Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Matiu 4

Deli

Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, “Kua oti te tuhituhi, ‘E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari, i ngā kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te māngai o te Atua.’ ”

Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Haere atu, e Hātana! Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi; ‘Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua, me mahi anō ki a ia anake.’ ”

Mea atu ana a Īhu ki a ia, “Ka oti anō hoki te tuhituhi, ‘Kaua e whakamātautau ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua.’ ”

Me i reira ka ārahina a Īhu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamātautauria e te rēwera. Ā, nō ka whā tekau ngā rā, ka whā tekau ngā pō i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai.

Nā, ka mea ia ki a rāua, “Arumia mai ahau, ā, māku kōrua e mea hei kaihao tāngata.” Ā, mahue ake i a rāua ngā kupenga, ā, aru ana i a ia.

Nō reira anō a Īhu i tīmata ai te kauwhau, te mea, “Rīpenetā, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.”
