1 Ko ngā wā ia me ngā tāima, e ōku tēina, kāhore he take e tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou. 2 E mātau pū ana hoki koutou, tērā e haere mai te rā o te Ariki, ānō he tāhae i te pō. 3 I a rātou hoki e kī ana, "He rangimārie, he ora"; ko reira te mate huaki tata ai ki a rātou, ka pērā me te mamae ki te wahine hapū, e kore hoki rātou e mawhiti.

4 Ko koutou ia, e ōku tēina, kāhore i roto i te pōuri, e rite ai ki tā te tāhae te hopu ā taua rā i a koutou. 5 He tama koutou katoa nō te mārama, he tama nō te rā: ehara tātou i te pō, ehara i te pōuri.
