“He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki tāku kōrero, e whakapono ana hoki ki tōku kaitono mai, he ora tonu tōna; e kore anō ia e riro ki te whakawā, engari, kua whiti i te mate ki te ora.

Nō te kitenga o Īhu i a ia e takoto ana, ka mātau kua roa kē te wā ōna e mate ana, ka mea ki a ia, “E pai ana rānei koe kia whakaorangia?”

Whakatakina ai e koutou ngā tikanga o ngā karaipiture; e mea ana hoki koutou kei reira te ora tonu mō koutou; ko ēnei hei kaiwhakaatu mōku. Heoi, kāhore koutou e pai kia haere mai ki ahau, kia whiwhi ai ki te ora.

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere.” Ā, ora tonu ake taua tangata, ā, tangohia ake ana e ia tōna moenga, haere ana. Ko te hāpati anō taua rā.

Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore e taea e te Tama te mea tētahi mea e ia anake, engari ngā mea e kite ai ia e meatia ana e te Matua; ko tāna hoki e mea ai, e meatia ana hoki e te Tama.
