Te Mārenatanga i Kana

1 Nā, i te toru o ngā rā he mārena i Kana o Kariri, ā, i reira te whaea o Īhu. 2 I karanga­tia anō a Īhu rātou ko āna ākonga ki te mārena. 3 Ā, i te paunga o te wāina, ka mea te whaea o Īhu ki a ia, "Kāhore ā rātou wāina."

4 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "E tai, he aha tāku ki a koe? Kāhore anō kia taea noatia tōku hāora."

5 Ka mea tōna whaea ki ngā kai­mahi, "Ko tāna e mea ai ki a koutou, meatia."

6 Nā, i reira ētahi ipu kōhatu e ono e tū ana, he tikanga nā ngā Hūrai mō te horoi, e rua, e toru ngā mēhua o tētahi, o tētahi, ina kī. 7 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Whaka­kīa ngā ipu ki te wai." Ā, whaka­kīa ana e rātou, pūrena noa. 8 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Tēnā, utuhia, kawea atu ki te ranga­tira o te hākari." Ā, kawea ana e rātou. 9 Ā, nō ka whaka­mātau te ranga­tira o te hākari i te wai i whaka­wāina­tia, ā, kīhai i mōhio nō hea rānei (ko ngā pono­nga ia i utuhia ai te wai i mōhio), ka karanga te ranga­tira o te hākari ki te tāne mārena hou, 10 ka mea ki a ia, "E whaka­takoto­ria ana e ngā tāngata katoa te wāina pai i te tīma­tanga; ā, ka roa te inu­manga, mō reira te wāina he iti iho nei te pai ko koe ia, kua tohu i te wāina pai mō nāia­nei."

11 I meatia tēnei tīma­tanga mere­kara e Īhu ki Kana o Kariri, i whaka­kitea e ia tōna korōria; ā, whaka­pono ana āna ākonga ki a ia.
