ake i te māra waina; me tana tama me ōna hoa i huihuia e ia ki te runanga. E mārama ana hoki ahau he kupu whakarite tēnā.

36 Ka mea ia ki ahau, He maia rawa tāu ki te pātai: kāore hoki e tika kia pātai koe i tetahi mea; ki te mea hoki e tika ana kia whakaaturia ki a koe, ka whakakitea ki a koe.

37 Ka whakahoki ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko te mea e whakakitea mai e koe ki ahau, ki te kore ahau e whakamārama mai, ka kite noa ahau, ki te kore ahau e mārama ki te tikanga. Ā, ki te mea ka whakatakotoria e koe ētahi kupu whakarite, a ki te kore e whakamāramatia e koe, ka rongo noa ahau.

38. I whakahoki mai anō ia ki ahau, i mea: Ko te tangata he pononga nā te Atua, ā, kei roto i tōna ngākau te Ariki, e hiahia ana ia kia mārama ki a ia, ā, ka whiwhi ia i taua māramatanga; ā, ka whakamārama ia i ngā kupu whakarite katoa, ka mārama hoki ki ngā kupu a te Ariki e tika ana kia uiuia.

39 Ko te hunga mangere ia, puhoi hoki ki te inoi, e ruarua ana ki te rapu i te Ariki; ahakoa he nui rawa te atawhai o te Ariki, e kore e mutu tana homai i nga mea katoa ki te hunga e inoi ana ki a ia.

40 Nō reira, ko koe kua whakakahangia e taua anahera honore, ā, kua whiwhi koe i tētahi taonga mana nui o te inoi; i te mea kāore koe e mangere, he aha koe te tono ai i te māramatanga i te Ariki, kia whiwhi ai?

41 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; i te mea kei konei koe i ahau, he mea tika kia rapu atu ahau i a koe, kia pātai atu ki a koe; nāu hoki e whakakite mai ngā mea katoa ki ahau, ā, e kōrero mai ana koe ki ahau ina tae mai koe.

42 Engari ki te mea ka kite ahau, ka rongo rānei i ēnei mea i a koe e kore ana i reira, ka inoi ahau ki te Ariki kia whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau.

43 Ā, ka whakahoki ia, I kōrero ahau i mua ake nei he māia, he kuware koe, i a koe e pātai ana ki te tikanga o ēnei kupu whakarite.

44 Nā te mea kei te tohe tonu koe, ka whakakitea atu e ahau ki a koe tēnei kupu whakarite e hiahia ana koe, kia whakakitea atu ai e koe ki ngā tāngata katoa.

45 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia, kia mārama. Ko te pāmu kua whakahuatia ake nei ko te ao katoa. Ko te Ariki o te pāmu, ko ia te kaihanga, te kaiwhakaoti i ngā mea katoa, ā, nāna i homai te mana ki a rātou.

46 Ko tana tama ko te Wairua Tapu: ko te pononga ko te Tama a te Atua: ko te māra waina ko te iwi e whakaorangia ana e ia. Ko ngā titi ko ngā karere kua whakaritea e te Ariki ki runga i a rātou, hei tautoko i tana iwi. Ko ngā taru e hutia ake ana i te māra waina, ko ngā hara i mahia e ngā pononga a te Atua.

47 Ko te kai i tukua mai e ia i tana hapa, ko ngā whakahau i hoatu e ia ki tana iwi mā roto i tana Tama. Ko ngā hoa i karangatia e ia ki te kōrero ki a ia, ko ngā anahera tapu i hanga tuatahitia e ia. Ko te ngaro o te rangatira o te whare, koia te wā e toe ana ki tōna taenga mai.

48 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, he tino pai, he mea whakamiharo, he mea pai ēnei mea katoa. Engari, i mea atu ahau, i taea e au, e tētahi atu tangata rānei, ahakoa kāore i rite te whakaaro nui, te mārama ki ēnei mea?

49 Nā, e te Ariki, korerotia mai ki ahau taku e ui atu nei.

Ka mea ia, "Ui mai ki ahau tāu e pai ai." He aha, ka mea ahau, i whakanohoia ai te Tama a te Atua i roto i tēnei kupu whakarite hei pononga?"

50 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia; kāore te Tama a te Atua i whakanohoia ki te āhua o te pononga, engari ki te mana nui me te mana. Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, 'Me pēhea, e te rangatira? Kāore au i te mārama.'

51 Nā te mea, e ai ki tāna, i whakatūria e te Tama āna karere ki runga i te hunga i tukua e te Matua ki a ia, kia tiakina rātou katoa; heoi i mahi nui ia, i mamae nui, kia murua ai ō rātou hara.

52 E kore hoki e taea te keri i tētahi māra waina me te kore he nui o te mahi me te mamae. Nō reira, i te murunga atu i ngā hara o tana iwi, i whakakitea e ia ki a rātou ngā ara o te ora, i hoatu ai ki a rātou te ture i riro mai i a ia i te Matua.

53 E kite ana koutou, e ai ki tāna, ko ia te Ariki o tana iwi, kua riro mai i a ia te mana katoa i tōna Matua. Engari he aha i whai whakaaro ai te Ariki ki tāna Tama, mō te wehewehe i te taonga tuku iho, me ngā anahera pai, whakarongo mai inaianei.

54 Ko taua Wairua Tapu, i hangaia i te tuatahi, i whakanohoia e ia ki roto i te tinana e noho ai te Atua; arā, ki roto i te tinana whiriwhiri, i rite ki tana i pai ai. Nō reira, ko tēnei tinana i kawea mai ai te Wairua Tapu, i mahi ki taua Wairua, i haere tika, i te parakore i roto i te ngākau māhaki; kāore rawa i whakapoke i taua Wairua.

55 Nō reira, i te mea i ngohengohe tonu te tinana ki te Wairua Tapu, i mahi tika, i mahi tapu ki a ia, kāore i ngoikore i tetahi wā; i te mea kua ngenge te tinana, he pononga tonu tana mahi, engari i tino whakaaetia e te Atua me te Wairua Tapu, i manakohia e ia.

56 Nā te mea i pai te Atua ki tēnei ara pakari, nā te mea kāore ia i poke i te whenua, i te pupuri i te Wairua Tapu.

Nō reira i karanga ai ia ki tana Tama, me ngā anahera pai, kia tohutohu i a rātou, kia hoatu he tūranga ki tēnei tinana i mahi ki te Wairua Tapu me te kore he; kei puta he whakaaro kua ngaro te utu o tana mahi.

57 Ka whiwhi hoki te tinana ma ki tana utu; ko te mea e kitea ana he kohakore, kua whakaritea te Wairua Tapu hei nohoanga mōna. Nā, kua tae mai te whakamārama o tēnei kupu whakarite ki a koutou.

58 E te Ariki, ka mea atu ahau, kua mārama ahau ki tāu tikanga, nō te mea kua rongo ahau i tēnei whakamārama.

Whakarongo mai anō, ka mea ia: kia ma, kia parakore tō tinana, kia whakaatu ai te Wairua e noho ana i roto i a ia, kia whakawakia ai ia kua noho tahi me koe.

59 Kia tūpato hoki kei whakatōkia ki roto i tō hinengaro ka ngaro tēnei tinana, ā, ka whakamahia e koe ki te hiahia katoa. Ki te whakapokea hoki e koe tō tinana, ka whakapokea anō hoki e koe te Wairua Tapu; ā, ki te whakapokea e koe te Wairua Tapu, e kore koe e ora.

60 Ā, ka mea ahau, Me i meatia kētia tēnei mea nā te kuware, i mua i te rongonga o tētahi i ēnei kupu; Me pēhea rā e tae ai ia ki te whakaoranga, nāna nei i whakapoke tōna tinana?

61 Ka whakahoki ia, Mō ngā mahi o mua a te tangata i mahia e rātou nā te kuware, ko te Atua anake te mea ka taea te whakaora i a rātou; nā te mea nōna te mana katoa.

62 Nā, kia tūpato koe i a koe anō; ā, i te mea he Atua Kaha Rawa, he Atua atawhai, ka homai e ia he rongoā mō āu

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

mahi hē o mua, ki te kore koe e whakapoke i tō tinana me tō wairua mō tētahi wā kei te heke mai; 63 He hoa rangatira hoki rāua, ā, e kore tetahi e taea te whakapoke, engari ka pera anō tetahi. Nō reira, kia ma rāua tokorua, ā, ka ora koe ki te Atua.

TE WHAKARITE 6 1 I ahau e noho ana i te kāinga, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua mō ngā mea katoa i kite ahau; me te whakaaro ki ngā ture, he tino pai, he nui, he pono, he ahuareka; ā, he mea e taea ai te whakaora i te tangata; ka mea ahau i roto i ahau; Ka hari ahau ki te haere ahau i runga i ēnei ture, ā, ko te tangata e haere ana i roto i aua ture ka ora ia ki te Atua.

2 I a au e kōrero ana i roto i ahau, ka kite ahau i a ia, i kite ahau i mua, e noho ana i toku taha; a ka mea mai ia ki ahau, 3 He aha tāu e ruarua ai mō aku whakahau kua tukua atu nei e ahau ki a koe? He pai aua mea, kaua e ruarua, engari whakawhirinaki ki te Ariki, ā, ka haere koe i roto i aua mea.

Māku hoki koe e hoatu he kaha ki te whakatutuki i aua mea.

4 He pai ēnei ture mō te hunga e ripeneta ana i ngā hara i mahia e rātou i mua; ki te kore rātou e mau tonu ki aua hara mō ngā rā kei te heke mai.

5 Nō reira, e te tangata e ripeneta ana, whakarerea atu i a koutou te kino o tēnei ao; kakahuria iho hoki te pai me te tika, kia mau ai i a koutou ēnei ture; ā, e kore ai koutou e hara i muri iho.

6 Ki te mea hoki ka tiaki koutou i a koutou anō i te hara i te wā e haere ake nei, ka hatepea atu e koutou te nui o ā koutou hara o mua. Haere i runga i aku ture, ā, ka ora koutou ki te Atua: kua kōrerotia atu ēnei mea e ahau ki a koutou.

7 Ā, nō tana kōrerotanga i tēnei, ka mea ia, Me haere tāua ki te parae, ā, māku e whakakite ki a koe ngā hepara hipi.

Ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, me haere tāua.

8 Ā, ka tae māua ki tētahi mara, ā, i reira ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau tētahi hepara taitamariki, he ātaahua te kākahu, he papura ōna kākahu. Ā, he nui ngā kahui hipi i whāngai ia; ā, kī tonu ana hipi i te harikoa, i te harikoa, i te ngākau koa; ā, i pekepeke rātou, i oma haere i konei, i reira.

9 Ā, nui atu te harikoa o te hepara ki tana kahui; ā, he harikoa te mata o taua hepara, e oma haere ana i roto i tana kahui.

10 Kātahi te anahera ka mea mai ki ahau, E kite ana koe i tēnei hepara? Ka whakahoki ahau, e te ariki, e kite ana ahau i a ia. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te karere tēnei o te hari me te ngākau koa. Nō reira, ka whakapokea e ia ngā hinengaro o ngā pononga a te Atua, ka tahuri ke i a rātou i te pono, ka whakahari i a rātou ki ngā mea ahuareka maha, ā, ka ngaro rātou.

11 Kua wareware hoki rātou ki ngā ture a te Atua ora, ā, e noho ana i roto i te oranga ngākau, i ngā mea whakaharikoa koretake, ā, kua pirau i te anahera kino, ko ētahi o rātou ki te mate; ko ētahi ki te taka.

12 Ka whakahoki atu ahau; Kāore au i te mārama ki tāu e kī nei, ki te mate, ki te tahuritanga ke. Whakarongo mai, e mea ana ia; ko ēnei hipi katoa i kite koe i te harikoa nui, ko rātou kua whakarērea te Atua, ā, kua tukua rātou ki ngā hiahia o tēnei wā.

13 Nō reira, kāore he hokinga mai o te ripeneta ki te ora ki ēnei; nā te mea kua tāpirihia e rātou tēnei ki ā rātou hara kē,

arā, kua kohukohu rātou i te ingoa o te Ariki. Ko ēnei momo tāngata kua whakaritea mō te mate.

14 Ko aua hipi ia i kite koe kāore e pekepeke ana, engari e kai ana i te wāhi kotahi, ko rātou te hunga kua tuku i a rātou anō ki ngā mea ahuareka, ki ngā mea whakaharikoa; engari kāore i kōrero kino ki a Ihowā.

15 Nō reira, kua taka kē atu ēnei i te pono, ā, kei te takoto tonu he tumanako mā rātou i runga i te ripeneta. Nā te takanga pērā, kei te toe tonu he tumanako mō te whakahoutanga; ko te hunga ia kua mate, kua ngaro rawa atu rātou ake ake.

16 I haere anō mātou i mua paku atu; ā, ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau tētahi hepara nui, he āhua tawhito tōna, he kiri koati mā tōna kākahu, he putea kei tōna pakihiwi, he rākau kei tōna ringa kī tonu i ngā pona, he tino mārō, me te whiu i tōna ringa kē; ā, he pakari, he kawa tōna mata; he nui hei whakamataku i te tangata; koia tōna āhua.

17 I tangohia e ia i taua hepara taitamariki ētahi hipi i noho i roto i ngā ahuareka, engari kāore i pekepeke; ā, ka peia rātou e ia ki tētahi wāhi paripari kī tonu i ngā tataramoa me ngā tumatakuru, ā, kāore i taea e rātou te mawhiti i aua hipi.

18 Engari i te mea he mea mau ki roto i a rātou, he mea kai i ngā tataramoa me ngā tumatakuru, ā, i tino whakamamaetia rātou e ia. Nā te mea i akiaki tonu ia i a rātou, kāore hoki i hoatu he wāhi, he wā rānei ki a rātou kia tū.

19 Nō reira, i tōku kitenga i a rātou e whiua kinotia ana, e tukinotia ana, ka pouri ahau mō rātou; nā te mea i tino whakamamaetia rātou, ā, kāore he okiokinga mō rātou.

20. Na ka mea ahau ki te hepara i ahau, E te Ariki, ko wai tenei hepara nanakia, pukuriri, e kore nei e aroha ki enei hipi? Ka whakahoki ia, Ko tenei hepara tetahi o nga anahera tapu, engari kua whakaritea hei whiu i te hunga hara.

21 Nō reira, kua tukua ki a ia te hunga kua he i te Atua, kua mahi ki ngā hiahia me ngā ahuareka o tēnei ao. Nā reira hoki ia e whiu ai i ia tangata, i ia tangata, kia rite ki tā rātou i mea ai, ki ngā mamae kino, ki ngā mamae maha.

22 E te Ariki, ka mea atu ahau, e hiahia ana ahau kia mōhio, he aha ngā momo mamae e pā ana ki te tangata katoa?

Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia; Ko ngā mamae me ngā whakamamaetanga maha koia ēnei e pā ana ki te tangata i ia rā, i ia rā i roto i ō rātou oranga o nāianei. Ko ētahi e pāngia ana e ngā mate; ko ētahi e te rawakore; ko ētahi e ngā mate rerekē. Ko ētahi e kore e tau te noho; ko ētahi e pāngia ana e ngā whara i te hunga kāore e tika ana; ko ētahi e taka ana ki raro i ngā whakamātautau me ngā raruraru maha.

23 He tokomaha hoki, he whakaaro pōhēhē, e whai ana i ngā mea maha, ā, kāore he painga mō rātou; ā, e mea ana rātou kāore i angitu ā rātou mahi.

24 Kāore rātou e mahara ki tā rātou mahi he, engari e amuamu ana ki te Ariki. Nō reira, ina pāngia rātou e ngā momo raruraru me ngā raruraru katoa, ka tukua mai rātou ki ahau hei ako pai, ā, ka whakauhia ki te whakapono ki te Ariki, ā, ka mahi ki te Ariki i ngā rā katoa e toe ana me te hinengaro ma.

25 Ā, ina tīmata rātou ki te ripeneta i ā rātou hara, ka mahara rātou ki ā rātou mahi i he ai rātou, ka whakahonore i te Atua, me te mea, He Kaiwhakawā tika ia, ā, kua tika tā rātou mamae i ngā mea katoa e ai ki ā rātou mahi.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

26 Ā, mō ngā mea e toe ana o ō rātou oranga, ka mahi rātou ki te Atua me te ngākau mā; ā, ka angitu ā rātou mahi katoa, ā, ka riro mai i te Ariki ngā mea katoa e hiahiatia ana e rātou.

27 Kātahi rātou ka whakawhetai ki te Ariki mō te tukunga mai i a rātou ki ahau; ā, kāore rātou e mamae anō i te tukino.

28 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; E te Ariki, me inoi atu anō ahau kia whakakitea mai e koe tētahi mea ki ahau. He aha, e mea ana ia, e pātai ana koe? Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; Ko te hunga e whakarērea ana te wehi ki te Atua, e whakamamaetia ana rānei mō te wā kotahi i pārekareka ai rātou ki ō rātou ahuareka teka me ō rātou ngākau hari? Ka whakahoki mai ia ki ahau: E whakamamaetia ana rātou mō te wā kotahi.

29 Ā, ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; He iti noa iho te mamae o rātou i reira; ko te hunga ia e pai ana ki ā rātou mahi whakangahau, ā, e wareware ana ki te Atua, me whitu ngā wā e whiua ai rātou.

30 Ka whakahoki ia ki ahau, He kuware koe, kāore hoki koe e mārama ki te hua o tēnei whiu. Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, me i mārama ahau, kāore ahau e hiahia kia kōrerotia mai e koe ki ahau.

31 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia, kia mōhio ai koe ki te kaha o ngā mea e rua, o te ahuareka me te whiu. Ka mutu te haora o te ahuareka i roto i tōna ake wāhi; engari ko te haora whiu kotahi he toru tekau ngā rā e whai hua ana. Nō reira, ko te tangata e pai ana ki tana ahuareka teka mō te rā kotahi, ā, e whakamamaetia ana mō te rā kotahi; ko taua rā whiu kotahi he rite ki te tau katoa.

32. Tirohia te maha o ngā rā e whaia ana e te tangata āna mea ahuareka, te maha hoki o ngā tau e whiua ai ia mōna.

Nō reira, ka kite koutou he poto noa te wā o ngā mea ahuareka o te ao; engari he nui rawa atu te wā o te mamae me te whakamamae.

33 Ka whakahoki ahau; E te Ariki, i te mea kāore au i te mārama ki ēnei wā o te ahuareka me te mamae; "Kei te inoi atu ahau kia mārama ake tāu whakamārama i a koe mō rātou." Ka whakahoki mai ia ki ahau, ka mea mai, "Kei te mau tonu tō wairangi i roto i a koe."

34 Kaua ianei koe e whakapai i tō hinengaro, e mahi ki te Atua? Kia tupato, kei kitea koe e kuware ana i te mutunga o tō wā. Whakarongo mai, kia rite ki tāu e hiahia ai, kia māmā ake ai tō mārama.

35 Ko te tangata e tuku ana i a ia anō ki ana ake ahuareka, ki ana ake mea whakaharikoa, ā, e mahi ana i ngā mea katoa e hiahia ai tōna wairua, kua ki tonu ia i te wairangi nui, kāore hoki e mārama ki tāna e mahi ana, engari ka wareware te aonga ake ki tāna i mahi ai i te aonga ake.

36 Kāore hoki e maharatia te hari me te ngākau harikoa o te ao, nā te wairangi i ahu mai i roto i aua mea. Engari ina pā te mamae me te mamae ki te tangata i ia rā, ka tino raruraru ia i te tau katoa i muri mai; nā te mea kei te mau tonu tōna whiu i roto i tōna mahara.

37 Nā reira ka maumahara ia ki tēnei mea me te pouri i te tau katoa; kātahi ka mahara ki tana ngahau me tana harikoa horihori, ā, ka kite ia nā te mea tēnā i whiua ai ia.

38 Nō reira, ko te hunga kua tukua e rātou ki aua mea ahuareka, ka whiua pērātia rātou; nā te mea i te wā i ora ai rātou, i tukua e rātou rātou ki te mate.

39 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, he aha ngā mea ahuareka e kino ai? Ka whakahoki ia, He mea ahuareka tēnā ki te tangata e mea ai ia i tōna ngākau hihiko.

40 Ko te tangata riri hoki, i te mea e whakamana ana i tōna hiahia, ka kite ia i te ahuareka o roto; pērā anō te tangata puremu me te tangata haurangi; te tangata kōrero kino me te tangata teka; te tangata apo me te tangata tinihanga; ā, ko te tangata e mahi ana i tētahi mea pēnei, nā te mea e whai ana ia i tōna wairua kino, ka whiwhi ia i te whakamarie i roto i tana mahi.

41 He mea kino ēnei mea ahuareka katoa ki ngā pononga a te Atua. Nā reira rātou i whakamamaetia ai, i whiua ai.

42 Tērā anō hoki ngā mea ahuareka e whakaora ai te tangata. He tokomaha hoki, ina mahi i te pai, ka kitea te harikoa i roto i taua mea, ā, ka kukumea e ngā mea ahuareka o taua mea.

43 Nā, he mea whai hua tēnei ahuareka ki ngā pononga a te Atua, ā, he mea whakaora i aua tāngata; engari ko aua ahuareka whara, kua whakahuatia i mua, ka puta mai he whakamamae me he whiu.

44 Ā, ko te tangata e mau tonu ana ki roto i aua mea, ā, e kore e ripeneta ki tā rātou i mahi ai, ka kawea mai e ia te mate ki a ia anō.

TE WHAKARITE 7 1 I muri i ētahi rā, ka kite ahau i taua tangata anō i kōrero mai ki ahau i mua, i te mara anō i kite ai ahau i aua hepara. Ā, ka mea ia ki ahau, He aha tāu e rapu nei?

2 E te Ariki, ka mea atu ahau, i haere mai ahau ki te inoi ki a koe kia whakahaua e koe te hepara, te minita whiu, kia haere atu i tōku whare, nā te mea he nui tana whakararuraru i ahau.

3 Ā, ka whakahoki ia, Me whakamanawanui koe ki ngā raruraru me ngā pōuri; nā te mea kua whakahaua koe e te anahera pai, kia whakamatautauria ai koe.

4 E te Ariki, ka mea ahau; He aha te hara nui i mahia e ahau, i tukua ai ahau ki tēnei karere? Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia: He nui ō hara, engari kāore i te maha rawa e tukua ai koe ki tēnei karere.

5 Engari kua maha ngā hara me ngā hara o tō whare, nō reira, i te pouri o te karere pai mō ā rātou mahi, ka whakahau ia kia whakamamaetia koe mō tētahi wā; kia ripeneta ai rāua i ā rāua mahi, kia horoia ai hoki i a rāua ngā hiahia katoa o tēnei ao.

6 Nō reira, ina ripeneta rātou, ā, kia purea, ka mawehe atu i a koe te karere i whakaritea hei whiu i a koe.

7 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; E te Ariki, mehemea i riri taua anahera pai i a rātou, he aha rā taku i mea ai? Ka whakahoki ia: E kore rātou e pāngia e te mamae, ki te kore koe, te upoko o te whānau, e mamae.

8 Ahakoa he aha te mamae e pā ki a koe, me rongo rātou i taua mamae; engari i a koe e tū pakari ana, e kore rātou e pāngia e te mamae.

9 Ka whakahoki ahau; Engari, e te rangatira, nana, kua ripeneta hoki rātou ināianei me ō rātou ngākau katoa. E mōhio ana ahau, e mea ana ia, kua ripeneta rātou me ō rātou ngākau katoa; engari e whakaaro ana koe ka murua tonutia ā rātou hara e ripeneta ana?

10 Kāo, kāore i te wā tonu; engari ko te tangata e ripeneta ana me whakapouri i tōna wairua, me whakaatu hoki i tōna

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

whakaiti i roto i ana mahi katoa, ā, me pāngia e ia ngā tini raruraru.

11 Ā, ina oti i a ia te mamae i ngā mea katoa i whakaritea mōna; ko reira pea ka aroha te Kaihanga i a ia, te Kaihanga i ngā mea katoa, ki a ia, ā, ka homai he rongoā ki a ia; inā koa mēnā ka kite ia i tōna ngākau e ripeneta ana, kua ma i ngā mahi kino katoa.

12 I tēnei wā, he mea tika kia pouri koe, me tō whare hoki; ā, me manawanui koe ki te mamae nui, pērā i te whakahau a te anahera a te Ariki, nāna nei koe i tuku ki ahau.

13 Engari, me whakawhetai ki te Ariki, nāna hoki i mōhio ki ngā mea e haere mai ana, ā, i whakaaro ia he tika koe kia whakapuakina e ia te mea e pā mai ana te raruraru ki a koe, e kaha nei koe ki te whakamanawanui.

14 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, me noho mai koe ki ahau, ā, ka ngāwari taku noho ki te raruraru. Ka noho ahau ki a koe, e ai ki tāna, ā, ka inoi atu ahau ki te anahera i whakaritea mōu kia whiua, kia whakamarietia e ia ōna mamae ki a koe.

15 Ā, ka pāngia koe e te mamae mō te wā poto noa iho; kātahi ka whakahokia koe ki tō āhua o mua; me haere tonu koe i runga i te ngākau mahaki o tōu hinengaro.

16 Whakarongo ki te Ariki me te ngākau parakore; koe, me tō whare, me āu tamariki; haere hoki i runga i ngā whakahau kua tukua atu nei e ahau ki a koe; ko reira ka pumau, ka parakore hoki tō ripeneta.

17 Ā, ki te puritia ēnei mea e koe i roto i tō whare, ka ngaro atu ō raruraru.

18 Ā, ka memeha atu ngā āwangawanga katoa i te hunga katoa e haere ana i runga i ēnei ture.

TE WHAKARITE 8 1 I whakakitea mai anō e ia ki ahau he pukepuke e taupokina ana ngā mara me ngā maunga, i raro i tōna atarangi e haere mai ana te hunga katoa e karangatia ana ko te ingoa o Ihowā.

2 Ā, i te taha o taua wirou i tū ai tētahi anahera a Ihowā, he tino rangatira, he teitei; ā, tapahia ana e ia ngā manga o taua wirou ki tētahi matau nui; ā, totoro atu ana tōna ringa ki te hunga i raro i te marumaru o taua wirou, he iti nei te roa, tata ki te putu te roa.

3 Ā, nō te tangohanga o aua mea e rātou katoa, ka whakarērea e ia tana matau ki tahaki, ā, ora tonu te rākau, pērā i taku i kite ai i mua. Ā, ka miharo ahau, ka whakaaroaro i roto i ahau.

4 Kātahi ka mea mai taua hepara ki ahau; Kaua e miharo ki te ora tonu o taua rākau, ahakoa kua tapahia te tini o ngā manga i a ia, engari me tatari koe mō tētahi wā poto, ko te tikanga hoki tēnei a te anahera, nāna nei i hoatu aua tokotoko ki te iwi.

5 Nā, ka tono anō ia kia tangohia ngā tokotoko, ā, i te raupapatanga i riro mai ai i te katoa, ka karangatia ia ki a ia, ā, ka whakahokia mai e ia tana tokotoko; ā, i tōna whiwhinga, ka tirotirohia e ia.

6 I tangohia mai i ētahi he mea maroke, he mea pirau, ā, me te mea kua pāngia e te pūrerehua; i whakahaua e ia kia wehea atu i ētahi atu, kia waiho motuhake. Ko ētahi i hoatu he mea maroke ki roto i ā rātou tokotoko, engari kāore i pāngia e te pūrerehua: i whakahaua anō hoki e ia kia waiho motuhake.

7 Ko ētahi i hoatu i roto i ā rātou tokotoko, he haurua maroke; ko ēnei i wehea. Ko ētahi i hoatu i roto i ā rātou tokotoko, he haurua maroke, he whatiwhati; ko ēnei anō i whakatakotoria motuhaketia. Ko ētahi i mauria mai ā rātou tokotoko, he haurua maroke, he haurua matomato, ā, ko ēnei i whakatakotoria motuhaketia.

8 Ko ētahi i tuku i ā rātou tokotoko e rua ngā wāhanga matomato, ko te tuatoru he maroke; ā, i wehea hoki. Ko ētahi i kawe mai i ā rātou tokotoko e rua ngā wāhanga maroke, ko te tuatoru he matomato; ā, i whakatakotoria ko rātou anake.

9 Ko ētahi i tuku i ā rātou tokotoko kia maroke rawa, (he iti noa iho hoki, arā, ko ō rātou tihi kua maroke) engari he ngatata, ā, ko ēnei i whakatakotoria takitahitia. I roto i ngā tokotoko o ētahi he iti noa te kakariki, ā, ko ētahi atu he maroke; ā, ko ēnei i waiho takitahitia.

10 I haere mai ētahi, me te mau mai i ā rātou tokotoko matomato i te mea i riro mai i a rātou, ā, ko te nuinga o te iwi i mau mai i ā rātou tokotoko pēnei; ā, nui atu te hari o te karere ki ēnei, ā, i wehea motuhaketia hoki rātou.

11 Ko ētahi i mau mai i ā rātou tokotoko, ehara i te mea he kakariki anake, engari he ki tonu i ngā manga; ā, i waihotia ēnei ki tahaki, i manakohia hoki e te anahera me te hari nui.

Ko ētahi i mau mai i ā rātou tokotoko kakariki he manga, ā, ko ērā hoki he hua i runga i a rātou.

12 Nui atu te harikoa o te hunga i a rātou ēnei tokotoko; ā, nui atu te harikoa o te anahera ki a rātou; kāore hoki te hepara i tū tahi me ahau i whakaiti i tō rātou harikoa ki a rātou.

13 Kātahi ka whakahau te anahera a Ihowā kia mauria mai ngā karauna: ā, ka mauria mai ngā karauna he nikau; ā, ka karaunatia e te anahera ngā tāngata i roto i ā rātou manga taitamariki he hua; ā, ka whakahaua rātou kia haere ki te pourewa.

14 I tonoa atu hoki e ia ērā ki te pourewa, ā, i kitea e ia he manga kāore he hua i roto i ō rātou rākau, ka hiritia e ia. He rite tonu hoki ō rātou kākahu, arā, he mā, pērā i te hukarere; i mea atu ia kia haere rātou ki te pourewa. Ā, i pērā anō tana mahi ki te hunga i whakahoki mai i ā rātou rākau matomato, pērā i tana i whiwhi ai; i hoatu e ia he kākahu mā ki a rātou, ā, tonoa atu ana rātou kia haere ki te pourewa.

15 Nō te otinga o tēnei, ka mea ia ki te hepara i ahau, Ka haere ahau; engari me tuku atu ēnei ki roto i ngā taiepa, ia tangata, ia tangata ki te wāhi e tika ana kia nohoia e ia; tirohia tuatahitia ā rātou tokotoko, engari tirohia marietia kia kore ai koe e mamingatia e tetahi. Engari ki te mawhiti tetahi i a koe, māku rātou e whakamātautau ki runga i te aata. Nō te mutunga o tana kōrerotanga ki te hepara, ka haere ia.

16 I muri i tōna haerenga atu, ka mea mai te hepara ki ahau, Me tango e tāua ngā rākau i a rātou, ka whakatōkia; me kore pea e matomato anō. Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; E te Ariki, me pēhea rā e matomato ai aua rākau maroke?

17 Ka whakahoki ia ki ahau; He wirou taua rākau, ā, e pai tonu ana ki te ora. Nō reira, ki te whakatōkia ēnei rākau, ā, ka whiwhi i te makuku iti, ka ora ake te nuinga o rātou.

18 Nō reira ka whakamātau ahau, ka ringihia he wai ki runga i a rātou, ā, ki te ora tetahi o rātou, ka hari tahi māua; ki te kore, mā tēnei pea ka kitea ai ahau kāore i wareware ki taku wāhanga.

19 Kātahi ia ka whakahau i ahau kia karangatia rātou; ā, ka haere mai rātou katoa ki a ia, ia tangata, ia tangata i tōna tūranga, ā, ka homai e ia ā rātou tokotoko ki a ia; i te whiwhinga i aua tokotoko, ka whakatōkia e ia, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki ō rātou tūranga.

20 Ā, i muri i tana whakatōnga i a rātou katoa, ka ringihia e ia he nui te wai ki runga i a rātou, ā, taupokina rawatia iho e te wai, kāore i puta ki runga ake. Ā, i tana whakamakuku i a rātou, ka mea ia ki ahau; Me haere tāua, ā, i muri i tētahi wā poto ka hoki tāua ki te toro i a rātou.

21 Nā te kaihanga o tēnei rākau, e hiahia ana ia kia ora te hunga katoa e whiwhi ana i ōna rākau. Ā, ko taku tumanako inaianei kua whakamakukuhia ēnei rākau, kua whiwhi te tokomaha i te makuku, kia ora anō.

22 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, korerotia mai ki ahau te tikanga o tēnei rākau? Nui atu hoki tōku miharo, ahakoa kua tapahia ngā manga maha, te āhua nei kei te ora tonu; ā, kāore he mea iti iho i toe, he mea whakamiharo tēnei ki ahau.

23 Ka whakahoki ia, Whakarongo mai. Ko tēnei rākau nui e kapi ana i ngā mania me ngā maunga, me te whenua katoa, ko te ture a te Atua, e whakaputaina ana puta noa i te ao katoa.

24 Nā, ko tēnei ture ko te Tama a te Atua, e kauwhautia ana ki ngā pito katoa o te ao. Ko te hunga e tū ana i raro i tōna atarangi, ko te hunga kua rongo ki tana kauwhau, ā, kua whakapono.

25 Ko te anahera nui, whakahīhī i kitea e koe, ko Mikaera, kei a ia te mana ki runga i tana iwi, ā, e whakahaere ana i a rātou. Nāna hoki i whakatō te ture ki roto ki ngā ngākau o te hunga kua whakapono; nō reira ka toro atu ia ki te hunga kua hoatu nei e ia te ture ki a rātou, kia kite ai mēnā kua puritia e rātou.

26 Ā, ka tirotirohia e ia te tokotoko a te tangata, a te tangata; ā, he tokomaha o ēnā, he ngoikore: ko aua tokotoko hoki te ture a Ihowā. Ko reira ia ka kite i te hunga katoa kāore i pupuri i te ture, e mōhio ana ki te tūranga o ia tangata, o ia tangata.

27 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, he aha i tonoa atu ai e ia ētahi ki te pourewa, ā, waiho iho ētahi ki konei ki a koe?

Ka whakahoki ia, ko te hunga kua takahi i te ture i riro mai i a ia, kei raro i tōku mana, kia ripeneta ai rātou i ō rātou hara: ko te hunga ia kua whakatutuki i te ture, ā, kua pupuri i te ture, kei raro i tōna mana.

28 Ko wai rā, e ai ki ahau, ko te hunga i haere ki te pourewa me te karauna? Ka mea ia, ko te hunga katoa i whawhai ki te rewera, kua hinga i a ia, kua karaunatia: ko te hunga hoki i whakamamaetia e ngā mea uaua, kia mau ai rātou ki te ture.

29 Ko te hunga ia i tukua ā rātou rākau kia matomato, me ngā manga taitamariki, engari kāore he hua, kua whakamanawanui rātou ki te raruraru mō taua ture anō, engari kāore i mate; kāore anō hoki rātou i whakakahore i tā rātou ture tapu.

30 Ko te hunga i tuku mai i ā rātou tokotoko matomato i te taenga mai, ko rātou te hunga ngākau mahaki, te hunga tika, ā, kua noho mā te hinengaro, ā, kua pupuri i ngā ture a te Atua.

31 Ko te toenga ka mōhio koe, ina whakaarohia e au aua rākau i whakatōkia e au, i whakamakuku ai.

32 I muri i ētahi rā ka hoki māua, ā, i taua wāhi anō i tū ai taua anahera kororia, me ahau hoki i tū i tōna taha, Kātahi

ia ka mea mai ki ahau; Whitikiria he tauera ki a koe, ka mahi ki ahau.

33 Ā, i whitikiria e ahau tētahi tauera ma, he mea hanga ki te kakahu taratara. Ā, i tōna kitenga i ahau kua whitikiria, kua rite hoki ki te mahi minita ki a ia, ka mea ia, Karangatia ngā tāngata kua whakatōkia ā rātou tokotoko, ia tangata ki tōna raupapa, kia rite ki tāna i whakahau ai ki a rātou.

34 Nā ka kawea ahau e ia ki te parae, ā ka karangatia rātou katoa e ahau, ā, tū rite tonu rātou i roto i ō rātou rarangi.

Kātahi ia ka mea ki a rātou, me hutia ake e ia tangata tāna tokotoko, ka mauria mai ki ahau. Nā, ko te tuatahi i homai e rātou ā rātou tokotoko, he maroke, he pirau hoki.

35 Ā, ko te hunga i mau tonu ā rātou tokotoko, ka whakahaua e ia kia tū motuhake. Kātahi ka haere mai te hunga i maroke ā rātou tokotoko, engari kāore i pirau. Ko ētahi o ēnei i homai he kakariki ā rātou tokotoko; ko ētahi he maroke, he pirau, me te mea kua pāngia e te pūrerehua.

36 Ko te hunga i tuku i a rātou he rākau matomato, i whakahaua e ia kia tū motuhake; ko te hunga ia i maroke, i pirau hoki ā rātou rākau, i meinga kia tū tahi me te hunga tuatahi. Kātahi ka haere mai te hunga i haurua te maroke o ā rātou rākau, ā, kua whatiwhati: he tokomaha o ēnei i tuku i ā rātou rākau matomato, ā, kua kore e mau.

37 Ko ētahi i tuku i a rātou kia matomato, he manga, he hua hoki i runga i ngā manga, pērā i te hunga i haere ki te pourewa. Ko ētahi i tuku i a rātou kia maroke, engari kāore i pirau; ko ētahi i tuku i a rātou kia rite ki tō rātou āhua o mua, he haurua maroke, kua pakaru.

38 I whakahau ia i a rātou katoa kia tū motuhake; ko ētahi kia tū motuhake, ko ētahi kia rite ki ō rātou ake rarangi.

39 Kātahi ka haere mai te hunga i matomato ā rātou tokotoko, engari he whatiwhati. I tukua mai e rātou ā rātou tokotoko he matomato katoa, ā, tū ana i roto i ō rātou ake raupapa. Ā, ka koa te hepara ki ēnei, nā te mea kua rerekē katoa rātou, kua wetekina i ō rātou whatiwhati.

40 Kātahi ka tukua mai ā rātou tokotoko, ā, ko te haurua he kakariki, ko te haurua he maroke. Ko ētahi i kitea he kakariki katoa, ko ētahi he maroke; ko ētahi he kakariki, he wana hou. Ā, ka tukuna atu ēnei katoa, ia tangata, ia tangata ki tōna tūranga tika.

41 Kātahi ka tukua e rātou ā rātou tokotoko, e rua ngā wāhanga kakariki i mua, ko te tuatoru he maroke. He tokomaha o rātou i homai ā rātou tokotoko kakariki; he tokomaha he maroke te haurua; ko ētahi he maroke engari kāore i pirau. Nā, ka tukuna atu ēnei, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki tōna wāhi tika.

42 Kātahi ka haere mai te hunga i mua i ā rātou tokotoko, e rua ngā wāhanga maroke, ko te tuatoru he matomato; he tokomaha o rātou i tuku i ā rātou tokotoko, he haurua maroke, he pirau; ko ētahi he maroke, he whatiwhati; engari he torutoru noa iho he matomato. Ā, ko ēnei katoa i whakaritea ki tōna ake tūranga.

43 Kātahi ka totoro atu ō rātou ringa ki roto i ā rātou tokotoko, he iti noa iho te kakariki i mua, ā, ko ētahi i maroke. Ko te nuinga o ā rātou tokotoko he kakariki, he ririki ngā manga, he hua kei runga, ko ētahi i kakariki katoa.

44 Nā, ka hari rawa te hepara i te kitenga i a rātou, i te mea kua kitea rātou e ia pērā; ā, haere ana rātou ki tā rātou i whakarite ai.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

45 Ā, i muri i tana tirotiro i ā rātou tokotoko katoa, ka mea ia ki ahau, i kōrero ahau ki a koe, e aroha ana tēnei rākau ki te ora: kua kite koe i te tokomaha kua ripeneta, ā, kua whiwhi ki te whakaoranga. E te Ariki, ka mea ahau, kua kite ahau.

46 Kia mōhio ai koe, e ai ki tāna, he nui te pai me te aroha o Ihowā, ā, he mea whakahonoretia; nāna i homai tōna wairua ki te hunga i kitea he tika kia ripeneta.

47 Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, he aha rā te ripeneta ai rātou katoa? Ka whakahoki ia, Ko te hunga i kite mua te Ariki he ma ō rātou hinengaro, ā, ka mahi ki a ia me ō rātou ngākau katoa, i hoatu e ia ki a rātou te ripeneta.

48 Engari mō te hunga i kite ia i tā rātou tinihanga me tā rātou kino, ā, i kite hoki e kore rātou e hoki pono ki a ia; i whakakahoretia rātou e ia kia hoki ki te ripeneta, kei kohukohu anō rātou i tana ture ki ngā kupu kino.

49 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; Nā, e te Ariki, whakamārama mai ki ahau, ko tēhea te tūranga o te hunga katoa kua tukua ā rātou tokotoko, me tō rātou wāhi; kia rongo ai rātou, kia whakapono ai ki ēnei mea, ina kore rātou e pupuri i tā rātou hiri, engari kua maumauria te hiri i riro i a rātou.

50 Ā, i a rātou e whiwhi ana i tā rātou hiri mai i a koe, ka whakakororiatia te Atua, mōna i aroha ki a rātou, i tono mai hoki i a koe kia whakahoutia ō rātou wairua.

51 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia: ko te hunga kua maroke, kua pirau ā rātou tokotoko, me te mea kua pāngia e te purehurehu; ko rātou ngā kaiwhakarere, ngā kaituku i te hāhi.

52 Nā rātou anō i kohukohu ki te Ariki, me ērā atu hara i mahia ki a rātou. Nō reira, kua mate katoa ēnei ki te Atua: ā, e kite ana koe kāore tetahi o rātou i ripeneta, ahakoa kua rongo rātou i aku whakahau i tukua e koe ki a rātou. Nō reira, kei tawhiti te ora i ēnei tāngata.

53 Ko te hunga hoki kua tukua ā rātou tokotoko kia maroke, engari kāore i pirau, kāore i tawhiti atu i a rātou. He hunga tinihanga hoki rātou, ā, kua kawea mai e rātou ngā whakaakoranga kino; ā, kua whakapohehetia e rātou ngā pononga a te Atua: engari ko te hunga i hara, kāore i tukua kia hoki rātou ki te ripeneta, engari e pupuri ana i a rātou mā ā rātou whakaakoranga teka.

54 Nō reira, he tumanako tō ēnei; ā, e kite ana koe kua ripeneta te tokomaha o rātou, mai i te wā i whakatakotoria ai e koe aku ture ki mua i a rātou; ā, he tokomaha atu anō ka ripeneta. Ko te hunga ia e kore e ripeneta ka ngaro i a rātou te ripeneta me te ora.

55 Ko te hunga ia kua ripeneta, kua tīmata tō rātou tūranga ki roto i ngā taiepa tuatahi, ā, ko ētahi o rātou kua tomo ki te pourewa. Nō reira, e kite ana koe, e ai ki tāna, kei roto i te ripeneta o te hunga hara te ora; engari mō te hunga kāore e ripeneta, kua rite te mate.

56 Whakarongo mai ki te hunga i tuku i ā rātou tokotoko, he maroke te haurua, he ngatata te katoa. Ko te hunga i maroke te haurua o ā rātou tokotoko, ko rātou te hunga ruarua; kāore hoki rātou i te ora, kāore hoki i te mate.

57 Ko te hunga ia i tuku i ā rātou tokotoko, ehara i te mea he haurua maroke anake, engari he maha hoki ngā ngatata, he hunga ruarua, he hunga kōrero kino; e whakahawea ana ki te hunga ngaro, ā, kāore rawa he rangimārie i waenganui i a rātou anō, e hae ana tetahi ki tetahi.

58 Heoi, e tukuna ana te ripeneta ki a rātou; kua kite hoki koe kua ripeneta ētahi o rātou.

59 Nā, ko te hunga katoa o tēnei momo kua hohoro te ripeneta, ka whai wāhi rātou ki te pourewa; engari ko te hunga kua puhoi ake te ripeneta, ka noho ki roto i ngā taiepa; engari ko te hunga e kore e ripeneta, engari ka haere tonu i roto i ā rātou mahi kino, ka mate rātou.

60 Ko te hunga he kakariki ā rātou tokotoko, engari he whatiwhati; ko rātou te hunga pono tonu, he hunga pai, engari he hae, he tautohetohe i waenganui i a rātou anō mō te mana me te hiranga.

61 Nā, he hunga wairangi, he hunga kore matauranga ēnei tāngata katoa, e totohe ana tetahi ki tetahi mō ēnei mea.

62 Ahakoa rā, i te mea he pai rātou, ki te rongo rātou i ēnei whakahau ka whakatikatika i a rātou anō, ā, i taku whakatenatena ka ripeneta ohorere rātou; ka noho rātou i te pourewa i te mutunga, me te mea kua ripeneta pono, kua tika hoki.

63 Engari ki te hoki anō tetahi ki tana whakahē; ka āraia ia ki waho o te pourewa, ā, ka ngaro tōna ora. Ko te ora hoki o te hunga e pupuri ana i ngā ture a te Ariki, ko te mahi i ngā mea i whakahaua ki a rātou; ehara i te mea he rangatira, he rangatira rānei.

64 Mā te manawanui me te ngākau mahaki ka whiwhi ai te tangata ki te ora; mā te tutu me te whakahawea ki te ture ia ka riro mai ai te mate mō rātou anō.

65 Ko te hunga i roto i ā rātou tokotoko he haurua maroke, he haurua matomato, ko rātou ēnei e uru ana ki ngā mahi maha o te ao, kāore hoki i uru ki te hunga tapu. Nā reira, ko te haurua o rātou e ora ana, ko te haurua kua mate.

66 Nō reira, he tokomaha o ēnei mai i te wā i rongo ai rātou i aku whakahau, kua ripeneta, ā, kua tīmata te noho ki te pourewa. Engari ko ētahi o rātou kua tino taka atu; kāore he wāhi mō te ripeneta ki a rātou.

67 Nā ō rātou painga o nāianei i kohukohu ai rātou, i whakakahore ai i te Atua: ā, nā tēnei kino i ngaro ai ō rātou ora. Ā, he tokomaha tonu o ēnei kei te ruarua tonu; tērā pea ēnei e hoki mai anō; ā, ki te hohoro rātou te ripeneta, ka whai wāhi rātou ki te pourewa; engari ki te puhoi ake rātou, ka noho rātou ki roto i ngā taiepa; engari ki te kore rātou e ripeneta, ka mate rātou.

68 Mō te hunga e rua ngā wāhanga o ā rātou tokotoko he matomato, ā, ko te tuatoru he maroke; he maha ngā huarahi kua whakakahoretia e rātou te Ariki. He tokomaha o rātou kua ripeneta, ā, kua kitea he wāhi i roto i te pourewa: ā, he tokomaha kua whakarērea te Atua. Ko ēnei kua ngaro rawa te ora.

69 Ā, i te mea kei roto ētahi i te āhua ruarua, kua whakaarahia e rātou ngā tautohetohe: tera pea ēnei e hoki mai anō, ki te mea ka ripeneta ohorere rātou, ā, ka kore e mau tonu i roto i ō rātou hiahia; engari ki te mea ka mau tonu rātou i roto i ā rātou mahi kino ka mate rātou.

70 Ko te hunga i hoatu i ngā wāhanga e rua o te mea maroke ki roto i ā rātou tokotoko, ko tētahi wāhanga matomato; ko te hunga pono, engari he whai rawa, he kī tonu i ngā mea pai; nō reira i hiahia ai rātou kia rongonui i roto i ngā tauiwi o waho, ā, nō reira kua hinga rātou ki te whakapehapeha nui, ā, kua tīmata ki te whai i ngā mea nui, me te whakarērea te pono.

71 Kāore hoki rātou i uru ki te hunga tapu, engari i noho tahi rātou me ngā tauiwi; ā, i te āhua nei he mea ahuareka ake tēnei oranga ki a rātou. Heoi, kāore rātou i whakarērea te Atua, engari i mau tonu ki te whakapono; engari kāore rātou i mahi i ngā mahi o te whakapono.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

72 Nō reira, he tokomaha o ēnei kua ripeneta, ā, kua tīmata te noho ki te pourewa. Ko ētahi atu anō e noho tonu ana i roto i te iwi tauiwi, ā, kua hikitia ki ō rātou whakapehapeha, kua tino taka atu i te Atua, ā, kua whai i ngā mahi me ngā kino o ngā tauiwi. Nō reira, ka kiia ēnei momo tāngata he hunga tauhou ki te Rongopai.

73 Ko ētahi o ēnei i tīmata te ruarua i roto i ō rātou hinengaro; e pouri ana mō ā rātou mahi kino, e kore rawa e taea te whiwhi ki te whakaoranga: Nā te mea i ruarua ai ētahi, i whakaoho ake ai i ngā tautohetohe.

74 Nō reira, ki ēnei, me te hunga kua ruarua nā ā rātou mahi, kei te mau tonu te tumanako mō te hokinga mai; engari me hohoro rātou te ripeneta, kia noho ai rātou ki te pourewa. Ko te hunga ia kāore e ripeneta, engari e mau tonu ana ki ā rātou ahuareka, kua tata rātou ki te mate.

75 Ko te hunga i homai ā rātou tokotoko kakariki, engari ko ō rātou pito anake i maroke, ā, he ngatata; he pai tonu ēnei, he pono, he tika ki te aroaro o te Atua: heoi he iti noa iho tā rātou hara, nā ō rātou ahuareka koretake me ngā whakaaro teka noa i roto i a rātou anō.

76 Nō reira, he tokomaha o rātou i te rongonga i aku kupu, ka ripeneta tonu, ā, ka noho ki te pourewa. Heoi, ka ruarua ētahi, ko ētahi ki ō rātou hinengaro ruarua ka tāpiri atu ki ngā tautohetohe. Nō reira, kei te mau tonu te tumanako ki ēnei mō te hokinga mai, nā te mea he pai tonu rātou; engari e kore rātou e nekehia.

77 Mō te hunga whakamutunga, i whakamaroke i ā rātou tokotoko, ko ō rātou pito anake i mahue, ko ērā anake i matomato: ko rātou te hunga i whakapono pono ki te Atua, engari i noho i roto i te kino; engari kāore i whakarērea te Atua: i te mea i mau tonu te ngākau ki te ingoa o te Ariki; ā, i manaaki wawe i ngā pononga a te Atua ki roto i ō rātou whare.

78 Nō reira, i tō rātou rongonga i ēnei mea, ka hoki wawe mai rātou, ka ripeneta, ka noho i runga i te tika katoa. Ā, ko ētahi o rātou i mate: ko ētahi i pāngia e ngā whakamātautau maha, i te mahara ki ā rātou mahi kino.

79 Ā, i tana mutunga i tana whakamārama i ngā tokotoko katoa, ka mea ia ki ahau, Haere, mea atu ki ngā tāngata katoa kia ripeneta rātou, kia ora ai rātou ki te Atua: nā te mea i uhungatia ahau e te Ariki e te nui o tōna aroha noa, kua tonoa mai ahau e ia ki te kauwhau i te ripeneta ki te katoa.

80 Ahakoa ki te hunga kāore e tika kia whiwhi ki te whakaoranga nā ā rātou mahi kino. Engari ka manawanui te Ariki, ā, ka pupuri i te pōwhiri a tana Tama.

81 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko taku tumanako ka ripeneta te hunga katoa ina rongo i ēnei mea. E u ana hoki taku tumanako ka hoki te hunga katoa e whakaae ana ki āna hara, e wehi ana hoki i te Ariki, ki te ripeneta.

82 I mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te tangata e ripeneta me ō rātou ngākau katoa, e horoi ana i a rātou anō i ngā kino katoa kua kōrerotia e au i mua, ā, e kore e tāpiri atu i tētahi atu mea ki ā rātou hara, ka whiwhi ia i te rongoā mai i te Ariki mō ā rātou hara o mua, ki te kore rātou e ruarua i ēnei ture, ā, ka ora ki te Atua.

83 Ko te hunga ia e haere tonu ana ki te whakanui i ā rātou hara, e kōrero tonu ana ki ngā hiahia o tēnei ao, ka whakataua e rātou ki a rātou anō ki te mate. Engari me haere koe i roto i ēnei ture, ā, ko te tangata e haere ana i roto i ēnei ture, e mahi tika ana i aua ture, ka ora ia ki te Atua.

84 Ā, i muri i tana whakakitenga mai i ēnei mea katoa ki ahau, ka mea ia, Māku e whakakite ki a koe te toenga i roto i ngā rā torutoru.

TE WHAKARITE 9 1 I muri i taku tuhituhi i ngā Whakahau me ngā Whakatakotoranga a te Hepara, te Anahera o te Ripeneta; ka haere mai ia ki ahau, ka mea mai ki ahau, Māku e whakaatu ki a koe ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e te Wairua ki a koe i raro i te tauira o te Hāhi. Ko taua Wairua hoki te Tama a te Atua.

2 Nā te mea he ngoikore tō tinana, kāore i whakaaturia ki a koe e te anahera, kia whakakahangia rā anō koe e te Wairua, kia nui haere ai tō kaha, kia kite ai hoki koe i te anahera.

3 I reira hoki, i whakakitea pai rawa atu, i whakakitenga kororiatia hoki te hanganga o te pourewa ki a koe e te hāhi; heoi, i kite koe i ngā mea katoa i whakakitea ki a koe me te mea he wahine tapu.

4 Inaianei kua whakamāramatia koe e te anahera, engari nā te Wairua kotahi anō. Engari me ata whakaaro koe ki ngā mea katoa; nā reira hoki ahau i tonoa mai ai ki tō whare e taua karere honore, kia kore ai koe e mataku pērā i mua, ina kite koe i ngā mea katoa me te mana.

5 Ā, ka arahina ahau e ia ki te tihi o tētahi maunga i Ākātia, ā, noho ana māua i runga i tōna tihi. Ā, ka whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau tētahi mania nui, me ngā maunga tekau mā rua i tōna taha, he rerekē ngā āhua.

6 He mangu te tuatahi, pērā i te pungarehu. He maeneene te tuarua, kāore he otaota. Ki tonu te tuatoru i ngā tataramoa me ngā tumatakuru. He otaota maroke te tuawhā; he kakariki te taha o runga, engari he maroke te pakiaka i muri mai; ā, ko ētahi o ngā otaota, i te weranga o te rā, kua maroke.

7 He tino pari te maunga tuarima; engari he otaota matomato anō hoki. Ki tonu te maunga tuaono i ngā kapiti, ko ētahi he iti, ko ētahi he nui; ā, i roto i ēnei kapiti ka tupu te tarutaru, kāore i tupu, engari me te mea kua maroke.

8 He wāhi kai ataahua te maunga tuawhitu, he nui ngā hua: ā, i kai ngā kararehe katoa, me ngā manu o te rangi i runga; ā, i te nui o tā rātou kai i te tarutaru, ka nui haere, ka pai ake te tupu.

9 Kī tonu te maunga tuawaru i ngā puna wai, ā, i aua puna wai i whakamakukuhia ai ngā momo mea hanga katoa a te Atua. Kāore he wai o te maunga tuaiwa, engari kāore i roto; ā, i whāngai i ngā nakahi whakamate, ā, i whakangaro i te tangata.

10 Kī tonu te tekau o ngā maunga i ngā rākau teitei, ā, he marumaru katoa: i raro i te marumaru o aua rākau i takoto ai ngā kau e okioki ana, e ngaungau ana i te kai.

11 Kī tonu te maunga tekau mā tahi i ngā rākau matotoru rawa; ā, te āhua nei kua kī tonu aua rākau i ngā momo hua maha; ā, ko te hunga katoa i kite i a rātou, kāore e taea te whiriwhiri engari ko te hiahia ki te kai i ō rātou hua.

12 He mā katoa te maunga tekau mā rua, he tino ataahua te āhua, ā, i tino ataahua anō hoki.

13 ¶ I waenganui o te mania tuatahi, i whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau tētahi toka nui ma, e ara ake ana i te mania, ā, he teitei ake te toka i aua maunga, he tapawhā hoki; nō reira i te āhua nei ka taea te tautoko i te ao katoa.

14 Ki taku titiro he tawhito, heoi he kēti hou kei roto, me te mea he mea hou te whakairo i roto. Nā, he mārama rawa atu taua kēti i tua atu i te rā; ā, i tino miharo ahau ki tōna māramatanga.

15 Tekau mā rua ngā wāhine i tū i te taha o te kūaha; tokowhā o ēnei i tū ki ngā kokonga o te kūaha, ki taku titiro ko rātou te hunga tino rangatira, ko ētahi atu ia he hunga whai rawa: ā, i tū rātou i ngā taha e whā o te kūaha.

16 I tāpiri atu hoki ki te ataahua o aua wahine, i te tū takirua o rātou, he kakahu rinena ō rātou, he whitiki ataahua hoki ō rātou ringa matau, e wātea ana, me te mea nei kei te hapai i tētahi kawenga; nā te mea i whakapaipaihia rātou, ā, i tino harikoa, i rite hoki.

17 I taku kitenga i tēnei, ka miharo ahau ki te kite i ēnei mea nunui, rangatira. Ā, ka miharo anō ahau ki te kōrero mō aua wahine, he tino ataahua, he ātaahua hoki rātou; ā, i tū pakari, i pumau tonu hoki rātou, me te mea nei ka taea e rātou te kawe i te rangi katoa.

18 Ā, i ahau e whakaaroaro ana i roto i ahau, ka mea te hepara ki ahau: He aha tāu e whakaaro ana i roto i a koe, e ohorere ai koe, e whakakī ai i a koe ki te manukanuka?

19 Kaua e whakaaro ki ngā mea kāore i te mārama, me te mea he tangata whakaaro nui koe, engari inoi ki te Ariki, kia taea ai e koe te mārama: e kore e taea e koe te mārama ki ngā mea e haere ake nei, engari e kite ana koe i ngā mea kei mua i a koe.

20 Nō reira, kaua e manukanuka ki ngā mea kāore e kitea e koe; engari kia mārama koe ki ngā mea e kitea nei e koe.

21 Kaua e hiahia ki te mōhio; ā, māku e whakaatu ki a koe ngā mea katoa e tika ana kia whakapuakina e ahau ki a koe; engari me whakaaro tuatahi ki ngā mea e toe ana.

22 Ā, i tana kōrerotanga mai i tēnei ki ahau, ka titiro ake ahau, ā, ka kite ahau i ētahi tāngata tokoono, he roa, he rangatira e haere mai ana; he rite tonu ō rātou mata; ā, ka karangatia e rātou tētahi ope tangata; ā, ko te hunga i tae mai i tā rātou karangatanga he roa, he pakari hoki.

23 Ā, ka whakahaua rātou e aua tokoono kia hanga he pourewa ki runga i taua kūaha. Ā, ka tīmata tonu te haruru nui o aua tāngata e oma haere ana i te kūaha, i huihui mai nei ki te hanga i te pourewa.

24 Otira ko aua wahine i tu i te kuwaha, i kite ratou me tere te hanga o te pourewa, a ka totoro atu o ratou ringa, me te mea nei ka riro mai i a ratou tetahi mea hei mahi.

25 Kātahi ka whakahau aua tāngata tokoono kia hiki ake i ngā kōhatu i tētahi wāhi hohonu, kia rite ai mō te hanganga o te pourewa. Ā, tekau ngā kōhatu ma i hikitia ake, he tapawhā, kāore i tapahia porowhita.

26 Kātahi ka karangatia e aua tāngata tokoono ngā wāhine tekau, ā, ka whakahaua rātou kia haria ngā kōhatu katoa e whakatakotoria ana ki te whare, kia haria hoki mā te kūaha hei tuku ki te hunga e hanga ana i te pourewa.

27 I taua wā tonu ka tīmata ngā wāhine katoa ki te hapai ake i ngā kōhatu i tangohia i mua i te hohonu.

28 Ā, ko te hunga i tū i te taha o te kūaha, i amo i ngā kōhatu, ā, ko ngā kōhatu i kitea he tino kaha i whakatakotoria ki ngā kokonga, ko ētahi i whakatakotoria ki ngā taha.

29 Nā, ka haria e rātou ngā kōhatu katoa, ka kawea mā roto i te kūaha, ā, ka tukua ki ngā kaihanga, pērā i te whakahaunga ki a rātou. Nā rātou i tango i aua kōhatu i ō rātou ringa, ā, ka hanga ki aua kōhatu.

30 Engari i hangaia tēnei whare ki runga i taua toka nui, ki runga hoki i te kūaha; ā, nā ēnei i tautoko te pourewa katoa.

Engari i whakakīia te kūaha katoa e te hanganga o ngā kōhatu tekau, i tīmata ai te hanga hei turanga mō taua pourewa.

31 I muri i aua kōhatu tekau, ka ara ake ētahi atu kōhatu e rua tekau mā rima i te hohonu; ā, ka whakatakotoria ēnei ki te hanganga o taua pourewa anō; ka hikitia ake e aua wahine, pērā i ngā kōhatu o mua.

32 I muri iho i ēnei ka ara ake ētahi atu e toru tekau mā rima; ā, i rite tonu te hononga o ēnei ki taua mahi. Kātahi ka whakaarahia ake ētahi atu kōhatu e whā tekau, ā, i tāpirihia ēnei katoa ki te hanganga o taua pourewa.

33 Nā, ka tīmata te whakatūnga o ngā tūāpapa e whā ki te turanga o taua pourewa; ā, ka mutu te ara ake o ngā kōhatu i te hohonu; ā, ka okioki hoki te hunga hanga mō tētahi wā poto.

34 I whakahau anō aua tāngata tokoono ki te mano, kia mauria mai he kōhatu i aua maunga tekau mā rua hei hanga i taua pourewa kotahi.

35 Nā, ka tapahia e rātou ngā kōhatu o ngā maunga katoa, he maha ngā tae, ā, ka mauria mai ki ngā kōtiro; ā, i te whiwhinga o aua kōhatu, ka haria e rātou, ka tukua ki te hanganga o te pourewa.

36 I te hanganga o aua whare, ka mā, ka rerekē i ō mua; he rite tonu hoki ō rātou tae katoa, ā, kua rerekē ō rātou tae o mua. Ā, ko ētahi i tae atu ki runga e ngā tāne, ā, i tō rātou taenga ki roto i te whare, ka mau tonu te āhua o te whare i a rātou e whakaurua ana ki roto.

37 Kāore ēnei i ma, kāore hoki i rerekē i ō mua; nā te mea kāore i haria e ngā wāhine mā te kūaha. Nā reira i kino ai ēnei kōhatu i roto i te whare: ā, i te kitenga o aua tāngata tokoono, ka whakahaua kia tangohia, kia whakahokia ki te wāhi i haria mai ai.

38 Ā, ka mea rātou ki te hunga nāna i kawe mai aua kōhatu; Kaua e kawea mai he kōhatu ki a mātou mō tēnei whare, engari whakatakotoria ki te taha o te pourewa, ā, mā ēnei kōtiro e kawe mai, e kawe mai ki a mātou.

39 Ki te kore hoki rātou e haria e ēnei wahine mā roto i tēnei kūaha, e kore e taea e rātou te whakarerekē i ō rātou tae; nō reira kaua e mahi noa.

40 Nā, i oti te hanga i taua rā; engari kāore anō kia oti te pourewa; nō muri hoki ka hanga, nō reira i whakaroahia ai.

41 Ā, i whakahau ēnei tāngata tokoono i te hunga nāna i hanga kia haere, me te mea nei me okioki mō tētahi wā; engari i whakahau rātou i aua wahine kia kaua e haere atu i te pourewa; ināianei ki ahau nei, me te mea kua waiho rātou hei kaitiaki.

42 I te haerenga atu o te katoa, ka mea atu ahau ki taua hepara; E te Ariki, he aha te take i kore ai e oti te hanga o te pourewa? Nā te mea e kore e taea te whakaoti kia tae mai rā anō tōna Ariki, kia whakaaetia te hanganga; ki te kitea e ia ētahi kōhatu kāore i te pai, me whakarerekē; nā te mea kua hangaia tēnei pourewa i runga i tana i pai ai.

43 E te rangatira, ka mea atu ahau, e hiahia ana ahau kia mōhio ki te tikanga o te hanganga o tēnei pourewa; kia mōhiotia hoki ahau mō tēnei toka, me tēnei kūaha.

44 Ā, mō ngā maunga, me ngā kōhatu i ara ake i te hohonu, kāore i tapahia, engari i whakatakotoria ki roto i te whare i te wā tonu i puta mai ai; ā, he aha i whakatakotoria tuatahitia ai ngā kōhatu tekau ki te turanga; kātahi ko ngā

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

rua tekau mā rima; kātahi ko ngā toru tekau mā rima; kātahi ko ngā whā tekau?

45 Mō ēnei kōhatu i whakatakotoria ki roto i te whare, ā, i tangohia anō, ka whakahokia ki tō rātou wāhi? Kia tutuki, e taku inoi, te hiahia o tōku wairua mō ēnei mea katoa, kia whakakitea mai hoki ki ahau.

46 Ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ki te kore koe e mangere, ka mōhio koe ki ngā mea katoa, ā, ka kite koe i ngā mea katoa e meake nei puta i tēnei pourewa; ā, ka mārama koe ki ēnei kupu whakarite katoa.

47 Ā, i muri i ētahi rā, ka tae mātou ki te wāhi i noho ai mātou i mua; ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Me haere tāua ki te pourewa; ka haere mai hoki te Ariki o reira, ka tirotiro.

48 Nō reira, ka tae mātou ki reira, ā, kāore he tangata i kitea e mātou i reira, ko aua wahine anake. Nā ka pātai atu ia ki a rātou, mehemea rānei i tae mai te Ariki o taua pourewa ki reira? Ā, ka whakahoki rātou, ka tae atu ia ki reira i tēnei wā tonu ki te tirotiro i te whare.

49 ¶ I muri tata iho ka kite ahau i tētahi ope nui e haere mai ana, ā, i waenganui i a rātou ko tētahi tangata roa rawa, ā, neke atu ana tōna teitei i te pourewa.

50 I tōna taha ko aua tokoono, ko rātou ngā rangatira o te whare, me ērā atu katoa o te hunga nāna i hanga taua pourewa, me te tini ke atu o ngā rangatira nunui: ā, ka oma ngā wāhine tiaki o te pourewa ki te whakatau i a ia, ka kihi i a ia, ā, ka anga atu ki a ia.

51 Heoi, i tirotirohia e ia te whare me te tino tupato, ā, i pā atu ia ki ia kōhatu; ā, i patua e ia ki ia kōhatu ki tana tokotoko i tōna ringa: 52 Ko ētahi i pāngia, ka mangu pērā i te pungarehu; ko ētahi he taratara; ko ētahi i te āhua he ngatata; ko ētahi i te āhua kua pakaru: ko ētahi kāore i te mangu, kāore hoki i te mā; ko ētahi i te āhua koi, kāore i rite ki ngā kōhatu kē, ko ētahi i te ira.

53 Ko ēnei ngā momo kōhatu kāore i kitea he tika mō te whare; ko ngā mea katoa i whakahaua e te Ariki kia tangohia mai i te pourewa, kia whakatakotoria ki tōna taha, me ētahi atu kōhatu kia kawea mai kia whakatakotoria ki ō rātou tūranga.

54 Ā, ka pātai atu ngā kaihanga ki a ia, ko tēhea o ngā maunga e pai ai ia kia kawea mai ngā kōhatu hei whakakapi mō ngā mea kua whakatakotoria. Engari i āraia rātou e ia kia kaua e kawea mai ētahi o ngā maunga, ā, i whakahaua kia tangohia mai i tētahi mara e tata ana.

55 Nā, ka keri rātou i te parae, ā, ka kitea he maha ngā kōhatu tapawhā kanapa, me ētahi hoki he porowhita. Heoi, ko te hunga katoa i kitea i taua parae i tangohia atu, ā, i haria mā roto i te kūaha e aua wahine; ā, ko te hunga tapawhā i whakanohoia ki ngā wāhi o te hunga i unuhia ki waho.

56 Engari kāore i whakanohoia ngā mea porowhita ki roto i te whare, he pakeke hoki, ā, he roa rawa te wā e hiahiatia ana hei tapahi; engari i whakatakotoria ki te taha o te pourewa, me te mea ka tapahia kia tapawhā i muri mai, ka whakanohoia ki roto i te whare; he mā rawa hoki.

57 I te kitenga o te rangatira, te rangatira o te pourewa katoa, i tēnei, ka karanga ia i te hepara i ahau, ā, ka hoatu ki a ia ngā kōhatu i whakarērea, i whakatakotoria ki te taha o te pourewa, ka mea atu ki a ia; Horoia ēnei kōhatu kia tino tupato, ā, tāpirihia ki te hanganga o te pourewa, kia ōrite ai ki ētahi atu; ko ngā mea ia e kore e ōrite ki ētahi atu, maka atu ki tawhiti atu i te pourewa.

58 Nō te mutunga o tana whakahaunga i a ia, ka haere ia me te hunga katoa i haere tahi mai me ia ki te pourewa: ko aua wahine ia i tū tonu i te taha o te pourewa hei tiaki i te pourewa.

59 Ā, ka mea atu ahau ki taua hepara, Me pēhea rā e taea ai e ēnei kōhatu, kua whakakahoretia nei hoki, te hoki ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa? Ka whakahoki ia; Ka tapahia e ahau te wāhanga nui rawa atu i mua i ēnei kōhatu, ka tāpiri atu ki te whare, ā, ka whakaae tahi rātou me ērā atu.

60 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, me pēhea e taea ai e rātou te whakakī i te wāhi kotahi, i te mea ka tapahia rawatia rātou? Ka whakahoki ia; Ko te hunga e kitea ana he iti rawa, ka whakanohoia ki waenganui o te whare, ko te hunga nui ka whakanohoia ki waho, ka puritia ki roto.

61 I tana kōrerotanga mai ki ahau, ka mea ia; Me haere tāua, ā, kia toru ngā rā ka hoki tāua, ā, māku ēnei kōhatu e whakatakoto ki roto i te pourewa, kua horoia.

62 Me horoi hoki ēnei mea katoa e karapoti ana i te pourewa, kei puta ohorere mai te rangatira o te whare, kei kite i te hunga e karapoti ana i te pourewa kua poke; ā, ka riri rawa, kei whakatakotoria ēnei kōhatu ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa, ā, ka kiia ahau kua wareware ki ngā whakahau a tōku ariki.

63 Nō reira, i tō mātou taenga atu i muri i ngā rā e toru ki te pourewa, ka mea mai ia ki ahau; Me tirotiro tātou i ēnei kōhatu katoa, kia kite tātou ko ēhea o aua kōhatu ka taea te whakauru ki roto i te whare. Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, me titiro tātou.

64 ¶ Nā, i te tuatahi, ka tīmata mātou ki te whakaaro ki te hunga mangu; i kitea hoki rātou i tō rātou āhua i te wā i unuhia ai rātou i te pourewa: nō reira i whakahaua ai e ia kia tangohia atu rātou i te pourewa, kia waiho ko rātou anake.

65 Kātahi ia ka tirotiro i ngā mea i taratara; ā, ka whakahaua e ia kia tapahia te tini o aua mea, kia whakanohoia hoki e ngā wāhine ki roto i te whare o te pourewa; nō reira ka tangohia e rātou, ka whakanohoia ki waenganui o te whare; ā, ka whakahaua e ia kia whakatakotoria ngā toenga me ngā mea mangu, kua mangu hoki.

66 Muri iho ka whakaarohia e ia ngā mea kī tonu i ngā kapiti, ā, he maha anō hoki o aua mea i whakahaua e ia kia whakahoroa, kia tāpirihia atu ai ki te toenga o te whare e aua wahine anō.

67 I whakatakotoria ēnei ki waho nā te mea kua kitea kua ora katoa; engari ko ngā toenga i te maha o ngā kapiti kāore i taea te hanga hou, nō reira i maka atu ai i te hanganga o te pourewa.

68 Kātahi ia ka whakaaro ki te hunga i whara; he tokomaha o ēnei i pakaru, ā, kua mangu; ko ētahi he ngatata nui; i whakahaua e ia kia whakatakotoria ēnei ki roto i te hunga i whakakahoretia.

69 Engari i te mea kua horoia, kua whakatikatikaina hoki ētahi atu, ka whakahaua e ia kia whakanohoia ki roto i te whare. Nā reira i tangohia ai ēnei e aua wahine, ā, i whakanohoia ki waenganui o te whare, he ngoikore noa iho hoki rātou.

70 I muri i ēnei ka tirotirohia e ia te hunga i kitea he hawhe mā, he hawhe mangu; ā, he tokomaha o rātou kua mangu; i whakahaua anō hoki e ia kia whakatakotoria ēnei ki roto i te hunga i maka atu.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

71 Ko ētahi atu i kitea he mā katoa; i tangohia ēnei e ngā wāhine, ā, i whakanohoia ki roto i te pourewa kotahi: ā, i whakanohoia ēnei ki waho, nā te mea i kitea he tino ora rātou; kia taea ai e rātou te pupuri i te hunga i whakanohoia ki waenganui, kia kore ai he mea i tapahia i a rātou.

72 Muri iho ka titiro ia ki ngā mea i pakeke, i koi; engari he iti noa iho i whakamahia, nā te mea kāore i taea te tapahi, he tino pakeke hoki: engari ko ētahi i hangaia, ā, i whakaurua e ngā kōtiro ki waenganui o te whare, nā te mea he ngoikore ake.

73 Kātahi ia ka whakaaro ki te hunga he iraira ō rātou; he pango ētahi o ēnei, ā, ka haria ēnei ki ō rātou hoa. Ko ētahi atu he mā, he katoa; ā, nā ngā wāhine i whakauru ki roto i te whare, ā, i whakanohoia ki waho, nā te kaha o aua iraira.

74 I muri iho i tēnei ka whakaaro ia ki aua kōhatu he mā, he porowhita: ā ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Me aha tātou ki ēnei kōhatu? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, kāre au i te mōhio.

75 Ka mea ia, Kāore ianei koe e whakaaro ki tētahi mea mō ēnei mea? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, kāore au i te mārama ki tēnei mahi; ehara hoki ahau i te kaitārai kōhatu, kāore hoki au e mōhio ki tētahi mea.

76 Ā, ka mea ia, Kāore koe e kite he porowhita rawa ēnei?

Nā, kia tapawhā ai, me tapahi e ahau tētahi wāhanga nui i a rātou; heoi anō, me whakauru ētahi o ēnei ki te hanganga o te pourewa.

77 Ka whakahoki ahau; Ki te mea e tika ana, he aha koe i whakapoauau ai i a koe anō, ā, te whiriwhiri, mēnā he kōwhiringa tāu i roto i a rātou, ka whakauru i a rātou ki roto i te whare.

78 Nō reira, i whiriwhiria e ia ngā mea nunui rawa, ngā mea kanapa rawa, ā, i tapahia tapawhātia; nō te otinga o tēnā, ka tangohia ake e ngā kōtiro, ka whakatakotoria ki waho o te whare.

79 Ā, ko ngā toenga i toe i haria ki te mara i tangohia mai ai rātou; heoi, kāore i maka atu; nā te mea, e ai ki tāna, kāore anō kia iti te hapa o tēnei pourewa, ka hangaia nei; ā, tera pea ka whakaurua ēnei kōhatu e te Ariki ki roto i tēnei whare, nā te mea he tino mā rawa.

80 Kātahi ka karangatia he tekau mā rua ngā wāhine rangatira, he kākahu pango ō rātou, he whitiki, he kore he pokohiwi, he mahorahora hoki ō rātou makawe. Ki ahau nei, he rite ēnei ki ngā wāhine whenua.

81 Ā, ka whakahau te hepara i a rātou kia tangohia ake aua kōhatu i maka ki waho o te whare, ka haria ki ngā maunga i tangohia mai ai.

82 Ā, ka hari rātou ki te hapai i a rātou katoa, ka whakahokia ki ō rātou wāhi i tangohia mai ai rātou.

83 I te korenga o tētahi kōhatu i toe i te pourewa, ka mea ia ki ahau, Me haere tāua i tēnei pourewa, kia kite mēnā he mea kei roto.

84 Nō reira ka tīmata mātou ki te haereere i te taha; ā, i tōna kitenga i tōna hanganga ataahua, ka tino harikoa ia; he tino ataahua hoki te hanganga, ā, ko te hunga katoa i kite i taua mea, me aroha ki te whare: 85 I te mea he kōhatu kotahi anake te āhua, kāore hoki he hononga i puta mai; engari me te mea he mea tapahi katoa i te kōhatu kotahi.

86 ¶ Ā, i taku whakaaroaro nui ki te āhua o te pourewa, ka tino harikoa ahau: ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Kawea mai he raima me ētahi anga iti, kia whakakīia ai e au ngā āputa o aua kōhatu i tangohia mai i te whare, ā, ka whakahokia anō

ki roto; me hanga hoki ngā mea katoa e karapoti ana i te pourewa kia ōrite.

87 Ā, i meatia e ahau tāna i whakahau mai ai ki ahau, ā, i mea mai ia ki ahau, Kia rite koe ki te āwhina i ahau, ā, ka hohoro te oti o tēnei mahi.

88 Nā reira i whakakīia e ia ngā āputa o aua kōhatu, ā, i whakahaua kia horoia te wāhi i te taha o te pourewa.

89 Kātahi ka mau aua wahine ki ngā puruma, ā, ka horoia te wāhi katoa, ka tangohia atu ngā paru katoa, ka ringihia he wai ki runga; ā, nō te otinga o tēnā, ka ataahua te wāhi, ā, ka tino ataahua te pourewa.

90 Kātahi ia ka mea mai ki ahau, Kua ma katoa ināianei: ki te haere mai te Ariki ki te whakaoti i te pourewa, e kore ia e kite i tetahi mea hei amuamu mā tātou.

91 Nō tana kōrerotanga i tēnei, ka mea ia kia haere. Engari ka hopukia e ahau tana putea, ka anga ka inoi ki a ia mō te Ariki, kia whakamārama mai ia ki ahau i ngā mea katoa i whakakitea mai e ia ki ahau.

92 I mea mai ia ki ahau, He iti nei taku mahi i tēnei wā; engari ka whakamārama wawe ahau i ngā mea katoa ki a koe. Taria mai ki konei kia tae mai rā anō ahau.

93 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, me aha ahau i konei ko au anake? Ka whakahoki ia, Ehara i te mea ko koe anake, i te mea kei a koe ēnei wahine katoa.

94 Ka mea ahau, E te Ariki, tukua ahau ki a rātou. Kātahi ka karanga ia i a rātou, ka mea ki a rātou, Ka tukua atu e ahau tēnei tangata ki a koutou kia tae mai rā anō ahau.

95 Nō reira i noho ai ahau ki aua wahine: ināianei he harikoa, he atawhai hoki rātou ki ahau; inā koa ko te tokowhā, te āhua nei ko rātou te tino rangatira o rātou.

96 ¶ Kātahi ka mea mai aua wahine ki ahau, E kore taua hepara e hoki mai ki konei i tēnei rā. Ka mea atu ahau ki a rātou, Me aha ahau? Ka mea rātou, Taria ia kia ahiahi rā anō, me haere mai pea ia ki te kōrero ki a koe; ki te kore, me noho tonu koe ki a mātou kia mate rā anō ia.

97 I mea atu ahau ki a rātou, Ka tatari ahau ki a ia tae noa ki te ahiahi; ki te kore ia e tae mai i taua wā, ka hoki ahau ki te kāinga, ā, ka hoki mai anō ahau ki konei i te ata e whai ake nei.

98 Ka whakahoki mai rātou ki ahau, Kua tukua mai koe ki a mātou, e kore koe e ahei te whakarere i a mātou. Ka mea atu ahau, Kei hea ahau e noho ai?

99 Ka whakahoki rātou, Me moe koe ki a mātou hei teina, kaua hei tāne: ko koe hoki tō mātou teina, ā, kua rite mātou ki te noho ki a koe i tēnei wā tonu; he tino aroha hoki koe ki a mātou.

100 Heoi i whakama ahau ki te noho tahi me rātou. Engari ko ia te mea i whakaarohia ko ia te tino rangatira o rātou, i awhi mai i ahau, ā, ka tīmata ki te kihi i ahau. Ā, i te kitenga o ētahi atu kua kihihia ahau e ia, ka tīmata hoki rātou ki te kihi i ahau, pērā i te tuakana; ā, ka ārahi i ahau i te pourewa, ka takaro ki ahau.

101 I waiatatia hoki e ētahi o rātou ngā himene, ko ētahi i tito tahi i te kōrero. Engari i haere tahi māua i te pourewa, me te harikoa puku, me te mea kua taitamariki anō ahau.

102 I te taenga mai o te ahiahi, ka hiahia ahau kia hoki ki te kāinga, engari i puritia ahau e rātou, kāore hoki i tukua kia haere. Nō reira i noho tahi ai ahau me rātou i taua pō i te taha o taua pourewa anō.

103 Nā, ka wharikitia e rātou ō rātou kākahu rinena ki runga ki te whenua; ā, ka whakatūria ahau ki waenganui, kāore he mea i mahia e rātou, ko tā rātou anake i inoi.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

104 I inoi tahi anō ahau me rātou, kāore i mutu, kāore hoki i iti iho i a rātou. I tō rātou kitenga i ahau e inoi ana i taua ara, nui atu tō rātou hari; ā, i noho tahi ahau me rātou ki reira tae noa ki te aonga ake.

105 Ā, i te mutunga o tā mātou karakia ki te Atua, ka haere mai te hepara, ka mea ki a rātou: Kāore koutou i mahi kino ki tēnei tangata. Ka whakahoki rātou, Pātai atu ki a ia. Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, kua nui te harikoa i riro mai i ahau mō te noho tahi me rātou.

106 Ā, ka mea ia ki ahau, Kei te pēhea koe? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, i kai ahau i te pō katoa i ngā kupu a te Ariki. I manaaki pai rātou i a koe i reira, ka mea ia; ka mea ahau, E te Ariki, tino pai.

107 Ka whakahoki ia, "Kei te hiahia koe ki te ako i tāu i hiahia ai?" Ka whakahoki ahau, "E te Ariki, ka hiahia ahau: ā, ko te tuatahi ka inoi atu ahau kia whakakitea mai e koe ki ahau ngā mea katoa i runga i te raupapa i pātai atu ai ahau."

108 Ka whakahoki ia, Ka meatia e ahau ngā mea katoa e pai ai koe, e kore hoki e huna e ahau tetahi mea i a koe.

109 ¶ Tuatahi, e te Ariki, ka mea atu ahau, korerotia mai ki ahau, he aha te tikanga o tēnei toka, me tēnei kūaha?

Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia; ko tēnei toka, me tēnei kūaha, ko te Tama a te Atua. Ka whakahoki atu ahau, E te Ariki, me pēhea rā? i te mea he tawhito te toka, engari he hou te kūaha.

110 Whakarongo mai, e te tangata kuware! kia mārama hoki. He pono, ko te Tama a te Atua he mea tawhito rawa atu i tetahi atu mea hanga; nō reira i noho tahi ia me tōna Matua i te hanganga o ngā mea katoa.

111 Nō reira, he mea hou te kuwaha, nā te mea i puta mai ia i ngā rā whakamutunga i te mutunga o te wā; kia taea ai e te hunga e whiwhi ki te whakaoranga te tomo ki roto i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

112 Kua kite koutou, e ai ki tāna, i aua kōhatu i haria mā roto i te kūaha, i te whakatakotoranga o aua kōhatu ki te hanganga o te pourewa; engari ko ērā kāore i haria mā roto i te kūaha, i tukuna atu ki ō rātou ake wāhi?

113 Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, i kite ahau. Koia nei, e ai ki tāna, e kore tetahi e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, engari ko ia e tango i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua ki runga ki a ia.

114 Mehemea hoki ka tomo koe ki tētahi tāone, ā, ka karapotia taua tāone e te taiepa, ā, kotahi anake te kūaha, e kore ianei koe e tomo ki taua tāone ki te kore e mā taua kūaha?

115 Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, me pēhea rā ahau e mahi ai i tētahi atu huarahi? Nō reira, e ai ki tāna, kāore he ara kē atu hei tomo atu ki taua pā engari mā tōna kūaha anake, nō reira, e kore tetahi e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, engari mā te ingoa anake o tana Tama, ko ia nei te mea e arohaina nuitia ana e ia.

116 Ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, I kite koe i te mano tini o te hunga i hanga i taua pourewa? E te Ariki, ka mea ahau, i kite ahau. Ka whakahoki ia, Ko ngā anahera katoa ēnei, he hunga honore i roto i ō rātou mana.

117 Kua karapotia rātou e te Ariki, me te mea he taiepa: ko te Tama ia a te Atua te kūaha, ko ia anake te ara e haere atu ai ki te Atua. E kore hoki tetahi tangata e haere ki te Atua, ki te kore e haere mā tana Tama.

118 I kite anō koe, e ai ki tāna, i ngā tāngata tokoono, me te tangata rangatira i waenganui i a rātou, i haereere noa i te pourewa, i maka atu hoki i ngā kōhatu o te pourewa?

119 E te Ariki, ka mea ahau, i kite ahau i a rātou. Ka whakahoki ia, ko taua tangata roa ko te Tama a te Atua: ā, ko aua tokoono āna anahera rangatira rawa atu, e tū ana i tōna taha matau, i tōna taha maui hoki.

120 Kāore tetahi o ēnei anahera tino pai e haere ki te Atua, ki te kore ia e haere. I kī atu ia, Nō reira, ko te tangata e kore e tango i tōna ingoa ki runga ki a ia, e kore ia e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

121 ¶ Kātahi ahau ka mea, He aha tēnei pourewa? Ko tēnei, e ai ki tāna, ko te hāhi. Ā, he aha, e te Ariki, ēnei wahine?

Ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko ngā wairua tapu ēnei, e kore hoki te tangata e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te kore ēnei e whakakakahu i a ia ki ō rātou kākahu.

122 Kāore hoki he painga mōu ki te tango i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua, ki te kore koe e tango i ō rātou kākahu i a rātou. Ko ēnei wahine tapu hoki ngā mana o te Tama a te Atua. Waihoki ka mau noa te tangata i tōna ingoa, ki te kore ia e whakawhiwhia ki ōna mana.

123 Ā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, I kite koe i aua kōhatu i maka atu? I mau tonu te ingoa i a rātou, engari kāore i mau i ō rātou kākahu. Ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, he aha ō rātou kākahu? Ko ō rātou ingoa tonu, ka mea ia, ko ō rātou kākahu.

124 Nō reira, ko te tangata e mau ana i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua, me mau anō hoki ōna ingoa; ko te Tama hoki a te Atua e mau ana i ōna ingoa.

125 Ko aua kōhatu, i mea atu ia, nā ō rātou ringa i tuku mai, i kite koe e toe ana i roto i te whare, he mea whakakakahu ki ō rātou mana; nā reira ka kite koe i te pourewa katoa he rite te tae ki te kōhatu, ā, he mea hanga ki te kōhatu kotahi.

126 Waihoki ko te hunga kua whakapono ki te Atua mā roto i tana Tama, kua kakahuria e rātou tōna wairua. Nana, kotahi te wairua, kotahi te tinana, kotahi te tae o ō rātou kākahu; ā, ko rātou katoa e mau ana i ngā ingoa o ēnei wahine, ka whiwhi i tēnei.

127 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, he aha rā i maka atu ai aua kōhatu i whakakahoretia, i te mea i haria mai hoki mā te kūaha, ā, i tukuna mai e ngā ringa o ēnei wahine ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa?

128 Nā te mea, e mea ana ia, e tino rapu ana koe i ngā mea katoa, whakarongo hoki ki aua kōhatu i whakakahoretia. I whiwhi katoa ēnei i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua, me te mana o ēnei wahine.

129 Nō reira, i te whiwhinga i ēnei wairua, ka tino tika rātou, ka whakaurua ki roto ki te tokomaha o ngā pononga a te Atua; ā, ka tīmata rātou te noho hei tinana kotahi, kotahi te kākahu, nā te mea i whakawhiwhia rātou ki te tika kotahi i whakamahia e rātou katoa.

130 Engari i muri i tēnā ka mau rātou ki aua wāhine i kite koe he kākahu mangu te kakahu, he takoto noa ō rātou pakihiwi, he mahorahora ō rātou makawe; i u tonu ō rātou hiahia ki a rātou, i whakamatautauria e tō rātou ataahua; ā, i whakakakahuria ki tō rātou mana, ā, i whakarērea e rātou ngā kākahu o ngā wāhine: 131 Nō reira i peia atu ai rātou i te whare o te Atua, ā, i tukua ki aua wāhine. Ko te hunga ia kāore i poke i tō rātou ataahua, i noho tonu ki te whare o te Atua. Koinei, e ai ki tāna, te tikanga o aua kōhatu i whakakahoretia.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

132 ¶ Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, mehemea ka ripeneta tetahi o ēnei tāne, ka whakarērea te hiahia o aua wāhine, ka tahuri, ka hoki ki ēnei wahine, ka kakahuria anō ō rātou ngākau pono; kaua ianei rātou e tomo ki te whare o te Atua?

133 Ka tomo rātou, e ai ki tāna, ki te whakarērea e rātou ngā mahi katoa a aua wāhine, ā, ka whakahokia mai te mana o ēnei wahine, ā, ka haere i roto i ā rātou mahi.

134 Nā konei i aukatia ai te whare, kia taea ai te tāpiri atu ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa ki a rātou, ki te kore rātou e ripeneta; engari ki te kore rātou e ripeneta, kia hangaia ētahi atu ki ō rātou wāhi, kia tino peia atu ai rātou.

135 Mō ēnei mea katoa i whakawhetai ahau ki te Ariki, nā te mea i uhotia e te aroha ki te hunga katoa e karangatia ana tōna ingoa, i tonoa mai e ia ki a tātou te anahera o te ripeneta hei ārahi i a tātou kua hara ki a ia; ā, kua whakahauora ia i ō tātou wairua kua tata ngaro, kāore hoki i te tumanako ki te whakaoranga, engari kua whakahauoratia inaianei ki te whakahoutanga o te ora.

136 Kātahi ahau ka mea atu, E te Ariki, he aha i kore ai tēnei pourewa e hangaia ki runga i te whenua, engari ki runga i te toka, ki runga hoki i te kūaha? Ka whakahoki ia, he kuware koe, he kore matauranga, koia koe i pātai ai i tēnei.

137 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, me pātai atu e ahau ngā mea katoa ki a koe, nā te mea kāore rawa aku e mārama ki tetahi mea. He rawe, he tino pai hoki āu whakautu katoa; ā, e kore e taea e te tangata te mārama.

138 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia: He ingoa nui te Tama a te Atua, kāore he rohe, ā, e tautokona ana te ao katoa e ia. Nō reira, ka mea ahau, mehemea ka tautokona ngā mea hanga katoa a te Atua e tana Tama, he aha ia e kore ai e tautoko i te hunga kua karangatia e ia, e mau ana i tōna ingoa, e haere ana i roto i āna ture?

139 Kāore koe e kite, e ai ki tāna, e tautoko ana ia i a rātou, e mau nei i tōna ingoa me ō rātou ngākau katoa? Nō reira, ko ia tō rātou turanga, ā, e koa ana ki te tautoko i te hunga e kore e whakakahore i tōna ingoa, engari e mau ana i tōna ngākau.

140 ¶ Na ka mea atu ahau: E te Ariki, korerotia mai ki ahau nga ingoa o enei wahine marena hou; me aua wahine i whakakakahuria ki te kakahu mangu.

141 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia, ki ngā ingoa o aua wahine rangatira, e tū ana i ngā kokonga o te kūaha. Ko ō rātou ingoa ēnei: 142 Ko te tuatahi e kiia ana ko te Whakapono; ko te tuarua ko te Manawanui; ko te tuatoru ko te Manawanui; ko te tuawhā ko te Manawanui; ko ngā toenga e tū ana i raro iho i ēnei ko te Ngāwari, te Harakore, te Parakore, te Ngākau Harikoa, te Pono, te Māramatanga, te Whakāro, te Aroha.

143 Nō reira, ko te tangata e mau ana i ēnei ingoa, me ngā ingoa hoki o te Tama a te Atua, ka tomo ia ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

144 Whakarongo mai, e ai ki tāna, ki ngā ingoa o aua wāhine, i whakakakahuria ki te kākahu mangu. E whā o ēnei ngā mea matua: ko te tuatahi ko te tinihanga; ko te tuarua ko te kore e taea te pupuri i te hiahia; ko te tuatoru ko te kore e taea te pupuri i te hiahia; ko te tuawhā ko te ahuareka.

145 Ā, ko ērā atu e whai ake nei ka huaina pēnei, ko te Pōuri, ko te Kino, ko te Hiahia, ko te Riri, ko te Kōrero teka, ko te Wairangi, ko te Whakapehapeha, me te Mauahara. Ko te pononga a te Atua, e mau nei i ēnei

wairua, ka kite pono i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, engari e kore ia e tomo ki roto.

146 Engari, e te Ariki, he aha aua kōhatu i tangohia mai i te hohonu, ā, i whakaurua ki roto i te whare? Ko ngā tekau, e ai ki tāna, i whakatakotoria ki te turanga, ko te wā tuatahi; ko ngā tau rua tekau mā rima e whai ake nei, ko te tuarua, o ngā tāngata tika.

147 Ko ngā tokotoru tekau mā rima e whai ake nei, ko ngā poropiti me ngā minita a te Ariki. Ā, ko ngā whā tekau, ko ngā Apotoro me ngā kaiwhakaako o te kauwhau a te Tama a te Atua.

148 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, he aha i whakatakotoria ai aua kōhatu e ngā wāhine ki roto i te whare i muri i te haringa mā roto i te kūaha? Ā, ka mea ia, Nā te mea ko ēnei i kawe tuatahi i aua wairua, ā, kāore i wehea e rātou tetahi i tetahi, ehara i te tangata i ngā wairua, ehara hoki i te tangata i ngā wairua: 149 Engari i honoa ngā wairua ki aua tāngata tae noa ki te rā i mate ai rātou; me i kore ēnei wairua i a rātou, e kore rātou e whai hua ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa.

150 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, whakaaturia mai tēnei ki ahau. Ka whakahoki ia, He aha tāu e pātai nei? He aha i puta mai ai ēnei kōhatu i te hohonu, i whakatakotoria ai ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa, i te mea kua roa nei e mau ana i aua wairua tapu.

151 I mea ia, he mea tika kia piki rātou i te wai, kia okioki ai rātou. E kore hoki e taea e rātou te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, engari mā te whakarērea o te mate o tō rātou oranga o mua.

152 Nō reira, ahakoa kua mate rātou, i hiritia rātou ki te hiri o te Tama a te Atua, ā, nō reira ka tomo rātou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

153 Nō te mea, i mua i te whiwhinga a te tangata i te ingoa o te Tamaiti a te Atua, kua whakaritea ia ki te mate; engari i te wā e whiwhi ai ia i taua hiri, kua wetekina ia i te mate, ā, kua whakaritea ki te ora.

154 Ināianei, ko taua hiri ko te wai o te iriiringa, e tomo ai te tangata ki roto i te herenga ki te mate, engari ka ara ake kua whakaritea ki te ora.

155 Nā reira hoki i kauwhautia ai tēnei hiri ki a rātou, ā, i whakamahia e rātou, kia tomo ai rātou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

156 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, He aha rā, e te rangatira, i piki tahi mai ai ēnei kōhatu e whā tekau i te hohonu, kua whiwhi kē i taua hiri?

157 Ka whakahoki ia, Nā te mea ko ēnei Apotoro me ngā kaiako, i kauwhau i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua, i te matenga i muri i te whiwhinga i tōna whakapono me tōna mana, i kauwhau ki te hunga kua mate i mua; ā, i hoatu e rātou tēnei hiri ki a rātou.

158 Nō reira, i heke tahi rātou ki te wai, ā, i piki ake anō.

Engari i heke iho ēnei i a rātou e ora ana, ā, i piki ora ake anō: ko te hunga ia i mate i mua, i heke mate, engari i piki ora ake; 159 Nā ēnei i whiwhi ai rātou i te ora, i mōhio hoki ki te Tama a te Atua: nā reira i haere tahi mai ai rātou me rātou, ā, i tika ai kia tomo ki te hanganga o te pourewa; ā, kāore i tapahia, engari i maka katoatia; nā te mea i mate rātou i roto i te tika, i te parakore nui; ko tēnei hiri anake i ngaro i a rātou.

160 Nō reira, kei a koe te whakamārama mō ēnei mea.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

161 ¶ Ka whakahoki ahau: E te Ariki, korerotia mai ki ahau inaianei he aha te take o aua maunga, he aha i tino rerekē ai; he rerekē te āhua o ētahi, he rerekē te āhua o ētahi.

162 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia; Ko ēnei maunga tekau mā rua e kite nei koe, ko ngā iwi tekau mā rua ia, e hanga nei i te ao katoa. Nō reira, ka kauwhautia te Tama a te Atua ki a rātou, e te hunga i tonoa mai e ia ki a rātou.

163 Engari he aha, i mea atu ahau, he rerekē rātou, he āhua kotahi hoki? Ka whakahoki ia, Whakarongo mai. Ko aua iwi tekau mā rua e pupuri ana i te ao katoa, tekau mā rua ngā tāngata.

164 Ā, i tō kitenga i ēnei maunga rerekē, pērā anō hoki rātou. Nō reira, ka whakakitea e ahau ki a koe te tikanga me ngā mahi o ia maunga.

165 Engari tuatahi, e te rangatira, ka mea atu ahau, whakaaturia mai tēnei ki ahau; Nā te mea he rerekē rawa ēnei maunga, me pēhea rātou i whakaae ai ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa; ā, i kotahi ai te tae; ā, kāore i iti iho te kanapa i ērā i puta mai i te hohonu?

166 Nā te mea, ko tāna whakautu, kua rongo, kua whakapono hoki ngā iwi katoa o raro i te rangi ki te ingoa kotahi o te Tama a te Atua, e karangatia nei rātou.

167 Nō reira, i te whiwhinga i tana hiri, kua uru katoa rātou ki te māramatanga kotahi me te mātauranga kotahi; ā, he rite tonu tō rātou whakapono me tō rātou aroha; ā, kua haria ngātahitia e rātou ngā wairua o ēnei wahine me tōna ingoa.

168 Nā reira i rite te tae o te hanganga o tēnei pourewa ki te mea kotahi, ā, i tiaho mai pērā i te kanapa o te rā.

169 I muri i tā rātou whakaae tahi i roto i te hinengaro kotahi, ka tīmata te noho kotahi o rātou katoa; heoi, ko ētahi o rātou i whakapoke i a rātou anō, ā, i peia atu i te hunga tika, ā, ka hoki anō ki tō rātou āhua o mua, ā, ka kino rawa atu i tō rātou āhua o mua.

170 ¶ Me pēhea rā, e te rangatira, i kino atu ai te hunga i mōhio ki te Ariki? Ka whakahoki ia: Ki te mea ko te tangata kāore e mōhio ki te Ariki e noho kino ana, ka pā te whiu mō tōna kino ki a ia.

171 Ko te tangata ia kua matau ki te Ariki, kia mawehe rawa ia i nga mahi kino katoa, kia nui atu ano tona noho hei pononga mo te tika.

172 Ā, ki tāu titiro, kāore ianei te tangata e tika ana kia whai i te pai, mehemea ka pai ake ia ki te wāhanga o te hara, he nui ake tōna hara i te tangata e hara ana, kāore e mōhio ki te mana o te Atua?

173 Nō reira, kua whakaritea ēnei mō te mate; engari ko te hunga kua mōhio ki te Ariki, kua kite i āna mahi whakamiharo, ki te noho kino rātou, ka rua ngā whiunga mō rātou, ā, ka mate ake ake.

174 Nō reira, i kite koe i muri i te makanga o ngā kōhatu i waho o te pourewa, i whakakahoretia nei; i tukua atu rātou ki ngā wairua kino, nanakia; ā, i kite koe i te pourewa kua horoia rawatia, me te mea he kōhatu kotahi te mea i hangaia katoatia: 175 Nō reira, ko te hāhi o te Atua, ina purea: (ko te hunga kino me te hunga tinihanga, ko te hunga whanoke me te hunga ruarua, me te hunga katoa kua mahi kino i roto i taua hāhi, ā, kua mahi i ngā momo hara maha, ka peia atu) ka noho hei tinana kotahi, ā, ka kotahi te māramatanga, te whakaaro kotahi, te whakapono kotahi, me te aroha kotahi.

176 Kātahi ka hari te Tama a te Atua i roto i a rātou, ā, ka manaaki i tana iwi me te ngākau mā.

177 Ā, ka mea atu ahau; E te Ariki, he mea nui, he mea honore ēnei mea katoa; engari whakakitea mai ki ahau te pānga me te kaha o ia maunga: kia whakahonoretia ai e ngā wairua katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowā, ina rongo i ēnei mea, tōna ingoa nui, whakamiharo, tapu hoki.

178 Whakarongo mai, e ai ki tāna, ki te momo o ēnei maunga, arā, o ngā iwi tekau mā rua.

179 ¶ Ko te hunga i whakapono ki te maunga tuatahi, arā, ki te mangu, ko rātou te hunga i whakakeke i te whakapono; ā, i kōrero kino ki te Ariki; ā, i tinihanga i ngā pononga a te Atua.

180 Kua whakataua ēnei ki te mate, kāore he ripeneta mō rātou: nō reira he mangu rātou, nā te mea he kino tō rātou momo.

181 Ko te tuarua o ngā maunga maeneene, ko te hunga tinihanga, kua whakapono, me ngā kaiwhakaako o te kino: ko ēnei te hunga e tata ana ki ēnei, kāore nei i a rātou te hua o te tika.

182 I te mea he pakoko, he kore hua tō rātou maunga; waihoki ko ēnei momo tāngata he Karaitiana te ingoa, engari kāore he whakapono; kāore hoki he hua o te pono i roto i a rātou.

183 Ahakoa rā, kei reira tonu te wāhi mō rātou ki te ripeneta, ki te whaia ohoreretia e rātou: engari ki te whakaroa rātou, ka uru atu hoki rātou ki te mate me te hunga kua whakahuatia ake nei.

184 Ka mea atu ahau, E te Ariki, he aha te wāhi e toe ana mō te hunga ripeneta, kāore mō te hunga kua whakahuatia ake nei, i te mea he tata rite tonu ā rātou hara?

185 Nō reira, e ai ki tāna ki ēnei, ka hoki rātou ki te ora mā te ripeneta, nā te mea kāore rātou i kohukohu ki tō rātou Ariki, kāore hoki i tinihanga i ngā pononga a te Atua: engari nā tō rātou hiahia ki te taonga i maminga ai te tangata, e ārahi ana i a rātou kia rite ki ngā hiahia o te hunga hara; nō reira ka mamae rātou mō tēnei mea.

186 Heoi anō, kei te toe tonu he wāhi mō rātou ki te ripeneta, nā te mea kāore rātou i kōrero kino ki a Ihowa.

187 ¶ Ko te hunga o te maunga tuatoru, he tataramoa, he tumatakuru, ko rātou te hunga i whakapono, engari ko ētahi o rātou he whai rawa, ko ētahi i uru ki ngā mahi maha: ko ngā tataramoa ō rātou taonga: ko ngā tataramoa, ko aua mahi i uru ai rātou.

188 Nā, ko te hunga e raru ana i ngā mahi maha, i ngā mahi rerekē, kāore e uru ki ngā pononga a te Atua, engari e kotiti ke ana, e karangatia ana kia mawehe atu i aua mahi e whakakōkī ana i a rātou.

189 Nō reira, ko te hunga whai rawa, ka whakauaua ki te whakarongo ki ngā kōrero a ngā pononga a te Atua, me te wehi kei tonoa tetahi mea i a rātou. Nō reira, e whakauaua ana ēnei ki te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

190 E rite ana hoki ki te hunga e haereere ana me te kore e tahanga ō rātou waewae i runga i ngā tataramoa, pērā anō te hunga e kore e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

191 Ahakoa rā, e tika ana kia hoki katoa ēnei ki te ripeneta; mehemea ka hohoro rātou te hoki ki taua ripeneta; nā te mea i wareware rātou ki te mahi i ō rātou rā o mua, ā, i te wā e haere ake nei ka taea e rātou te mahi i tetahi mea pai.

192 Nā, ki te mea kua ripeneta rātou, ā, ka mahi i ngā mahi tika, ka ora rātou; engari ki te mea ka mau tonu rātou ki ā rātou ara kino, ka tukua rātou ki aua wāhine, mā rātou rātou e tango.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

193 ¶ Mō te tuawhā o ngā maunga, he maha ngā otaota i reira, he kakariki te taha o runga, engari he maroke ngā pakiaka, ā, ko ētahi o aua mea kua pāngia e te wera o te rā kua maroke; 194 E tohu ana tēnei i te hunga ruarua, kua whakapono, me ētahi atu e mau ana i te Ariki i roto i ō rātou arero, engari kāore ia i roto i ō rātou ngākau: nō reira kua maroke tō rātou tarutaru, kāore he pakiaka; nā te mea ko ngā kupu anake e ora ai rātou, engari ko ā rātou mahi he mate.

195 Nō reira, ehara ēnei i te mea mate, ehara hoki i te mea ora, ā, he ruarua anō hoki. Nā te mea ko ngā mea ruarua ehara i te mea kakariki, ehara hoki i te mea maroke; arā, ehara i te mea mate, ehara hoki i te mea ora.

196 Ka rite ki te otaota e maroke ana i te kitenga i te rā; waihoki ko te hunga ruarua i te rongonga i te whakatoi, i te wehi i ngā raruraru, ka hoki ki ā rātou whakapakoko, ka mahi anō ki a rātou, ā, ka whakama ki te mau i te ingoa o tō rātou Ariki.

197 Kāore tēnei momo tangata i mate, kāore hoki i ora; ahakoa rā, ka ora anō ēnei, ki te mea ka ripeneta wawe tonu rātou; ki te kore, ka tukua rātou ki aua wāhine, mā rātou rātou e tango i ō rātou ora.

198 ¶ Mō te tuarima o ngā maunga he paripari, engari he tarutaru matomato: ko rātou tēnei momo kua whakapono, ā, he pono, engari he uaua ki te whakapono; ā, he maia, he whakakake; e kiia ana e mōhio ana ki ngā mea katoa, engari kāore rawa e mōhio.

199 Nā reira, nā tēnei whakapono, kua riro atu i a rātou te mātauranga; ā, kua uru mai te whakaaro pōhewa ki roto i a rātou.

200 Heoi e whakapehapeha ana rātou, e rite ana ki te hunga mātau; ahakoa he kuware rātou, e āhua rite ana ki te kaiako.

201 Nā tēnei wairangi, he tokomaha o rātou, i a rātou e whakanui ana i a rātou anō, ka noho whakahihi, ka kore noa iho. He wairua kino rawa hoki te maia me te whakawhirinaki whakahihi.

202 Nō reira, he tokomaha o ēnei kua maka atu; engari ko ētahi kua whakaae ki tō rātou hē, kua ripeneta, ā, kua tuku i a rātou anō ki te hunga e mōhio ana.

203 Ā, e whakaaetia ana te ripeneta ki ērā atu katoa o tēnei momo; nā te mea ehara rātou i te hunga kino engari i te hunga kuware, i te hunga kore mātauranga.

204 Ki te ripeneta ēnei, ka ora rātou ki te Atua; ki te kore ia, ka noho tahi rātou me aua wāhine, ā, mā rātou e whakamahi ā rātou mahi kino ki a rātou.

205 ¶ Mō te mea e pā ana ki te maunga tuaono he nui ake, he iti iho ngā kapiti, ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono; engari ko te hunga i roto i aua kapiti iti ko rātou kua tautohetohe i waenganui i a rātou anō; ā, nā ā rātou tautohetohe ka ngoikore te whakapono; 206 Ahakoa rā, he tokomaha o ēnei kua ripeneta, ā, ka ripeneta anō hoki te toenga ina rongo rātou i aku whakahau; he iti noa iho hoki ā rātou tautohetohe, ā, ka ngāwari noa iho rātou te hoki ki te ripeneta.

207 Engari ko te hunga he nui ake ngā kapiti, ka rite ki ngā kōhatu maro, e mahara ana ki ngā mauahara me ngā hara, ā, ki tonu i te riri i waenganui i a rātou anō. Nō reira, ka makaia ēnei i te pourewa, ā, ka whakakahoretia kia whakanohoia ki roto i tōna whare; nā te mea e kore e ora tēnei momo tangata.

208 Ko tō tātou Atua, ko te Ariki, e whakahaere ana i ngā mea katoa, e whai mana ana hoki ki ana mea hanga katoa, e

kore e mahara ki ā tātou hara, engari ka ngāwari te whakamarie i a ia e te hunga e whaki ana i ō rātou hara: engari ko te tangata, he ngoikore, he mate, he ngoikore, he kī tonu i te hara, ka tohe tonu ia ki te tangata; me te mea kei roto i a ia te mana ki te whakaora, ki te whakangaro rānei i a ia.

209 Ko ahau ia, hei anahera kua whakaritea mō tō koutou ripeneta, e whakatūpato ana ahau ki a koutou, ko te tangata i roto i a koutou he whakaaro pēnei, me whakarērea e ia, ka hoki ki te ripeneta; ā, mā te Ariki e whakaora ō koutou hara o mua, ki te mea ka horoia koutou i tēnei wairua kino; ki te kore ia koutou e mahi i tēnā, ka tukua koutou ki a ia ki te mate.

210 ¶ Mō te whitu o ngā maunga, he matomato, he puāwai te tarutaru, ā, he pono te maunga katoa; ā, i kai ngā kararehe katoa i te tarutaru o reira, ā, i te nui haere o te kai i te tarutaru, ka nui haere tōna puāwaitanga: 211 Ko rātou te hunga whakapono, ā, he pai tonu, he tika tonu; ā, kāore he rerekētanga i waenganui i a rātou anō, engari i harikoa tonu ki ngā pononga a te Atua, nā te mea kua whakakakahuria te wairua o ēnei wahine; ā, i hihiko tonu ki te whakaatu i te aroha ki ngā tāngata katoa, me te tuku noa i ā rātou mahi ki ngā tāngata katoa, me te kore e whakahē, me te kore e whakaaroaro.

212 Nō reira, i te kitenga o te Ariki i tō rātou ngākau tapatahi me te harakore, kua whakanuia e ia rātou i roto i ngā mahi a ō rātou ringa, kua homai hoki ki a rātou te aroha noa i roto i ā rātou mahi katoa.

213 Ko ahau ia, ko te anahera i whakaritea mō tō ripeneta, ka akiaki atu ahau ki a koe, kia mau tonu te hunga pēnei ki te kaupapa kotahi, kia kore ai e hutia atu ō koutou uri ake ake.

214 Kua whakamatautauria hoki koutou e te Ariki, kua tuhia hoki koutou ki roto ki a tātou; ā, ka noho tahi ō koutou uri katoa me te Tama a te Atua; nā tōna wairua hoki koutou katoa.

215 ¶ Mō te maunga tuawaru, he maha ngā puna wai i reira, i whakamakukuria ai ngā mea hanga katoa a te Atua; ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono ki ngā Apotoro i tonoa e te Ariki ki te ao katoa ki te kauwhau; 216 Ā, ko ētahi o rātou, he kaiako, kua kauwhau, kua whakaako i runga i te pono, ā, kāore i tukua ki ngā hiahia kino, engari kua haere tonu i runga i te tika me te pono.

217 Nō reira, he kōrero ā ēnei i waenganui i ngā anahera.

218 ¶ Anō hoki; mō te maunga tuaiwa, he koraha, kī tonu i ngā nakahi; ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono, engari he maha ngā tohu: 219 Ko ēnei ngā minita e mahi hē ana i tā rātou mahi minita; e tango ana i ngā taonga o ngā pouaru me ngā pani; ā, e mahi ana ki a rātou anō, ehara i te mea mā ētahi atu, i runga i ngā mea kua riro i a rātou.

220 Ki te mau tonu ēnei ki tēnei apo, kua tukua rātou ki te mate, kāore hoki he tumanako mō te ora mō rātou. Engari ki te tahuri rātou, ā, ka mahi pono i tā rātou mahi minita, ka ora rātou.

221 Ko te hunga i kitea he taratara, ko rātou te hunga kua whakakahore ki te ingoa o te Ariki, kāore hoki i hoki mai ki te Ariki, engari kua noho hei tangata nanakia, hei tangata mohoao; kāore i aro ki ngā pononga a te Atua; engari nā te mea kua wehea atu i a rātou, kua ngaro ō rātou ora mō tētahi wā poto.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

222 E rite ana ki te waina kua whakarērea ki roto i te taiepa, kāore i whakapaipaihia, ka ngaro, ka kōwaowaotia e ngā taru, ā, i te mutunga ka noho mohoao, ka mutu te whai hua ki tōna rangatira; waihoki ko tēnei momo tangata e ngākau pouri ana ki a rātou anō, e kawa ana hoki, kua tīmata te kore whai hua ki tō rātou Ariki.

223 Heoi, e whakaaetia ana te ripeneta ki ēnei, ki te kore e kitea i roto i ō rātou ngākau kua whakakahoretia e rātou a te Karaiti; engari ki te kitea tētahi o ēnei kua whakakahoretia e rātou i roto i tōna ngākau, kāre au e mōhio mehemea ka taea e tēnei tangata te eke ki te ora.

224 Nō reira, ko tāku kupu tēnei, ki te mea kua whakakahore tetahi, me hoki ia i ēnei rā ki te ripeneta; e kore hoki e taea e te tangata e whakakahore ana i te Ariki ināianei te whiwhi ki te whakaoranga i muri mai: heoi, e tonoa ana te ripeneta ki te hunga kua whakakahore i mua.

225 Engari ko te tangata e ripeneta ana, me hohoro tana ripeneta, i mua i te otinga o te hanganga o tēnei pourewa: ki te kore ka tukua ia e aua wāhine ki te mate.

226 Ko te hunga kua whara, ko rātou te hunga tinihanga; ā, ko te hunga e whakaranu ana tetahi ki tetahi, ko ēnei ngā nakahi i kite koe e whakaranu ana i taua maunga.

227 E rite ana ki te paitini o ngā nakahi e whakamate ana i te tangata; waihoki ka pangia, ka whakangaromia te tangata e ngā kupu a aua tāngata. Nō reira, ka whara rātou i roto i tō rātou whakapono, nā te momo oranga e ora nei rātou.

228 Heoi, kua ora ētahi o rātou i te ripeneta, ā, ka ora anō hoki ētahi atu o taua momo, ki te ripeneta rātou; engari ki te kore, ka mate rātou i aua wāhine nō rātou te mana me te kaha.

229 ¶ Mō te maunga tekau, i reira ngā rākau e taupokina ana ngā kau, ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono, ā, ko ētahi o rātou he pīhopa, arā, he kāwana o ngā hāhi.

230 Ko ētahi, he kōhatu kāore i tinihangatia, engari i manaaki i ngā pononga a te Atua me te ngākau harikoa.

231 Kātahi ka whakatūria te hunga kua whakaritea hei rangatira mō ngā minitatanga iti iho; ā, kua tiaki i te hunga rawakore me ngā pouaru; ā, kua mau tonu te noho parakore: nō reira ka tiakina hoki rātou e te Ariki.

232 Ko te tangata e mahi ana i tēnei tikanga, ka whakahonoretia ia e te Ariki; ā, kei roto i ngā anahera tōna tūranga, ki te u tonu rātou ki te whakarongo ki te Ariki tae noa ki te mutunga.

233 ¶ Mō te tekau mā tahi o ngā maunga, he maha ngā momo hua i roto i ngā rākau, ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono, kua mamae hoki i te mate, mō te ingoa o te Ariki; ā, kua manawanui me te ngākau hihiko, ā, kua tuku i ō rātou oranga me ō rātou ngākau katoa.

234 Ā, ka mea atu ahau, He aha rā, e te rangatira, i tino hua ai ēnei hua katoa, engari ko ētahi he ataahua ake i ētahi?

235 Whakarongo mai, ka mea ia: Ko te hunga katoa i mamae mō te ingoa o te Ariki, e whakanuia ana rātou e te Ariki; ā, kua murua ō rātou hara katoa, nā te mea kua mamae rātou i te mate mō te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua.

236 Whakarongo mai, he aha i rerekē ai ō rātou hua, ā, ko ētahi o rātou e hira ake ana i ētahi atu, ko te hunga i kawea ki mua i ngā kaiwhakawā, i pātaihia hoki, kāore i whakakahore i te Ariki, engari i manawanui me te ngākau hihiko; he nui ake te honore o ēnei ki te Ariki. Nō reira, ko ngā hua tino ataahua ko ēnei.

237 Ko te hunga ia i mataku, i ruarua, ā, i whakaaroaro ki a rātou anō me whaki, me whakakahore rānei i a te Karaiti, ā,

i mamae tonu; he iti ake ā rātou hua, nā te mea i puta ake tēnei whakaaro ki roto i ō rātou ngākau.

238 He whakaaro kino hoki, he whakaaro kino hoki te pononga ki te whakaaro me whakakahore e ia tōna rangatira. Nō reira, kia tūpato koutou, e te hunga kei a rātou ēnei whakaaro, kei mau tonu tēnei hinengaro i roto i a koutou, ā, ka mate koutou ki te Atua.

239 Ko koutou ia e mate ana mō tōna ingoa, me whakahonore e koutou te Ariki, kua kiia hoki e ia he tika koutou kia mau ki tōna ingoa; ā, kia whakaorangia koutou i ō koutou hara katoa.

240 Ā, he aha rā koutou te whakaaro ai he hari koutou? E whakaaro ana koutou, ki te mamae tetahi o koutou, he mahi nui tāna e mahi ana? Nā te Ariki hoki koutou i whakaora, ā, kāore koutou e mārama. Nā ō koutou hara koutou i pehia; ā, me i kore koutou i mamae mō tōna ingoa, kua mate koutou ki te Ariki, 241 Nō reira, ka kōrero ahau i tēnei ki a koutou e whakaaroaro ana me whaki koutou i a ia, me whakakahore rānei; whaki koutou ko te Ariki hei Atua mō koutou; kei whakakahoretia koutou i tetahi wā, ā, ka tukua ki roto ki ngā herehere.

242 E whiua ana hoki e ngā iwi katoa ā rātou pononga e whakakahore ana ki ō rātou rangatira; he aha tāu e whakaaro ai ka meatia e te Ariki ki a koe, kei a ia nei te mana o ngā mea katoa?

243 Nō reira, tangohia atu i roto i ō koutou ngākau ēnei ruarua, kia ora ai koutou ake ake ki te Atua.

244 Mō te tekau mā rua o ngā maunga, he mā, ko rātou te hunga kua whakapono pērā i ngā tamariki pono, kāore i uru te mauahara ki roto i ō rātou whakaaro, kāore hoki i mōhio he aha te hara, engari kua mau tonu tō rātou ngākau tapatahi.

245 Nō reira, ka whiwhi rawatia te rangatiratanga o te Atua e ēnei momo tāngata; nā te mea kāore anō rātou i whakapoke i ngā ture a te Atua i tetahi mea, engari i mau tonu te pono i roto i taua āhua i ngā rā katoa o ō rātou oranga.

246 Nō reira, ko te tangata e mea ana, e noho tonu ana hei tamariki, kāhore he mauahara; ka nui atu tōna honore i te hunga katoa kua kōrerotia nei e au: nā te mea ka whakahonoretia aua tamariki katoa e te Ariki, ā, ka kiia ko rātou te tuatahi o te katoa.

247 Nō reira, ka hari koutou e whakakorea atu ana te kino katoa i a koutou, e whakakakahu ana hoki i te harakore; ko te tuatahi hoki koutou ka kite i te Ariki.

248 Ā, i muri i tana whakamārama i ngā maunga katoa, ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, whakakitea mai hoki ki ahau te tikanga o ngā kōhatu i tangohia mai i te mania, i whakatakotoria ki roto i te pourewa i te rūma o te hunga i whakakahoretia: 249 Mō ngā kōhatu porowhita i tāpirihia ki te hanganga o te pourewa: me te hunga hoki i haere tonu ki te taha.

250 ¶ Whakarongo mai, e ai ki tāna, mō aua kōhatu i kawea mai i te mania ki te hanganga o te pourewa, ā, i whakatakotoria ki te rūma o te hunga i whakakahoretia; koia ēnei ngā pūtake o taua maunga mā.

251 Nā reira, nā te mea he harakore te hunga i whakapono ki taua maunga; i whakahau te rangatira o tēnei pourewa kia whakanohoia te hunga nō ngā pūtake o tēnei maunga ki roto i te whare.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

252 I mōhio hoki ia mēnā ka whakanohoia rātou ki roto i tēnei whare, ka kanapa tonu rātou; e kore hoki tetahi o rātou e mangu i muri iho.

253 Engari me i tāpirihia e ia tēnei tikanga mai i ngā toenga o ngā maunga, kua tata hiahia anō ia ki te toro atu ki te pourewa me te horoi anō.

254 Nā, ko ēnei kōhatu mā katoa ko ngā taitama kua whakapono, ā, ka whakapono anō rānei; nō te momo kotahi katoa rātou. Ka hari tēnei momo, nā te mea he harakore.

255 Whakarongo mai hoki mō aua kōhatu porowhita, kanapa: nō tēnei maunga mā ēnei katoa. Engari nō reira kua kitea rātou he porowhita, nā te mea kua pōuriuritia rātou e ō rātou taonga i te pono, ā, kua whakakōpiripiritia ō rātou kanohi: 256 Heoi, kāore rātou i whakarērea i te Ariki, kāore hoki he kupu kino i puta mai i ō rātou mangai; engari ko te tika katoa, ko te ngākau pai, ko te pono.

257 Nō reira, i te kitenga o te Ariki i ō rātou whakaaro, kia whakapaipai ai rātou i te pono, ka whakahau ia kia mau tonu rātou ki te pai, kia penapenahia hoki ā rātou taonga: 258 Kāore hoki ia i pai kia tangohia rawatia atu rātou, kia taea ai e rātou te mahi pai ki ngā mea e toe ana, kia ora ai rātou ki te Atua; he momo pai hoki rātou.

259 Nō reira i motuhia ai tētahi wāhi iti i a rātou, ā, nō reira i whakanohoia ai rātou ki te hanganga o tēnei pourewa.

260 ¶ Mō ērā atu i noho tonu i te taha, ā, kāore i kitea he tika mō te hanga i tēnei pourewa, nā te mea kāore anō kia whiwhi i te hiri; i whakahokia rātou ki tō rātou wāhi, nā te mea i kitea he tino taha rātou.

261 Engari me hatepea atu i a rātou tēnei ao o nāianei, me ō rātou taonga whakahihi; kātahi ka tika ai rātou mō te rangatiratanga o te Atua. Me tomo hoki rātou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, nā te mea kua manaakitia tēnei momo harakore e te Atua.

262 Nō reira, e kore tetahi o tēnei momo e taka; ahakoa he hē tetahi o te hunga e whakamatautauria ana e te rewera, ka hohoro ia te hoki ki te Ariki, ki tōna Atua.

263 Ko ahau, te anahera o te ripeneta, e whakaaro ana ahau ki a koutou he hari, te hunga harakore, pērā i ngā tamariki nohinohi, nā te mea he pai, he honore hoki tō koutou wāhi ki te Ariki.

264 Ā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou katoa kua whiwhi i tēnei hiri; kia mau ki te ngākau māhaki, kaua hoki e mahara ki ngā hara i mahia ki a koutou, kaua hoki e mau tonu ki te mauahara, ki te kawa rānei, i roto i te maharatanga ki ngā hara.

265 Engari kia kotahi te wairua, kia rongoā hoki mō ēnei hara kino, kia tangohia atu i a koutou; kia koa ai te rangatira o ngā hipi ki tēnei; ka koa hoki ia, ki te kitea e ia kua ora katoa.

266 Ki te kitea tetahi o ēnei hipi kua marara noa atu, Aue te mate mō ngā hepara; engari ki te marara noa atu ngā hepara; he aha tā rātou e whakahoki ai ki te rangatira o te pā hipi?

E mea rānei rātou i raru rātou i ngā hipi? Engari e kore rātou e whakaponohia.

267 He mea whakamiharo hoki kia mamae te hepara i tana kahui; ā, ka nui rawa te whiu mōna mō tana teka.

268 Ko ahau te hepara; ā, me kōrero rawa atu ahau mōu.

269 ¶ Nō reira, kia tupato i a koutou anō i te mea kei te hangaia te pourewa. E noho ana te Ariki i roto i te hunga e aroha ana ki te rangimārie; e arohaina ana hoki te

rangimārie; engari kei tawhiti atu ia i te hunga totohe, i te hunga e kī ana i te mauahara.

270 Nō reira, whakahokia atu ki a ia te wairua katoa, kia rite ki tāu i whiwhi ai. Ki te hoatu hoki e koe he kākahu hou, he kākahu ora ki te kaihoroi, e tumanako ana koe ka riro mai i a koe te kākahu ora; ki te whakahokia mai e te kaihoroi te mea kua haehaetia ki a koe, ka tangohia rānei e koe?

271 E kore ianei koe e riri wawe tonu; e whakahe ki a ia, e mea ana, I hoatu e ahau toku kakahu ki a koe; he aha koe i haehae ai, i meinga ai kia kore e whai hua ki ahau? Inaianei kua kore he painga ki ahau, na te mea kua haehaea e koe. E kore ianei koe e korero i enei mea katoa ki te kaihoroi kakahu, mo te haehae i mahia e ia ki tou kakahu?

272 Nā, ki te mea ka āwangawanga koe mō tō kākahu, ā, ka amuamu koe kāore i riro katoa mai i a koe; he aha tāu e whakaaro ai ka meatia e te Ariki, nāna nei i homai tōna Wairua ki a koe, ā, kua meinga ia e koe kia kore rawa e whai hua, kia kore ai ia e whai hua ki tōna Ariki? Nā te mea kua pirau ia i a koe, kāore ia e whai hua ki a ia.

273 Nō reira, e kore ianei te Ariki e mahi i taua mea anō mō tōna Wairua, nā runga i tāu mahi? Kāore e kore, e ai ki ahau, ka mahi anō ia i taua mea anō ki te hunga katoa e kitea ana e ia e mau tonu ana ki te mahara ki ngā whara.

274 Kaua e takahia tōna aroha noa; engari me whakahonore ia, he manawanui hoki ia ki ō koutou hara, ehara i te mea pērā i tētahi o koutou; engari ripeneta, he pai hoki tēnā mō koutou.

275 ¶ Ko ēnei mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi i runga ake nei, kua whakakitea e ahau, e te hepara, e te anahera o te ripeneta, ki ngā pononga a te Atua.

276 Nō reira, ki te whakapono koutou, ki te whakarongo ki ēnei kupu, ki te haere i roto i aua kupu, ki te whakatikatika i ō koutou ara, ka ora koutou. Ki te mau tonu ia koutou i te kino, i te mahara ki ngā whara, e kore tetahi o aua tangata hara e ora ki te Atua.

277 Ko ēnei mea katoa i mea kia kōrerotia e au, kua tukua atu nei e au ki a koutou. Kātahi ka mea mai te hepara ki ahau, Kua pātai mai koe i ngā mea katoa ki ahau? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, kua pātai mai ahau.

278 He aha rā, e ai ki tāna, kāore koe i pātai ai mō ngā wāhi o ēnei kōhatu i whakatakotoria ki roto i te whare, kia whakamārama atu ai ahau ki a koe? Ka whakahoki ahau, E te Ariki, kua wareware ahau. Whakarongo mai, e ai ki tāna, mō ēnei hoki.

279 Ko rātou te hunga kua rongo i ēnei whakahau, ā, kua ripeneta katoa ō rātou ngākau; 280 Ā, i te kitenga o te Ariki he pai, he parakore tā rātou ripeneta, ā, ka taea tonu e rātou te mahi i tēnā, ka whakahau ia kia murua ā rātou hara o mua. Nā rātou hoki ēnei wāhi, ā, nā reira i hangaia ai kia kore ai e puta.

TE WHAKARITE 10 1 I muri i taku tuhituhi i tēnei pukapuka, ka tomo mai te anahera nāna ahau i tuku ki taua hepara ki te whare i noho ai ahau, ā, noho ana i runga i te moenga, me te hepara e tū ana i tōna ringa matau.

2 Kātahi ia ka karanga mai ki ahau, ka mea mai ki ahau; Kua tukua koe me tō whare e ahau ki tēnei hepara, kia tiakina koe e ia. Ka mea ahau, Ae, e te Ariki.

Te Pukapuka Tuatoru o te Hepara o Hermas - Ngā Kupu Whakarite

3 Nō reira, e ai ki tāna, ka tiakina koe i ngā raruraru katoa, i ngā mahi nanakia katoa, ā, ka angitu koe i roto i ngā kupu pai katoa, i ngā mahi pai katoa; ā, ka whiwhi koe i te pai katoa, i te tika katoa; haere i runga i ngā whakahau kua homai e ia ki a koe, ā, ka whai mana koe ki runga i ngā hara katoa.

4 Ki te pupuri koe i aua ture, ka ngohengohe ki a koe ngā hiahia me ngā ahuareka katoa o tēnei ao; ā, ka aru te angitu i a koe i ngā mahi pai katoa.

5 Nō reira, kia mau ki tōna ngākau nui me tōna ngākau mahaki ki a koe, me kī atu ki te katoa, he nui tōna honore me tōna ingoa nui i te aroaro o te Atua, he rangatira hoki ia e whai mana nui ana, e whai mana ana hoki i roto i tana mahi.

6 Ki a ia anake te mana o te ripeneta e tukua ana puta noa i te ao katoa. Kāore ianei ia i te mea he mana nui ki a koe?

7 Heoi e whakahawea ana koutou ki tona ngawari, ki tona ngākau mahaki e ngaungau ana ki a koutou.

8 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, E te Ariki, ui atu ki a ia mai i tana taenga mai ki toku whare, mehemea i mahi he ahau i tetahi mea, i he ranei ahau ki a ia?

9 E mōhio ana ahau, e ai ki tāna, kāhore āu mahi hē, ā, e kore anō koe e mahi i tētahi mea pēnā a muri ake nei; nō reira ka kōrerotia e ahau ēnei mea ki a koe kia manawanui ai koe; kua homai hoki e ia he kōrero pai mōu ki ahau, 10 Engari me kōrero ēnei mea ki ētahi atu, kia rite ai te whakaaro o te hunga kua ripeneta, o te hunga rānei ka ripeneta ki a koe; ā, māna anō e homai he kōrero pai mō rātou ki ahau, ā, māku anō hoki e mea pērā ki te Ariki.

11 Ka whakahoki ahau; E te Ariki, ka whakapuaki ahau i ngā mahi whakamiharo a te Atua ki ngā tāngata katoa; ā, ko taku tumanako, ko te hunga katoa e aroha ana ki ēnei mahi, ā, kua hara i mua, ina rongo rātou i ēnei mea, ka ripeneta, ā, ka ora anō.

12 Nō reira, kia mau tonu, e ai ki tāna, ki tēnei mahi minita, kia oti hoki. Ā, ko te tangata e mahi ana i ngā whakahau a tēnei hepara, ka ora ia; ā, ka nui tōna honore i konei, i te aroaro hoki o te Ariki.

13 Ko te hunga ia e kore e pupuri i ana ture, ka rere atu i ō rātou oranga, ā, ka noho hei hoariri ki te ora. Ā, ko te hunga e kore e whai i ana ture, ka tuku i a rātou anō ki te mate, ā, ka whai hara ia tangata, ia tangata i ōna ake toto.

14 Ko taku kupu ia tēnei ki a koe, kia mau ki ēnei ture, ā, ka kitea e koe he rongoā mō ō hara katoa.

15 ¶ Heoi anō, kua tonoa atu e ahau ēnei wahine ki a koe kia noho; kua kite hoki ahau he tino atawhai rātou ki a koe.

Nō reira, me waiho rātou hei kaiawhina māu, kia pai ake ai tō pupuri i ngā whakahau kua hoatu e ia ki a koe; e kore hoki e taea te pupuri i ēnei whakahau me te kore ēnei wahine.

16 Ā, e kite ana ahau i tō rātou ngākau hihiko ki te noho tahi me koe; ā, ka whakahau atu anō hoki ahau i a rātou kia kaua rātou katoa e haere atu i tō whare.

17 Me pure noa tō whare, ka noho hoki rātou ki te whare ma. He ma hoki rātou, he tapu, he pukumahi; ā, he atawhai katoa rātou i te Ariki.

18 Nō reira, ki te mea ka ma tō whare, ka noho tonu rātou ki a koe. Engari ki te kore e poke rawa, ka haere tonu atu rātou i tō whare: e kore hoki ēnei wahine e manawanui ki tētahi momo poke.

19 Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia; E te Ariki, ko taku tumanako ka pai ahau ki a rātou, kia noho tonu ai rātou ki tōku whare.

Ā, i te mea kāore te tangata i tukua mai nei e koe ki ahau e amuamu ki ahau; nō reira, e kore anō rātou e amuamu.

20 Kātahi ia ka mea ki taua hepara: E kite ana ahau ka ora te pononga a te Atua, ka pupuri i ēnei ture, ā, ka whakanohoia ēnei wahine ki tētahi nohoanga parakore.

21 Ā, i tana kōrerotanga i tēnei, ka tukua ahau e ia ki taua hepara, ka karanga i ngā wahine, ka mea ki a rātou; i te mea e kite ana ahau e pai ana koutou ki te noho ki te whare o tēnei tangata, ka tūtohu atu ahau i a ia me tōna whare ki a koutou, kia kaua rawa koutou e wehe atu i tōna whare. Ā, ka whakarongo pai rātou ki ēnei kupu.

22 Kātahi ia ka mea mai ki ahau, Haere māia i roto i tō mahi minita; kauwhautia ki ngā tāngata katoa ngā mea nunui a te Atua, ā, ka kitea e koe te aroha noa i roto i tēnei mahi minita.

23 Ko te tangata e whai ana i ēnei ture, ka ora ia, ka hari i a ia e ora ana: ko te tangata ia e whakarere ana i a rātou, e kore e ora, ā, ka pouri i a ia e ora ana.

24 Mea atu ki te katoa, ko te hunga e kaha ana ki te mahi pai, kaua e mutu te whakaharatau i a rātou anō ki ngā mahi pai, he mea pai hoki tēnā mā rātou. E hiahia ana hoki ahau kia whakaorangia ngā tāngata katoa i ngā raruraru e pā ana ki a rātou.

25 Ko te tangata hoki e hiahia ana, e pāngia ana e ngā raruraru o ia rā, kei roto ia i te mamae nui me te matea. Nō reira, ko te tangata e whakaora ana i taua wairua i te matea, ka whiwhi ia i te hari nui ki a ia anō.

26 Ko te tangata hoki e pouri ana ki ēnei raruraru, ka mamae anō hoki ia, me te mea kei roto ia i te mekameka.

He tokomaha hoki kua kore e taea te whakamanawanui i aua aituā, ā, kua whiriwhiria kia whakangaromia rātou anō.

27 Nō reira, ko te tangata e mōhio ana ki te aituā o taua tangata, ā, kāore e whakaora i a ia i taua aituā, he hara nui tāna, ā, e hara ana ia i ōna toto.

28 Nō reira, kia kaha ki te mahi i ngā mahi pai, e te hunga kua whiwhi ki te kaha i te Ariki; kei whakaroa koutou ki te mahi i aua mea, ā, ka oti te hanga o te pourewa; nā te mea kua mutu te hanga mō koutou.

29 Nō reira, ki te kore koutou e hohoro ki te mahi i te pai, ka oti te pourewa, ā, ka āraia koutou ki waho.

30 Ā, i muri i tana kōrero mai ki ahau, ka whakatika ake ia i te moenga, ka haere atu, me te kawe i te hepara me ngā wāhine.

31 Heoi i mea mai ia ki ahau, ka tonoa mai e ia te hepara me ngā wāhine ki tōku whare. Āmene.
