Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama

12 I te aonga ake ka rongo te mano tini i haere nei ki te hākari, e haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama. 13 Ka mau rātou ki ngā manga nīkau, haere ana ki te whaka­tau i a ia, me te karanga, "Ohana! Ka whaka­pai­ngia ia, e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, te Kīngi o Īharaira!"

14 Ā, nō ka kite a Īhu i tētahi kūao kāihe, ka noho ia i runga; ka pērā anō me te mea i tuhi­tuhia,

15 "Kaua e mataku, e te tamā­hine a Hiona.

Nā, kei te haere mai tōu Kīngi,

e noho ana i runga i te kūao kāihe."

16 Otiia, kīhai āna ākonga i mātau wawe ki ēnei mea; engari, ka oti a Īhu te whaka­korōria, kātahi rātou ka mahara kua tuhi­tuhia ēnei mea mōna, kua meinga anō ēnei mea ki a ia.

17 I whaka­ae anō te hunga i tōna taha i tāna karanga­tanga i a Raharuhi i roto i te urupā, i tāna whaka­ara­hanga hoki i a ia i te hunga mate. 18 Nā, konei hoki te mano i whaka­tau ai i a ia, i rongo hoki rātou, kua meinga tēnei mere­kara e ia. 19 Nā, ka mea ngā Parihi ki a rātou anō, "Ka kite rānei koutou kāhore ā koutou wāhi? Nā, kua riro te ao ki te whai i a ia."
