Nā, i a Hōhepa a Ihowā, ā, he tangata whai rawa ia; i noho anō ia i roto i te whare o tōna ariki, o te Īhipiana

I waiho hoki e ia i te ringa o Hōhepa āna mea katoa; kīhai hoki i mōhiotia e ia tētahi o āna mea, heoi anō ko te taro i kai ai ia. Ā, he tangata ātaahua a Hōhepa, he pai hoki ia ki te titiro atu.

Ā, i tukua e te rangatira o te whare herehere ki te ringaringa o Hōhepa ngā herehere katoa i roto i te whare herehere; ko ia anō te kaimahi o ngā mea katoa i meatia e rātou i reira.

Ā, ka mau te ariki o Hōhepa ki a ia, ā, makā ana ia ki te whare herehere, ki te wāhi i herea ai ngā herehere a te kīngi, ā, noho ana ia i reira, i te whare herehere. Otiia, i a Hōhepa a Ihowā, ka puta anō tōna aroha ki a ia, ā, ka hoatu ki a ia kia manakohia ia e te rangatira o te whare herehere.

Ā, i muri i ēnei mea, ka anga ngā kanohi o te wahine a tōna ariki ki a Hōhepa; ā, ka mea ia, “Takoto tāua.” Ā, ka whakakāhore ia, ka mea hoki ki te wahine a tōna ariki, “Nā, e kore tōku ariki e mōhio ko te aha kei ahau i roto i te whare, kua hōmai nei hoki e ia āna mea katoa ki tōku ringa; kāhore tētahi i roto i tēnei whare e nui ake i ahau; kāhore anō hoki i kaiponuhia e ia tētahi mea ki ahau, ko koe anake, nō te mea ko tāna wahine koe. Nā, me pēhea e mahi ai ahau i tēnei kino nui, e hara ai ki te Atua?”

Nā, i taua wā ka haere a Hōhepa ki te whare ki te mahi i tāna mahi; ā, kāhore tētahi o ngā tāngata o te whare i reira i roto i te whare. Nā, ka hopukia ia e ia, arā tōna kākahu, ka mea, “Takoto tāua.” Nā, ka whakarērea e ia tōna kākahu ki tōna ringa, ā, rere ana, puta ana ki waho.
