Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Māka 11

Deli

Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, ko ngā mea katoa e tono ai koutou ina īnoi, me whakapono ka riro mai i a koutou, ā, ka whiwhi koutou.

He pono hoki tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te mea tētahi ki tēnei maunga, ‘Kia rangā atu koe, kia whakatakā ki te moana,’ e kore hoki e ruarua tōna ngākau, engari, ka whakapono ia tērā e puta mai ngā mea i kīia e ia; ka whiwhi ia ki tāna i mea ai.

Ā, ka tū koutou, ka karakia, ki te mea he take riri tā koutou ki tētahi, murua; kia murua ai hoki ō koutou hē e tō koutou Matua i te rangi.

Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia mau te whakapono ki te Atua.

Ā, i whakaako ia, i mea ki a rātou, “Kāhore koia i tuhituhia, ‘Ka kīia tōku whare he whare īnoi mō ngā tauiwi katoa’? Otiia, kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mō ngā kaipāhua.”

Ko te hunga i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, i karanga, i mea, “Ohana! Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki!

Ka whakapaingia te rangatiratanga e haere mai ana, te rangatiratanga o tō tātou matua o Rāwiri! Ohana i runga rawa!”
