Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te whakaaro nui: ko te mohio ki te mea tapu ko te matauranga. Maku hoki ka maha ai ou ra, a ka maha ake nga tau e ora ai koe (Whakatauki 9:10,11)
Kaore he maha o nga korero mo te wehi ki a Ihowa. I te mea e kii ana te Kupu, ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te whakaaro nui. Ka rongo te tangata mo te wehi ki a Ihowa, e pinepine ratou i te mana‘o no nia i te hoê Atua, e piu kino ana ki te hepeta, a me wehi koe. Engari ehara tera te tikanga, te Kupu homai. Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa ehara i te wehi, i te mataku.
He aha te tikanga o te wehi ki a Ihowa?
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te tikanga o te wehi, whakaute, me te tohutoro mo te Atua Kaha Rawa; te Kaihanga o te rangi me te whenua, a kei roto katoa o roto. Ko ia te Atua teitei, kahore hoki he rite mona.
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te tikanga, kia whakanuia e koe ia, a Aroha ki a ia i runga ake i te katoa me runga ake i nga tangata katoa, a ma koutou e mea nga mea e pai ana ki a ia. Ki te hiahia koe ki te pai ki a ia, ka whiriwhiri koe ki te noho i roto i tana i pai ai, no reira ka pai koe Kia mau ki Ana whakahau.
Ehara i te mea me mahi koe, engari no te mea e hiahia ana koe.
Ua here outou Ia'na, a kare koe e pai ki te mahi i tetahi mea ka pa ki a ia, ka puta he wehenga i waenganui i a ia me koe.
Te tutu ki te Atua (hara) ka puta te wehenga. Koinei te take kaore koe e pai ki te haere i roto i te tutu, engari i runga i te ngohengohe ki te Atua.
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te whakaaro nui
Ki te hiahia koe ki te whiwhi whakaaro nui, katahi ka timata katoa ma te wehi ki a Ihowa. Ka wehi koe ki a Ihowa, me tuku koe ki a ia, whakarongo ki a ia me te mahi i tana e pai ai kia mahia e koe.
E hiahia ana ia ki te pai mo to oranga. No reira kua hoatu e ia tana kupu me ana whakahau ki a koe. Kaore ia e hiahia ana ki te tuku i a koe ki tetahi huinga ture, engari e hiahia ana ia kia mohio koe ki a ia me te mohio ki tona hiahia. Te hinaaro nei oia ia ite outou i te mea maitai e te mea ino, kia nekehia atu ai e koe tou waewae i te kino.
Kei te hiahia te Atua ki te tiaki ia koe i te kino me te tiaki ia koe i te kino ka taea e koe anake te mahi mehemea kei a koe te whakaaro nui. Na, ka haere koe i runga i ana ture, ka haere koe i runga i te whakaaro nui (Ko te whakaaro nui o te Ariki, ehara i tenei ao).
Kia mohio koe ki te Atua, Te Matua, a ka whiwhi koe i te matauranga
Ko te huarahi anake ki te mohio ki te Matua ko tana kupu (Ihu). Kaore he huarahi ke atu. Ka mohio koe ki tona hiahia (na roto i Ta’na mau faaueraa). Ka mohio koe ki a ia, no reira ka kitea e koe te mohio.
Ka mea a Ihu: “ko te tangata e aroha ana ki ahau, ka pupuri i aku whakahau”
Mena ka tino aroha koe ki a ia me te whakanui i a ia me te wehi me te whakaute ki a ia, ka koe Kia mau ki Ana whakahau a ka haere koe i runga i tana e pai ai; i runga i te whakaaro nui me te mohio.
Ko ia te Kaiwhakaora i te ora
Ripeneta ka tahuri ki te Ariki a ka whakanuia e ia ou ra, a ka maha ake nga tau e ora ai koe.
Te rewera me ana minita; tahae rewera, te pahua me te whakangaro i nga oranga, na roto i te raveraa i te ohipa ino (mamae, pouri, mate, mate, whakaaro kino, etc) i roto i te kikokiko; te tinana me te wairua. Ko ta ratou mara tena.
Ko Ihowa ia te Kaiwhakaora; te ora mure ore. Ki te whakaae koe a Ihu hei Kaiwhakaora, ka waiho ia hei Ariki mo to oranga me te haere i runga i tana e pai ai; I roto i ana ture, katahi koe ka haere i runga i te whakaaro nui, i te matauranga.
Ka maha ou ra, ka neke ake ano nga tau e ora ai koe. A e kore e mutu i runga i tenei whenua, engari ka haere tonu. E kore koe e kite i te mate, engari ka ora tonu koutou ki a ia. Ehara i te mea nui!
'Kia tote mo te whenua’
