Ngā Kaiāwhina Tokowhitu
1Nā, i aua rā, i te mea ka tokomaha haere ngā ākonga ka amuamu ngā Hūrai Kariki ki ngā Hiperu, nō te mea i mahue ō rātou pouaru i ngā tūwhanga mea o tēnei rā, o tēnei rā. 2Kātahi, ka karangatia e te tekau mā rua te mano o ngā ākonga, ka mea, “E kore e pai kia whakarērea e mātou te kupu a te Atua, ā, kia mahi tēpu. 3Nō reira, e ngā tēina, tirohia mai i roto i a koutou kia tokowhitu ngā tāngata e kōrerotia paitia ana, e kī ana i te Wairua Tapu, i te mātauranga, ā, mā mātou rātou e whakatū ki tēnei mahi. 4Ko mātou ia ka ū tonu ki te īnoi, ki te mahi i te kupu.”
5Ā, pai katoa te mano ki taua kōrero; nā, whiriwhiria ana e rātou a Tepene, he tangata e kī ana i te whakapono, i te Wairua Tapu, rātou ko Piripi, ko Porokoru, ko Nikanora, ko Timona, ko Paramena, ko Nīkora, he porohiraiti nō Anatioka. 6Nā, whakatūria ana rātou ki te aroaro o ngā āpōtoro; ka īnoi ērā, ka whakapā i ngā ringa ki runga ki a rātou.
7Heoi, tupu ana te kupu a te Atua. Tino nui haere ana te tokomaha o ngā ākonga i Hiruhārama; ā, he ope nui o ngā tohunga i tahuri mai ki te whakapono.
Te Hopukanga o Tepene
8Ā, ko Tepene, kī tonu i te whakapono, i te mana, nui atu ngā merekara me ngā tohu i meatia e ia i roto i te iwi. 9Nā, ka whakatika ētahi o te whakaminenga, e kīia nei ko te whakaminenga o ngā Riperetini, ētahi hoki o te whakaminenga o te hunga o Hairini, o te hunga o Arēhānaria, o te hunga hoki o Kirikia, o Āhia, ka totohe ki a Tepene. 10Otirā, kīhai i taea e rātou te tū atu ki tōna mātauranga me te wairua i kōrero ai ia.
11Nā, ka whakakīkī rātou i ētahi tāngata hei mea, “I rongo mātou i a ia e kōrero kohukohu ana mō Mohi, mō te Atua anō hoki.”
12Nā, ka tahuri rātou ki te whakaohooho i te iwi, i ngā kaumātua, me ngā karaipi hoki, nā, ka mau ia i a rātou, hopukia ana, kawea atu ana ki te rūnanga. 13Ā, whakatūria ana e rātou ētahi kaiwhakapae teka, nāna i mea, “Kāhore e mutu te kōrero kino a tēnei tangata mō tēnei kāinga tapu, mō te ture hoki; 14i rongo hoki mātou ki a ia e mea ana, Mā tēnei Īhu o Nahareta e whakangaro te kāinga nei, e whakaputa kē hoki ngā ritenga i hōmai e Mohi ki a tātou.”
15Ā, ko te hunga katoa e noho ana i te rūnanga, ka titiro pū ki a ia, ka kite i tōna mata, ānō he mata nō te anahera.
