Nā, ka tūria atu e Hākopa, ka haere ki te whenua o ngā tāngata o te rāwhiti. 
Nā, ka titiro atu ia, ā, ka kite i tētahi poka i te pārae; nā, ko ētahi kāhui hipi e toru e takoto ana i te taha; i whakainumia hoki e rātou ngā kāhui ki te wai o taua poka. He nui hoki te kōhatu i te waha o te poka. 
I huihuia hoki ki reira ngā kāhui katoa; ā, whakatakā atu ana e rātou te kōhatu i te waha o te poka, kia whakainumia ai ngā hipi, nā, ka whakahokia anō e rātou te kōhatu ki te waha o te poka, ki tōna wāhi. 
Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki a rātou, “E ōku tuākana, nō hea koutou?” Ā, ka mea rātou, “Nō Harana mātou.” 
Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “E mōhio ana ianei koutou ki a Rāpana, tama a Nahora?” Ka mea rātou, “E mōhio ana anō mātou.” 
Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “E ora ana rānei ia?” Ka mea rātou, “E ora ana anō. Ko Rahera anō tēnei, ko tāna tamāhine, te haere mai nei me ngā hipi.” 
Nā, ka mea ia, “Nanā, he nui anō te rā, ehara tēnei i te wā hei huihuinga mai mō ngā kararehe. Whakainumia ngā hipi, haere hoki ki te whāngai.” 
Nā, ka mea rātou, “E kore e taea e mātou, kia huihuia mai rā anō ngā kāhui katoa, kia whakatakā hoki e rātou te kōhatu i te waha o te poka; kātahi ka whakainu mātou i ngā hipi.” 
I a ia anō e kōrero ana ki a rātou, ka puta mai a Rahera me ngā hipi a tōna pāpā; ko ia hoki te kaiwhāngai. 
Ā, nō te kitenga o Hākopa i a Rahera tamāhine a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea, me ngā hipi hoki a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea, nā, ka haere a Hākopa, ā, whakatakā atu ana e ia te kōhatu i te waha o te poka, whakainumia ana e ia ngā hipi a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea. 
Nā, ka kihi a Hākopa i a Rahera, ā, nui atu tōna reo ki te tangi. 
Nā, ka whakaaturia e Hākopa ki a Rahera ko ia te irāmutu o tōna pāpā, he tama hoki nā Ripeka, ā, ka rere ia ki te kōrero ki tōna pāpā. 
Nā, i te taenga atu ki a Rāpana o te rongo o Hākopa, tama a tōna tuahine, ka rere ia ki te whakatau i a ia, ka awhi i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia, ā, kawea ana ki tōna whare. Ā, ka kōrerotia e ia ēnei mea katoa ki a Rāpana. 
Nā, ka mea a Rāpana ki a ia, “He pono ko tōku wheua, ko tōku kikokiko koe.” Ā, kotahi te marama i noho ai ia ki a ia. 
Nā, ka mea a Rāpana ki a Hākopa, “Nō te mea ko tāku irāmutu koe, me mahi noa anō koe ki ahau? Kōrero mai ki ahau, me aha he utu mōu?” 
Nā, tokorua ngā tamāhine a Rāpana; ko te ingoa o te tuakana ko Rea, ko te ingoa hoki o te teina ko Rahera. 
He papahewa ngā kanohi o Rea; he mea āhuareka ia a Rahera, he ātaahua hoki ki te titiro atu. 
Nā, i aroha a Hākopa ki a Rahera; ā, ka mea ia, “Kia whitu ngā tau e mahi ai ahau ki a koe mō Rahera, mō tāu tamāhine ō muri.” 
Nā, ka mea a Rāpana, “Engari te hoatu e ahau ki a koe, kei hoatu ki te tangata kē; e noho ki ahau.” 
Nā, e whitu ngā tau i mahi ai a Hākopa mō Rahera; ā, he rangi torutoru noa ake te rite o aua tau ki tōna whakaaro, i tōna aroha ki a ia. 
Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki a Rāpana, “Hōmai tāku wahine, kua rite nei hoki ōku rā, kia haere ahau ki roto, ki a ia.” 
Nā, ka huihuia mai e Rāpana ngā tāngata katoa o taua wāhi, ā, tukua ana e ia he hākari. 
Ā, i te ahiahi ka mau ia ki a Rea ki tāna tamāhine, ā, kawea ana ia ki a ia; ā, ka haere ia ki roto, ki a ia. 
Ā, i hoatu e Rāpana a Tiripa, tāna pononga wahine, hei pononga mā Rea, mā tāna tamāhine. 
Ā, i te ata, nā, ko Rea ia; ā, ka mea ia ki a Rāpana, “He aha tēnei mahi āu ki ahau? Ehara ianei a Rahera i tāku i mahi ai ahau ki a koe? He aha rā koe i tinihanga, ai ki ahau?” 
Nā, ko te meatanga a Rāpana, “Ehara tēnei i te tikanga o tō mātou whenua, kia hoatu te teina ki mua o te tuakana. 
Whakatutukitia te wiki mō tēnei, ā, ka hoatu anō hoki tērā e mātou ki a koe mō te mahi e mahi ai koe ki ahau i ētahi atu tau e whitu.” 
Ā, pērā ana a Hākopa, ā, whakatutukitia ana e ia te wiki mō tēnei; ā, ka hōmai e ia a Rahera, tāna tamāhine, ki a ia hei wahine māna. 
I hōmai anō e Rāpana a Piriha, tāna pononga wahine, ki a Rahera, ki tāna tamāhine, hei pononga māna. 
Nā, ka haere anō hoki ia ki roto, ki a Rahera, ā, nui atu tōna aroha ki a Rahera i tōna ki a Rea; e whitu atu anō ngā tau i mahi ai ia ki a ia. 
Ā, ka kite a Ihowā e kinongia ana a Rea, ka whakatuwheratia e ia tōna kōpū; he pākoko ia a Rahera. 
Nā, ka hapū a Rea, ā, ka whānau he tama, ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Reupena; i mea hoki ia, “Mō Ihowā hoki i titiro mai ki tōku tangihanga; tā te mea hoki ākuanei tāku tahu aroha ai ki ahau.” 
Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, “I rongo hoki a Ihowā e kinongia ana ahau, koia i hōmai ai hoki e ia tēnei ki ahau.” Ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Himiona. 
Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, “Kātahi anō tāku tahu ka piri mai ki ahau, nō te mea hoki ka tokotoru ā māua tama ka whānau”; nā reira i huaina ai e ia tōna ingoa ko Rīwai. 
Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, “Kātahi ahau ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā”; koia i huaina ai e ia tōna ingoa ko Hūrā; ā, ka mutu tāna whānau.
