We may think that…severity (as God leads His children) is inconsistent with what we know of God’s gentleness and compassion. But that is because we do not appreciate how seriously God loves us, and how determined He is that we should have His best, even if it means pain.

3:1 ¶ Na he tangata tera no nga Parihi, ko Nikorima tona ingoa, he rangatira no nga Hurai:

3:2 Ka haere mai tenei ki a Ihu i te po, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, e matau ana matou i haere mai koe i te Atua hei kaiwhakaako, ina hoki e kore tetahi tangata e ahei te mea i enei merekara e meatia nei e koe, ki te kahore te Atua i a ia.

3:3 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, he pono, he pono, taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ki te kahore te tangata e whanau hou, e kore ia e ahei te kite i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

3:4 Ka mea a Nikorima ki a ia, Me pehea ka whanau ai te tangata i tona koroheketanga? e taea ranei te tuarua o nga haerenga ki roto ki te kopu o tona whaea, whanau mai ai?

3:5 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ki te kahore te tangata e whanau i te wai, i te Wairua hoki, e kore ia e ahei te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

3:6 Ko ta te kikokiko e whanau ai he kikokiko; ko ta te Wairua e whanau ai he wairua.

3:7 Aua ra e miharo ki taku i mea nei ki a koe, he mea tuturu tenei kia whanau hou koutou.

3:8 E pupuhi ana te hau ki tana wahi e pai ai, ka rongo hoki koe ki tona haruru, otiia e kore e mohiotia e koe te wahi i puta mai ai, e tae atu ai ranei: ko te ritenga tenei ki te hunga katoa ka whanau i te Wairua.

3:9 Ka whakahoki a Nikorima, ka mea ki a ia, Me pehea ka taea ai enei mea?

3:10 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe te Kaiwhakaako o Iharaira, a kahore i matau ki enei mea?

3:11 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, E korerotia ana e matou ta matou i matau ai, e whakaaturia ana ta matou i kite ai; heoi, e kore koutou e tango ki ta matou whakaaturanga.

3:12 Ki te mea kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea o te whenua, a kahore koutou e whakapono, me pehea ka whakapono ai ki te korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea o te rangi?

3:13 Kahore hoki he tangata i kake noa ki te rangi, ko ia anake i heke iho i te rangi, ara ko te Tama a te tangata, e noho mai nei i te rangi.

3:14 Ka rite hoki ki ta Mohi whakairinga i te nakahi i te koraha, kua takoto te tikanga kia pera te whakairinga o te Tama a te tangata.

3:15 Kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu.

3:16 Koia ano te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, homai ana e ia tana Tama kotahi, kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu.

3:17 Kihai hoki te Atua i tono mai i tana Tama ki te ao ki te whakahe i te ao; engari kia ora ai te ao i a ia.

3:18 Ko ia e whakapono ana ki a ia, e kore e tau te he ki a ia: tena ko ia e kore e whakapono, kua whakahengia noatia ake, mona kihai i whakapono ki te ingoa o te Tama kotahi a te Atua.

3:19 Ko te whakahenga hoki tenei, no te mea kua tae mai nei te marama ki te ao, a nui atu to nga tangata aroha ki te pouri i to ratou ki te marama, he kino hoki no a ratou mahi.

3:20 E kino ana hoki ki te marama nga kaimahi katoa i te kino, e kore ano hoki e haere mai ki te marama, kei whakakitea a ratou mahi.

3:21 Tena ko te kaimahi i te pono, e haere mai ana ki te marama, kia kitea ai ana mahi, he mea mahi i roto i te Atua.

3:22 ¶ A no muri i enei mea ka haere a Ihu, ratou ko ana akonga, ki te whenua o Huria; a noho tahi ana ratou ki reira, me tana iriiri ano.

3:23 Na i te iriiri ano hoki a Hoani ki Enona, ki tetahi wahi e tata ana ki Harema, no te mea he nui te wai o reira: a ka haere mai ratou, ka iriiria.

3:24 Kahore ano hoki a Hoani i panga ki te whare herehere.

3:25 Na ka ara he totohe a nga akonga a Hoani ki tetahi Hurai mo te purenga.

3:26 A ka haere ratou ki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tangata i tawahi na korua o Horano, ko tau i whakaatu mai na, nana, kei te iriiri ia, e haere ana hoki te katoa ki a ia.

3:27 Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea, E kore tetahi mea e riro i te tangata, ki te kore e homai ki a ia i te rangi.

3:28 Ko koutou hei kaiwhakaae ki ahau, ki taku meatanga, Ehara ahau i a te Karaiti, engari i tonoa mai ahau i mua i a ia.

3:29 Ko te tangata i te wahine marena hou, ko ia te tane marena hou: na ko te hoa o te tane marena hou, e tu ana, e rongo ana ki a ia, ka hari pu ki te reo o te tane marena hou: na reira i tutuki ai tenei hari oku.

3:30 Ko te tikanga tenei, ko ia kia nui haere, ko ahau kia iti haere.

3:31 Ko ia e haere mai ana i runga, kei runga ake ia i te katoa: ko to te whenua no te whenua ia, no te whenua ano ana korero: ko ia e haere mai ana i te rangi, kei runga ake ia i te katoa.

3:32 A ko tana i kite ai, i rongo ai, ko ia tana e whakaatu ai: kahore hoki tetahi tangata e tango atu ki tana whakaaturanga.

3:33 Ki te manako tetahi ki tana whakaaturanga, kua piri tana tohu ki te pono o ta te Atua.

3:34 Ko ta te Atua i tono mai ai, e korero ana ia i nga kupu a te Atua: kahore hoki te Wairua e homai e te Atua i runga i te mehua.

3:35 E aroha ana te Matua ki te Tama, kua hoatu ano nga mea katoa ki tona ringa.

3:36 Ko ia e whakapono ana ki te Tama, he ora tonu tona: ko ia e kore e whakapono ki te Tama, e kore e kite i te ora; engari ka mau tonu te riri a te Atua ki a ia.
