1 Kīngi.

Ā, nō te rongonga o te Kuīni o Hēpā ki te rongo o Horomona, ki tāna i mea ai mō te ingoa o Ihowā, ka haere mai ia ki te whakamātau i a ia ki ngā kupu pakeke. 
Nā, haere mai ana ia ki Hiruhārama, nui atu hoki te tira, he kāmera e waha ana i ngā mea kakara, i tōna nui o te kōura, i te kōhatu utu nui; nā, i tōna haerenga ki a Horomona, ka kōrerotia e ia ki a ia ngā mea katoa i roto i tōna ngākau. 
Ā, whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o āna kupu katoa, kāhore he kupu i ngaro i te kīngi, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia. 
Ā, nō te kitenga o te Kuīni o Hēpā i te mōhio katoa o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hangā e ia, 
i te kai o tāna tēpu, i te nohoanga o āna tāngata, i te tūranga o āna kaimahi, i ō rātou kākahu, i āna kairiringi wāina, i tōna pikitanga i piki atu ai ki te whare o Ihowā, kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia. 
Ā, ka mea ia ki te kīngi, “Pono tonu ngā mea i rongo ai ahau i tōku whenua mō āu mahi, mō tōu mōhio. 
Heoi, kīhai ahau i whakapono ki aua kōrero, ā tae noa mai ahau, kite noa ōku kanohi. Nanā, kīhai te hāwhe i kōrerotia ki ahau; nui atu tōu mōhio, tōu pai, i te rongo i rongo ai ahau. 
Anō te hari o āu tāngata, anō te hari o ēnei pononga āu e tū tonu nei i tōu aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tōu mōhio! 
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, tōu Atua i whakaahuareka nei ki a koe, i hōmai nei i a koe ki runga ki te torōna o Īharaira. He aroha mau tonu hoki nō Ihowā ki a Īharaira, nā, meinga ana koe e ia hei kīngi, hei mahi i te whakawā, i te tika.” 
Nā, hōmai ana e ia ki te kīngi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata kōura, tōna tini o ngā mea kakara, me ngā kōhatu utu nui; kāhore he mea kakara i tae mai i muri nei hei rite te nui ki ēnei i hōmai nei e te Kuīni o Hēpā ki a Kīngi Horomona. 
Ā, nā ngā kaipuke o Hīrama nāna nei i mau mai te kōura i Ōpira, nā reira anō i kawe mai ngā rākau aramuka me ngā kōhatu utu nui i Ōpira, tōna tini. 
Nā, ka hangā aua rākau aramuka e te kīngi hei pou mō te whare o Ihowā, mō te whare anō o te kīngi, hei hāpa, hei hātere, he mea mā ngā kaiwaiata; kāhore anō i tae noa mai he rākau aramuka hei rite, kāhore hoki i kitea i mua, ā taea noatia tēnei rā. 
Nā, ka hoatu e Kīngi Horomona ki te Kuīni o Hēpā ngā mea katoa i pai ai ia, āna hoki i tono ai, he tāpiri ki runga ki ngā mea i hoatu e te ringa o Kīngi Horomona ki a ia. Heoi, ka tahuri ia, ā, haere ana rātou ko āna tāngata ki tōna whenua. 
Nā, ko te taimaha o te kōura i tae ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau mā ono taranata kōura; 
hāunga a ngā kairapu taonga, i mau mai ai me ngā taonga a ngā kaihokohoko, a ngā kīngi katoa o Arāpia, a ngā kāwana o te whenua. 
Nā, ka hangā e Kīngi Horomona ētahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te kōura; e ono rau ngā hekere kōura ki te pukupuku kotahi. 
Ā, i hangaia e ia ētahi pukupuku iti iho e toru rau, he mea patu te kōura; e toru pāuna kōura ki te pukupuku kotahi; ā, hoatu ana e te kīngi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanōna. 
Ā, i hangā e te kīngi tētahi torōna nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te kōura pai rawa. 
E ono ngā kaupae ki te torōna, he mea porotaka a runga o muri o te torōna; he okiokinga ringa anō kei te wāhi e nohoia ana, i tētahi taha; i tētahi taha, e rua anō ngā raiona e tū ana i te taha o ngā okiokinga. 
Kotahi tekau mā rua hoki ngā raiona i reira e tū ana i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, i runga i ngā kaupae e ono; kāhore he mea pērā i hangā i tētahi atu rangatiratanga. 
Nā, ko ngā oko inu katoa a Kīngi Horomona, he kōura kau; me ngā oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanōna, he kōura parakore; kāhore he hiriwa; kīhai tērā i kīia he mea nui ngā rā o Horomona. 
He maha hoki a te kīngi kaipuke ki Tarahihi i te moana, he mea huihui ki ngā kaipuke a Hīrama. Kotahi te ūnga mai i ngā tau e toru o ngā kaipuke o Tarahihi, hei kawe mai i te kōura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i ngā makimaki, me ngā pīkake. 
Nā, nui atu a Kīngi Horomona i ngā kīngi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mōhio. 
I whāia anō a Horomona e ngā whenua katoa, kia rongo ai rātou i tōna mōhio i hōmai nei e te Atua ki tōna ngākau. 
Me te kawe mai anō rātou i tāna hākari, i tāna hākari, i ngā oko hiriwa, i ngā oko kōura, i ngā kākahu, i ngā mea mō te whawhai, i ngā kakara reka, i ngā hōiho, i ngā muera, he mea tatau ā-tau tonu. 
Nā, ka āmia e Horomona he hāriata, he kaieke hōiho; kotahi mano e whā rau ana hāriata, tekau mā rua mano ngā kainoho hōiho, he mea wehe nāna ki ngā pā hāriata, ki te kīngi hoki, ki Hiruhārama. 
Nā, meinga ana te hiriwa e te kīngi ki Hiruhārama kia rite ki te kōhatu; i meinga anō e ia ngā hīta kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao te tini. 
Ā, ko ngā hōiho o Horomona, he mea mau mai i Īhipa; nā ngā kaihoko a te kīngi i tango kāhui mai, tēnā kāhui me tōna utu. 
Nā, e ono rau ngā hekere hiriwa i riro ai te hāriata i puta ai i Īhipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hōiho; ko rātou hei kawe mō ngā kīngi katoa o ngā Hiti, mō ngā kīngi o Hīria.
