18 Ā, i kite te iwi katoa i ngā whatitiri, i ngā uira, i te tangi o te tētere, i te maunga hoki e paowa ana; ā, i te kitenga o te iwi, ka wiri rātou, ā, tū rawa i tawhiti. 19 Ā, ka mea rātou ki a Mohi, "Māu e kōrero mai ki a mātou, ā, ka whakarongo atu mātou; engari kaua te Atua e kōrero ki a mātou, kei mate mātou."
20 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki te iwi, "Kaua e wehi; he whakamātau hoki i a koutou i haere mai ai te Atua, kia mau ai hoki tōna wehi i ō koutou kanohi, kei hara koutou."
21 Ā, tū ana te iwi i tawhiti; ko Mohi ia, i whakatata ki te pōuri kerekere i noho ai te Atua.
Te Ture e Pā ana ki te Āta
22 Ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi: "Kia pēnei tāu kupu ki ngā tama a Īharaira: ‘Ka kite koutou kua kōrero ahau i te rangi ki a koutou. 23 Kei hanga koutou he atua kē atu ki tōku taha; kei hanga koutou he atua hiriwa, he atua kōura rānei, mō koutou.
24 " ‘Hangā he āta oneone māku, ki runga patu ai koe i āu tahunga tinana, i āu whakahere mō te pai, i āu hipi, i āu kau. I ngā wāhi katoa e whakamaharatia ai e ahau tōku ingoa ka haere atu ahau ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe. 25 Ā, ki te hanga koe i te āta kōhatu māku, kei hangā e koe ki te kōhatu hahau; ki te hāpai hoki koe i tāu toki ki taua mea, kua whakanoatia e koe. 26 Kaua anō e piki nā te arawhata ki tōku āta, kei kitea koe i reira e tū tahanga ana.’ "
