Matiu.
4.
Me i reira ka ārahina a Īhu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamātautauria e te rēwera. 
Ā, nō ka whā tekau ngā rā, ka whā tekau ngā pō i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai. 
Nā, ka tae te kaiwhakamātautau ki a ia, ka mea, “Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kīia iho kia meinga ēnei kōhatu hei taro.” 
Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, “Kua oti te tuhituhi, ‘E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari, i ngā kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te māngai o te Atua.’ ” 
Me i reira, ka kawe te rēwera i a ia ki te pā tapu, ā, whakatūria ana ia ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, 
ā, ka mea ki a ia, “Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu ki raro; kua oti hoki te tuhituhi: ‘Ka kōrerotia iho koe e ia ki āna anahera; mā rātou koe e hiki ake ki ō rātou ringa, kei tūtuki tōu waewae ki te kōhatu.’ ” 
Mea atu ana a Īhu ki a ia, “Ka oti anō hoki te tuhituhi, ‘Kaua e whakamātautau ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua.’ ” 
Ka kawe anō te rēwera i a ia ki runga ki tētahi maunga tiketike rawa, ā, whakakitea ana ki a ia ngā rangatiratanga katoa o te ao, me te korōria o aua mea; 
ā, mea ana ki a ia, “Ko ēnei mea katoa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki te tāpapa koe, ki te koropiko ki ahau.” 
Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Haere atu, e Hātana! Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi; ‘Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tōu Atua, me mahi anō ki a ia anake.’ ” 
Nā, ka mahue ia i te rēwera, ā, ka haere mai ngā anahera ka mahi mea māna. 
Ā, nō ka rongo a Īhu kua tukua a Hoani ki te whare herehere, ka haere ia ki Karirī. 
Ā, ka mahue a Nahareta i a ia, ā, haere ana, ka noho ki Kaperenauma, ki te taha o te moana, ki ngā rohe o Hepurona, o Napatari. 
I rite ai tā Ihāia poropiti i kōrero ai, i mea ai: 
“Ko te whenua o Hepurona, me te whenua o Napatari, i te ara o te moana, i tērā taha o Horano, Karirī o ngā tauiwi! 
Ko te hunga i noho i te pōuri kua kite rātou i te mārama nui, ā, ko te hunga i noho i te wāhi i te ātārangi o te mate, kua puta ake te mārama ki a rātou.” 
Nō reira anō a Īhu i tīmata ai te kauwhau, te mea, “Rīpenetā, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.” 
Ā, i a Īhu e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Karirī, ka kite ia i ētahi tāngata tokorua, he tuakana he teina, i a Haimona, tōna ingoa nei ko Pita, rāua ko tōna teina, ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana; he kaihao ika hoki rāua. 
Nā, ka mea ia ki a rāua, “Arumia mai ahau, ā, māku kōrua e mea hei kaihao tāngata.” 
Ā, mahue ake i a rāua ngā kupenga, ā, aru ana i a ia. 
Ā, nō tōna haerenga i reira, tokorua anō āna i kite ai, he tuakana, he teina, ko Hēmi tama a Heperi rāua ko tōna teina, ko Hoani, i te kaipuke i a Heperi i tō rāua matua, e tā ana i ngā korenga o ā rātou kupenga, ā, karangatia ana rāua e ia. 
Mahue tonu ake i a rāua te kaipuke me tō rāua matua, ā, aru ana i a ia. 
Nā, ka hāereerea katoatia a Karirī e Īhu, whakaako ana i roto i ō rātou whare karakia, kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i ngā mate katoa, i ngā tūrorotanga katoa o te iwi. 
Ā, ka haere tōna rongo puta noa i Hīria, ā, kawea ana mai e rātou ki a ia ngā tāngata mate katoa e ngaua ana e te tini o ngā mate, o ngā mamae, me te hunga e nohoia ana e te rēwera, me te hunga haurangi, me ngā pararūtiki, ā, whakaorangia ake rātou e ia. 
Ā, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia i Karirī, i Rekaporihi, i Hiruhārama, i Hūria, i tērā taha anō o Horano.
