I whakahoki a Hataraka a Mehaka, a Apereneko, i mea ki te kīngi, “E Nepukaneha, kāhore ā mātou māharahara ki te whakahoki kupu ki a koe mō tēnei mea. Ki te pēnātia, e taea anō e tō mātou Atua, e karakiatia nei e mātou, te whakaora i a mātou i roto i te oumu he mura rawa nei te ngiha, inā, ka whakaorangia anō mātou e ia i tōu ringa, e te kīngi. Otiia ka kore, kia mōhio koe, e te kīngi, e kore mātou e mahi ki ōu atua, e kore anō e koropiko ki te whakapakoko kōura kua tū nā i a koe.”

Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, “Nanā, tokowhā ngā tāngata e kitea nei e ahau, kāhore he here, e hāereere ana i waenganui o te ahi, kāhore hoki e ahatia; nā, ko te āhua o te tuawhā kei tō te Tama a te Atua.”

Ka kōrero a Nepukaneha, ka mea, “Kia whakapaingia te Atua o Hataraka, o Mehaka, o Apereneko, nāna nei i unga mai tāna anahera, ā, whakaorangia ana e ia āna pononga i whakawhirinaki nei ki a ia, i whakaputa kē nei i te kupu a te kīngi, ā, tukua ana e rātou ō rātou tinana, he mea kei mahi rātou, kei koropiko ki tētahi atu atua, engari ki tō rātou Atua anake.

Nā, ko tāku ture tēnei e whakatakoto nei, nā, ko ngā tāngata, ko te iwi, ko te reo, he kupu kino nei tāna mō te Atua o Hataraka, o Mehaka, o Apereneko, ka haehaea rātou, ā, ka meinga ō rātou whare hei pūranga paru. Nō te mea kāhore atu he atua he rite tāna whakaora ki tā tēnei.”
