Te Karaiti mete Taonga Moni.
Mehemea he nui rawa aku taonga, penei e oti katoa i au aku mea e hiahia ai, e haere au i runga i te Hoiho, e haere a waewae aliau, a e pai rawa lie whare maku, e pai ano au Ida noho i te taone, a e pai ano au Ida noho i te mania o te tua whenua, a e tini he kai mahi maku, a e rere au i te rerewe a e haere tahi matou ko aku huanga e pai ai, e liaere au ki loropi, ki Karaponia, kite tini o te whenua ano hoki, e oti ano i au te tuku he Paipera ki nga iwi kuare, e oti ano i au he whare karakia mo te iwi, a e oti ano i au he whare e noho pai ai nga pani, nga pouwaru, nga rawakore, me nga tino kaumatua o te iwi, a e oti i au nga mahi tika, nga mahi pai; oti ra, ko aua taonga nui oku, me aua moni tini aku, e kore rawa taku wairua e ora i aua mea. E mea ana ahau, ko Te Karaiti anake, taku e tino pai ai, a ko Te Karaiti Ida whiwhi i au, mete moni kore, mete taonga kore, kaua i te moni me te taonga kia whiwhi i au, a ko Te Karaiti kia kore e whiwhi i taku wairua. Ahakoa kahore he nui moni aku, e pai ana, e ora ano ahau, otira ko Te Karaiti kia kore e riro mai i au ko te mate tera moku. He nui noa atu te mahi a Te Karaiti moku, i te kaha o te moni e puta ai he pai moku i te moni. Kite mea ka whiwhi ahau i a Te Karaiti, e ora ana taku wairua, a ko te tino ora tera moku. X E kore te moni mete taonga e ako i au kia inoi pono ahau ki Te Atua, a e kore ano hoki te moni e ako ake i au kia mahi ahau kia ora nga wairua o te iwi kia karakia pono ai ratou ki Te Atua. Kite mea ka whiwhi taku ngakau ia Te Karaiti penei e kaha taku mahi, e kaha taku inoi, kia orate iwi, a e nui ke ake ta Te Karaiti whakakaha i au kite mahi tika e ora ai te iwi i Te Atua i ta te moni katoa o te ao nei e whakakaha ake ai i au: ma Te Karaiti te ako tika i au e tika ai taku mahi kite ao nei. E hara hoki
i te moni mana ahau e kaka ai, a e ako ake ai Ida haere ahau ki te korero i te Rongopai o Te Atua Id te iwi, e tae ai ahau ki nga turoro, ki nga rawa kore e rongo ai ratou i te kupu ora ma ratou iTe Atua. Kite mea ka whiwhi ahau Ida Te Karaiti, penei e tika taku kauhau ia Te Karaiti, a he tino mea nui ake taua mea i te tini taonga, kite mea ka whiwhi ahau ia Te Karaiti, ahakoa rawa kore ahau ite ao nei, he mea pai: ko te kore _ oku e whiwhi i a Te Karaiti i tera ao, ko te tino o te rawa kore kino, e mate atu ai ahau kite tino ote mate. Koia ahau i mea ai, ko Te Karaiti te mea oku e tino manaki ai Ida whiwhi ahau ia Te Karaiti. Ko te taonga, ko te moni te mea e kore ahau e mea kia homai, ki au ko Te Karaiti to mua, mete mutunga.
