1He whakahau tēnei nāku ki ngā kaumātua i roto i a koutou, he hoa kaumātua hoki ahau, he kaiwhakaatu mō ngā mamae o te Karaiti, kua whiwhi tahi nei hoki ki te korōria e whakakitea mai i muri.
2Whāngainga te kāhui a te Atua i roto i a koutou; kaua e ngākaukore ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua, mō te taonga hē, engari i runga i te ngākau nui.
3Kaua anō hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki tā te Atua wāhi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kāhui.
4Ā, kia puta mai te Tino Hēpara, ka whiwhi koutou ki te karauna korōria e kore e pirau.
5Me koutou anō hoki, e ngā taitamariki, kia ngohengohe ki ngā kaumātua. Kia ngohengohe anō hoki, koutou katoa, tētahi ki tētahi, ko te ngākau pāpaku anō hei whītiki mō koutou; nō te mea hoki,
“E pakeke ana te Atua ki te hunga whakapehapeha,
ka hoatu ia e ia he aroha noa ki te hunga pāpaku.”
6Nā, whakapāpaku iho koutou i raro i te ringaringa kaha o te Atua, kia whakateiteitia ake ai koutou e ia i te, wā e pai ai.
7Makā atu ō koutou mānukanuka katoa ki runga ki a ia; e whakaaro ana hoki ia ki a koutou.
8Kia mataara, kia matapopore; kei te hāereere hoki tō koutou hoa whawhai, te rēwera, ānō he raiona e ngengere ana, e rapu ana i te tangata hei horomanga māna.
9Kia ū ki te whakapono, ka tū atu ai ki a ia; me te mahara anō ka rite aua mamae nei anō i ō koutou tēina i te ao.
10Nā, mā te Atua o ngā mahi aroha noa katoa, i karangatia ai koutou ki tōna korōria mutungakore i roto i a Karaiti Īhu, ka oti koutou te whakamamae i tēnei wā iti nei, māna koutou e mea kia tino rite, māna e whakaū, māna e whakakaha, māna e whakapūmau.
11Waiho atu i a ia te korōria me te kaha ake ake. Āmine.
Poroporoaki12Kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ētahi kupu torutoru, hei maunga atu mā Hirawanu; he teina pono ia nō koutou ki tōku whakaaro. He whakahau atu tēnei, he whakaatu nāku, ko te tino aroha noa tēnei o te Atua e tū nei koutou.
13Tēnei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hāhi i Papurōna, i whiriwhiria ngātahitia nei koutou; me tāku tamaiti anō hoki me Māka.
14Oha atu tētahi ki tētahi, hei te kihi aroha anō.
Kia tau te rangimārie ki a koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Īhu.
