Deli

Ā, ka mea ia, “E Ihowā, e te Atua o tōku ariki, o Āperahama, kia whai wāhi ahau ākuanei, whakaputaina hoki he aroha ki tōku ariki, ki a Āperahama.

Ā, ko te kōtiro e mea ai ahau ki a ia, ‘Tukua iho tāu oko kia inu ai ahau,’ ā, ka mea ia, ‘E inu, me whakainu anō e ahau āu kāmera,’ kia rite ia i a koe mā tāu pononga, mā Īhaka; mā reira ka mōhio ai ahau e whakaputa aroha ana koe ki tōku ariki.”

Nā, ka kawea ia e Īhaka ki te tēneti o tōna whaea, o Hara. Ā, tangohia ana e ia a Ripeka, ā, ka noho ia hei wahine māna; ā, ka aroha ia ki a ia. Ā, ka whai tānga manawa a Īhaka i muri i te matenga o tōna whaea.

Nā, ka manaaki rātou i a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, “E tō mātou tuahine, kia meinga koe hei whaea mō ngā mano tini; ā, kia riro i ōu uri te kūwaha o ō rātou hoariri!”

ā, me whakaoati koe e ahau ki a Ihowā, ki te Atua o te rangi, ki te Atua hoki o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia e koe he wahine mā tāku tama i roto i ngā tamāhine a ngā Kanaani, a te iwi e noho nei ahau i roto i a rātou. Engari me haere koe ki tōku whenua, ki ōku whanaunga, ka tango mai ai i tētahi wahine mā tāku tama, mā Īhaka.”
