ki te Putanga 2012 o te Paipera Tapu
Ko tēnei putanga o te Paipera Tapu he tautikanga roa tonu o te tānga-pukapuka o ngā Karaipiture Tapu i roto i te reo Māori.
Ko te Kawenata Hou i tā-pukapukatia i te tuatahi i te tau 1837, ā, me te Paipera katoa, te Paipera Tapu, i te tau 1868. Muri mai i te āhua maha tonu o ngā whakahoutanga whakatau wawe, he kōmiti, nā Tā Apirana Ngata i arataki, i whakaoti i te whakaputanga katoa o te tuhinga tuatahi o te paiperatanga hou me te punenga reo Māori. I tā-pukapukatia i te tuatahi i te tau 1952, ā, ka noho tonu hei tuhinga paearu i tēnei wā.
Nā tēnei putanga whakataka anō i whakarewa i te tuhinga whakahou o te Paipera Tapu i te tau 1952. Kua whakareia tōna whakatakotoranga āhua maha tonu mō te kaipānui reo Māori o nāianei: kua whakaurua ngā tohutō hei whakaatu i te roa o te oro; kua tāpiria ngā tohu kōrero, ā, kua āta whakahoutia ngā tohutuhi. Kua whakaurua ngā whiti, ā, kua tāpiria he wāhanga ūpoko. I tā-pukapuka tuatahitia tēnei Kawenata Hou i roto i tēnei whakataka ahurei i Hakihea 2008.
Ko te reo Māori tuhinga paiperatanga he whakamāori hira me te tika hoki o ngā tuhinga taketake te Kawenata Tahito me te Kawenata Hou o Hiperu, Aramaka me Kariki. Ko te tuhinga reo Māori ka taea te kī he kāhua-mō-te-kāhua whakamāori, te tino whai atu ana i te hanga o ngā haurārangi tuhituhinga taketake ki tā te reo Māori e whakaritea ana.
Ka mihi atu Ngā Ringa Hāpai i te Paipera Tapu ki Aotearoa (Bible Society New Zealand) mō ngā āwhina a Te Pīhopitanga o Aotearoa, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, me ētahi atu, tae atu ki ngā tūao tataukore, nā rātou i oti ai tēnei putanga.
