Pataje

Heoi anō tā te tāhae e haere mai ai, he tāhae, he patu, he whakamōtī hoki. I haere mai ahau kia whiwhi ai rātou ki te ora, inā, tōna nui noa atu.

“Ko ahau te hēpara pai, he hēpara pai, ka tuku i a ia anō kia mate mō ngā hipi.

E rongo ana āku hipi ki tōku reo, e mātau ana ahau ki a rātou, e aru ana hoki rātou i ahau.

E hoatu ana e ahau ki a rātou he ora tonu; e kore rātou e ngaro ake ake, e kore anō hoki tētahi e kapo atu i a rātou i roto i tōku ringa.

Ko ahau te tatau; ki te waiho ahau hei huarahi tomokanga mō tētahi, e ora ia, ā, ka haere ki roto, ka haere ki waho, ka kite hoki i te kai.

Ko ahau te hēpara pai, e mātau ana hoki ki āku, ā, e mātau ana āku ki ahau.

Ko tōku Matua, nāna nei rātou i hōmai ki ahau, nui ake i te katoa; e kore anō rātou e taea e tētahi te kapo atu i roto i te ringa o tōku Matua. Ko ahau, ko te Matua, kotahi māua.”

Pērā tonu me tō te Matua mātau ki ahau, me tōku mātau hoki ki te Matua. E tuku ana hoki ahau i ahau ki te mate mō ngā hipi.

Ehara i te mea mā tētahi tangata ahau e whakamate, engari, māku anō ahau e tuku ki te mate. Kei ahau te tikanga mō te tuku atu, kei ahau anō te tikanga mō te whakaora. Nā tōku Matua tēnei ture kua riro mai nei i ahau.”

Nā, ka mea anō a Īhu ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ahau te tatau o ngā hipi.

Tēnā ko te tangata e utua ana, ehara nei i te hēpara, ehara nei i a ia ngā hipi, i tōna kitenga i te wuruhi e haere mai ana, whakarērea ake e ia ngā hipi, oma ana; nā, ka hopukia rātou e te wuruhi, ā, whakamararatia ana ngā hipi.

“He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kāhore tētahi e tomo rā te kūwaha ki te kāinga hipi, ki te piki kē, he tāhae ia, he tangata pāhua.
