TSK · Ruka 15:17

Ka rite ki te rekanga kanohi, ina ara ake te tangata, tau whakahawea ki to ratou ahua, e te Ariki, ina ara ake koe.

He pono i muri i toku tahuritanga, i ripeneta ahau; a i muri i toku whakaakoranga i papaki ahau ki toku huha: i whakama ahau, ae ra, i numinumi kau, no te mea e waha ana e ahau te ingoa kino o toku taitamarikitanga.

Nana hoki i whakaaro, a tahuri mai ana i ona he katoa i mahia e ia; ina, ka ora ia, e kore e mate.

Ka whakatika ahau, ka haere ki toku matua, ka mea ki a ia, E pa, kua hara ahau ki te rangi, ki tou aroaro ano,

¶ No ratou ka rongo, ka werowero i roto i o ratou ngakau, ka mea ki a Pita ratou ko era atu apotoro, E nga tuakana, me aha matou?

He maha ano aku whiunga i a ratou i roto i nga whare karakia katoa, i meinga ano ratou e ahau kia kohukohu; heoi haurangi noa iho ahau ki a ratou, whaia ana e ahau, a taea noatia nga pa o tawhiti.

Koia hoki tana kupu nei, Maranga, e tenei e moe nei, ara ake i roto i te hunga mate, a ka whiti a te Karaiti ki runga ki a koe.

Kei whakapohehetia koutou, e oku teina aroha.
