Ko te Pukapuka Tuarua a te Hepara o Hermas, e kiia nei ko Ana Whakahau WHAKATAKI 1 I a au e inoi ana i te kāinga, e noho ana i runga i te moenga, ka haere mai tetahi tangata ki ahau me te titiro whakaute, me te āhua o tetahi hepara, he koroka mā tōna kakahu, me tana putea i runga i tōna tuara, me tana tokotoko i tōna ringa, ā, ka mihi mai ki ahau. 2 I whakahoki atu ahau i tana mihi, ā, noho tonu iho ia i tōku taha, ka mea mai ki ahau, Nā taua karere honore ahau i tono mai, kia noho tahi māua mō ngā rā katoa e toe ana o tō oranga. 3 I mahara ia i haere mai ia ki te whakamātautau i ahau, ā ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, Ko wai koe? E mōhio ana hoki ahau ki te tangata i tukua atu ai ahau ki a ia. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Kāore koe e mōhio ki ahau? Ka whakahoki ahau, kāo. Ko ahau, e ai ki tāna, taua hepara i tukua atu nei koe ki a ia. 4 I a ia e kōrero ana, ka puta ke tōna āhua; ā, i taku mōhiotanga ko ia te tangata i tukua atu ai ahau ki a ia, ka whakama ahau, ā, ka tau te wehi ki ahau, ā, ka tino pōuri ahau, nā te mea i kōrero kuware ahau ki a ia. 5 Nā, ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Kaua e whakama, engari kia kaha tō hinengaro, mā roto i ngā whakahau ka tukuna atu nei e ahau ki a koe. Nā te mea, e mea ana ia, kua tonoa mai ahau ki te whakaatu anō i aua mea katoa kua kitea e koe i mua, engari ko ērā atu mea e tino whai hua ana ki a koe. 6 Tuatahi, tuhia aku Whakahau me aku Whakataurite, ko ngā toenga me tuhituhi e koe kia rite ki taku e whakaatu atu ai ki a koe. Engari koia ahau ka mea atu nei ki a koe i te tuatahi, tuhia aku Whakahau me aku Whakataurite, kia ngāwari ai te maumahara mā te pānui pinepine i aua mea. 7 Nō reira i tuhituhia ai e ahau āna Ture me āna Kupu Whakarite, pērā i tāna i whakahau mai ai ki ahau. 8 Ki te mea kua rongo koutou, ā, ka puritia e koutou kia mahia, ka haere i runga i aua mea, ka whakaharatau hoki i a koutou i runga i te hinengaro ma, ka riro mai i a koutou i te Ariki nga mea kua whakaaria mai nei ki a koutou.
9 Ia ore râ outou ia tatarahapa i muri iho, e ia, e ia e faarahi i ta outou hara, e ia e faarahi i ta outou hara. 10 Ko ēnei mea katoa i whakahaua mai e te Hepara, e te anahera o te ripeneta, kia tuhituhia e au. TOHUTOHU 1 1 Tuatahi, me whakapono kotahi te Atua nāna i hanga, ā, nāna i hanga ngā mea katoa mai i te kore hei mea ora. 2 E mārama ana ia ki ngā mea katoa, ā, he nui rawa ia, e kore e taea e tetahi te mārama. 3 Kāore e taea te whakamārama e tetahi kupu, kāore hoki e taea te whakaaro e te hinengaro. 4 Nō reira, whakapono ki a ia; kia wehi hoki ki a ia; ā, i te wehi ki a ia, kia mawehe atu i ngā mea kino katoa. 5 Puritia ēnei mea, maka atu hoki ngā hiahia me ngā mahi kino katoa kia matara atu i a koe, kakahuria hoki te tika, ā, ka ora koe ki te Atua, ki te pupuri koe i tēnei ture. WHAKAHAU 2 1 I mea mai ia ki ahau, Kia harakore koe, kaua e huna i tōu āhua; kia rite ai koe ki te tamaiti kāore e mōhio ki te kino e whakangaro nei i te ora o te tangata. 2 Kia tino tupato kei kōrero kino koe mō tetahi, kaua hoki e whakarongo ki tetahi e kōrero kino ana mō tetahi. 3 Ki te kore hoki koe e mātakitaki i tēnei, ka uru anō hoki koe ki te hara o te tangata e kōrero kino ana, i te whakapono ki te kōrero kino, ā, ka whai hara anō hoki koe, nā te mea i whakapono koe ki te tangata i kōrero kino mō tōu teina. 4 He mea kino te whakakino; he wairua kino, he wairua pūmau; e kore e mau tonu te rangimārie, engari e noho tonu ana i roto i te ngangau. Nō reira, kia kore e mau te rangimārie ki a koe, kia mau tonu te rangimārie ki tōu teina. 5 Kia mau tonu te tapu, kia kore ai he hara, kia ki tonu i te hari; kia pai hoki āu mahi. 6 Hoatu ki te hunga katoa e rawakore ana, kaua e ruarua ko wai tāu e hoatu ai. 7 Engari hoatu ki te katoa, e hiahia ana hoki te Atua kia hoatu e tātou ki te katoa, āna ake homaitanga katoa. Nō reira, ko te hunga e whiwhi ana, me tuku he kōrero ki te Atua mō te take i whiwhi ai rātou, me te take hoki.
