KORERO MO TE WEROWEROHANGA MO TE MATE KOROPUTAPUTA.
Ko nga leupu i raro iho nei he mea tango mai i roto i te Karere Maori, i taia i te 31 o nga ra o Maehe, 1856.
Kua tini nga taanga kite “ Karere Maori ” i nga korero mo nga painga e whiwhi ai nga tangata i te Werowerohanga mo te mate Koroputaputa; a ka kotahi pea tau ka ka pahure i te rongonga ai o te tangata Maori kua whakatakotoria e te Kawanatanga he tikanga e ahei ai nga tangata katoa te rongoatia mo tenei mate. Ko tetahi hoki tenei o nga tino mate whakangaro i nga iwi katoa o te ao. He whakamaharahara tenei ki nga Maori, kia hurihurihia marietta tenei tikanga; kia kanaka e akiritia kuwaretia nga kawenga aroha ki a ratou. Kanaka ano hoki e whakawhirinaki ki runga ki nga whakaaro pohehe ; kei mea hoki, “ Ahea rate puta ai, inahoki kua roa ke te rongo o tenei mate.” Ko te Pakeha kua kite i te he o tenei tu korero ; kua matau hoki ia ki nga putanga mai o tenei mate e haere hiina ana. Hei nga wahi
ano e tino moe ana nga maharahara o te tangata ko tona wa pea tena e puta mai ai. Kia mataara tonu ra, e kore hoki e mohiotia te ra o tona putanga mai.
Kei mea koutou e. mamae te tangata i te Werowerohanga; kei whakarongo ki a etahi e ki ana kihai pea i nui ake te mamae o te Koroputaputa i to te rongoatanga. Ki te kore hoki e pupuhi, e whero, e kore e taea te whakawhirinaki ki runga ki tena hei arai mo te mate whakamataku. Ahe kuware anake ano te tangata e mea kia whakaritea te mamae o te Werowerohanga ki to te Koroputapu. Ahakoa ra mamae te kawenga a te rongo, ko te ringa kau i whakapirihia ai ; tena ko te Koroputaputa kapi katoa te tinana o te tangata i te mamae, i te pupuhi. Ngaro katoa te hiri i te mate riaouau. Ite tini o nga paanga o tenei mate, pura ana nga kanohi i te pupuhi o nga kamo : a kite orate turoro kapi katoa ia i te putaputa, a he mea ano ka matapo tonu nga kanohi.
Mo konei ra, e hoa ma, ahakoa kore pea e pa mai tenei mate, e hara ia nei i te mea tika kia rap a nga tangata katoa kite rongoa e ora ei ratou ana puta mai ia ? He mea hoki ra, e ngawari ana te whakapiringa o lenei rongoa.
