1Nā, kua huihui ngā Pirihitini i ā rātou ope ki te whawhai, ā, ka whakaminea ki Hokoho o Hūrā, noho ana i waenganui o Hokoho, o Ateka, i Epeheramime.
2I huihui anō a Haora rātou ko ngā tāngata o Īharaira, i noho ki te raorao o Eraha; ā, ka whakatakoto i ā rātou ngohi mō te whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini.
3Nā, i runga ngā Pirihitini i te maunga i tēnei taha e tū ana, me Īharaira i te maunga i tērā taha e tū ana; he whārua hoki i waenganui o rātou.
4Nā, ko te putanga o tētahi tangata, he papatū, i roto i te puni o ngā Pirihitini, ko tōna ingoa, ko Koriata, nō Kāta, e ono whatīanga kotahi hoki whanganga a te ringa tōna roa.
5Ā, he parāhi te pōtae o tōna mātenga, he pukupuku unahi hoki tōna kākahu; ko te taimaha o te pukupuku e rima mano hekere parāhi.
6He whakapuru tao parāhi kei ōna waewae, ā, i ōna pokohiwi he tīmata parāhi.
7Rite tonu hoki ki te rākau a te kaiwhatu te kakau o tāna taoroa. Nā, ko te taimaha o te tete o tāna taoroa e ono rau hekere rino; i mua anō i a ia e haere ana te kaimau o tāna whakangungu rākau.
8Nā, ka tū ia, ā, ka karanga ki ngā ngohi a Īharaira, ka mea ki a rātou, “He aha koutou i puta mai ai ki te whakatakoto i ā koutou ngohi? Ehara ianei ahau i te Pirihitini, ko koutou he pononga nā Haora? Whiriwhiria he tangata mā koutou, ā, kia heke iho ia ki ahau.
9Ki te kaha ia ki te whawhai ki ahau, ki te patu i ahau, nā, ko mātou hei pononga mā koutou; ki te kaha ia ko ahau i a ia, ki te patu i a ia, nā hei pononga koutou mā mātou, ā, me mahi koutou ki a mātou.”
10I mea anō taua Pirihitini, “Tēnei tāku whakatara ināianei mō ngā ngohi a Īharaira; hōmai he tangata ki ahau kia whawhai māua.”
11Ā, i te rongonga o Haora rātou ko Īharaira katoa ki ēnei kupu a te Pirihitini, hopī noa iho rātou, nui atu te wehi.
Ko Rāwiri i roto i te Puni a Haora12Nā, he tama a Rāwiri nā taua Ēparati o Pēterehema Hūrā, ko Hehe nei tōna ingoa, tokowaru hoki āna tama. Ā, i ngā rā o Haora kua koroheketia taua tangata i roto i ngā tāngata.
13Nā, tokotoru ngā tama a Hehe, ko ngā kaumātua, i haere, i aru i a Haora ki te pakanga; ko ngā ingoa ēnei o āna tama tokotoru i haere nei ki te pakanga, ko Eriapa te mātāmua, ko tō muri iho i a ia ko Apinarapa, ā, ko Hamaha te tuatoru.
14Ko Rāwiri hoki tō muri rawa; nā, aru ana ngā mea kaumātua tokotoru i a Haora.
15Nā, haere ai a Rāwiri, ā, ka hoki atu i a Haora ki te tiaki i ngā hipi a tōna pāpā i Pēterehema.
16Nā, i te ata, i te ahiahi, ka whakatata mai taua Pirihitini, ka whakaatu i a ia, e whā tekau ngā rā.
17Nā, ka mea a Hehe ki tāna tama, ki a Rāwiri, “Tēnā, maua atu tētahi wāhi o tēnei wīti pāhūhū, kia kotahi epa, mā ōu tuākana, me ēnei taro kotahi tekau, rere atu ki te puni, ki ōu tuākana.
18Maua atu hoki ēnei tīhi kotahi tekau ki tō rātou rangatira mano, ka tirotiro atu kei te pēhea ōu tuākana, ka tango mai ai i ā rātou tohu.
19Nā, i te raorao o Eraha a Haora me rātou, me ngā tāngata katoa hoki o Īharaira e whawhai ana ki ngā Pirihitini.”
20Nā, ka maranga wawe a Rāwiri i te ata, tukua atu ana e ia ngā hipi ki te kaitiaki, ā, mauria ana aua mea e ia, haere ana; pērā ana ia me tā Hehe i whakahau ai ki a ia. Ā, nō tōna taenga ki te parepare e haere ana te ope ki te whawhai, e hāmama ana, mō te whai.
21Kua oti hoki i a Īharaira rātou ko ngā Pirihitini ngā ngohi te whakatakoto, tēnei ngohi hei whawhai ki tērā ngohi.
22Nā, tukua ana e Rāwiri tāna pīkaunga, ki te ringa o te kaitiaki o ngā pīkaunga, ā, rere ana ki te taua, ka tae, ka oha ki ōna tuākana.
23I a ia anō e kōrero ana ki a rātou, nā, ko taua papatū, ko te Pirihitini o Kāta, ko Koriata tōna ingoa, e haere mai ana i roto i ngā ngohi a ngā Pirihitini, ā, ka kōrero ko aua kōrero rā anō, ā, ka rongo a Rāwiri.
24Ā, i te kitenga o ngā tāngata katoa o Īharaira i taua tangata, rere ana rātou i tōna aroaro, ā, nui atu tō rātou wehi.
25Nā, ka mea ngā tāngata o Īharaira, “I kite rānei koutou i taua tangata i haere mai nei? He pono he whakatara mō Īharaira i haere mai ai ia. Nā, ko te tangata e patua ai ia, nui atu ngā taonga e hōmai e te kīngi ki a ia, ka hōmai anō e ia tāna tamāhine ki a ia, ka whakarangatiratia anō te whare o tōna pāpā i roto i a Īharaira.”
26Nā, ka kōrero a Rāwiri ki ngā tāngata e tū ana i tōna taha, ka mea, “Ka pēheatia te tangata e patua ai tēnei Pirihitini, e mutu ai te tāwai o Īharaira? Ko wai hoki tēnei Pirihitini kokotikore i whakatara ai ia ki ngā ngohi a te Atua ora?”
27Nā, ka pēnei te whakahoki a te iwi ki a ia, ka mea rātou, “Ka pērā anō te hanga ki te tangata, e patua ai ia.”
28Ā, nō te rongonga o Eriapa, o tōna tuakana mātāmua, i a ia e kōrero ana ki aua tāngata, ko te tino muranga o te riri o Eriapa ki a Rāwiri, ka mea ia, “He aha koe i haere mai ai? I tukua e koe ki a wai aua hipi torutoru rā i te koraha? E mōhio ana ahau ki tōu whakapehapeha, ki te kino anō hoki o tōu ngākau, he mātakitaki hoki i te whawhai i haere mai ai koe ki raro nei.”
29Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri, “I aha koia ahau? Kāhore rānei he take?”
30Nā, ka tahuri atu ia i a ia ki tētahi atu, ā, ka kōrero atu ko aua kupu anō; ā, rite tonu ki te kupu tuatahi te kupu i whakahokia mai e te iwi ki a ia.
31Ā, nō ka rangona ngā kupu i kōrerotia e Rāwiri, kōrerotia ana e rātou ki a Haora; ā, ka tono ia kia tīkina ia.
32Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Haora, “Kei hopī te ngākau o tētahi ki a ia; mā tāu pononga e haere ki te whawhai ki tēnei Pirihitini.”
33Nā, ka mea a Haora ki a Rāwiri, “E kore e taea e koe te haere ki tēnei Pirihitini whawhai ai; he tamariki nei hoki koe, he tangata hāpai patu ia nō tōna tamarikitanga ake.”
34Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Haora, “I te tiaki tāu pononga i ngā hipi a tōna pāpā. Nā, ko te haerenga mai o tētahi raiona, o tētahi pea, kāhakina atu ana he reme i roto i te kāhui;
35nā, ka puta atu ahau ki te whai i a ia, ā, patua ana ia e ahau; tangohia mai ana hoki te reme i roto i tōna waha. Ā, nō tōna whakatikanga mai ki ahau, hopukia ana tōna kumikumi e ahau, patua iho kia mate.
36I patua rūruatia te raiona me te pea e tāu pononga; ā, ka rite tēnei Pirihitini kokotikore ki tētahi o rāua; mōna i whakatara ki ngā ngohi a te Atua ora.”
37I mea anō a Rāwiri, “Mā Ihowā nāna nei ahau i whakaora i te wae o te raiona, i te wae o te pea, māna ahau e whakaora i te ringa o tēnei Pirihitini.”
Anō rā ko Haora ki a Rāwiri, “Haere, hei a koe anō a Ihowā.”
38Nā, ka whakakākahuria a Rāwiri e Haora ki ōna kākahu, i pōtaea anō tōna mātenga e ia ki te pōtae parāhi; i whakakākahuria anō hoki e ia he pukupuku rino ki a ia.
39Ā, whītikiria ana e Rāwiri tāna hoari ki waho ake o ōna kākahu; ka anga, ka haere; kīhai hoki i whakamātauria e ia.
Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Haora, “E kore e tika tāku haere i ēnei, kāhore hoki i whakamātauria e ahau.” Nā, whakarērea atu ana e Rāwiri.
40Nā, ka maua atu e ia ko tāna tokotoko i tōna ringa; i whiriwhiria anō ētahi kōhatu māeneene e rima māna i roto i te awa, ā, whaowhina ana ki roto ki tāna pēke hēpara, arā ki te pūtea; i tōna ringa anō tāna kōtaha, nā, ko tōna whakatatanga atu ki te Pirihitini.
Ka Patua e Rāwiri a Koriata41Ā, i haere tonu mai te Pirihitini, i whakatata mai ki a Rāwiri; ko te kaimau anō o tāna whakangungu rākau i haere i mua i a ia.
42Ā, nō te tirotirohanga o te Pirihitini, ka kite i a Rāwiri, whakahāwea ana ki a ia; he taitamariki hoki ia, he kiri pūwhero, he ātaahua hoki.
43Nā, ka mea te Pirihitini ki a Rāwiri, “He kurī ahau i haere mai ai koe me ngā tokotoko ki ahau?” Nā, kangā iho a Rāwiri e te Pirihitini ki ōna atua.
44I mea anō te Pirihitini ki a Rāwiri, “Haere mai ki ahau, ā, ka hoatu e ahau ōu kikokiko mā ngā manu o te rangi, mā ngā kararehe o te pārae.”
45Kātahi ka mea a Rāwiri ki te Pirihitini, “I haere mai koe ki ahau me te hoari, me te taoroa, me te tīmata; ko ahau ia ka haere atu nei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā o ngā mano, o te Atua o ngā taua a Īharaira, o tāu i whakatara ake nā.
46Ko āianei koe tukua mai ai e Ihowā ki tōku ringa, ā, ka patua koe e ahau, ka tangohia tōu upoko i a koe, ā, ka hoatu āianei ngā tinana o te ope o ngā Pirihitini mā ngā manu o te rangi, mā ngā kararehe mohoao o te whenua, ā, ka mōhio te whenua katoa he Atua anō tō Īharaira.
47Ā, ka mōhio tēnei whakaminenga katoa, ehara te hoari, te taoroa rānei, i tā Ihowā mea hei whakaora; nā Ihowā hoki te whawhai, ā, māna koutou e hōmai ki ō mātou ringa.”
48Nā, ka whakatika te Pirihitini, ka haere mai, ka whakatata ki te whakatūtaki i a Rāwiri, nā, ka hohoro a Rāwiri, ā, rere ana ki te taua kia tūtaki ki te Pirihitini.
49Nā, kua totoro iho te ringa o Rāwiri ki roto ki te pēke, kei te tango i tētahi kōhatu i roto, piua atu ana e ia. Nā, kua tū te rae o te Pirihitini, toremi atu te kōhatu ki roto ki tōna rae; nā, hinga tāpapa iho ana ia ki te whenua.
50Heoi he kōtaha, he kōhatu tā Rāwiri, ā, hinga ana i a ia te Pirihitini, patua ana e ia, mate rawa. Otiia, kāhore he hoari i te ringa o Rāwiri.
51Kātahi ka rere a Rāwiri, ā, tū ana i runga i te Pirihitini, nā, ka mau ki tāna hoari, unuhia ana e ia i roto i te takotoranga, nā, whakamatea ana ia, ā, tapahia ana tōna upoko ki taua hoari.
Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā Pirihitini kua mate tō rātou toa, whati ana rātou.
52Nā, ka whakatika ngā tāngata o Īharaira rātou ko Hūrā, hāmama ana, nā, whāia ana e rātou ngā Pirihitini ā tae noa koe ki te raorao, ki ngā kūwaha o Ekerono. Nā, hinga ana ngā mea i patua o ngā Pirihitini i te ara ki Haaraimi ā tae noa ki Kāta, ki Ekerono.
53Nā, ka hoki ngā tama a Īharaira i te whai i ngā Pirihitini, nā, kei te pāhua i tō rātou puni.
54Nā, ka mau a Rāwiri ki te upoko o te Pirihitini, ā, kawea ana ki Hiruhārama: ko āna mea ia mō te patu i waiho e ia i tōna tēneti.
Ka Whakamōhio a Rāwiri ki a Haora55Nā, i te kitenga o Haora i a Rāwiri e haere atu ana ki te tū i te Pirihitini, ka mea ia ki a Āpanēre, ki te rangatira ope, “E Āpanēre, he tama nā wai tēnā tamaiti?”
Ka mea a Āpanēre, “E ora ana tōu wairua, e te kīngi, kāhore ahau e mōhio.”
56Nā, ka mea te kīngi, “Ui atu he tama nā wai taua tamaiti.”
57Nā, i te hokinga mai o Rāwiri i te patu i te Pirihitini, ka mau a Āpanēre ki a ia, ā, kawea ana ki te aroaro o Haora, me te pane anō o te Pirihitini i tōna ringa.
58Nā, ka mea a Haora ki a ia, “E tama, nā wai koe tamaiti?”
Anō rā ko Rāwiri, “He tama ahau nā tāu pononga, nā Hehe o Pēterehema.”
