1 Nā, ka hoki mai te anahera i kōrero rā ki ahau, ka whakaarahia ahau, ko tōku rite kei te tangata e whakaarahia ana i te moe. 2 Nā, ka mea ia ki ahau, "Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe?"

Anō rā ko ahau, "Kua kite ahau, nā, ko tētahi tūranga rama, he kōura katoa, me tōna peihana i tōna pito ki runga, ko ōna rama e whitu ki runga o tērā; e whitu ngā kōrere o te rama kotahi i tōna pito ki runga. 3 Nā, e rua ngā ōriwa i tōna taha, ko tētahi i te taha ki matau o te peihana, ko tētahi i tōna taha mauī."

4 Nā, ka oho atu ahau, ka mea ki te anahera i kōrero ki ahau, ka kī atu, "He aha ēnei, e tōku ariki?"

5 Kātahi te anahera i kōrero rā ki ahau ka oho, ka mea ki ahau, "Kāhore rānei koe e mōhio he aha ēnei?"

Anō rā ko ahau, "Kāhore, e tōku ariki."

6 Nā, ka oho mai ia, ka kōrero ki ahau, ka mea, "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā ki a Herupapera, e kī ana: ‘Ehara i te mea mā te uaua, mā te kaha, engari mā tōku wairua,’ e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano.

7 "Ko wai koe, e te maunga nui? I te aroaro o Herupapera hei papatairite koe; ā, ka whakaputaina mai e ia te kōhatu o runga rawa, me te pā anō ngā karanga, ‘He pai, he pai mōna.’ "

8 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 9 "Nā ngā ringa o Herupapera i whakatakoto te tūranga mō tēnei whare, mā ōna ringa anō e whakaoti; ā, ka mōhio koe nā Ihowā o ngā mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou.

10 "Ko wai oti i whakahāwea ki te rā o ngā mea ririki? Ka koa hoki rātou, ka kite hoki i te kōhatu paramu i roto i te ringa o Herupapera. Arā ēnei e whitu nei, koia nei ngā kanohi o Ihowā; e kōpikopiko ana rātou i te whenua katoa."

11 Kātahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki a ia, "He aha ēnei ōriwa e rua i te taha ki matau o te tūranga rama, i te taha hoki ki mauī?"

12 I whakahoki atu anō ahau, he tuarua, ka mea ki a ia, "He aha ēnei manga ōriwa e rua, e rua ngā kōrere kōura i piri atu ai rāua, i rere atu ai te hinu kōura i roto i aua kōrere rā?"

13 Kātahi tērā ka kōrero mai ki ahau, ka mea, "Kāhore rānei koe e mōhio ko te aha ēnei?"

Anō rā ko ahau, "Kāhore, e tōku ariki."

14 Nā, ka kī mai ia, "Ko ēnei e rua ko ngā tama a te hinu, e tū ana i te taha o te Ariki o te whenua katoa."
