TSK · Nga Mahi 10:22

Kahore i tawahi o te moana, hei meatanga mau, Ko wai o tatou hei whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki te tiki i tena mea ki a tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

Nana, kei te whakakake tona ngakau, kahore e tika i roto i a ia: ma tona whakapono ia ki ora ai te tangata tika.

I hopohopo hoki a Herora ki a Hoani, i mohio hoki ki a ia he tangata tika, he tapu, na ka ata tiaki i a ia. I tona rongonga ki a ia he nui tona pororaru; a i whakaahuareka ano ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

¶ Na, i Hiruharama tetahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whakaaro, e tatari ana ki te whakaharinga o Iharaira: kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia.

¶ Na tera tetahi tangata, ko Hohepa te ingoa, he tangata noho runanga; he tangata pai, he tangata tika:

Ko te wairua te whakaora ana; kahore a te kikokiko wahi: ko nga kupu e korero nei ahau ki a koutou he wairua, he ora.

He pono, he pono taku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, Ki te tango tetahi ki taku e tono ai, e tango ana ia i ahau; a ki te tango tetahi i ahau, e tango ana ki toku kaitono mai.

¶ Ehara taku i te inoi mo enei anake, engari mo te hunga e meinga e ta ratou kupu kia whakapono ki ahau:

He tangata karakia ia, e wehi ana i te Atua, ratou ko tona whare katoa, he maha ana mahi atawhai ki te iwi, me te inoi tonu ki te Atua.

I reira tonu ka tono tangata atu ahau ki a koe; na he pai rawa tou haerenga mai. No reira kei konei katoa matou kei te aroaro o te Atua, whakarongo ai ki nga mea katoa kua whakahaua e te Ariki ki a koe.

Na ko tetahi tangata, ko Anania, he tangata karakia, i rite tonu nei ki ta te ture ana mahi, a e korerotia paitia ana e nga Hurai katoa e noho ana i reira,

A kei reira e whakakitea ana ta te Atua tika, he mea no te whakapono ki te whakapono: kua oti nei hoki te tuhituhi, ma te whakapono e ora ai te tangata tika.

Ko te putake ia o nga mea katoa ko te Atua, i hohou nei i ta tatou rongo ki a ia i runga i a te Karaiti, a homai ana e ia ki a matou te minitatanga o te houhanga rongo;

Ma te whakapono ia e ora ai te tangata tika: a ki te hoki tetahi ki muri, e kore toku wairua e ahuareka ki a ia.

Ki te huihui nui, ki te hahi o nga matamua, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi, ki te Atua hoki, ki te kaiwhakawa o nga tangata katoa, ki nga wairua ano o te hunga tika kua oti te mea kia tino tika,

¶ E korerotia paitia ana a Rimitiriu e te katoa, e te pono ano hoki: ae ra ko matou ano etahi hei kaiwhakaatu; e mohio ana koutou he pono ta matou whakaatu.
