Ka murua hoki e ia ngā roimata katoa i ō rātou kanohi; ā, kore ake he mate; kāhore hoki he auē, kāhore he tangi, kāhore he mamae, i ngā wā i muri nei. Kua pahemo atu hoki ngā mea ō mua.”

Ā, ka kōrero mai tērā e noho rā i runga i te torōna: “Nā, ka hangā houtia e ahau ngā mea katoa.” I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, “Tuhituhia. Nō te mea he pono, he tika ēnei kupu.”

I rongo anō ahau i te reo nui i te rangi e mea ana: “Nā, kei ngā tāngata te tapenākara o te Atua, ā, e noho ia ki a rātou; ko rātou hoki hei iwi māna, ko te Atua nei anō hei a rātou, hei Atua mō rātou.

I mea mai anō ia ki ahau, “Kua oti ēnei mea. Ko ahau te Ārepa, te Ōmeka, te tīmatanga, te whakamutunga. Ka hoatu noa e ahau ki te tangata matewai he wai i te puna o te wai o te ora.

Ko te tangata i a ia te wikitōria, e whiwhi ia ki ēnei mea; ko ahau hoki hei Atua mōna, ko ia hei tama māku.

Nā, ko te hunga wehi, ko te hunga whakateka, ko te hunga whakarihariha, ko ngā kaikōhuru, ko te hunga moepuku, ko te hunga mākutu, ko te hunga karakia ki te whakapakoko, ko te hunga teka katoa, ko te wāhi mō rātou kei te roto e kā ana i te ahi, i te whānāriki. Ko te matenga tuarua tēnei.”

Ā, i kite ahau i te rangi hou, i te whenua hou. Kua pahemo hoki te rangi tuatahi, me te whenua tuatahi, ā, kāhore atu he moana.

I kite anō ahau i te pā tapu, i Hiruhārama hou, e heke iho ana i te rangi i te Atua, rite rawa, ānō he wahine mārena hou kua oti te whakapaipai mō tāna tāne.

Kāhore hoki taua pā i mea ki te rā mōna, ki te marama rānei, hei whiti ki roto. E whakamāramatia ana hoki a reira e te korōria o te Atua, ko te Reme hoki tōna mārama. E haere hoki ngā tauiwi i waenganui o tōna mārama, ā, e kawea mai anō hoki e ngā kīngi o te ao tō rātou korōria ki reira.
