KO MATINI RUTA.
I whanau tenei tangata rongo nui i te tau 1483, i tona kainga i Hakoni. I whakaputaia tona kaha kite rapu i nga ritenga o nga iwi, me nga mea ote ao: a, miharo ana te tokomaha kite hohoro 6 tana matauranga ki nga mea tini. I tona haerenga kite koraha, me tetahi o pna hoa i tona taha—ka paku te whatitiri, hinga ana raua ko tona hoa ki raro ki te whenua; i tona tirphanga atu, kua mate ke tona hoa, ha te uira i path. Ka wehi tona ngakau i konei, a, ka maliara ia, kia wliakaorangia tona wairua. Pupuru hoa ana ona Matua, kiliai ia i rongo ki ou raua'kupu—otira, naere ana ia ki uta noho ai, ki rbto ki nga whare akoranga o te hunga karakia.

He roa tona nohoanga ki uta, ko te tana hpa i reica, a ka kapi-haere tona ngakau i nga tikapga pono. Muri iho ka whakanuia tana mahi kite ako, kite tutiituhi, a, whakarohgo ana te tokomalia ki ona tikanga, Na! Ite tau 1546. ka haere ia kia kite i tona kainga—Ko Maranatoni (he tangata tino whaicapono)tona' hoa haere; hoki ora ana ia ki Witemupara. I ona kauwhautanga, ki Ihiripene ka pa te mamae ki tona tinana—otira, kahore ona ■wehi. Korero ana ia ki ona hoa noho i a ia, ki nga painga o te rangi mo te hunga tika a, ka mea ia, "Meake au tae atu ki aua pai." I te ata.o Pepuere 18, i te tau 1546, ka nui tona mamae—a, ka inatauia kua tata tona mareretanga—l taua ra pu, ka kite ia ite ataxangi pte mate—ka juqiia ki tona Matua ite rangi—ka whakamanawanui ia ki pna mamae-a ka tukua atu tona wairua, ki tona kai-atawhai, ki a Ihowa, ka whakarerea tenei ap hara, i te ono tekau ma Joru o ona tail ~"' '" ""' ;?
