Kite Kai-whakamaori i te ra i muri iho o te whakawakanga o Hutere mo te patunga o Hemi Warihi Te Kopi.
Whakarongo mai e te Pakeha nei ki taku kaha i haere mai ai abau. Ka bua abau i takahi mai ai i te roa o te wbenua, e mate taku uto, e tukua mai e korua ki taku ringa, maku e whakahoki atu ki a korua ko Te Kawana, ko Te Matenga, ki nga kai wbakawa. Kia kite atu koa aku kaiiobi i te noinga mai, i runga i te i ipeka, ka ora toku ngakau, ka boki marama abau, tena ko tenei, kahore i mate, ka boki pouri taku ngakau. He tangata atawbai abau i te Pakeba, inaboki, ka baere ake nga Pakeba ruri whenua, ka kai i ta tutu ka wbakawirhviria, ka haurangi, ka wbakapoaia kite alii, ka takabia kite wai, ka ora ake. E baerea tonutanga ana toku kainga te akau, e te Pakeba, te ata, te awatea, te abiabi te po. He kainga kino toku; kite biabia au kite patu Pakeba, wbakataka atu kite pari, ekore matauria na te tangata, na tana taka noa ano. Ka hua au kite te kau ma rua, e karangatia nei, he tikanga tangata; kabore, ko nga to kata, ko nga kuru kobatu o nga liuarahi. - Nawai ano ratou i kiia be tika ? Heaba te kai e wbara i a ratou ? He kai robi i boborotia e tenei bunga j kati ano i reira to ratou mohio. Kiarongo mai koe, ka liaere pai te Pakeba, e aliatia hoki. Tena ka pa kau ki taku wabine, i patu ra nei i taku tamaiti i taku tema, ki taku pononga ra nei, ko rcira, ka maru ia i au, ekore ia e tohungia. Me be mea, i mate taku utu, poka au, ka poka kite patu e takoto ake nei, ite Pakeba, ka taea ake au, kariro maiia koe. Nei boki ra, ko tenei, kei baere ake koe, ka whare koe
i ahau, aliakoa katipa, ahakoa hoia, ahakoa K.aiwhakawa hei tiki ake ka lie i au.
E mea ana matou, me whakaputa i konei tetahi kupu hei whakahoki 1110 te Tc-Ao-o-te-rangi j otiia, kia ata rongo, ko a matou ka "whakapuakina uei, ehara i to tikanga riri, lie korero wliakahoa fconu he tohutohu i nga he i kitea i roto i ana korero. Kihai ano pea i tino he nga kupu tuatahi o Te-ao-o-te-rangi, ko te mea ia, me he mea, kihai i kitea te ngakau hiainu i nga toto o te tangata nei o Hutere, a, mei maro i roto te kupu tohu, kua orangangakau matou. Muri iho o tenei, ka mea a Te Ao-o-te-rangi e atawliai ana ia ki to E pai ana tenei, e ahahatia tena ua te hoa. E mea ana matou kia mau tonu tenei ngakau atawhai kite tangata haere ake ki tona kaingn—a taaa noatia te rnutuuga. Otira, eki ana ia "me whakataka ite pari te Pakeha ekore e kitea." E ! e wareware ana a
Tc Aooterangi ki A Ia e matau nei ki o tatou " nolioanga iho ki nga whakatikanga" ki a ia, "e matau nei ki nga mahi katoa ?" Kite puta ho kino nui penei, e rite ano tana utu, me mahara tatou kite kupu—"Ho pono, ma tou hara koe e wliakakite." I muri iho o tenei. eke ana aTe Ao-o-te-ran<u * O ki runga kite tiki o tona korero. Puta ana njra © kupu matangercngere kite te kau ma rua. E raea ana ia, ko "te kai o te rohi i hohorotia" e ratou; ae ra, e hohoro ana ano pea a Te Ao-o-te-rangi kite kai ite taro, e meinga ana he aro nui tana ki nga whare peka rohi. Otiia, kaua te kapu hangareka, erangi kia nui te kupu, no te mea, be tikanga nui tenei. E mea ana ia, kahore e tika te whakawa o te te kau ma rua, no te mea, he ware ratou j engari ko te tika kei nga rangatira. Ehe ana tenei kupu, no te mea, e kitea nei ano e tatou, ko te tika mete matamarama o etahi o nga tangata noa iho nei, e nui ake ana i to n<*a © matenga wliai karauna. Ka mea ano aTe Ao-o-te-rangi, kite poka tetahi he nui i roto i tona iwi, a nga wa e takoto ake nei, ekore te tangata hara e tukua mai e ia, ki Dga kai-whakawa. Ka nei he kupu tuturu tenei
nana ? E mea ana matou, he kupu rerc noa tenei, kihai ano i ata whakaaroa e ia i te whakapuakanga ai. E matenui aaa matou ki nga iwi o Waikato, a, e mea ana te whakaaro, ko te tikanga ano tenei o ratou katoa, he tuku mai ki nga kai whakawa i whakaritea e te Kawanatauga,—he tuku tonu mai i nga tangata Maori i roto i a ratou ina takaliia nga ture kna wliakaturia ki tenei whenua.
