Nā, ka whakatangi te whitu o ngā anahera; ā, ka whai i muri ngā reo nunui i te rangi, e mea ana: “Kua riro te rangatiratanga o te ao hei rangatiratanga mō tō tātou Ariki, mō tāna Karaiti hoki; ko ia anō hei kīngi ake ake.”

I riri hoki ngā iwi, ā, kua tae mai tōu riri me te wā mō ngā tūpāpaku e whakawākia ai. Te wā hoki e hoatu ai e koe he utu ki āu pononga, ki ngā poropiti, ki te hunga tapu anō hoki, ki te hunga anō e wehi ana i tōu ingoa, ki te hunga nonohi, ki te hunga nunui; e whakangaromia ai hoki te hunga e whakangaro nei i te whenua.”

Ā, māku e hoatu he tikanga ki āku kaiwhakaatu tokorua, e poropiti hoki rāua, kotahi mano e rua rau e ono tekau ngā rā, he taratara anō te kākahu.”

Ā muri iho i aua rā e toru me te hāwhe, ka uru te manawa ora ki a rāua, he mea nā te Atua, ā, ka tū ō rāua waewae ki runga; nui atu hoki te wehi i pā ki te hunga e titiro ana ki a rāua.

Kei a rāua te tikanga mō te kōpani i te rangi, kia kaua e ua te ua i ngā rā o tā rāua poropititanga. Kei a rāua anō te tikanga mō te whakaputa kē i ngā wai hei toto, mō te patu anō i te whenua ki ngā patunga katoa, i ngā wā e pai ai rāua.

Ko ngā ōriwa e rua ēnei, me ngā tūranga rama e rua, e tū nei i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua. Ā, ki te mea tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ka puta mai he kāpura i ō rāua māngai, e pau ai ō rāua hoariri. Ki te mea hoki tētahi ki te tūkino i a rāua, ko te whakamatenga tēnei mōna.
