## What is Te Paipera Tapu?

Ko te pūmanawa tautono nei, ko Te Paipera Tapu kei roto i tōu pūkoro. He māmā te whakamahi, he āhuatanga i āta whakaritea kei waiho hei ārai e kore ai te kaipānui e wātea ki te whakawhāiti te titiro ki te kupu a te Atua. He māmā te whakamahi i ngā tohu o te mata hei pānui hei kimi rānei i ngā kōrero. 

Whakanōhia tonutia te pūmanawa ki tāu waea pūkoro, iPapa rānei, ka taea tonutia e koe te Paipera Tapu te pānui, ahakoa kua kore he hononga ki te ipurangi.

Kei roto i te pūmanawa nei ko te takotoranga hōu o Paipera Tapu.

Kei roto nga kupu whakamaori:

MRI - Te Paipera Tapu
CEVUK - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised)
ESV - English Standard Version
GNBDC - Good News Translation (Anglicised)
NASB - New American Standard Bible
NRSVUK - New Revised Standard Version

Ngā āhuatanga:
- pānuitanga i te pō
- pānuitanga ahakoa kāore he hononga ki te ipurangi
- kimi i ngā whiti me ngā kupu matua
- he tere te whakaraparapa i ngā upoko me ngā whiti
- he māmā te whakawhiti i waenganui i ngā Paipera e toru

### 3/5 — Great app, just wish for a few features

*2023-07-29, version 1.1.90*

It’s great to have a Bible translation in my native language. Would be great to have an audio version like with YouVersion. Also to be able to bookmark and highlight would be great, it’s annoying to read and then leave app only to come back and it’s gone back to Matthew 1.
Heoi anō, ka nui te pai i tēnei taupānga

### 4/5 — Miharo!

*2019-08-04*

Thanks for developing this. Is there any way to have a split screen to be able to have the English and Māori side by side?

**Developer response:** Yes, if you turn the phone to landscape view, you can view two versions side-by-side.

### 4/5 — He pai
