A TATOU TAONGA-OHA I ROTO I TE HAHI.
Upoko VII.—TE HAPA TAPE. Kite motu ke i ahau e kore tetahi mea e taea e koutou. n Hoani 155. "I e whakahaere tino tika ko n ? a mea katoa i mahia e tatou hei nono 1 a tatou ki te Atua 1 roto Ite Kotahitanea Tapu. n —A hut ini. v NGA Hakarameta e rua, te Iriiri mete Hapa, epa ana kite noho a wairua o te Karaiti i roto i pa pakau o te hupa e \hakapono ana ki a ia. Eai kite korero a Huka, na te Iriiri i timata tana orapa o te Karaiti i roto i te tapata \hakapono, na te Hapa i \hakatipu. E tha pa pukapuka o te Kawenata Hone \hakaatu ana ki a tatou i ta te Karaiti \hakatakotorapa ite Hapa. Hei \hakaatu tenei ki a tatou i te nui o tenei mea. He mea pai kia mahara tatou ki pa \hakaaro o pa Akop a a te Karaiti i tana korerotapa ai ki a ratou mo tona tinana me ona toto. I a ia e mea ana, “ Ko toku tinana tenei i tapaea atu mo koutou “ e rhakaaro ana ratou kite Reme o te Kapepa e takoto ana i to ratou aroaro. Ko te Kapepa he tino ritepa na pa Hurai e kaipa ana e ratou i tena tau i tena-tau hei rhakamaratapa mo te Kawenata a te Atua i meipa ai ratou hei iwi \hiri\hiri raana. Ki ta ratou \hakaaro e \hakarite ana a te Karaiti i a ia kite Reme ote Kapepa hei kaipa ma ana akopa pera mete tino Reme e kaipa nei e ratou i tenei tau i tenei tau. Mo ana kupu, " Ko tenei Kapate Kawenata Hou i rupa i oku toto," i \hakaritea e ratou ki etahi tikapa e rua a ratou apa Hurai. Tuatahi i rhakaritea e ratou ki pa toto o te Reme i vhakaherea i te ahiahi ki rupa i te aata. Tuarua i \hakaritea e ratou ki pa toto i vhakahekea e Mohi i maupa Hinai i te wa i homai ai pa Ture. E korerotia ana i muri ote homaitapa i pa Ture, " Ka rnau a Mohi kite toto, a taia atu ana eia kite iwi, mete ki ano, nana, te toto nei o te Kawenata a \hakaritea nei e Ihowa ki a koutou mo enei mea katoa." — Eh. 24 4 - 8 . He korero enei e mohioti ana e pa Hurai katoa, na reira i a te Karaiti e mea ana i te waina, ko te Kawenata Hou i rupa i ona toto, ka hoki pa \hakaaro o ana akopa kite homaitapa o pa Ture o te Kawenata Ta\hito.
Ka kitea e tatou ki enei korero i waiho e te Karaiti enei ritega a ga Hurai hei tauira mo tenei tikaga tapu ana. Ehara ano ite mea ko enei anake ana tikaga i \hakaaro ai hei tauirataga mana. Egari e \hakaaro ana ano ia ki a ratou Ttakahere totokore, kite paraoa ki te hinu kite waina. I waiho eia ko enei hei dmkaritega mo tana Rapa Tapu, ko te tikaga ia o roto ko tera e vhakaaturia ra ega \hakahere toto. Rite tonu tenei ki tana tikaga ata%hai, ara kaore ona hiahia kia vhakamamaelia ga Kararehe ora hei \hakamarataga mo tana mahi pai, egari ko ga hua pai o te \henua i mahia nei e te tagata kia tipu hei oraga mona. He penei te vhakaaro o ga Apotoro i a ratou e \hakarogo ana ki ga korero a te Karaiti. Otira i mohio ano ratou tera atu ano te hohonutaga o enei korero : e rite ana ki ana kupu i korero ai i mua atu, i te wa i \hagaia ai e ia ga mano e rima, i mea ai ia, " Ko ia e kai ana i oku kikokiko, e inu ana i oku toto, e noho ana i roto i an me ahau hold i roto i a ia." Inaianei ka rogo ano ratou ki a ia e mea ana, " Kaiga, Inumia, ko toku tinana tenei, ko oku toto enei." Ka \hakaaro ratou e \hakatakotoria ana e ia tetahi tikaga e kaiga-a-wairuatia ai e ratou tona tina me ona toto, a ko te take o taua kai hei huarahi mai mo tana manaakitaga e kiia ra e ia—ka noho ia i roto i a ratou, me ratou hoki i roto i a ia.
Tena kia ata tirohia e tatou he aha ga tino tikaga i \hakaritea ai tenei Hakarameta. E rua ga tino take e kitea ana : He mea e \hai kaha ai e \hai manawa ai te huga \hakapono i te mea ka drakakotahitia nei e taua Hakarameta ki a te Karaiti ki a ratou ano hoki ; he tikaga ano hoki e \hakamaharatia ai e te Hahi te matega o te Karaiti.
(i) He tino kupu enei—"Te kai i oku kikokiko mete inu i oku toto ;" hei \hakaatu ki a tatou i te " Kotahitaga o te huga \hakapono ki a te Karaiti. ;Kaore he kai-thakaako nui o mua atu i a ia i korero’ penei ki a ratou na akoga ; no te mea kaore to ratou na ahua ki a ratou akoga i rite ki to te Karaiti ahua ki ana akoga. Na te Karaiti i kawe mai te oraga hou kite ao, na reirako tona ahua ki ana akoga e rite ana ki to Arama ahua kite tagata. Egari he nui ake ano to te Karaiti ahua ki ana akoga i to Arama ahua kite tagata. No te mea ahakoa ko Arama te putake mai o te tagata, ehara ia i te putake mai o te oraga o te tagata. Ko te Karaiti ia te putake mai o te oraga hou, koia i rite ai ia ki a Arama; egari ko ia tonu taua oraga hou, koia i nui ake ai ia i a Arama. I te mea ko te Karaiti tonu tenei oraga hou, ka marama tatou kite take i \hakahau ai ia kia kaiga tona tinana, kia inumia ona
toto, hei mea e noho tonu ai ia i roto i te huga e kai ana, me ratou hoki i roto i a ia. Ka rite enei korero ki a Mohi i korero ra kite \hanktr 0 Iharaira, i mea ra, " Kei roto i te toto te oraga o te kikokiko, kua hoatu ano e ahau ki a koutou mo ruga i te Aaata, hei \hakamarietaga mo o koutou wairua : ko te toto hoki te mea hei \hakamarietaga mo te wairua." Na ga kupu a te Karaiti e mea nei ka noho ia i roto i te huga e kai ana i ona kikokiko, e inu ana i ona toto, me ratou hoki i roto i a ia, 1 \hakapono ai tatou kei roto ano a te Karaiti i te huga e kai ana i ona kikokiko e inu ana i ona toto. Egari ko te ahua o taua noho kaore i pera me ta te Hahi o Roma e mea nei. Ka mohio ano hoki tatou e he ana te ki he \hakamaharataga kau tenei Plakarameta i te mates' ote Karaiti. He mea pai kia mahara tatou kite kore ote Karaiti i hiahia kite \hakakaha i te diakaaro o ga tagata i patai ra, " Me pe\hea e homai ai e tenei tagata ona kikokiko kia kaiga e tatou." I mea ia i roto i tana \hakahoki, " Ko te wairua te \hakaora ana, kaore ate kikokiko wahi; he wairua he or iga ga kupu e korero nei ahau ki a koutou." Ko te tikaga o ga kupu a te Karaiti ehara i te mea he kai Maori i ona kikokiko, egari he tikaga wairua me tona manaakitaga he mea wairua ano. Kia mahara hoki kia kaua tatou e tahuri kite rapu maramataga mo ga mea o tenei Hakarameta e kore nei e taea te \hakamarama—ara i te ahua o te manaakitaga e riro ana mai i te tagata e tago ana ; i te ahua ranei 0 te tohu o waho kite mea wairua e \hakaaturia ana i roto ; i te ahua ranei o te noho a te Karaiti i roto i te tagata e tago ana i tenei Hakarameta : he mea enei kaore e taea te \hakamarama, a kei \hakamatau noa tatou ki te rapu ite maramataga. Waiho tonu i ruga 1 ta te Karaiti i \hakatakoto ai: ko te kaha mete ora ote wairua ite Hapa ate Ariki kei ia tagata, kei ia tagata e mohio ana. Kaore e kitea nuitia i waho. He pena ano tetahi tikaga o te Hapa, ara tera e kiia ra e Paora, " He kaigatahitana no te tinana ote Karaiti." Ko te tino \hakanuiga o te \hakapono o te tagata e ahei ai tona wairua te noho i ga wahi tapu o te ragi, he mea ano kaore e kitea e te kanohi.
