Nā, ka īnoi atu ahau ki te Ariki, ki tōku Atua, ka whāki, ka mea, “E te Ariki, e te Atua nui, e te Atua whakamataku, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te atawhai mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i āna whakahau.

Kia anga mai, e tōku Atua, tōu taringa, whakarongo hoki, titiro mai hoki ōu kanohi, kia kitea ai e koe ō mātou matenga, me te pā anō kua huaina nei tōu ingoa mō reira. Ehara hoki i te mea he tika nō mātou i tukua atu ai e mātou ā mātou īnoi ki tōu aroaro, engari he nui nō āu mahi tohu. Whakarongo, e te Ariki! E te Ariki, murua te hē! E te Ariki, whakarongo mai, e mahi! Kaua e whakaroa; kia mahara anō ki a koe, e tōku Atua, kua oti hoki tōu ingoa te whakahua mō tāu pā, mō tāu iwi.”

Nā, ka anga tōku mata ki te Ariki, ki te Atua; rapua ana e ahau i runga i te karakia, i te īnoi, i te nohopuku, i te kākahu taratara, i te pungarehu.

Nā te Ariki, nā tō mātou Atua, ngā mahi tohu me ngā murunga hara, ko mātou ia kua whakakeke ki a ia

Ā, ka hangā e ia he kawenata pūmau ki ētahi tokomaha, kotahi te wiki; ka tae ki te hāwhe o te wiki e meinga ana e ia kia mutu te patunga tapu me te whakahere. Nā, ka haere mai tētahi i runga i te parirau o ngā mea whakarihariha, māna e whakaururua; ā, ka ringihia he riri ki runga ki te kaiwhakangaro, ā taea rawatia anō te whakaotinga, he mea kua oti te whakarite.”
