Motueka 27 March 1847 Tamihana Ngapiko's statement when he was close to death. He spoke to me about the lands that the Pakeha wish to buy. Tamihana said on the day on which his eyes closed [in death] that I, Te Herewini Ngapiko, should give to McLean the two hundred acres. The Pakeha had said to Tamihana that [he?] should receive two hundred. Tamihana said he would not agree to that. [But] if the Governor had given the two hundred, he would have taken it for his well-being.
Motueka 27 Maehe 1847 E korero na Tamihana Ngapiko i te mea kahore ano ia i mate noa, ka korero ia ki au mo nga whenua e hiahiatia ana e nga Pakeha kia hokoa. I mea te kupu o Tamihana i te rangi i moe ai ona kanohi, maku ma Te Herewini Ngapiko e hoatu ki a Te Makarini nga eka e rua rau. Ko nga Pakeha i mea mai ki a Tamihana kia tangohia e rua rau. Ka mea a Tamihana e kore ia e pai ki te tango. Mehemea na te Kawana te homaitanga i te rua rau, kua tango ia i tana oranga.
