Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Ko ahau te taro o te ora. Ki te haere mai tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e hiakai; ki te whakapono hoki tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa ia e matewai.

Ko te wairua te whakaora ana; kāhore a te kikokiko wāhi. Ko ngā kupu e kōrero nei ahau ki a koutou he wairua, he ora.

Aua e mahia te kai memeha, engari, te kai e mau tonu ana ā te ora tonu rā anō, ko tā te Tama hoki a te tangata e hoatu ai ki a koutou. Kua oti hoki ia te whai tohu e te Atua, e te Matua.”

Ko tā tōku Matua hoki tēnei i pai ai, ko te tangata e kite ana i te Tama, e whakapono ana anō ki a ia, kia whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu; māku anō ia e whakaara ake ā te rā whakamutunga.”

Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko tā te Atua mahi tēnei, kia whakapono koutou ki tāna i tono mai ai.”

Ko ā te Matua e hōmai ai ki ahau ka haere katoa mai ki ahau; ā, ki te haere mai tētahi ki ahau, e kore rawa e pangā e ahau ki waho

Nā, ka whakahokia e Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, me haere mātou ki a wai? Kei a koe ngā kupu o te ora tonu.

Ko ahau te taro ora i heke iho i te rangi; ki te kai tētahi i tēnei taro, e ora tonu ia. Āe rā, ko te taro e hoatu e ahau ko ōku kikokiko, e hoatu e ahau hei oranga mō te ao.”

Kāhore he tangata e āhei te haere mai ki ahau, ki te kāhore ia e kūmea mai e te Matua, nāna nei ahau i tono mai. Ā, māku anō ia e whakaara ake ā te rā whakamutunga.

Ko te taro hoki a te Atua ko ia e heke iho ana i te rangi, e hōmai ana i te ora ki te ao.”

Ko ahau te taro o te ora.

Nā, ka mau a Īhu ki ngā taro; ā, ka mutu te whakawhetai, ka tuwha atu ki te hunga e noho rā; me ngā ika anō, tā rātou i pai ai. Ā, nō ka mākona rātou, ka mea ia ki āna ākonga, “Kohikohia ngā toenga o ngā whatiwhatinga, kei maumauria tētahi wāhi.”

Nā, i tō rātou hoenga atu, e rua tekau mā rima, e toru tekau rānei pāronga, ka kite i a Īhu e haere māori ana i runga i te moana, e whakatata ana ki te kaipuke; nā ka mataku rātou. Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ko ahau tēnei, aua e wehi.”
