18 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te kaihanga o nga rangi; ko ia te Atua; nana i whakawhaiahua te whenua, nana i mahi; nana i whakapumau, kihai i hanga e ia hei takoto kau, i whakaahuatia e ia hei nohoanga. Ko Ihowa ahau, kahore ke atu.

18 For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.
