A TATOU TAONGA-OHA I ROTO I TE HAHI.
Upoko VII.—TE HAPA TAPU. KUA \hakaaturia i ruga ake nei e rua ga tino tikaga o tenei Hakarameta o te Hapa-tuatahi, he mea e \hai kaha ai e \haimanawa ai te huga rhakapono i te mea ka \hakakotahitia nei e taua Hakarameta Id te Ariki ki a Ihu ; he tikaga hoki e rhakamaharatia ai e te Hahi te matega o te Karaiti. Ko te rhakamarama i te wahi tuatahi ka mutu atu i tera putaga o ta tatou manu, he rhakamarama ake enei kupu e \hai ake nei i te take tuarua. Ko tetahi tikaga o te Hapa a Te Ariki he rhakamaharataga; ko ana kupu i mea ai—- " Meiga tenei hei rhakamaharataga ki au." E ki ana etahi tagata ko te kupu e mea nei " meiga" ehara tena i tona tino tikaga, egari " \hakaritea." Ko te \hakarite te tino tikaga o taua kupu. Ko te kupu " rhakamahara" e rhakahuatia tonutia ana i roto i te Kawanata Ta\hito mo etahi o ga tikaga a ga Hurai. Ko etahi o aua tikaga e meiga ana Ida puritia e ratou hei \hakamaharataga : pera mete \hakakakara e waiho ana i ruga i ga Taro-aroaro {Rew. 24 7 ) ; pera ano hoki mega Tetere e rhakatagihia ana i ga ra koa (Tan. io 10 ). Waihoki i \hakaritea e te Karaiti tana Hapa hei \hakamaharataga ki a ia. Kei mea tatou he \hakahou ano tenei i te matega o te Karaiti. Kaore hoki taua matega ona e taea ano te \hakahou. Kotahi ano tona rhakaitiga i a ia, tona matega, a kei te wahi koraria ia o te Atua e noho ana: kaore hoki ea e taea te rhakahoki ano ki tona matega ; kaore tonu ano hoki e taea te \hakahou tana muruga i ga hara o te ao. Ko te tikaga o ta tatou \hakamahara i a te Karaiti i roto i te Hapa, ehara i te mea ko tona matega anake, egari ko tona nohoaga mai ano i te ragi—"hei Tohuga i ruga i te ritega a Merekihereke," hei kai korero mo tatou kite Atua ; a na tona aroha nui ka riro atu ano hoki tatou i a ia, ara te Hahi, ki reira noho tahi ai me ia. E mea ana hoki a Paora i a Epeha 2°—" A \hakaarahia gatahitia ana me ia, a rhakanohoia tahitia ana ki ga wahi o te ragi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu." Ko te kupu a te Karaiti e mea nei mo ona toto i vhakahekea e tautoko ana i te tikaga
kua \hakamaramatia ake nei. Te tikaga o taua kupu " \hakahekea," i roto i te Kawenata Tarhito ehara i te mea mo te hekega anake o ga toto o te kararehe, egari mo te tauhiuhitaga ano hoki o aua toto ki ruga kite Aata. E tautokona ana ano hoki tenei tikaga ega Apotoro. E mea ana hoki a Paora, "Iga wa katoa hoki e kai ai koutou i tenei taro, e inu ai i tenei kapa, e \hakaritea ana e koutou te matega o te Karaiti kia tae mai rano ia." E mea ana ano ia i ga Hipem io 19 ' 22 . " Ka ai nei ga toto o Ihu hei take e maia ai tatou te tomo kite tino wahi tapu, hei ara hou mo tatou ara he mea \hakatapu nana e tika atu ana na te arai ara na tona kikokiko ; kia \hakatata atu tatou i ruga i te gakau pono, i te \hakapono e tino u ana, he mea tauhiuhi te gakau kia kore ai te hinegaro kino, he mea horoi ano hoki te tinana kite wai marama." Ka marama ki a tatou te tikaga o te kupu a te Karaiti e mea nei, " Hei \hakamaharataga ki au." Kaore ia i mea hei \hakamaharataga, egari ki aia i male, i ara ake, i kake atu hoki kite ragi, e noho mai nei i te rigariga matau o te Atua hei takawaega mo tatou. Ko te rhakaako ano tenei a ga kaumatua o te Hahi i muri iho ga Apotoro ; a Ikinatiu, a Hutini Matira, a Iranui, a te pukapuka e karagatia nei ko te \hakaakoraga a ga Apotoro. E \hakaakona ana ano hoki taua tikaga nei e ga pukapuka karakia a te Hahi onamata :e te Rawiri o Hiruharama, e to Arehanaria, eto Roma, e to Epeha me era atu o aua pukapuka pera. Ahakoa kaore tahi he rhakaalu a tetahi hui nui o mua mo tenei tikaga, ko te rite oga \hakaako a ga kaumatua me a ratou pukapuka karakia e rite noa atu ana kite \hakatau ate hui nui. Ko te tikaga tenei ate Hahi onamata, ko te tikaga ano hoki a te Hahi o Igarani. _ Pevhea te rhakaako a te wahaga o te Hahi ki Niu Tireni nei i tenei Hakararneta ki ana tagata ? Nui atu te marama o tana tohutohu. Tuatahi: E mea ana ia i roto i te Katikihama, " Ko te tinana ko ga toto o te Karaiti e riro pono ana mai i te huga \hakapono ina kaiga te Hapa a te Ariki." Tuarua: E mea ana ia i te '\hakahauhau tuatahi o te karakia o te Hapa, " Kia \haka■\hetai atu tatou kite Atua Matua mona i homai i a Ihu Karaiti kia mate mo tatou, kia meiga hoki hei kai ma tatou i roto i te Hakarameta." Tuatoru : E mea ana ia i roto i te \hakahauhau tuatoru o te Karakia Tago Hapa, Ko reiia tatou noho ai i roto i a te Karaiti mete Karaiti hoki i roto i a tatou." Tua\ha : E mea ana ia i roto i te Inoi i mua
atu i te thakatapuga o te Taro mete Waina, " Kia meiga Ida tika ta tatou kai i ona kikokiko, inu i ona toto, kia ma ai 6 tatou tinana hara i tona tinana, kia horoia ai hoki o tatou, wairua ki ona toto utu nui, kia noho tonu ai hoki tatou i roto i a ia me ia hoki i roto i a tatou." Tuarima : E mea ana ia i muri iho i te kaiga i te Hapa, “ He thaka\hetai atu tenei na matou ki a koe, mou i pai te rhagai i a matou, i te huga kua tago nei i tenei Hakarameta tapu, ki aua mea utu nui, kite tinana, ki ga toto o tau Tama, o tou matou kai \hakaora, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kaiga i roto i o matou gakau." Ko te tohutohu tenei a te Hahi i Niu Tireni nei, me ta te Hahi matua ano hoki i Igarani, i te tino tikaga o ta tatou tago i te Hapa a te Ariki. Ehara i te mea e tapae atu anake ana tatou i a tatou \haka'\hetai kite Atua, egari e thakamahara atu ana ano hoki ki a ia i te matega, i te Araga, mete kakega o tana Tama me ta tatou tapae atu ano i o tatou tinana me o tatou wairua hei \hakahaere e manakohia ana e ia i roto i to tatou Ariki i a Ihu Karaiti. Marama tonu ano hoki ta te Hahi \hakaatu mai i ga manaakitaga e riro mai ana i' te tagata ina kaiga taua Hakarameta. E kiia ana i te Katikihama, “ Ma reira ara ma te Tinana, ma ga Toto o te Karaiti, ka \hai wanawa ai, ka \hai kaha ai o tatou wairua, e rite ana kite Taro kite waina e \hakakaha nei i o tatou tinana. E mea ana ano hoki i te \haka\hetai tuarua i muri iho i te tagohaga i te Hapa, " He \hakapumau hoki tenei nau i to aroha ki a matou, he \hakaatu mai hoki i to matou uga ki roto i tau Tama hei wahi mo tona tinana." Na te marama o te \hakaatu mai a te Hahi ki ga manaakitaga e riro mai ana i te huga e tago ana i tenei Hakarameta i mea ai ia kia kaua e takiwa te tago a te tagata \hakapono i tenei Hakarameta iana te \hakahau i roto i te Karakia Tago Hapa, mete Rupiriki i mua atu i te tagohaga a te Turoro i te Hapa. Ahakoa tino marama te diakaatu mai a te Hahi i enei manaakitaga e riro mai ana i te tagata kaore ia i te kuare ki ana mea he mea Wairua. Ko te huga e tago ana me \hakatata atu i ruga i te gakau \hakapono, ka kitea e tatou e rite katoa ana i a tatou ga tohutohu mai a te Kawenata Hou mo tenei mea mo te Hakarameta mega tohutohu ano hoki a ga Kaumatua a te Hahi o Onamata, kia noho i ruga i te tumanako i te inoi hoki kite Atua kia hoki mai ki tenei ritega, te huga i tetahi taha o tatou i tetahi taha kia kotahi ko tenei hei ritega ma te Hahi katoa. Kia \hakapono ano hoki tatau kite tika o enei manaakitaga
a kia waiho auau ta tatou tapo i tenei Hakarameta hei -\hakakaha i o tatou Wairua.
