Nā, i mua ake o te Hākari o te Kapenga, ka mahara a Īhu kua taka tōna wā e haere atu ai ia i tēnei ao ki te Matua; aroha ana ia ki ōna o te ao nei, arohaina ana rātou taea noatia te mutunga. 
Ā, i te mutunga o te hapa, kua whakamaharatia noatia ake anō hoki e te rēwera te ngākau o Hūrā Ikariote, tama a Haimona, kia tukua ia. 
Ā, ka mahara a Īhu kua oti ngā mea katoa te hōmai e te Matua ki ōna ringa, i haere mai ia i te Atua, e hoki atu ana ki te Atua; 
ka whakatika ia i te hapa, ka whakarere i ōna kākahu, ka mau ki te tauera, ka whītiki i a ia. 
Me i reira, ka ringihia e ia he wai ki te peihana, ā, ka anga ka horoi i ngā waewae o ngā ākonga, ka muru hoki ki te tauera i whītikiria ai ia. 
Ā, ka tae ia ki a Haimona Pita, ka mea tērā ki a ia, “E te Ariki, e horoi ana koe i ōku waewae?” 
Ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “E kore koe e mātau āianei ki tāku e mea nei; otirā, e mātau koe ā mua ake nei.” 
Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, “E kore rawa koe e horoi i ōku waewae.” Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te kore ahau e horoi i a koe, kāhore āu wāhi i roto i ahau.” 
Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, aua rā ko ōku waewae anake, engari, ko ōku ringa me tōku mātenga.” 
Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ki te mea i te kaukau tētahi, kāhore atu he aha māna, ko te horoi anake i ōna waewae, e mā katoa ana hoki ia. E mā ana koutou, otirā kāhore katoa.” 
I mōhio hoki ia ki te tangata e tukua ai ia; koia ia i mea ai, “Kāhore koutou katoa i mā.” 
Ā, ka oti ō rātou waewae te horoi, ka mau ia ki ōna kākahu, ka noho anō, nā, ka mea ki a rātou, “E mātau ana i rānei koutou ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou? 
E karangatia ana ahau e koutou, ‘E te Kaiwhakaako, E te Ariki,’ ā, he tika tā koutou kōrero, ko ahau hoki ia. 
Nā, kua horoia nei ō koutou waewae e ahau, e tō koutou Ariki, e tō koutou Kaiwhakaako me horoi anō hoki e koutou ngā waewae o tētahi, o tētahi o koutou. 
Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau he tauira mō koutou, kia rite ai tā koutou mahi ki tāku i mea nei ki a koutou. 
He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore te pononga e nui ake i tōna rangatira; e kore anō te tangata i tonoa e nui atu i tōna kaitono. 
Ki te mātau koutou ki ēnei mea, ka koa ki te meatia e koutou. 
“Ehara tāku i te kōrero mō koutou katoa; e mātau ana ahau ki āku i whiriwhiri ai. Otirā, kia rite ai te karaipiture, ‘Ko ia e kai taro tahi nei māua kua hiki ake tōna rekereke ki ahau.’ 
“Nā, ka kōrerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou i te mea kāhore anō i puta noa, mō te puta rawa mai, kia whakapono ai koutou, ko ahau ia. 
He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ki te tango tētahi ki tāku e tono ai, e tango ana ia i ahau; ā, ki te tango tētahi i ahau, e tango ana ki tōku kaitono mai.” 
Ā, nō ka kōrerotia e Īhu ēnei mea, ka pōuri tōna wairua, ka kōrero ia, ka mea, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, mā tētahi o koutou ahau e tuku.” 
Nā, ka titiro ngā ākonga tētahi ki tētahi, ka pōhēhē ko wai rānei tāna i kōrero ai. 
Nā, i te whakawhirinaki ki te uma o Īhu tētahi o āna ākonga, ko tā Īhu hoki i aroha ai. 
Nā, ka tāwhiri atu a Haimona Pita ki a ia, ka mea atu, “Kōrerotia mai ki a mātou, ko wai tāna e kōrero nei.” 
Nā, ka takoto atu ia ki te uma o Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, “E te Ariki, ko wai koia?” 
Ka whakahokia e Īhu, “Ko te tangata e hoatu ai e ahau te maramara taro ki a ia, ina toua iho e ahau.” Ā, nō ka toua iho e ia te maramara taro, ka hoatu ki a Hūrā, tama a Haimona Ikariote. 
Ā muri iho i te maramara taro, ka tomo a Hātana ki roto ki a ia. Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Hohoro te mea i tāu e mea ai.” 
Kāhore ia tētahi o te hunga i taua hapa i mātau mō te aha tēnei i kōrerotia nei e ia ki a ia. 
I mahara ētahi, nō te mea i a Hūrā te pūtea, tērā a Īhu te mea rā ki a ia, “Hokona ngā mea mā tātou mō te hākari; kia hoatu rānei tētahi mea mā ngā rawakore.” 
Nā, ka tangohia e ia te maramara taro, haere tonu atu ki waho. He pō anō hoki. 
Nō tōna rironga atu ki waho, ka mea a Īhu, “Kātahi te Tama a te tangata ka whakakorōriatia, ka whai korōria anō te Atua i a ia. 
Ā, ka whakakorōria te Atua i a ia i roto i a ia ake, inā, ka hohoro tāna whakakorōria i a ia. 
“E ngā tamariki, poto kau nei tāku noho i a koutou, tērā koutou e rapu i ahau, ko tāku hoki i mea ai ki ngā Hūrai, E kore koutou e āhei te haere ake ki te wāhi e haere ai ahau; ko tāku kupu anō tēnā ki a koutou. 
“He ture hou tāku ka hoatu nei ki a koutou, kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi; kia rite ki tōku aroha ki a koutou, waihoki kia aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi. 
Mā konei ka mātau ai te katoa, he ākonga koutou nāku, me ka aroha koutou tētahi ki tētahi.” 
Ka mea a Haimona Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, e haere ana koe ki hea?” Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, “E kore koe e āhei te aru i ahau āianei ki te wāhi e haere atu nei ahau; ā mua ia ka aru koe i ahau.” 
Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, “E te Ariki, he aha ahau tē aru ai i a koe āianei nei anō? Ka tuku ahau i ahau kia mate, he whakaaro nāku ki a koe.” 
Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, “E tuku oti koe i a koe ki te mate, he whakaaro nāu ki ahau? He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koe, e kore e tangi te tīkaokao, kia toru rā anō āu whakakāhoretanga ki ahau.”
