Deli

I mea anō te Atua ki a ia, “Ko ahau te Atua Kaha Rawa: kia hua koe, kia tini; kia puta he iwi, he huinga iwi anō hoki i roto i a koe, kia puta anō hoki ngā kīngi i roto i tōu hope. Ko te whenua hoki i hoatu e ahau ki a Āperahama rāua ko Īhaka, ka hoatu anō e ahau ki a koe, ka hoatu anō hoki e ahau tēnā whenua ki ōu uri i muri i a koe.”

Ā, whakatika tātou, ka haere ake ki Pētēre; ā, ka hangā e ahau ki reira tētahi āta mā te Atua i whakarongo mai nei ki ahau i te rā i pōuri ai ahau, i tata anō hoki ki ahau i te huarahi i haere ai ahau.”

Ā, ka mea te Atua ki a ia, “Ko Hākopa tōu ingoa; e kore tōu ingoa e huaina ko Hākopa ā muri ake nei, engari ko Īharaira hei ingoa mōu.” Nā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Īharaira.

Kātahi ka mea a Hākopa ki tōna whare, ki ōna tāngata katoa hoki, “Whakarērea atu ngā atua kē i roto i a koutou, e pure i a koutou, ā, kākahuria ētahi kākahu kē mō koutou.

Nā, ka mea te Atua ki a Hākopa, “Whakatika, haere ake ki Pētēre, ki reira noho ai; ka hanga hoki ki reira i tētahi āta mā te Atua i puta mai nei ki a koe, i tōu rerenga mai i te aroaro o Ēhau, o tōu tuakana.”

Nā, i te mea ka haere tōna wairua, (i mate hoki ia), ka huaina e ia tōna ingoa ko Penoni; nā tōna pāpā ia i hua ko Pineamine.
