1Nā, i taua wā, ka totoro atu ngā ringa o Kīngi Herora ki te tūkino i ētahi o te hāhi.

2Ā, whakamatea ana e ia ki te hoari a Hēmi, te tuakana o Hoani.

3Ā, nō tōna kitenga e pai ana ki ngā Hūrai, ka anga ia ki te hopu hoki i a Pita. Nā, ko ngā rā ēnā o te Taro Rēwenakore.

4Ā, nō ka mau ia, ka makā ki te whare herehere, ka tukua ki ngā hōia kotahi tekau mā ono kia tiakina; ko te whakaaro mō muri iho i te Kapenga ka whakaputa mai ai i a ia ki te iwi.

5Nā, ka puritia a Pita ki roto ki te whare herehere; otiia, kīhai i mutumutu te īnoi a te hāhi ki te Atua mōna.

6Ā, nō ka tata a Herora te whakaputa mai i a ia, i taua pō anō e moe ana a Pita i waenganui o ngā hōia tokorua, he mea here ki ngā mekameka e rua; me ngā kaitiaki i mua i te tatau e tiaki ana i te whare herehere.

7Nā, tū ana tētahi anahera nā te Ariki i tōna taha, ā, tīaho ana te mārama i roto i te rūma. Nā, ka papaki ia i te kaokao o Pita, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, “E ara, hohoro!” Ā, marere iho ōna mekameka i ōna ringa.

8Ka mea atu anō te anahera ki a ia, “Whītiki i a koe, ka here i ōu pārekereke.” Ā, meinga ana e ia. Ka mea anō ki a ia, “Kākahuria tōu kākahu, haere mai i muri i ahau.”

9Nā, ka haere ia ki waho, ka aru i a ia; ā, kīhai ia i mahara he pono tā te anahera i mea ai; hua noa he rekanga kanohi tāna i kite ai.

10Ā, nō ka mahue i a rāua te tuatahi, te tuarua o ngā kaitiaki, ka tae rāua ki te tatau rino i te putanga atu ki te pā; tuwhera noa ana tērā ki a rāua. Puta ana rāua ki waho, haere ana, puta rawa i tētahi ara, mawehe tonu atu te anahera i a ia.

11Ā, i te hokinga ake o ngā whakaaro o Pita, ka mea ia, “Kātahi ahau ka tino mōhio, kua tono mai te Ariki i tāna anahera, hei tango i ahau i roto i te ringa o Herora, i ngā mea katoa hoki e tāria nei e te iwi o ngā Hūrai.”

12Ā, nō ka whakaaroaro ia ki taua mea, ka haere ia ki te whare o Meri, whaea o Hoani, ko te rua nei o ōna ingoa ko Māka; he tokomaha hoki kua huihui ki reira ki te īnoi.

13Ā, nō te pātōtōtanga a Pita i te tatau o te whatitoka, ka tae mai he kōtiro ki te whakarongo, ko Rora te ingoa.

14Ā, nō ka mōhio ia ki te reo o Pita, kīhai i uakina te tatau i te hari, heoi, oma ana ki roto, ki te kōrero kei te tatau a Pita e tū ana.

15Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, “E haurangi ana koe!” Heoi, ka tohe tonu ia he pono. Nā, ka mea rātou, “Ko tōna anahera.”

16Me te pātuki tonu anō tērā a Pita; ā, i tā rātou uakanga, ka kite i a ia, ka mīharo.

17Nā, ka pēpehi atu tōna ringa i a rātou kia kaua e kuihi, ka kōrerotia ki a rātou tōna whakaputanga mai e te Ariki i te whare herehere. Ka mea, “Kōrerotia ēnei mea ki a Hēmi rātou ko ngā tēina.” Nā, ka puta ia ki waho, haere ana he wāhi kē.

18Nā, i te aonga ake anō o te rā, kīhai i iti te pororaru o ngā hōia, i ahatia rānei a Pita.

19Nā, ka rapu a Herora i a ia, ā, nō te korenga i kitea, ka whakawā i ngā kaitiaki, ka whakahau kia whakamatea. Nā, haere atu ana ia i Hūria ki raro ki Hiharia noho ai.

20Nā, tino nui te riri o Herora ki te hunga o Tāira, o Hairona. Otirā, ka huihui mai rātou ki a ia, ā, ka oti a Parahitu, te kaitiaki o te whare moenga o te kīngi, te whakakīkī e rātou, ka tono rātou kia houhia te rongo, nō te mea ko ngā kai i whāngaia ai tō rātou whenua nō te whenua o te kīngi.

21Ā, i tētahi rā i whakaritea ka kākahu a Herora i te kākahu kīngi, ka noho ki runga ki te torōna, ā, whakatū ana ki a rātou.

22Nā, ko te karangatanga a te huihui, “He reo atua, ehara i tō te tangata!”

23I reira, pū anō ka patua ia e tētahi anahera a te Ariki, nō te mea kīhai i hoatu e ia te korōria ki te Atua; ā, kainga ana ia e te kutukutu, hemo ake.

24Ko te kupu ia a te Atua i tupu, i nui haere.

25Ā, ka hoki a Pānapa rāua ko Haora i Hiruhārama, i te otinga o tā rāua mahi, ka mauria a Hoani, ko te rua nei o ōna ingoa ko Māka.
