1 Kings 2:5-9

Maori Bible

⁵ Na e mohio ana hoki koe ki ta Ioapa tama a Teruia i mea ai ki ahau, ki tana i mea ai ki nga rangatira ope tokorua o Iharaira, ki a Apanere tama a Nere, ki a Amaha tama a Ietere, i patua ra e ia, a whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai i te wa o te rangimarie, whakahekea ana nga toto o te whawhai ki tona whitiki i tona hope, ki ona hu i ona waewae.

⁶ Na kia rite tau e mea ai ki tau i matau ai, a kaua e tukua tona upoko hina kia heke atu ki te rua i runga i te rangimarie.

⁷ Kia puta ia tou aroha ki nga tama a Paratirai Kireari, kia uru hoki ratou ki te hunga e kai ana ki tau tepu: i pera hoki ratou, i whakatau ki ahau i toku rerenga i tou tuakana, i a Apoharama.

⁸ Na kei a koe na a Himei tama a Kera o Pineamine, o Pahurimi, tera i kanga ra ki ahau, kino atu te kanga, i te ra i haere ai ahau ki Mahanaima: otiia i haere mai ki ahau ki raro, ki Horano ki te whakatau i ahau, a oatitia ana a Ihowa e ahau ki a i a; i mea ahau, E kore ahau e whakamate i a koe ki te hoari.

⁹ Na kaua ia e meinga he harakore, he tangata mohio hoki koe, a e matau ana ki tau e mea ai ki a ia; engari kia heke tona upoko hina ki te rua i runga i te toto.
