Marcos 4

3 "Whaka­rongo! Nā, i haere atu te kairui ki te rui. 4 Ā, i a ia e rui ana, ka nga­horo ētahi ki te taha o te ara, ā, ko te rere­nga mai o ngā manu o te rangi, nā, kainga ake. 5 Ko ētahi i nga­horo ki te wāhi kāmaka, ki te wāhi kīhai i nui te one­one; ā, pīhi tonu ake, kāhore hoki i hōhonu te one­one. 6 Ā, nō te whiti­nga o te rā, ngaua iho; ā, nō te mea kāhore he pūtake, memenge noa iho. 7 Ko ētahi i nga­horo ki roto ki ngā tā­tarā­moa, ā, nō te tupu­nga ake o ngā tā­tarā­moa, kōwao­wao­tia ana ngā pura­pura, ā, kore ake he hua. 8 Ko ētahi i nga­horo ki te one­one pai, ā, whai hua ana; ka tupu, ka nui, ka ea ake, nō ētahi e toru tekau, nō ētahi e ono tekau, nō ētahi kotahi rau."

9 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Ki te whai tari­nga tētahi hei whaka­rongo, kia rongo ia."
