Hato Anatonio Nui

Story

Ko Hato Anatonio Nui, te whetū o te koraha me te matua o ngā monaki katoa, i whānau mai i te tau 251 T.K. i te kāinga o Qimn al-Arus i Ihipa. He whai rawa, he tangata wehi Atua ōna mātua, he hunga aroha ki te Hāhi me te hunga rawakore, ā, i whakatupuria e rāua tā rāua tama i runga i te wehi ki te Ariki. I te tata o Anatonio ki te rua tekau tau te pakeke, ka mate ōna mātua, ka waiho ki a ia te tiaki i tōna tuahine teina me tētahi taonga tuku iho nui.

I tētahi rā, i a ia e kuhu ana ki te whare karakia, ka rongo ia i ngā kupu a te Ariki a te Karaiti e pānuitia ana mai i te Rongopai: "Ki te hiahia koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ōu rawa, ka hoatu ki te hunga rawakore, ā, ka whai taonga koe ki te rangi; ā, haere mai, aru mai i a au." Ka tango taua taitama i ēnei kupu me te mea i kōrerotia tōtika ki a ia anō. Ka hoki ia ki te kāinga, ka tohatohaina ōna rawa katoa ki te hunga rawakore, ka tukua tōna tuahine ki tētahi rōpū wāhine tapu kua whakatapua, ā, ka wehe atu i te ao kia noho i runga i te oranga mokemoke me te īnoi.

I te mea kāhore anō he tikanga monaki hei whai māna, ka noho ko Anatonio anake i waho o te tāone, e mahi ana ki ōna ringa, e nohopuku ana, e mātaara ana. Ko te hoariri o te tangata, i te hae ki tōna tapu, i whakaeke ki a ia me ngā whakawai katoa: te ngenge me te māngere, ngā wairua whakamā, ā, i te mutunga ko ngā āhua o ngā kararehe mōhukihuki, whakawehi. Engari ko te hāhi tapu, kua whakaūngia ki te Rīpeka me te whakapono pūmau, ka tāwai ki ngā rewera me te whakahāwea i ā rātou tinihanga, e kī ana kāhore he mana o rātou ki runga i tētahi pononga a te Karaiti, ā, nā te Ariki ia i whakaora i a rātou katoa.

I muri i tana whakapau i ētahi rua tekau tau e huna ana i ngā wāhi rōroa o tana whawhai, ka pakaru i ngā teina te tatau, ā, ka kitea ia e kānapanapa ana, kāhore i pupuhi i te hauhautanga, kāhore i tūoi i ana whakaiti, engari i whakahaeretia katoatia e te whakaaro tika me te aroha noa. Mai i taua wā ka tae mai te tini ki a ia, e rapu ana i te ara o te whakaoranga, ā, ka noho ia hei matua, hei kaiārahi mō rātou. Nā konā, mā runga i a ia, ka tini ngā monaki i te koraha, ā, ka tīmata te oranga monaki ki te whakatupu i te ao katoa.

I te aranga o te whakatoinga nui, ka heke a Anatonio ki Arakahanaria ki te whakamārie i ngā kaiwhakaae o te Karaiti i roto i ō rātou whare herehere, ki te whakakaha i ngā kaiwhakaatu, e whakaae mārakerake ana i te whakapono, me te hiahia anō kia mamae ia mō te Ariki; engari nā te Atua ia i tiaki kia noho ai ia hei matua mō te tini. I muri mai ka toro atu ia ki te tonga o te koraha o te rāwhiti, e haere ana kia kitea e ia tētahi wāhi wai me ngā nīkau i te taha o te maunga, ka noho ia ki reira. I reira, i te roa o te wā, ka ara ake te Whare Monaki Nui o Hato Anatonio.

Nā te Ariki tana pononga i whakakororia ki te taonga o te wehewehe tika, ki ngā whakaoranga, me te poropititanga. I poropiti ia i ngā raruraru ka pā ki te Hāhi mā te titorehanga me tōna whakahokinga ā muri ake. I tūtaki ia, i kōrero ki a Hato Paora te kaihukihuki tuatahi, ā, i te wehenga o taua tangata tapu, ka tanumia e Anatonio tōna tinana, ka takaia ki te koroka i riro mai i a Pāpā Atanahio. I whakaakona e ia a Hato Makario me te tini atu ki te ara o te tika, ā, ahakoa i tuhituhi mai ngā kīngi ki a ia e rapu ana i ana īnoi, ka noho tonu ia i runga i te whakaiti i tōna whare iti.

I te kitenga o te hāhi tapu kua tata te rā o tana wehenga, ka tohutohu ia ki ana ākonga kia huna tōna tinana ki tētahi wāhi kāhore i mōhiotia e tētahi, kei whakahōnoretia mārakeraketia. I whakahau ia kia hoatu tōna tokotoko ki a Hato Makario, tētahi o ōna koroka hipi ki a Pāpā Atanahio, ā, ko tērā atu ki tāna ākonga ko Anba Herapiona. Kātahi ka whārikitia ia ki te whenua, ka tukua tōna wairua ki ngā ringa o te Ariki. Kotahi rau e rima tau ōna i ora ai, katoa i roto i te tapu, te mā, me te mahi kāhore i mutu.

E whakanui ana te Hāhi Koputiki Ōrutoko i te whakamaharatanga o tana wehenga kororia i te rua tekau mā rua o te rā o te marama o Tobi. Mā ana īnoi me tana manaaki tātou e tiaki. Āmine.

Hymn

This hymn is a best-effort translation provided for meaning — not the original poetic text, and its wording may differ from the original.

Ko te rama o te oranga monaki,

Ko te whetū o te koraha,

Ko Anba Anatonio nui,

Nāna te ingoa i manaakitia e te Ariki.

I whānau ia i te whenua o te Naera

Ā, i whakatupuria ki te wehi ki te Ariki.

I ora ia i te oranga mā;

I karakia tonu ia ki tō tātou Atua.

I te rua tekau noa ōna tau

Ka wehe atu ōna mātua,

Ka waiho ki a ia

Tōna tuahine, me te taonga kāhore i tatauria.

E whakapuaki ana a Atanahio ki a tātou

He maha ngā marama i muri i tō rāua matenga,

I īnoi, i hiahia tonu tēnei matua

Ki te oranga o te taonga wairua.

I tētahi rā i te Hāhi, ka rongo ia

I te karere i hiahia ai ia:

"Ki te hiahia koe kia tino tika

Haere, hokona ngā mea i riro i a koe.

"Hoatu te hua ki te hunga rawakore,

Ā, he pono, ka kite koe

I ngā taonga nui i te rangi,

Kātahi haere mai, aru mai i a au."

Tonu tonu ka wehe ia i te Hāhi.

I hoatu ōna taonga i taua rā.

Ki ngā wāhine tapu i waiho ai tōna tuahine,

Ka nohopuku, ka īnoi tahi rātou.

Ki te taha o te tāone i rere atu ai ia

Mai i te horihori o te ao.

Engari kāhore te Rewera i ngenge;

He nui ake te paihana i akina e ia ki te hāhi tapu.

Ia tinihanga i hinga i a ia

Mā tōna whakaiti nui

Me te mana o te Ariki

Ki a ia te kororia katoa.

Kotahi hīkoi ka tahuri ia

Ka neke ki tētahi urupā rōroa.

Ko te Rewera, kia kaua e hingatia,

I hoatu ngā mahi kāhore he tangata e māia.

I te āhua o ngā kararehe nanakia,

Ka puta te Rewera.

Ka whakahoki a Anba Anatonio ki a rātou

Mā te reo kāhore he mataku:

"Mēnā kotahi o koutou

He mana ki runga i a au,

Kātahi kotahi anake o koutou

Ka tika hei whawhai ki a au!"

Ko te Rewera i tana riri,

Ka kawe i ana pakanga ki tētahi taumata teitei ake.

Ki ōna ringa i whawhai ki a Anatonio,

Ka tū te pakanga ā-tinana.

I muri i ngā pō maha o te pakanga,

Ka kite a Anba Anatonio i te Ariki:

"I hea koe, e tōku Atua?"

Ka riringi tōna ngākau ki te Kaiwhakaora.

"E taku tama, i a koe ahau —

Engari, i pai rawa taku kite i a koe e whawhai ana,

Kāhore ahau i māia ki te tango

I te karauna mō tō kaha wairua."

Mā te māia ka wehe anō ia,

I tēnei wā ki te koraha,

Ki te ora i te oranga o te īnoi,

Te oranga o te hari wairua.

Nā tō tātou Ariki i hoatu ki a ia

Tētahi tirohanga wairua nui.

Ka mahi, ka īnoi he tangata

I te ao, i te pō.

I tōna māhunga, ko te kolossowa

Me te schema huri i tōna hope.

Ko te oranga me te tikanga o ngā monaki,

I ahu mai i tēnei tirohanga.

I te wā o Diocletian,

Ki te ao i tae mai tēnei matua,

E ārahi ana i ngā kaiwhakaatu katoa

Kia mamae kāhore he whakamā.

Ko te kāwana i te riri,

I pana atu ia ki te koraha;

Engari ka whakatete a Anba Anatonio ki a ia

Ka haere tonu i tāna atawhai nui.

I mahia e ia tēnei ehara i te whakahāwea,

Engari mō tōna ake hiahia

Kia patua ia hei kaiwhakaatu;

Kia mate mō tōna Ariki me tōna Matua.

Ki te koraha i hoki ai ia

Ki te ora i te oranga monaki.

Kātahi ka riro mai ōna ākonga,

Ki te ora i te whawhai wairua.

Anō ka hoki ia ki te ao

Ki te whakakaha i a Atanahio

I roto i te pakanga nui o te Hāhi

Ki te kino o Ariusi.

I tini haere ōna kaiwhai,

I ātamaramara ake tāna tikanga,

I haere mai ngā hāhi tapu nui ki a ia:

Ko Makario; ko Didymus matapō.

I whakaako te hāhi tapu i ana monaki

Ā, he nui ngā pai i whakaaturia e rātou,

E whakatū ana i te tikanga

I whaia e te ao.

Tēnā koe e Anba Anatonio.

Tēnā koe e te hāhi tapu tika.

Tēnā koe e te tangata, i tana kitenga,

Ka ngohe ngā rewera katoa.

E te hoa o Hato Paora,

E te hoa pono honore,

Maharatia mātou, āu tamariki,

Tukua ā mātou īnoi ki tō tātou Ariki.

Ka karanga ngā monaki me te hunga noa,

Mā te reo kotahi o te īnoi:

"E te Atua o Anba Anatonio

Whakarongo mai ki a mātou i a mātou e kī ana:"
