“E whakahōnoretia ana te pāpā e te tama, tōna ariki e te pononga. Ki te mea he matua ahau, kei hea tōku hōnore? Ki te mea he ariki ahau, kei hea te wehi ki ahau?” e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano ki a koutou, e ngā tohunga e whakahāwea nā ki tōku ingoa. “E mea nā koutou, ‘He whakahāwea aha tā mātou ki tōu ingoa?’

Ka nui nei hoki tōku ingoa i roto i ngā tauiwi, i te whitinga o te rā ā tae noa ki tōna torengitanga; ā, ka tukua he whakakakara ki tōku ingoa i ngā wāhi katoa, me te whakahere pokekore; ka nui hoki tōku ingoa i roto i ngā tauiwi,” e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.
