He stripped off first one robe of honor and then another until, naked, He was fastened to the cross. There He emptied His inmost self, pouring out His lifeblood, giving Himself for all of us. Finally, they laid Him in a borrowed grave. How low was our dear Redeemer brought! How then, can we be proud? Stand at the foot of the cross and count the scarlet drops by which you have been cleansed. See the thorny crown and His scourged shoulders still gushing with the crimson flow of blood. See His hands and feet given up to the rough iron, and His whole self mocked and scorned. See the bitterness, the pangs, and the throes of inward grief show themselves in His outward frame. Hear the chilling shriek, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). If you are not humbled in the presence of Jesus, you do not know Him. You were so lost that nothing could save you but the sacrifice of God’s only begotten Son. As Jesus stooped for you, bow in humility at His feet. A realization of Christ’s amazing love has a greater tendency to humble us than even a consciousness of our own guilt. Pride cannot live beneath the cross. Let us sit there and learn our lesson. Then let us rise and carry it into practice.

23:1 ¶ I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

23:2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko nga hakari nunui a Ihowa, e karangatia e koutou hei huihuinga tapu, ko enei aku hakari.

23:3 E ono nga ra e mahia ai te mahi; ko te whitu ia o nga ra he hapati okiokinga, he huihuinga tapu: kaua tetahi mahi e mahia: he hapati tena no Ihowa, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

23:4 ¶ Ko nga hakari nunui enei a Ihowa, ko nga huihuinga tapu e karangatia e koutou i nga wa e rite ai.

23:5 Kei te marama tuatahi, kei te tekau ma wha o te marama, i te ahiahi, ko te kapenga a Ihowa.

23:6 A i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o taua marama ano ko te hakari taro rewenakore a Ihowa: e whitu nga ra e kai ai koutou i te taro rewenakore.

23:7 Hei te ra tuatahi he huihuinga tapu ma koutou: kaua tetahi mahi a te kaimahi e mahia.

23:8 Engari kia whitu nga ra e whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere ahi ma Ihowa; a i te whitu o nga ra he huihuinga tapu: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi.

23:9 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

23:10 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e hoatu e ahau ki a koutou, a ka kotia ona hua, me kawe mai tetahi paihere o nga hua mataati o ta koutou kotinga ki te tohunga:

23:11 A mana e poipoi te paihere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kia manakohia ai mo koutou: me poipoi e te tohunga i te aonga ake o te hapati.

23:12 Me whakahere ano hoki i te ra e poipoia ai e koutou te paihere, he reme toa, hei te mea kohakore, hei te tau tahi, hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.

23:13 A, ko te whakahere totokore, kia rua nga whakatekau o te epa paraoa, he mea konatu ki te hinu, hei whakahere ahi ma Ihowa, hei kakara reka: me waina hoki tona ringihanga, ko te whakawha o te hine.

23:14 Kaua ano hoki e kai i te taro, i te mea pahuhu, i nga puku hou ranei, kia taea ra ano te tino ra e kawea ai te whakahere ki to koutou Atua: he tikanga pumau ma o koutou whakatupuranga i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

23:15 ¶ Me tatau ano e koutou i te aonga ake o te hapati, i te ra i kawea ai te paihere mo te whakahere poipoi; kia tino rite nga hapati e whitu:

23:16 Kia tae ra ano ki te aonga ake o te whitu o nga hapati ta koutou tatau i nga ra e rima tekau; ka whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere totokore, i te mea hou ki a Ihowa.

23:17 Me kawe mai e koutou i roto i o koutou nohoanga, kia rua nga taro poipoi e rua nei o raua whakatekau o te epa: he mea paraoa, he mea i tunua rewenatia, a ko nga tuapora ena ma Ihowa.

23:18 Me whakahere tahi ano me te taro kia whitu nga reme, hei te mea kohakore, hei te tau tahi, me tatahi puru kuao, me nga hipi toa e rua: hei tahunga tinana ena ki a Ihowa, te whakahere totokore ano hoki, me nga ringihanga, hei whakahere ahi, hei k akara reka ki a Ihowa.

23:19 Na ka whakaherea tetahi koati toa hei whakahere hara, kia rua ano hoki nga reme toa, hei te tau tahi, hei patunga mo te pai.

23:20 Me poipoi ngatahi e te tohunga me te taro o nga tuapora, hei whakahere poipoi, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me nga reme e rua: ka tapu ena ki a Ihowa ma te tohunga.

23:21 Me karanga ano i taua tino ra he huihuinga tapu ma koutou: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi: he tikanga pumau i o koutou nohoanga katoa, ma o koutou whakatupuranga.

23:22 A ka kotia nga hua o to koutou whenua, kaua e tino whakapotoa nga kokonga o tau mara ina kotia e koe, kaua ano hoki e hamua nga toenga o au hua: me waiho ma te rawakore, ma te manene: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

23:23 ¶ I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

23:24 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Hei te whitu o nga marama, hei te tuatahi o te marama, he hapati ma koutou, he whakamaharatanga, he whakatangihanga tetere, he huihuinga tapu.

23:25 Kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi; engari me whakahere he whakahere ahi ma Ihowa.

23:26 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

23:27 Ko te tekau ano hoki o tenei marama, o te whitu, hei ra whakamarietanga; hei huihuinga tapu tena ma koutou; me whakapouri hoki o koutou wairua; me whakahere ano hoki he whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

23:28 A kaua rawa e mahia he mahi i taua rangi; he ra whakamarie hoki tena, e mainga ai he whakamarie mo koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.

23:29 Na, ko te wairua e kore e whakapouritia i taua ra, ka hatepea atu i roto i tona iwi.

23:30 Ki te mahia hoki e tetahi wairua tetahi mahi i taua ra, ka whakangaromia e ahau taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.

23:31 Kei mahia tetahi mahi: he tikanga pumau tena ma o koutou whakatupuranga i o koutou nohoanga katoa.

23:32 Hei hapati okiokinga tena mo koutou, me whakapouri o koutou wairau; me whakahapati ta koutou hapati i te iwa o te marama i te ahiahi; i te ahiahi a tae noa ki tetahi ahiahi.

23:33 ¶ I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

23:34 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ko te kotahi tekau ma rima o nga ra o tenei marama, o te whitu, te hakari whare wharau ki a Ihowa, kia whitu nga ra.

23:35 Hei te ra tuatahi he huihuinga tapu: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi.

23:36 E whitu nga ra e whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa: hei te ra waru he huihui tapu mo koutou; a ka whakahere he whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa: he huihui nui tena, kaua te mahi a te kaimahi e mahia.

23:37 Ko nga hakari enei a Ihowa e karangatia e koutou hei huihui tapu, hei whakaherenga mo te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, mo te tahunga tinana, mo te whakahere totokore, mo te patunga tapu, mo nga ringihanga, tenei mea i tona rangi, tenei mea i tona ra ngi:

23:38 Haunga nga hapati a Ihowa, haunga a koutou mea homai noa, haunga a koutou ki taurangi katoa, haunga a koutou whakahere tuku noa katoa e homai ana ki a Ihowa.

23:39 I te tekau ma rima hoki o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama, ina poto i a koutou te kohikohi nga hua o te whenua, me whakarite e koutou he hakari ki a Ihowa, kia whitu nga ra: ko te ra tuatahi hei hapati, ko te ra tuawaru hoki hei hapati.

23:40 Na i te ra tuatahi ka mau ki nga peka rakau papai, ki nga peka nikau, ki nga peka hoki o nga rakau pururu, ki nga wirou o te awa; a ka koa koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, kia whitu nga ra.

23:41 Kia whitu hoki nga ra o te tau e whakarite ai koutou i te hakari ki a Ihowa. Hei tikanga pumau tenei, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga: ko a te whitu o nga marama whakaritea ai e koutou.

23:42 Kia whitu nga ra e noho ai koutou i roto i nga wharau; ko nga tangata whenua katoa o Iharaira me noho i roto i nga wharau:

23:43 Kia mohio ai o koutou whakatupuranga i meinga e ahau nga tama a Iharaira kia noho i roto i nga wharau, i taku whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

23:44 Na ka korerotia atu e Mohi nga hakari a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira.
