TE AHUA INOI A TE IWI TINO KUARE.
He nui noa atu nga kupu kino atu a nga iwi Maori o Inia ki a ratou atua Maori mo nga awha kino ana pa kia ratou, a e ahua kanga ana aua iwi Maori ki ta ratou atua kia Kutuka, mo nga maunga tiketike, a mo nga waipuke nui, a ko nga whakahaere a ana iwi ki to ratou atna kia Kepuhekaua, he kiri knri, he kakahu, a mea atu ai ana iwi ki tana atua, tena he taonga man, a kia pai mai hoki he mahi an kia matou. A he nni noa atu hoki te parare o te inoi a nga Maori o Tahiti ki a ratou atua. A ko nga iwi Maori o Hapiria, kite mea e kora nga mea i inoia e ratou e tae mai ki aua iwi, penei ka wahia nga whare, a ka patua nga whakapakoko atua e ratou. I nga wa o nga mea e puta nui ana kite iwi, ara te kai, te ika, te manu, ka koa aua iwi ki o ratou atua, a ka mirimuianga ngntu o aua whakapakoko atua kite hinu ika, hinu manu. A e pera ana ano hoki nga iwi Maori o Haina ki a ratou atua. A e pera ano hoki nga iwi Maori Hingari. A i tetahi tan i mua, i tino kino te iwi i Potukara kia Hata Atoria, no te mea, na nga iwi Pariona i pahua nga taonga o te Taone, koia taua iwi i mea ai na Hata Atoria te he, ara, na to ratou papa atua na Hata Atoria te mangere kite tiaki i te iwi, koia nga whakaahua o Hata Atoria* i wawahia ai e ratou. A e kiia ana, koteiwio nga Iporitana, e mau haereana ia ratou atua ana haere ratou kite hi" ika, a kite mea kahore he ika e mau, ka whiuaaua whakapakoko atua e raton kite wai. A he mea tuhituhi te ahua o a ratou atua ki a ratou potae mau haere ai, a kite mea ka pa te aitua ki aua iwi, penei ka tatatakahia aua ahua e mau i a ratou potae kite paru. A i te wa i tino pa ai te taoraki ki taua iwi, a i kore rawa atu ui he kai, ka mea atu aua iwi ki a ratou atua, kite mea ka mau tonu temate kai, penei e kore rawa aua atua whakapakoko e kiia he atua, engari ka tino wawahia kia kore rawa atu aua atua. He mahi pohehe te mahi a te tangata i aia ki nei he atua rawa ano te rakau i mania nei eia hei whakapakoko, koia rate he rne te mate o te iwi kuare e mahi nei i te atua Maori, heoi na te kuare i he ai te tangata, a i mea hoki etahi iwi o Inia, he atua rawa ano tetahi o nga Mihanare i haere atu kia ako ia ratou, a inoi ana aua iwi ki taua MinifcVtohu no* he atna aia, i.mea, atu hoki taua iwi, kia
• pai mai- taua Miaita kia" ratpu, a mana ma tana Minita e mahi i te mahi atua. kia nui ai he kai ma taua iwi kia nui he ika, a kia he manu, kia rato ai te hiakai a te tini. Ako te whakahere a taua iwi i hoatu ai kia / mana ai taua inoi a ratou he kotahi paipa tupeka. A he iwi ano eki ana, me kai ite paipa, a ma te paoa o te paipa e mana ai te hau tika mo ratou e rere ai i te moana, ara koia ra to ratou karakia awa-moana, ko te paoa ote paipa. Ako te iwi Huroni, e penei ana te korero ota ratou inoi ki to ratou atua ki a Oki," E Oki e noho na koe i tenei whenua, nei he tupeka mau, niau matou e ora ai kei tahuri kite wai, kia ora ai maton i a matou hoa riri, a mau te hau tika e tuku mai, hei kawe ia matou kite kainga tupu. He awa-moana hoki taua hirihiri na taua iwi. A koia nei te kupu karakia o nga iwi o etahi motu o Hawaiki nei, i Taana, ka tae kite ra e poto ai te purapura uhikaho ki nga hua o te maara, a kia tae nga kai mahuarangi kite tuahu, a kia tare ranei ite peka ote rakau tupu, ka whakahua te tohunga i taua karakia " Tena he kai mau e Taane, kainga tau kai, kia atawhai koe kia matou, ite mea kihai koe i whakatikia" Ai Hampa, i nga motu o Hawaiki nei, i te wa e mutu ai te kai ote ahiahi, ka tae te tino kaumatua kite wai, he mea tawiri i te rakau kawakawa nei, a he mea hoatu taua wai hei whakahere ki nga atua whakapakoko, he mea hoki kia ora ai ratou aua tangata i te hoa riri, \ te kohuru, ite mate kai. A i nga motu i Whiti i Hawaiki nei ano, i nga wa e tu ai he runanga korero. Ka kawea ano taua wai kawakawa ki nga atua whakapakoko, a koia nei te kupu karakia o taua whakahere. "E nga atua kia ata, mai, tukua mai te pat te ra kia whiti te kai kia nui, kia pai te hehengi mai o te matangi, kia aio te moana." Te take i taia ai enei korero, he mea kia kite a tatou iwi Maori i te mahi kuare o etahi iwi o te ao nei a kia kore ai he mahi penei a o tatou iwi tangata Maori o envi motu, engari kia tino tahuri tatou kite karakia kia lhowa. E kore te tangata karakia kite atua whakapakoko e tupu kite nui, engari ka pohehe tonu ona whakaaro, a ka potatu onatnpu, kalie rawa atu ona mahi.
