Ā, i tōna kitenga i te whakaminenga, ka haere ia ki runga ki te maunga; ā, nō ka noho ia, ka haere āna ākonga ki a ia, nā, ka puaki tōna māngai, ā, ka whakaako ia i a rātou, ka mea:


“Ka koa te hunga he rawakore nei te wairua;
nō rātou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Ka koa te hunga e tangi ana;
ka whakamārietia hoki rātou.
Ka koa te hunga ngākau māhaki;
ka riro hoki i a rātou te whenua.
Ka koa te hunga e hiakai ana,
e hiainu ana, ki te tika;
e mākona hoki rātou.
Ka koa te hunga tohu tangata;
e tohungia hoki rātou.
Ka koa te hunga ngākau mā;
e kite hoki rātou i te Atua.
Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo;
ka huaina hoki rātou he tamariki nā te Atua.
Ka koa te hunga e whakatoia ana mō te tika;
nō rātou hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
“Ka koa koutou ina tāwai rātou i a koutou, ina whakatoi, ina puaki i a rātou ngā kupu kino katoa mō koutou, he mea teka, he whakaaro hoki ki ahau. Kia hari, kia whakamanamana; he rahi hoki te utu mō koutou i te rangi; he pēnei hoki tā rātou whakatoi i ngā poropiti i mua i a koutou.”


“Ko koutou te tote o te whenua; otirā, ki te hemo te hā o te tote, mā te aha e whai tikanga tote ai? Heoi anō tōna painga, nā, ka ākiritia ki waho, ka takahia e ngā tāngata.
“Ko koutou te whakamārama o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pā e tū ana i runga i te maunga. E kore hoki e tahuna te rama, e whakatūria ki raro o te mēhua, engari, ki runga ki te tūranga; ā, ka tīaho ki ngā tāngata katoa i roto i te whare. Waihoki, kia tīaho tō koutou mārama ki te aroaro o ngā tāngata, kia kite ai rātou i ā koutou hanga pai, kia whakakorōria ai i tō koutou Matua i te rangi.”

“Kei mea koutou i haere mai ahau ki te whakakāhore i te ture, i ngā poropiti rānei; kīhai ahau i haere mai ki te whakakāhore, engari, ki te whakatutuki. He tino pono hoki tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, pahemo noa te rangi me te whenua, e kore tētahi tongi, tētahi tohu rānei o te ture e pahemo, kia rite katoa rā anō. Nā, ki te whakakāhore tētahi i tētahi mea iti rawa o ēnei kupu ako, ā, ka ako i ngā tāngata kia pērā, ka kīa ia ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi; engari, ki te whakaritea e tētahi, ki te whakaakona, ka kīa ia he nui i te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake tā koutou mahi tika i tā ngā karaipi rātou ko ngā Parihi, e kore rawa koutou e tapoko ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.”


“Kua rongo koutou, i kōrerotia ki ngā tūpuna, ‘Kaua e patu tangata; ā, ki te patu tangata tētahi, ka tau te hē ki a ia.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Ki te riri noa tētahi ki tōna teina, ka tau te hē ki a ia; ā, ki te mea tētahi ki tōna teina, ‘Wairangi!’ ka tika kia komititia. Nā, ki te mea tētahi, ‘Pōauau!’ ka tika mōna te kāpura o Kehena. Nā reira, ki te mauria e koe tāu whakahere ki te āta, ā, ka mahara i reira i hara koe ki tōu hoa; waiho tāu whakahere i reira, i mua o te āta, ā, haere, mātua houhia te rongo ki tōu teina, ka haere ai, ka mau ai i tāu whakahere.
“Kia hohoro te whakarite i tā kōrua kōrero ko tōu hoa tauwhāinga, i a kōrua anō i te ara, kei tukua koe e te hoa tauwhāinga ki te kaiwhakawā, ā, ka tukua e te kaiwhakawā ki te kātipa, ā, ka makā koe ki te whare herehere. He pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta i reira, kia utua rā anō te pātene whakamutunga.”

“Kua rongo koutou, i kōrerotia, ‘Kaua e pūremu.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Ki te titiro tētahi ki te wahine, he hiahia ki a ia, kua pūremu kē ia ki a ia i roto i tōna ngākau. Ki te hē koe i tōu kanohi matau, tīkarohia, makā atu; he pai kē hoki ki a koe ki te ngaro tētahi wāhi ōu, ā, ka kore e makā tōu tinana katoa ki Kehena. Ki te hē anō hoki koe i tōu ringa matau, pōutoa, makā atu; he pai kē ki te mate tētahi wāhi ōu, ā, ka kore e makā tōu tinana katoa ki Kehena.”


“I kōrerotia anō, ‘Ki te whakarere tētahi i tāna wahine, me hoatu ki a ia tētahi pukapuka whakarere.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tētahi i tāna wahine, hāunga mō te take moepuku, e mea ana ia i te wahine kia pūremu; ā, ki te mārena tētahi i te wahine i whakarērea, e pūremu ana ia.”

“Kua rongo anō koutou, i kōrerotia ki ngā tūpuna, ‘Kaua e oati teka, engari, me whakamana āu oati ki te Ariki.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Kaua rawa tētahi mea e oatitia; kaua te rangi, ko tō te Atua torōna hoki ia, kaua hoki te whenua, ko te tūranga hoki tērā o ōna waewae, kaua hoki a Hiruhārama; ko te pā hoki tērā o te Kīngi nui. Kaua anō e oatitia tōu mātenga, e kore hoki e āhei i a koe te mea kia mā tētahi makawe, kia mangu rānei. Erangi, ko tēnei hei kupu mā koutou, ‘Āe, āe’; ‘Kāhore, kāhore’; nō te mea ki te maha atu i ēnā, nō te kino.”


“Kua rongo koutou i kōrerotia, ‘He kanohi mō te kanohi, he niho mō te niho.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Kaua e whakauaua atu ki te kino; erangi, ki te pākia tōu pāpāringa matau e tētahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tērā ki a ia. Ā, ki te mea tētahi kia whakawākia koe, ka tangohia tōu koti, tukua atu hoki tōu ngeri ki a ia. Ā, ki te tonoa koe e tētahi kia haere kotahi te māero, kia rua āu e haere tahi ai me ia. Hoatu ki te tangata e tono mea ana i a koe, kaua hoki e tahuri kē i te tangata e mea ana ki te taonga tārewa i a koe.”


“Kua rongo koutou i kōrerotia, ‘Kia aroha ki tōu hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki tōu hoa whawhai.’ Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, Arohaina ō koutou hoa whawhai, manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou, me īnoi hoki mō te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou, e whakatoi ana i a koutou; kia tupu ai koutou hei tamariki mā tō koutou Matua i te rangi; e mea nei hoki ia i tōna rā kia whiti ki te hunga kino, ki te hunga pai, kia ua hoki te ua ki te hunga tika, ki te hunga hē. Ki te aroha hoki koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, he aha te utu e riro i a koutou? Kāhore ianei ngā pupirikana e pēnā? Ā, ki te oha koutou ki ō koutou tēina anake, he aha tā koutou mahi i nui ake i tā ētahi? Kāhore ianei ngā tauiwi e pēnā hoki? Nā, kia tika koutou, kia pērā me tō koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.”
