Kia Manawanui ki te Mutunga — He Ako Paipera me nga Nama a Strong

(Ko aku whakaaro ake — kia mahara ki te maha o nga wa e ki ana te kupu RA KATOA. I mau tonu ratou i tenei ra, i tenei ra. I whawhati taro ratou i tenei whare ki tenei whare. I whakahauhau tetahi i tetahi i tenei ra, i tenei ra. Ehara tenei i te whakapono o te haora kotahi i te Ratapu, me te haora kotahi i waenganui o te wiki — he nohoanga e whakamahanatia ana kia rua nga wa, a ko te toenga o te oranga, no te tangata ake ano. I noho te hahi tuatahi ki roto i tenei mea i tenei ra, i tenei ra, ngatahi, a ka tapiritia e te Ariki ki a ratou i tenei ra, i tenei ra, te hunga e whakaorangia ana. He whakapono e whakatakotoria ana kia tae ra ano ki te huihuinga e whai ake nei, koia te whakapono ka pakeke i roto i te tinihanga o te hara. Ehara i te mea e tono ana ia mo tetahi haerenga. E tono ana ia mo tetahi oranga.)

(Ko ōku whakaaro ake — kia mātakitaki ki tā te Ariki e mahi ai ki te tangata mahana-haumāruru. Ehara i te tangata makariri anake, engari ko te tangata mahana-haumāruru — te tangata kua rahi te whakapono hei whakamarie i a ia, engari kāore i te nui hei whakaora i a ia — ko tērā ka ruakina e Ia i tōna waha. Ko te noho piri ki a Ia, ehara i te mau ki te miro, mahana i te Rātapu, makariri i ngā rā katoa o te wiki. Ko te tino tikanga, kia wera. He pai ake te wera, e ai tāna, ā, ko te makariri hoki, i tērā mea o waenganui e whakarihariha ana ki a Ia. Kia noho koe i roto i a Ia, ā, mā Ia koe e whakawera tonu ā te mutunga.)

(Ko oku whakaaro ake — ka toro pea te kohungahunga i roto i a te Karaiti ki te mura ahi ahakoa kua mea kē te Matua, kaua. Koinei te tapepa o te tamaiti e ako tonu ana, ā, e mōhio ana te Matua ki tērā. Ko te tama, ko te tamāhine kua pakeke, me mōhio pai ake. Engari anei te aroha nui o taua mea: ahakoa e hara ana tātou, kāore tātou e whiua atu. He Kaiwawao tō tātou — a Ihu Karaiti te tangata tika — e ora tonu ana, e kōrero tonu ana ki te Matua mō tātou. Nā reira ka ara anō tātou. E hinga ana te tangata tika kia whitu, ka ara anō ia. Ka tirotiro tātou i a tātou anō, ka whaki i tā tātou i mea ai, ka tahuri atu i tērā, ka hoki ki te mahi a tō tātou Matua, ka waiho i muri te mea kua pahure — nō te mea kua tangohia kētia e te Atua ō tātou hara kia rite ki te matara o te rāwhiti ki te uru, ā, kāhore ia e mahara anō ki ērā mea. Engari kaua e whakamahia tēnei aroha nui hei whakaputa take mō te hē. E whakaatu ana a Etekiera i tētahi atu taha: ko te tangata tika e tahuri atu ana i tōna tika, ā, ka mate i roto i tōna hara, e kore ia e whakaorangia mā runga i te tika i a ia i mua. E whakaatu ana a Pita i taua āhua kotahi i roto i te Kawenata Hou, ā, ka whakahua ia i te whakatauki tawhito hei whakaatu: ko te kurī e hoki ana ki tāna ake ruaki, ko te poaka kua horoia e hoki ana ki te paru — ko te tangata i mawhiti mai i te poke o te ao mā runga i te mōhio ki te Ariki, ā, katahi ka tahuri anō ki roto, kino ake tōna mutunga i tōna timatanga. Ā, e mea ana a Ihu ki te hunga i mahi kino i runga i tōna ingoa, "Kāore rawa ahau i mōhio ki a koutou." Nā, kia mau ki ngā mata e rua o tēnei hoari, kaua e whakapōturitia tētahi. E mea ana te Ariki, kāhore he tangata e kaha ana ki te kapo i āna hipi i roto i tōna ringa — kāhore he hoariri, kāhore he mana, kāhore he tangata. He pono taua haumaru, ā, nā tōna pupuri, ehara i te mea nā tātou. Engari tirohia te āhua o āna kōrero mō aua hipi: ka rongo rātou ki tōna reo, ka whai hoki rātou i a ia. Kāhore rawa te kupu e whakaatu ana i te hipi e haea atu ana i roto i tōna ringa; e whakaatu ana ia i te mea kua horoia e tahuri ana, e hoki ana ki te paru, nō tōna ake hiahia. E pupuri ana te Karaipiture i ēnei mea e rua — ko te ringa kāhore e taea te wāhi, me te whakatūpato kia kaua e tahuri atu — ā, kāhore ia e whakarērea ai kia noho hei ture ngāwari kotahi, nā reira kāhore hoki tātou e pērā. Kaua e ngākaukore ina hinga koe: he pono te Kaiwawao, ā, kei te tuwhera te huarahi ki te kāinga. Kaua e whakaaro noa ka taea e koe te tahuri atu ki te noho noa: he pono anō te whakatūpato. Hinga, engari ara anō. Ara, ka whakaū tae noa ki te mutunga.)

(Ōku ake whakaaro — kia ata mahara: mehemea ko tā tātou e whakapono ai kāore e rite ana ki tā ngā karere i kauwhau ai, nā, ko TĀTOU kē e hē ana, ehara i a rātou. I kite rātou i a Ia, i rongo hoki i a Ia, ā, i tonoa rātou e Ia. Ko te tangata e whakarongo ana ki te Atua, e whakarongo ana ki a rātou. Ko te whakanoho i tētahi kaiwhakaako ki runga ake i ngā apotoro, koia tērā he whakarongo ki te wairua o te hē.)

(Ko aku whakaaro ake — ahakoa i nga ra ake nei o nga apotoro, i whakauru puku etahi tangata, i whakapiko hoki i te whakaakoranga. Kia kaha ake ra i to tatou ao nei, i te mea he maha nga mea e whakaakona nei he mea hou, kahore he pakiaka i te kupu tawhito, kahore ano hoki e tika te whakahaere. Ehara i te mea he pono tetahi mea no te mea he tokomaha nga tangata e whakapono ana ki taua mea, ehara ano hoki i te mea he tawhito i nga mangai o nga tangata. He pono tera mea mena ka rite ki nga mea i tukuna mai e nga karere.)

(Ko ōku whakaaro ake — nā, koinei tonu taua haora: he hunga e kore e whakapono ki te ako pono, engari e kohikohi kaiwhakaako mā rātou anō i runga i te tini — ērā katoa e mātau ana ki te whakamākona i te ngau o ō rātou taringa, e kōrero ana ki a rātou i ngā mea e hiahiatia ana e rātou kia rangona. Ka taea e te tangata te hanga i tētahi whare kaiwhakaako, ko ia katoa e whakaae ana ki a ia, ā, ko ia katoa e hē ana. Kāore rawa i whakamanahia te pono e te nuinga, kāore rawa i whakaponotia e te maha o te hunga e whakapono ana ki a ia, kāore hoki rawa i whakapikoa kia whakamanawareka i te taringa. Tahuri atu i te pono, ā, kua tahuri koe — e ai ki te kupu — ki ngā kōrero pakiwaitara.)

(Ko oku ake whakaaro — kaore tatou i te tino noa ki te whiriwhiri i roto i nga kupu a te Atua, kia mau ki nga mea ngawari me te whakarere i nga mea uaua. E ora ana te tangata i NGA KUPU KATOA. Ki te tapiri atu, ki te tango atu ranei, ka kitea ia he tangata teka i te aroaro o te Atua nana i korero.)

(Ko oku ake whakaaro — anei te kohatu kotahi kei runga i tenei te tokomaha e whakatakoto ai i o ratou tautohetohe katoa: i whakaorangia te tahae e mate ana, e ki ana ratou, a kihai ia i iriiritia; no reira ehara te iriiri i te mea tika kia meatia. Tena, kia paunatia inaianei i roto i te marama o te kupu, kia kite ai tatou he aha te mea e tu ai tena kohatu.)

(Ko ōku ake whakaaro — nā, whakaarohia te tāhae i tēnei tirohanga. Kāore rawa te kupu i kī he tāhae kāore ānō kia iriiria. He mea whakapono noa tā te tangata, ā, hangaia ai e rātou he ako katoa i runga i tō rātou ake whakapono. Engari whakarongo ki tā te kupu e KĪ NEI: ko Hiruharama, me Huria KATOA, me te whenua katoa i tētahi taha o Horano ki tētahi taha, i haere atu, i iriiria hoki, me te whaki i ō rātou hara. I iriiria ngā tāngata noa me ngā kaikohi tāke. I whakapono ngā wahine kairau. Ko ngā Parihi anake me ngā rōia i whakakāhore, ā, kāore i iriiria. Ehara te tāhae i te Parihi — he tangata noa ia, he tāngata hara, ko te momo tonu i huihui mai ki te iriiringa ripeneta a Hoani. Ā, i runga i te ripeka i mahia e ia te mea tonu i mahia ai te iriiringa: i whaki ia i tōna hara — e riro mai ana i a māua te mea e tika ana mō ā māua mahi. Tāpirihia atu ki tērā te meka nā ngā ākonga ake a te Ariki i iriiri i te tokomaha ake i tā Hoani, puta noa i taua whenua, mō ngā tau neke atu i te toru. Nō reira, ko te pono he rerekē rawa i te whakapae: kāore te kupu e ārahi ana i a tātou ki tētahi tāhae kāore rawa i iriiria, engari ki tētahi i tino tata kē kia IRIIRIA hoki i te taha o ērā atu. Ko te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia, kua whakawhirinaki rātou ki tētahi tangata kua horoia kētia.)

(Ko aku whakaaro ake — a me pehea mehemea ko te tino kino rawa atu, kāore rawa ia i iriiria: ahakoa pēnā, ehara ia i te ture mōu. I mate ia i mua i te mana o te kawenata hou. Kāore he mana o te whakaaturanga i te wā e ora tonu ana te kaiwhakarite, ā, kāore anō te ARIKI kia mate. Nā reira i whakaaetia te tāngata nei kia rite ki te tikanga o mua, i mua i te wā i whakapuaretia ai te tatau o tēnei kawenata hou. Ā, i whakairia ia ki runga i te ripeka, i tona ringa me tona waewae, kāore hoki i āhei ki te heke iho ki te iriiria. E hiahia ana te Atua kia ngohengohe te tangata ki tāna e taea ai e ia. Ko tā te tangata e mate ana kīhai i taea, ehara i te take whakawātea mō te tangata ora e taea ana e ia. Kāore koe i te whakairia ki runga i te ripeka; e taea ana e koe te ngohengohe.)

(Ko oku ake whakaaro — na reira ko taua whakapae katoa e whakawhirinaki ana ki tētahi whakaaro kāore rawa te kupu e kī ai. E tū tautohetohe ana ki te taunakitanga mārama e homai nei e te kupu. Koinā he whare i hanga ki runga i te oneone, ā, ka nui tōna hinganga. Engari ko te ture e tū ana i runga i te kōhatu, kāore ano i nekehia: ripeneta, kia iriiria hoki, koutou katoa.)

(Ko ōku ake whakaaro — engari whakarongo hoki ki tēnei mea me te wehi, kaua ki te whakaaro noa iho kua mōhio kē koe ki te katoa. He tokomaha kua whakapae, ā, i hē. Ko mātou hoki e kawe atu nei i ēnei kupu ki a koe, kāhore mātou e kī kua mōhio mātou ki ngā mea katoa. He ākonga tonu mātou, ā, kei te noho takatū kia whakatikaia e te kupu, e rātou hoki i tonoa mai. Engari kāhore mātou e maia ki te whakarerekē i tā ngā karere i kī pū ai. Nā reira tirohia mō koe anō: mēnā kua hē mātou, mā te kupu tātou e whakatikatika. Engari kia tūpato kei pōhēhētia koe i te whakarongo ki ngā reo o te tangata kia nui ake i te reo o ngā apotoro a te Reme. E tirohia ana e mātou tēnei pātai motuhake i tēnei taipitopito hei tauira mō te āhua e taea ai e koe te whakapono tonu ki tētahi mea ahakoa te āhua o te Paipera i te titiro whāititanga, e whakapau kaha ana ki tērā atu taha. Me tika tā tātou wehewehe i te kupu: kāore e taea te tāpiri atu ki a ia, kāore hoki e taea te tango atu i a ia.)
