Nā, i te tekau mā rima o ngā tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hīhā, i a Ponotia Pirato e kāwana ana i Hūria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Karirī, i tōna teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihānia, e tetaraki ana i Apirini; 
ko Anaha rāua ko Kaiapa ngā tohunga nui, ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hoani tama a Hakaraia ki te koraha. 
Nā, ka haere mai ia ki ngā wāhi katoa e pātata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri rīpenetā hei murunga hara. 
I pērā anō ia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o ngā kōrero a Ihāia poropiti: “He reo nō tētahi i te koraha e karanga ana: ‘Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ōna ara! 
Ka whakakīia ngā awaawa katoa, ka whakahoroa ngā maunga me ngā pukepuke katoa. E meinga hoki kia tika ngā wāhi kōpikopiko, ko ngā wāhi taratara hei ara māeneene. 
Ā, e kite ngā kikokiko katoa i te whakaoranga a te Atua!’ ” 
Nā reira, ka mea ia ki ngā mano i haere kia iriiria e ia, “E te uri nākahi, nā wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meāke puta mai? 
Nā, whakaputaina ngā hua e rite ana ki ō te rīpenetā; kei anga kei mea i roto i a koutou, ‘Ko Āperahama tō tātou matua’; ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, e āhei ana anō i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake mā Āperahama i roto i ēnei kōhatu. 
Nā, ināianei anō kei te pā te toki ki te pakiaka o ngā rākau; ki te kāhore tētahi rākau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka makā ki te ahi.” 
Nā, ka ui ngā mano ki a ia, ka mea, “Me aha rā mātou?” 
Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko te tangata i ngā koti e rua, kia hoatu ki te tangata kāhore ōna; me te tangata he kai tāna, kia pērā anō.” 
Nā, ka haere mai hoki ngā pupirikana kia iriiria ka mea ki a ia, “E te kaiwhakaako, me aha mātou?” 
Ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kei nui ake i ngā mea i whakaritea mā koutou tā koutou e tango ai.” 
Ka ui anō hoki ngā hōia ki a ia, ka mea, “Me aha hoki mātou?” Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rātou, “Kaua e tūkinotia tētahi, kaua e muru noa i tētahi mea; kāti anō mā koutou ko ō koutou utu.” 
Nā, i te iwi e tatari ana e whakaaroaro katoa ana i roto i ō rātou ngākau ki a Hoani, mehemea ko te Karaiti ia. 
Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a rātou katoa, “Ko ahau nei, he iriiri tāku i a koutou ki te wai; kei te haere mai ia tētahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o ōna hū. Māna koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te kāpura. 
Ko tāna mea tahi kei tōna ringa, hei tino tahi i tāna patunga wīti, hei kohi hoki i te wīti ki roto ki tāna whare wīti; ko te pāpapa ia e tahuna ki te kāpura e kore e tineia.” 
He maha atu anō āna kupu whakahau i kauwhau ai ia i te rongopai ki te iwi. 
Otirā, nā tōna riringa i a Herora tetaraki mō Herōriaha, mō te wahine a tōna tuakana, a Piripi, ā, mō ngā kino katoa hoki i meinga e Herora; 
ka āpititia atu e Herora tēnei ki runga i ērā katoa, tūtakina ana e ia a Hoani ki te whare herehere. 
Nā, ka poto katoa te iwi te iriiri, i a Īhu kua oti te iriiri, ā, i a ia e īnoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi, 
ā, ka heke iho te Wairua Tapu, ka heke tinana iho, ānō he kūkupa, ki runga ki a ia, ā, ka puta mai he reo nō te rangi, e mea ana, “Ko koe tāku Tama i aroha ai, tāku i āhuareka ai.” 
Nā, ko Īhu, i a ia i tīmata ai ki te whakaako, kei te toru tekau ōna tau, ā, ki tā te tangata kī, he tama ia nā Hōhepa tama a Heri, 
ko ia he tama nā Matata, tama a Rīwai, tama a Mereki, tama a Iana, tama a Hōhepa, 
tama a Matatiaha, tama a Āmoho, tama a Nahumu, tama a Eheri, tama a Nakai,
