1 Hoani 2

12 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tamariki nonohi,

nō te mea kua murua ō koutou hara, he whakaaro hoki ki tōna ingoa.

13 Ka tuhituhi atu nei ahau ki a koutou, e ngā mātua,

nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki a ia,

arā, ki tō te tīmatanga.

Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e ngā taitamariki,

nō te mea kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino.

Ka tuhituhi atu ahau ki a koutou, e ngā tamariki nonohi,

nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki te Matua.

14 I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e ngā mātua,

nō te mea kua mātau koutou ki a ia, arā, ki tō te tīmatanga.

I tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou, e ngā taitamariki,

nō te mea he kaha koutou,

e mau ana hoki te kupu a te Atua i roto i a koutou,

ā, kua hinga i a koutou te wairua kino.

15 Kaua e aroha ki te ao, kaua anō hoki ki ngā mea o te ao. Ki te aroha tētahi ki te ao, kāhore te aroha o te Matua i roto i a ia.
