35 I hiakai hoki ahau, ā, whāngainga ana e koutou. I matewai ahau, ā, whakainumia ana e koutou; he manene ahau, ā, whakamanuhiritia ana e koutou. 36 I tū tahanga, ā, whakakākahuria ana e koutou; he tūroro, ā, tirotirohia ana ahau e koutou; i te whare herehere ahau, ā, haere mai ana koutou ki ahau.’

37 "Nā, ka whakahoki te hunga tika ki a ia, ka mea, ‘E te Ariki, nōnahea mātou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, ā, whāngai ana i a koe? E mate ana rānei i te wai, ā, whakainu ana i a koe? 38 Nōnahea mātou i kite ai i a koe e manene ana, ā, whakamanuhiri ana i a koe? E tū tahanga ana rānei, ā, whakakākahu ana i a koe? 39 Nōnahea hoki mātou i kite ai i a koe e tūroro ana, i te whare herehere rānei, ā, haere ana ki a koe?’ 40 Ko reira whakahoki ai te Kīngi, mea ai ki a rātou, ‘He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ko tā koutou i mea ai ki tētahi o āku tēina, ahakoa ki te iti rawa, he meatanga tēnā ki ahau.’
