TSK · Matiu 3:11

No te mea ka ringihia e ahau he wai ki runga ki te tangata matewai, he awa ki te wahi maroke: ka ringihia e ahau toku wairua ki ou uri, taku manaaki ki tau whanau.

Ka kawea ano e ahau te tuatoru o nga wahi i roto i te ahi, ka tahia hoki te para, ka peratia me te hiriwa e tahia ana, ka whakamatautauria ano ratou e ahau, ka peratia me te koura; ka karanga ratou ki toku ingoa, a ka whakarongo ahau ki a ratou: ka mea ahau, He iwi ratou naku; a ka mea ratou, Ko Ihowa toku Atua.

A iriiria ana ratou e ia ki Horano, me te whaki ano i o ratou hara.

A i kauwhau ia, i mea, Tenei te haere mai nei i muri i ahau tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau ki te piko iho wewete ai i te here o ona hu.

Na ka haere mai ia ki nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara;

Na haere tahi ana a Ihu me ratou. A, i a ia kahore nei i matara i te whare, ka tono te keneturio i etahi hoa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, kei maumau ngenge noa koe: ehara hoki ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tu anui:

Na ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia tena te tu na i waenganui i a koutou tetahi kahore e mohiotia e koutou:

A kahore ahau i matau ki a ia: engari i ki mai ki ahau te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia tena te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.

I iriiri hoki a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia, e kore e maha ake nga ra, ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu.

A, noku ka timata ki te korero, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki a ratou, ka pera ano me ia ki a tatou i te timatanga.

Na ka mea a Paora, Ko ta Hoani iriiri he iriiri ripeneta. I mea ia ki te iwi, kia whakapono ratou ki tetahi e haere mai ana i muri i a ia, ara ki a Ihu.

Ko te hunga katoa hoki o koutou kua iriiria ki roto ki a te Karaiti, kua kakahuria e koutou a te Karaiti.

Ehara i te mea na nga mahi tika i mahia e tatou, engari na tana mahi tohu i whakaorangia ai tatou e ia, he meatanga na te horoinga o te whanautanga houtanga, na te whakahoutanga a te Wairua Tapu,
