TSK · 2 Pita 2:4

Nana, kahore rawa ia e whakawhirinaki ki ana pononga; a ki tana, he he kei ana anahera.

A whakatikaia ana e ia he ara mo tona riri; kihai i tohungia to ratou wairua kei mate: otiia tukua ana e ia to ratou ora ki te mate uruta.

Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kua whakapokea nei e koe toku wahi tapu ki au mea whakarihariha katoa, ki au mea anuanu katoa, mo reira ka tino whakaititia ano koe e ahau; e kore toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ano ahau e to hu.

E kore ano toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ahau e tohu; ka rite ki ou ara taku e hoatu ai ki a koe, ka mau ano au mea whakarihariha ki waenganui i a koe; a ka mohio koutou e whiu ana ano ahau, a Ihowa.

Ko reira ia ki atu ai ki te hunga i te taha ki maui, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga ka oti nei te kanga, ki te ahi ka tonu, kua ka noa ake mo te rewera ratou ko ana anahera:

Katahi ka inoi ratou ki a ia kia kaua ratou e tonoa e ia kia haere ki te hohonu.

Na to koutou matua koutou, na te rewera, e pai ana hoki kia mea i ta to koutou matua i hiahia ai. He kaikohuru ia no te timatanga, kihai hoki tu i roto i te pono, no te mea kahore he pono i roto i a ia. Ki te korero teka ia, e korero ana i ana: he korero teka hoki ia, ko te matua o te teka.

Na, ki te mea kihai i tohungia nga manga tupu e te Atua, e kore ano ia e tohu i a koe.

Matau tonu te Ariki ki te whakaora i te hunga karakia i roto i te whakamatautauranga, kia waiho ko te hunga he mo a te ra whakawa whiu ai;

Ko te tangata e mea ana i te hara, no te rewera ia; he hara hoki to te rewera no te timatanga ra ano. Mo konei te Tama a te Atua i whakakitea mai ai, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga mahi a te rewera.

He ngaru pua no te moana, e whakatutu ana i te huka o to ratou whakama; he whetu atiutiu noa, pouri kerekere te wahi kua rite mo ratou mo ake tonu atu.

¶ A ka kite ahau i tetahi anahera e heke iho ana i te rangi, kei a ia te ki o te poka torere, me tetahi mekameka nui i tona ringaringa.
