Te Whakaoratanga i te Kaukauranga

1 Muri iho i ēnei mea he hākari tā ngā Hūrai, ā, haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama. 2 Nā, kei Hiruhārama tētahi wai kau­kau­ranga kei te tatau hipi, tōna ingoa Hiperu ko Petehera; e rima ōna whaka­mahau. 3 Nā, kei roto i ēnei e takoto ana tōna tini o ngā tūroro, o ngā matapō, o ngā kopa, o ngā memenge, e tatari ana ki te pō­kare­kare­nga o te wai. 4 Heke iho ai hoki tētahi ana­hera i te wā i rite ai ki te kau­kau­ranga, whaka­pō­kare­kare ai i te wai; ā, ko ia kua tae wawe i muri iho o te pō­kare­kare­nga o te wai i ora i tōna mate, ahakoa he aha, he aha. 5 Nā, kei reira tētahi tangata, e toru tekau mā waru ngā tau e mate ana. 6 Nō te kite­nga o Īhu i a ia e takoto ana, ka mātau kua roa kē te wā ōna e mate ana, ka mea ki a ia, "E pai ana rānei koe kia whaka­ora­ngia?"

7 Ka whaka­hokia e taua tūroro ki a ia, "E te Ariki, kāhore āku tāngata hei tuku i ahau ki te kau­kau­ranga, ina whaka­pō­kare­karea te wai; heoi, i ahau e haere ana, ka heke iho tētahi i mua i ahau."

8 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Whaka­tika, tango­hia ake tōu moenga, haere." 9 Ā, ora tonu ake taua tangata, ā, tango­hia ake ana e ia tōna moenga, haere ana.

Ko te hāpati anō taua rā.
