Te Kitenga o te Pukapuka
1 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “E te tama a te tangata, e tū ōu waewae ki runga, ā, ka kōrero ahau ki a koe.” 2 Nā, kua tae mai te wairua ki roto ki ahau i tāna kōrerotanga ki ahau, i tāna meatanga kia tū ōku waewae ki runga; ā, ka rongo ahau i a ia e kōrero ana ki ahau.
3 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, “E te tama a te tangata, ka ungā koe e ahau ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ki ngā iwi whakakeke, kua whakakeke nei ki ahau; ko rātou ko ō rātou mātua kua tutū ki ahau ā taea noatia tēnei rā nei anō. 4 Ā, ko ngā tamariki he whakatoi, he kakī mārō. Nā, ka ungā koe e ahau ki a rātou, ā, me kī atu e koe ki a rātou, ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā.’ 5 Nā, ko rātou, mā rātou e rongo, mā rātou e kore e rongo, (he whare whakakeke hoki rātou), ka mōhio, nā, i roto i a rātou te poropiti e noho ana. 6 Nā, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kaua e wehi i a rātou, kaua e wehi i ā rātou kupu, ahakoa he tātarāmoa, he tūmatakuru i tōu taha, ā, e noho ana koe i roto i ngā kopiona; kaua e wehi i ā rātou kupu, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro mai rātou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke rātou. 7 Me kōrero anō e koe āku kupu ki a rātou, mā rātou e whakarongo, mā rātou rānei e kore e whakarongo; nui atu hoki tō rātou whakakeke. 8 Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, whakarongo ki tāku e mea nei ki a koe. Kaua koe e whakakeke, kei rite ki taua whare whakakeke. Hāmama tōu māngai, kainga hoki te mea ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe.”
9 Nā, i tāku tirohanga atu, nanā, ko tētahi ringa e totoro mai ana ki ahau. Nanā, ko tētahi pukapuka i roto i te ringa. 10 Nā, wherahia ana e ia taua pukapuka ki tōku aroaro, he mea tuhituhi a roto, a waho. Ko te mea i tuhituhia ki reira he tangi, he uhunga, he auē.
