Whakarongo, e Īharaira! Ko ā tēnei rā koe whiti ai i Horano, ā, ka tae, ka riro i a koe ngā iwi nunui ake, kaha ake i a koe, ngā pā nunui hoki, he mea taiepa ā tutuki noa ki te rangi, 
he iwi nunui, he iwi roroa, ko ngā tama a te Anakimi, e mōhio nā koe. Kua rongo nā koe i te pepeha mō rātou, “Ko wai e tū ki te aroaro o ngā tama a Anaka?” 
Nā, kia mōhio koe i tēnei rā, ko Ihowā, ko tōu Atua, ko ia kei tōu aroaro e haere ana ānō he ahi e kai ana; māna rātou e huna, māna hoki e whakamate tō rātou tara ki tōu aroaro; ā, ka peia rātou e koe, ka meinga kia hohoro tō rātou ngaro, ka rite ki tā Ihowā i kōrero ai ki a koe. 
Kei kōrero koe i roto i tōu ngākau, ua pei a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a rātou i tōu aroaro, kei mea, “He tika nōku i kawe mai ai a Ihowā i ahau ki te tango i tēnei whenua.” Kāhore, nō te kino o ēnei iwi i pei ai a Ihowā i a rātou i tōu aroaro. 
Ehara, i te tika nōu, i te tapatahi rānei o tōu ngākau, i haere ai koe ki te tango i tō rātou whenua; engari he kino nō ēnei iwi i pei ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a rātou i tōu aroaro, he mea hoki kia mana ai te kupu i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa. 
Inā, kia mōhio koe, ehara i te tika nōu e hoatu nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, tēnei whenua pai ki a koe, kia tangohia e koe; nō te mea he iwi kakī mārō koe. 
Kia mahara, kei wareware ki āu whakataritari ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, i te koraha. Nō te rā iho anō i haere mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa, ā tae noa mai koutou ki tēnei wāhi, e tutū ana koutou ki a Ihowā. 
I Horepa anō hoki, i whakapātaritari koutou ki a Ihowā kia riri, ā, riri ana a Ihowā ki a koutou, mea ana kia hunā koutou. 
I tōku pikinga ki te maunga, ki te tiki i ngā papa kōhatu, i ngā papa o te kawenata i whakaritea e Ihowā ki a koutou, nā, ka noho ahau i te maunga, e whā tekau ngā rā, e whā tekau ngā pō; kāhore ahau i kai taro, kāhore i inu wai. 
Ā, hōmai ana e Ihowā ki ahau ngā papa kōhatu e rua, he mea tuhituhi nā te ringa o te Atua; ā, i reira e mau ana, he mea tuhituhi, ngā kupu katoa i kōrero ai a Ihowā ki a koutou i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, i te rā o te huihuinga. 
Nāwai ā, ka taka ngā rā e whā tekau me ngā pō e whā tekau, nā, ka hōmai e Ihowā ki ahau ngā papa kōhatu e rua, arā ngā papa o te kawenata. 
Ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau, “Whakatika, hohoro te heke atu i konei; ko tōu iwi hoki i kawea mai nei e koe i Īhipa kua taka ki te hē; kua hohoro rātou te peka kē i te huarahi i kīia ai e ahau ki a rātou; kua hangā e rātou he whakapakoko, he mea whakarewa mō rātou.” 
I kōrero mai anō a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea, “Kua kite ahau i tēnei iwi, nanā, he iwi kakī mārō rātou; 
tukua ahau ki te huna i a rātou, ki te horoi atu hoki i tō rātou ingoa i raro i te rangi. Ā, māku koe e mea hei iwi kaha ake, hei iwi nui ake i a rātou.” 
Heoi, tahuri ana ahau, heke iho ana i te maunga, ko te maunga hoki kā tonu i te ahi; ā, ko ngā papa e rua o te kawenata i ōku ringa e rua. 
Nā, ko tāku tirohanga atu, nā, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua; kua hanga koutou i te kūao kau mā koutou, he mea whakarewa: kua hohoro koutou te peka kē i te huarahi i kīia e Ihowā ki a koutou. 
Nā, ka mau ahau ki ngā papa e rua, pangā atu ana e ahau i roto i ōku ringa e rua, ā, wāhia iho aua mea e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro. 
Nā, takoto ana ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowā, pērā anō me te tīmatanga, e whā tekau ngā rā, e whā tekau ngā pō; kīhai ahau i kai taro, kīhai i inu wai; mō ō koutou hara katoa hoki i hara ai koutou, i mahi ai i te kino ki te aroaro o Ihowā, hei whakapātaritari i a ia. 
I pāwera hoki ahau i te riri, i te āritarita, i a Ihowā rā i whakatakariri ai ki a koutou, e mea ana, kia hunā koutou. Otiia whakarongo mai ana anō a Ihowā ki ahau i taua wā hoki. 
Ā, tino kaha te riri o Ihowā ki a Ārona, i mea kia whakamatea ia; nā, ka īnoi anō hoki ahau mō Ārona i taua wā. 
Nā, ka tango ahau i tō koutou hara, i te kūao kau i hangā e koutou, ā, tahuna ana e ahau ki te ahi, patōkia iho, whakangakungakutia ana kia ririki, ngotangota noa ānō he puehu. Nā, pangā atu ana e ahau ōna ngota ki te awa e rere iho ana i te maunga. 
Ā, i Tapera, i Maha hoki, i Kipiroto Hataawa i whakapātaritari anō koutou ki a Ihowā. 
Nā, i te tononga a Ihowā i a koutou i Karehepārenea, i tāna meatanga mai, “Haere ki runga, tangohia te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou,” nā, ka tutū koutou ki te kupu a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, kīhai anō i whakapono ki a ia, kīhai i whakarongo ki tōna reo. 
He tutū tonu tā koutou ki a Ihowā mai o te rā i mōhio ai ahau ki a koutou. 
Nā, takoto ana ahau i te aroaro o Ihowā i ngā rā e whā tekau, i ngā pō e whā tekau, i takoto ai ahau; mō te meatanga mai a Ihowā kia whakangaromia koutou. 
Ā, ka īnoi ahau ki a Ihowā, ka mea, “E Ihowā, e te Atua, kaua e whakangaromia tāu iwi, tāu taonga tupu, i hokona nei e koe i runga i tōu nui, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Īhipa ki te ringa kaha. 
Kia mahara ki āu pononga, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa; kaua e titiro mai ki te pakeke o tēnei iwi, ki tō rātou kino, ki tō rātou hara. 
Kei mea te whenua i whakaputaina mai nei mātou e koe i reira, ‘He kore kīhai a Ihowā i kaha ki te kawe i a rātou ki te whenua i kōrero ai ia ki a rātou, he kino hoki nōna ki a rātou, i kawea ai rātou e ia kia whakamatea ki te koraha.’ 
Otirā, ko tāu iwi anō rātou, ko tāu taonga tupu hoki, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i runga i tōu kaha nui, i tōu tākakau mārō hoki.”
