27 Ā, nō tōna haerenga atu ki uta, ka tūtaki ki a ia he tangata nō te pā, he rēwera ōna, he roa kāhore anō i mau kākahu, kīhai anō i noho i roto i te whare, engari ki ngā urupā. 28 Ā, i tōna kitenga i a Īhu, ka karanga, ka takoto ki tōna aroaro, he nui tōna reo ki te mea, "He aha tāku ki a koe e Īhu, e te Tama a te Atua, a te Runga Rawa? Ē, kaua rā ahau e whakamamaetia." 29 I mea hoki ia ki te wairua poke kia puta i taua tangata. He maha hoki ngā wā i hopukia ai ia e ia, e tiakina ana hoki ia, he mea here ki ngā mekameka, ki ngā here waewae; heoi, motumotuhia ana e ia ngā here, ā, āia ana ia e te rēwera ki te koraha.
30 Nā, ka ui a Īhu ki a ia, "Ko wai tōu ingoa?"
Ka mea ia, "Ko Rihiona," he tokomaha hoki ngā rēwera i tomo ki roto ki a ia. 31 Kātahi ka īnoi rātou ki a ia kia kaua rātou e tonoa e ia kia haere ki te hōhonu.
32 Nā, i reira tētahi kāhui poaka maha e kai ana i runga i te maunga; ā, ka īnoi rātou ki a ia kia tukua rātou kia tomo ki aua poaka. Ā, tukua ana rātou. 33 Ā, ko te putanga o aua rēwera i roto i te tangata, ka tomo ki roto ki ngā poaka, nā, ko te tino rerenga o te kāhui rā te pari ki te moana, ā, paremo iho.
34 Ā, nō ka kite ngā kaiwhāngai i taua mea i meatia, ka whati, ka haere ka kōrero ki te pā, ki aua whenua hoki. 35 Nā, ka haere rātou kia kite i taua mea i meatia, ā, i tō rātou taenga mai ki a Īhu, ka kite i te tangata i puta nei ngā rēwera i roto i a ia, kua oti te whakakākahu, kua tika ōna whakaaro, e noho ana i ngā waewae o Īhu, ā, ka mataku rātou.
