1Ā, nō te rongonga o Hanaparata, o Tōpia, o Keheme Ārapi, o ērā atu o ō mātou hoariri, kua hangā e ahau te taiepa, kāhore hoki he wāhi pakaru i mahue (kāhore anō ia kia oti noa i ahau ngā tatau te whakatū ki ngā kūwaha),

2nā, ka unga tāngata mai a Hanaparata rāua ko Keheme ki ahau, ka mea, “Haere mai, tātou ka rūnanga ki tētahi o ngā pā ririki i te mānia i Ono.” Otiia i whakaaro rāua ki te mahi kino ki ahau.

3Nā, ka unga tāngata ahau ki a rāua hei kī atu, “He nui te mahi e mahi nei ahau; e kore e āhei kia heke atu. Kia whakamutua hei aha te mahi? Ko whakarērea nei hoki e ahau, ki te heke atu ahau ki a kōrua.”

4Nā, e whā ā rāua tononga tāngata mai ki ahau, ko taua tikanga anō, heoi whakahokia ana e ahau ko aua kupu rā anō.

5Kātahi a Hanaparata ka unga mai i tāna tangata ki ahau, ko te rima o ngā ngarenga mai, ko taua tikanga anō, he pukapuka tuwhera i tōna ringa.

6Ko te mea tēnei i tuhituhia ki reira: “Kua pakū te rongo ki ngā tauiwi – e kī ana anō hoki a Kahamu – tēnei koutou ko ngā Hūrai te mea nei kia whakakeke; koia i hangā ai e koe te taiepa; ā, e mea ana koe ko koe hei kīngi mō rātou; ko tā ngā kōrero hoki tēnei.

7Kua whakatūria anō e koe ētahi poropiti hei karanga mōu ki Hiruhārama, hei kī, ‘Kua whai kīngi a Hūrā!’ Nā, ka whakaaturia ēnei kupu ki te kīngi. Heoi, haere mai, kia kōrerorero tāua.”

8Kātahi ahau ka unga tāngata ki a ia, hei kī atu, “Ehara kau ēnei mea e kōrero nei koe; he mea tito noa hoki nā tōu ngākau ake.”

9Ko tā rātou katoa hoki, he whakawehi i a mātou, i mea rātou, “Tērā ō rātou ringa e whakawarea ki te mahi, e kore ai e mahia.” Tēnā, e te Atua, whakakahangia ōku ringa.

10Kātahi ahau ka haere ki te whare o Hemaia tama a Teraia tama a Mehetapēre, he mea tūtaki hoki ia ki roto; ā, ka mea ia, “Me rūnanga tātou ki te whare o te Atua, ki roto ki te temepara, me tūtaki hoki e tātou ngā tatau o te temepara; tērā hoki rātou e haere mai ki te patu i a koe; inā, ko ā te pō rātou haere mai ai ki te patu i a koe.”

11Nā, ka mea ahau, “Me oma rānei te tangata pēnei i ahau nei? Ko wai te tangata o tōku rite e haere ki roto ki te temepara kia ora ai? E kore ahau e haere ki roto!”

12Nā, ka mahara ahau ehara ia i te mea ungā mai nā te Atua; heoi hei hē mōku tāna kupu i poropiti ai. He mea utu hoki ia nā Tōpia rāua ko Hanaparata.

13I utua ai ia, kia wehi ai ahau, kia mahi pērā, ā, ka hara; kia whai mea ai rātou hei whakaingoa kino, hei tāwai mā rātou ki ahau.

14Kia mahara, e tōku Atua, ki a Tōpia rāua ko Hanaparata, ki ēnei mahi a rāua, ki a Noaria poropiti wahine, ki ērā atu anō o ngā poropiti i mea nei ki te whakawehi i ahau.

15Heoi, kua oti te taiepa i te rua tekau mā rima o ngā rā o te marama o Eruru; e rima tekau mā rua ngā rā.

16Ā, i te rongonga o ō mātou hoariri katoa, i taua mea, ka wehi ngā tauiwi katoa i tētahi taha o mātou, i tētahi taha, ā, ko te tino hokinga iho o ō rātou whakaaro; i kite hoki rātou he mea mahi tēnei mahi e tō mātou Atua.

17He tini anō ngā pukapuka a ngā rangatira o Hūrā i aua rā i tae ki a Tōpia, me a Tōpia hoki i tae ki a rātou.

18He tokomaha hoki o Hūrā i oati ki a ia, he hunaonga hoki ia nā Hekania tama a Araha; i tango anō tāna tama a Iehohanana i te tamāhine a Mehūrāma tama a Perekia hei wahine.

19I kōrerotia anō e rātou āna mahi pai ki tōku aroaro; i kawea anō e rātou āku kupu ki a ia. Heoi, tukua mai ana e Tōpia ētahi pukapuka hei whakawehi i ahau.
