Êxodo 18

17 Nā, ka mea te hungawai o Mohi ki a ia, "Ehara tēnei i te pai e mea nei koe. 18 Ka honia noatia iho koe, koutou tahi ko tēnei iwi i a koe nei; he pēhi rawa hoki tēnei mea i a koe; e kore e taea e koe anake. 19 Nā, whakarongo mai ki tōku reo, māku koe e tohutohu; hei a koe te Atua, hei te aroaro o te Atua koe mō te iwi, ā, māu e kawe ngā kōrero ki te Atua. 20 Māu anō rātou e whakaako ki ngā tikanga, ki ngā ture, e whakaatu hoki ki a rātou te huarahi e haere ai rātou, me ngā mahi e mahi ai rātou. 21 Māu anō hoki e titiro i roto i te iwi katoa ētahi tāngata māia, e wehi ana i te Atua; hei te hunga pono, e kino ana ki te apo; ka waiho ai hei rangatira mō rātou, hei rangatira mō ngā mano, hei rangatira mō ngā rau, hei rangatira mō ngā rima tekau, hei rangatira mō ngā tekau. 22 Ā, mā rātou te iwi e whakawā i ngā wā katoa; ā, ko ngā mea nunui katoa, me kawe mai ki a koe; ko ngā mea nohinohi katoa ia, mā rātou e whakarite; pēnei ka māmā koe, ā, mā koutou tahi te pīkaunga. 23 Ki te mea koe i tēnei mea, ā, ka kī mai te Atua ki a koe, kātahi koe ka matatū ake, ā, ka haere mārie tēnei iwi katoa ki ō rātou kāinga."
