“E rapua ana ahau e te hunga kīhai nei i ui ki ahau; e kitea ana ahau e te hunga kīhai nei i kimi i ahau. I mea ahau, ‘Tēnei ahau, tēnei ahau,’ ki te iwi kīhai nei i karangatia tōku ingoa ki a rātou. 
Tuwhera tonu ōku ringa i te rā roa nei ki te iwi tutū e haere nei i te ara kāhore i pai, e whai ana i ō rātou whakaaro ake, 
ki te iwi he whakapātaritari tonu nei tā rātou ki ahau ki tōku aroaro, he patu whakahere i roto i ngā kāri, he tahu whakakakara ki runga ki ngā āta pereki; 
e noho nei i ngā urupā, e moe ana i roto i ngā wāhi ngaro; e kai ana i te kikokiko poaka, ā, he hupa nō ngā mea whakarihariha kei roto i ā rātou oko. 
Ko tā rātou kupu, ‘Tū atu, kaua e whakatata ki ahau; he tapu rawa hoki ahau i a koe!’ He paowa ēnei ki tōku ihu, he ahi e kā ana, ā pau noa te rā. 
Nanā, kua oti te tuhituhi ki tōku aroaro: E kore ahau e whakarongo puku; āe rā, ka utua e ahau, ka utua ki roto ki ō rātou uma, 
arā ō koutou kino, hui atu ki ngā kino o ō koutou mātua,” e ai tā Ihowā. “I tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki ngā maunga, i whakaiti nei i ahau i runga i ngā pukepuke; mō reira ka mātua mēhuatia atu e ahau tā rātou mahi ki tō rātou uma.” 
Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā: “Ka rite ki te wāina hou e kitea ana i roto i te tautau, ā, ka kīia, ‘Kaua e whakakorea, he manaaki hoki kei roto,’ ka pērā anō tāku e mea ai, he whakaaro ki āku pononga, kei kore rātou katoa. 
Ka whakaputaina ake anō e ahau he uri i roto i a Hākopa, i roto hoki i a Hūrā, he tangata mōna nei āku maunga; ka riro anō a reira i āku i whiriwhiri ai, ka noho āku pononga ki reira. 
Ā, hei puninga hipi a Harono, hei tāpapatanga te raorao i Ākoro mō ngā kau a tāku iwi i rapu nei i ahau. 
“Ko koutou ia kua whakarere i a Ihowā, kua wareware ki tōku maunga tapu, kua whakapaia e koutou he tēpu mā Kara, whakakīia ana e koutou he ringihanga ki a Meni; 
ka tukua atu koutou e ahau mā te hoari, ka tuohu koutou katoa, ka tukitukia; nō te mea i karanga ahau, ā, kīhai koutou i whakaō mai. I kōrero ahau, ā, kīhai koutou i whakarongo. Heoi, mahia ana e koutou te kino ki tāku tirohanga, whiriwhiria ana e koutou te mea kīhai i paingia e ahau.” 
Nā, ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: “Nanā, ko āku pononga, ka kai rātou, ko koutou ia ka matekai; nanā, ko āku pononga, ka inu rātou, ko koutou ia ka matewai; nanā, ko āku pononga, ka koa rātou, ko koutou ia ka whakamā. 
Nanā, ko āku pononga, ka waiata rātou he koa nō te ngākau, ko koutou ia ka tangi i te pōuri o te ngākau, ka auē i te marū o te wairua. 
Ā, ka waiho anō e koutou tō koutou ingoa hei kanga mā āku i whiriwhiri ai, ā, ka whakamatea koutou e te Ariki, e Ihowā, ka huaina hoki e ia he ingoa kē ki āna pononga. 
Kia waiho te tangata e manaaki ana i a ia anō i te whenua, māna ia e manaaki i runga i te Atua o te pono; ko te tangata hoki e oati ana i te whenua, ko te Atua o te pono hei oati māna. Nō te mea ka warewaretia ngā raru o mua, ā, nō te mea kei te huna atu i ōku kanohi.” 
“Tēnei hoki ahau kei te hanga ngā rangi hou, i te whenua hou. E kore anō ō mua e maharatia, e kore anō puta ake ki te ngākau. 
Engari kia koa koutou, kia whakamanamana ki tāku e hanga nei ake ake; nō te mea tēnei ahau te hanga nei i Hiruhārama hei whakamanamananga, i tōna iwi anō hei koanga ngākau. 
Ka whakamanamana anō ahau ki Hiruhārama, ka koa ki tāku iwi; e kore anō e rangona i muri te reo e tangi ana, te reo e auē ana i roto i a ia. 
“Kāhore ō reira kōhungahunga he torutoru nei ōna rā ake ake, kāhore he koroheke kīhai i rite ōna rā; nō te mea kotahi rau ngā tau o te taitamariki tōna matenga; ko te tangata hara ia, kotahi rau nei ōna tau, he mea kanga. 
Ka hanga whare anō rātou, nohoia iho; ka whakatōkia he māra wāina, ka kainga anō ngā hua. 
E kore e hangā e rātou hei nohoanga iho mō te tangata kē, e kore e whakatōkia hei kai mā tētahi atu tangata. Nō te mea ka rite ngā rā o tāku iwi ki ngā rā o te rākau, ā, ka roa āku i whiriwhiri ai e āhuareka ana ki te mahi a ō rātou ringa. 
E kore rātou e māuiui noa, e kore e whānau hei mate; nō te mea he uri rātou nō a Ihowā i manaaki ai, rātou tahi anō ko tā rātou whānau. 
Kāhore anō rātou kia karanga noa, kua whakaō atu ahau; i a rātou anō e kōrero ana, ka rongo ahau. 
Ko te wuruhi, ko te reme, ka kai tahi rāua; ko te raiona, ka rite ki te kau, ka kai kakau wīti; ko te nākahi, ko te puehu hei kai māna. E kore rātou e tūkino, e whakamate, puta noa i tōku maunga tapu,”
