1 He tāima anō kua takoto mō ngā mea katoa, me te wā mō ngā meatanga katoa i raro i te rangi:

2 he wā e whānau ai, he wā e mate ai;

he wā e whakatō ai, he wā e hūtia ai te mea i whakatōkia;

3 he wā e patu ai, he wā e rongoā ai;

he wā e wāwāhi iho ai, he wā e hanga ake ai;

4 he wā e tangi ai, he wā e kata ai;

he wā e auē ai, he wā e kanikani ai;

5 he wā e ākiritia atu ai ngā kōhatu,

he wā e kohikohia ai ngā kōhatu,

he wā e awhi ai, he wā e kore ai e awhi;

6 he wā e rapu ai, he wā e ngaro ai;

he wā e tiaki ai, he wā e ākiri atu ai;

7 he wā e haehae ai, he wā e tuitui ai;

he wā e whakarongo puku ai, he wā e kōrero ai;

8 he wā e aroha ai, he wā e mauāhara ai;

he wā e whawhai ai, he wā e mau ai te rongo.
