35 I a ia anō e kōrero ana, ka haere mai ētahi o ngā tāngata a te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea, "Kua mate tāu tamāhine. Hei aha ake māu te whakararuraru i te Kaiwhakaako?"
36 Otirā, kāhore a Īhu i aro ki te kupu i kōrerotia, ka mea atu ki te rangatira o te whare karakia, "Kaua e wehi, ko te whakapono ia kia whakapono."
37 Ā, kīhai tētahi tangata i tukua kia haere tahi me ia, ko Pita anake, ko Hēmi, ko Hoani teina o Hēmi. 38 Ā, nō te taenga atu ki te whare o te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka kite ia i te ngangau, i te nui hoki o te tangi, o te auē a ētahi. 39 Ā, i tōna tomokanga ki roto, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "He aha koutou ka ngangau ai, ka tangi ai? Kāhore te kōtiro i mate, engari e moe ana."
40 Nā, kataina iho ia e rātou. Heoi, ka oti katoa te pei ki waho, ka mau ia ki te pāpā, ki te whaea o te kōtiro, rātou ko ōna hoa, ka tomo ki te wāhi i takoto ai te kōtiro. 41 Nā, ka mau ia ki te ringa o te kōtiro, ka mea ki a ia, "Tarita kumi," ko tōna whakamāoritanga tēnei, "E kō, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe, e ara."
42 Nā, whakatika tonu ake te kōtiro, ā, haere ana; kotahi tekau mā rua hoki ōna tau. Nā, ko te tino mīharotanga i mīharo ai rātou. 43 Ā, he nui tāna whakatūpato i a rātou, kia kaua tēnei e mōhiotia e tētahi tangata; ka kī kia hoatu he kai māna.
