1Ā, ka kite ahau i tētahi atu anahera kaha e heke iho ana i te rangi, he mea whakakākahu ki te kapua; ko te āniwaniwa i runga i tōna mātenga, ko tōna kanohi rite tonu ki te rā, ōna waewae ki te pou kāpura.
2I tōna ringaringa hoki tētahi pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera ana. Ā, ko tōna waewae matau e takahi ana ki te moana, ko tōna mauī ki te whenua.
3He nui anō tōna reo ki te karanga, ānō he raiona e tangi ana. Ā, i te mea ka karanga ia, ka puaki ngā reo o ngā whatitiri e whitu.
4Ā, nō ka puaki ngā reo o ngā whatitiri e whitu, ka mea ahau ki te tuhituhi. Nā, ka rangona e ahau he reo i te rangi e mea mai ana ki ahau, “Hīritia ngā mea kua whakapuakina nei e ngā whatitiri e whitu, kaua hoki ēnei e tuhituhia.”
5Nā, ko te anahera i kitea rā e ahau e tū ana i runga i te moana i runga hoki i te whenua, whakaara ana i tōna ringa matau ki te rangi,
6ā, oatitia ana e ia te Mea ora tonu ake ake, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me ōna mea, te whenua me ōna mea, te moana me ōna mea, “Kāhore ake he tāima,
7engari i ngā rā o te reo o te whitu o ngā anahera, ina mea ia ki te whakatangi, ka whakaotia te mea ngaro a te Atua, tāna rongopai i kauwhau ai ki āna pononga, ki ngā poropiti.”
8Ā, ka kōrero anō ki ahau te reo i rongo ai ahau i te rangi, ka mea, “Tīkina atu te pukapuka nohinohi e tuwhera nā i te ringaringa o te anahera e tū nā i runga i te moana, i runga anō i te whenua.”
9Nā, ka haere ahau ki te anahera, ka mea ki a ia, “Hōmai ki ahau te pukapuka nohinohi nā.” Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, “Tangohia, kainga; ā, ka kawa tōu kōpū, ka reka ia ki tōu māngai, ānō he honi.”
10Nā, ka tango ahau i te pukapuka nohinohi i te ringaringa o te anahera, kainga ana e ahau; ā, i reka anō ki tōku māngai, ānō he honi. Nō tāku kainga kua kawa tōku kōpū.
11Ā, ka mea mai rātou ki ahau, “Me poropiti anō koe mō ngā huihuinga tokomaha o ngā tāngata, o ngā iwi, o ngā reo, o ngā kīngi.”
