Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Haere mai koutou nā ki te koraha ki te wāhi motu kē, kia tā ai te manawa. He tokomaha hoki e haere mai ana, e haere atu ana, nō kīhai rawa rātou i wātea ki te kai.”

Otirā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Kei tōna kāinga anake, kei ōna whanaunga, kei tōna whare, te poropiti hapa ai i te hōnore.”

Ā, ka puta a Īhu, ka kite i te hui nui, ka aroha ki a rātou, nō te mea i rite rātou ki te hipi hēparakore; ā, ka anga ia, ka whakaako i a rātou ki ngā mea maha.

Ā, kīhai ia i āhei te mea i tētahi merekara ki reira, heoi anō, ko te whakapā i ōna ringa ki ētahi tāngata tūroro torutoru kia ora ai. Ā, mīharo ana ia ki tō rātou whakapono kore. Nā, hāereerea ana e ia ngā kāinga ā tawhio noa, whakaako ai.

Ā, ka mau ia ki ngā taro e rima, ki ngā ika hoki e rua, ka titiro ki runga ki te rangi, ka whakapai, ka whawhati i ngā taro, ā, hoatu ana ki āna ākonga kia whakatakotoria mā rātou; i tuwhaina anō hoki e ia ngā ika e rua mā rātou katoa. Ā, kai katoa ana rātou, ā, ka mākona. Ā, kotahi tekau mā rua ngā kete i kohia e rātou, kī tonu i ngā whatiwhatinga, i ngā ika hoki.
