9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1He teka ianei kei ahau ano nga tikanga moku? he teka ianei he apotoro ahau? kihai ianei ahau i kite i a Ihu Karaiti, i to tatou Ariki? Ehara oti koutou i taku mahi i roto i te Ariki?
2Ahakoa ehara ahau i te apotoro ki era atu, engari rawa ia he apotoro ki a koutou, ko koutou hoki te hiri o toku apotorotanga i roto i te Ariki.
3Ko taku utu tenei ki oku kaiui;
4Kahore ranei i a matou ano te tikanga mo te kai, mo te inu?
5Kahore ranei i a matou ano te tikanga ki te whakahaereere i te hoa wahine, he wahine whakapono, pera i era atu apotoro me nga teina o te Ariki, ratou ko Kipa?
6Ko maua anake ranei ko Panapa, kahore ranei i a maua te tikanga kia kaua e mahi?
7Ko wai ka haere hei hoia, a nana ake ano nga utu mona? Ko wai e whakato ana i te mara waina, a kahore o reira hua e kainga e ia? ko wai hoki e whangai ana i te kahui, a kahore e kai i te waiu o te kahui?
8E korero ana ranei ahau i enei mea i te tikanga tangata? he pera ano ranei ta te ture korero?
9Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi i roto i te ture a Mohi, Kaua e whakamokatia te mangai o te kau i te mea e patu witi ana. Ko nga kau koia ta te Atua i whakaaro ai?
10Mo tatou ranei te tino tikanga o ana korero? Ae, he whakaaro ki a tatou i tuhituhi ai: he tika hoki kia parau te kaiparau i runga i te tumanako, kia patu witi ano te kaipatu i runga i te tumanako ki tetahi wahi mana.
11I te mea kua ruia e matou nga mea wairua ma koutou, he mea nui ianei ki te kotia e matou a koutou mea o te kikokiko?
12Kua uru nei etahi atu ki tenei tikanga a koutou, ko matou ano etahi kia hira ake? Otira kihai matou i mea ki tenei tikanga, engari e whakamanawanui ana ki nga mea katoa, kei ai ta matou hei arai mo te rongopai o te Karaiti.
13Kahore oti koutou i matau, ko te hunga e mahi ana i nga mea tapu, e kai ana i nga mea o te temepara? a ko nga kaitiaki o te aata ma ratou ano tetahi wahi o to te aata?
14Pera tonu ano ta te Ariki i whakatakoto ai mo nga kaikauwhau o te rongopai, hei runga i te rongopai he oranga mo ratou.
15Otiia kihai ahau i mea ki tetahi o enei mea: kahore hoki ahau i tuhituhi i enei mea kia penatia mai ai ahau: ki ahau hoki he pai ke te mate, i te riro ma te tangata taku whakamanamana e whakakahore.
16No te mea ki te kauwhau ahau i te rongopai, kahore maku whakamanamana: kua takoto hoki tenei hei mahi maku; he aue ia maku ki te kore ahau e kauwhau i te rongopai.
17Ki te mea hoki noku te ngakau ki tenei mahi, he utu toku: ki te kore ia he ngakau, he mahi tuari tenei kua tukua ki ahau.
18Na, he aha koia te utu moku? ara, ki te kauwhau ahau i te rongopai, ka meinga e ahau kia kore e utua te rongopai: kia kore ai ahau e mea i te wahi e tika ana maku i roto i te rongopai.
19Ahakoa hoki ehara ahau i te pononga na te tangata, heoi kua waiho ahau e ahau ano hei pononga ma te katoa, kia tokomaha atu ai e riro mai i ahau.
20Na ki nga Hurai whakahurai ana ahau, kia riro ai i ahau nga Hurai; ki te hunga i raro i te ture me te mea i raro ahau i te ture, ahakoa ra kahore ahau i raro i te ture, kia riro ai i ahau te hunga i raro i te ture;
21Ki te hunga turekore me he tangata turekore ahau, ehara i te mea he turekore ki te Atua, engari i raro i te ture ki a te Karaiti, kia riro ai i ahau te hunga turekore.
22Ki te hunga ngoikore me he ngoikore ahau, kia riro ai i ahau te hunga ngoikore; waiho ana ahau hei mea katoa ki te katoa, kia taea ai e ahau nga mea katoa hei whakaora i etahi.
23I meinga ai tenei e ahau he whakaaro ki te rongopai, kia whiwhi tahi ai ahau ki tona pai.
24Kahore oti koutou i matau ki te hunga e oma whakataetae ana, e oma katoa ana, kotahi ano ia mona te utu whakahonore? Kia pena ta koutou oma, kia whiwhi ai koutou.
25Na ko nga tangata katoa e whakataetae ana i nga takaro e whakakoromaki ana i nga hiahia katoa. Na e pera ana ratou kia whiwhi ai ki te karauna pirau; ko tatou ia ki te mea e kore e pirau.
26Ko ahau nei hoki, kahore i ngaro taku oma; e kuru ana ahau, kahore ia e rite ki te kaipatu o te hau:
27Engari e pehia ana e ahau toku tinana, meinga ana hoki hei pononga maku; kei kauwhau pea ahau ki etahi atu, ko ahau ia ka akiritia atu.
