1 I te rā tuatahi o te wiki ka haere a Meri Makarini ki te urupā i te atatū, i te mea e pōuri tonu ana, ā, ka kite i te kōhatu kua tangohia atu i te urupā. 2 Nā, ka oma ia, ka haere ki a Haimona Pita rāua ko tērā ākonga i aroha ai a Īhu, ka mea ki a rāua, “Kua tangohia e rātou te Ariki i te urupā, ā, kāhore mātou e mōhio ki te wāhi i waiho ai ia e rātou.”
3 Nā, ka puta atu a Pita, me taua ākonga, ka haere ki te urupā. 4 Ā, oma ngātahi ana rāua; otiia, i hohoro tērā ākonga i a Pita, ko ia anō kua tae wawe ki te urupā. 5 Nā, piko iho ana ia, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana; heoi, kīhai i tomo ki roto. 6 Nā, ka haere anō a Haimona Pita i muri i a ia, ā, ko tōna tomokanga ki te urupā, ka kite i ngā tākai rīnena e takoto ana. 7 Me te tauera i takaia ai tōna mātenga, kīhai i takoto tahi me ngā tākai rīnena, he mea whakakopa ia ki tētahi wāhi i tahaki. 8 Kātahi, ka tomo tērā ākonga, i tae wawe nei ki te urupā, kite ana, whakapono ana. 9 (Kīanō hoki rātou i mōhio noa ki te karaipiture, kua takoto te tikanga kia ara ake ia i te hunga mate.) 10 Nā, hoki ana anō ngā ākonga ki tō rāua kāinga.
11 Ko Meri ia tū tonu i waho o te urupā tangi ai. Ā, i a ia e tangi ana, ka piko iho ki te urupā. 12 Ka kite i ngā anahera tokorua, he mā ngā kākahu, e noho ana, ko tētahi ki te mātenga, ko tētahi ki ngā waewae, i te wāhi i takoto ai te tinana o Īhu.
13 Ka mea rāua ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi?”
15 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E tai, he aha tāu e tangi? Ko wai tāu e rapu?”
16 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “E Meri!”
17 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Kei pā ki ahau; kīanō hoki ahau i kake noa ki tōku Matua. Engari, haere ki ōku tēina, ka mea atu ki a rātou, ‘Ka kake ahau ki tōku Matua, ki tō koutou Matua; ki tōku Atua, ki tō koutou Atua.’ ”
18 Haere ana a Meri Makarini, kōrero ana ki ngā ākonga, “Kua kite ia i te Ariki.” Kua kōrerotia hoki e ia ēnei mea ki a ia.
19 I taua rā tuatahi anō o te wiki, i te ahiahi, i ngā tatau e kati ana o te wāhi i huihui ai ngā ākonga i te wehi i ngā Hūrai, ka haere mai a Īhu, ka tū i waenganui, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou.” 20 Ā, ka puaki tēnei kupu āna, ka whakakitea e ia ōna ringa me tōna kaokao ki a rātou. Nā, hari tonu ngā ākonga, i tō rātou kitenga i te Ariki.
21 Ka mea anō a Īhu ki a rātou, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou. I tonoa mai ahau e te Matua, ka pērā anō tāku tono i a koutou.” 22 Ka kōrerotia tēnei e ia, ka whakahā ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “Kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a koutou. 23 Ki te whakarērea noatia e koutou ngā hara o ētahi, ka whakarērea o rātou; ki te whakamaua anō o ētahi e koutou, ka mau anō.”
26 Ā, ka pahemo ngā rā e waru, nā, kei roto anō āna ākonga, rātou ko Tamati. Ka haere mai a Īhu i te mea e kati ana ngā tatau, ka tū ki waenganui, ka mea, “Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou.” 27 Kātahi ia ka mea ki a Tamati, “Totoro mai tōu matihao, kia kite hoki koe i ōku ringa. Totoro mai hoki tōu ringa, ka kuhu ki tōku kaokao. Aua e whakateka, engari, me whakapono.”
28 Nā, ka whakahoki a Tamati, ka mea ki a ia, “E tōku Ariki, e tōku Atua!”
29 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Nō tōu kitenga i ahau, i whakapono ai koe, e Tamati. Ka koa te hunga kāhore i kite, ā, kua whakapono.”
