Ki ta matou whakaaro, ki ta te kuare nei, he iwi kua noho ki runga kite maramatanga te iwi e noho mai nei i Turanga. Hua noa matou ekore ratou e whakarongo ki nga ritenga porangi a tenei hunga kohuru, a te Hau Hau; no te mea ka roa ratou e noho ana i roto i te maramatan<>a o te Rongo Pai, ka maha nga tau e akona ana e te Wiremu, Pihopa nei, ki nga tikanga totika. He mahi porangi rawa atu taua mahi, te mahi Hau Hau—me te mea he hanga tamariki in. Tena e kataina e te ao katoa tenei ritenga porewarewa me kore te mate o roto, te kohuru, te aha noaiho. Mehemea ko tona teka anake e pai ana, kei a ia ano ; tera e waiho kia mahi ana i tona mahi whakaahuareka i a ia—kaore he tangata e aha atu. Tena ko tenei, ka eke ki runga kite kohuru ona tikanga, kite muru, kite kai tangata, ki nga ritenga katoa o te takiwa o te pouritanga o mua, ekore tenei e pai kia waibo ; engari ano me \vhiu rawa i aua ngarara whakarihariha, aua kuri kai tangata, koi ngau haere tonu i te tangata. A, tera ano hoki e whiua, koi mahara te Hau Hau he oranga tenei e takoto ake nei—waiho, ma tatou e kite. Me whakarongo nga tangata o Turanga ki ta matou e karanga atu nei, kawa rawa ratou e rere ki runga ki tena mahi whakamomori. Koi mahue te noho pai, te noho ora, i tona kainga, a, rere ki roto kite kino, kite mate tonu iho. Ehara i te whakaaro tangata te whakaaro o te Hau Hau, he whakaaro kuri ia. Otira ekore te kuri e penei; ekore te kuri e tahuri ki tona tangata nana ia i whangai mete Hau Hau e tahuri nei ki nga minita, te hunga nana i ako nga tangata kite pai, kite aroh a; te hunga nana i rongoanga mate o nga tangata, nana i arohaina nuitia nga tangata katoa. Otira ehara i te mea ngaro ; kua kitea enei mahi e te Karaiti, inahoki tona kupu;—"Ka peia atu koutou i nga whare karakia ; ae, tenei ake te taima, ko te tangata katoa e patu i a koutou e mea he mahi pai tana mo te Atua. E meatia enei mea ki a koutou
no te mea kaore ratou i mohio ki a ut£ a ko te Matua. Ko anei mea ia kua korerotia e a hau ki a koutou, mo a te taenia mai o te taima, Ida mahara ai koutou ki aua mea, naku ra i korero atu ki a koutou."
