TE PIPIWHARAUROA.
“ Kui ! Kui ! wbitiwbitiora !” Kia ora koutou e nga hoa kia ora koutou e te iwi ! Kia tau te manaakitanga a te Rungarawa kia tatou kouton ! Hnri ake te mihi. Kua pakari baere nei ta tatou manu, na reira i hiki ake ai te ngakau, kite tono atu kia koutou katoa kia kaha ta koutou manat' i i ta tatou taonga; manakitiairunga i te kakama o te ngakau ki te pobiri ina tau atu ia ki o koutou marae ; manakitia i runga i te ata korero, i te ata whakarongo, me te ata wbiriwbiri ano o te ngakau ki te ahua o tana kupu ; manakitia hoki i runga i te ngawari o te ngakau kite homai i etahi hua kareao hei wbakakaba i tona tinana hauwarea. Ki te korero koutou i ana kupu kaua e meinga bei mea whakaahuareVa kau, engari bei wbakaako. bei tohutohu. Whakaarobia te tika, me te be ranei o ana kupu. Mehemea lie tika puritia e to ngakau, kaua e rukea atu kite tahataha bei kainga kino. I whakatakotoria te nuinga o ana korero i runga i te raruraru, i runga i te ngoikoretanga, i runga i te mauiuitanga. Kahore
kau he utu mo ta matou etitataaga, tuhinga ranei i nga korero. Heoi ano to tiao utu kia matou ko te rongo atu kei te mauakitia e koutou o matou mamaetanga. Kei mangere te ngakau ki te korero ; i nui ai tenei iwi te Pakeha na te pukapuka. I matau ai te tangata na te pukapuka. E nga kai-tau-toko, e nga kai-korero, e o matou hoa whakahaere kia kaha te panui i a te “ Pipiwharauroa ” ki te tangata ; kia kaha te whakaatu. Kaua e hunaia to rama ki raro ote puhera. Ka mutu ta koutou korero, hoatu ki o koutou hoa, ki te kore ma koutou ranei e korero ki nga nohoanga tangata. Tonoa o koutou hoa ki a tona kia tukua mai te “ Pipiwharauroa ” kia ratou. E nga kai whakahaere tukua mai nga korero o koutou na takiwa ; nga korero hui, kohi moni, whakaatu mai i te ahua o koutou na whenua, o nga tangata, i o koutou na whakaaro ranei, i nga whakatauki ranei a tana ate Maori, me te tint o era atu korero e tika ana mo ta tatou pepa. Kaua e tatari kia wharona rawa te korero ka tuku mai ai. Tukuna mai nga pito-pito korero. Kaua e roa rawa te korero. I ki tetahi tangata Maori kaore ia e pai ki nga nupepa whakapono, te take he mohio tona ia ki nga karaipiture, kite whakapono. Mehemea he whakapono ton, he aha te whakaneke ai ? He aha te inoi ai ite inoi a nga Akonga a te Karaiti “ E te Ariki, whakanuia to matou whakapono ? ” Nga Pakeha whakapono he nupepa whakapono tonu a ratou. E hoa ma, te wahi e tutuki ai te whakapono ko te rangi. Mehemea he tino nui to tatou whakapono, whakaakona etahi atu ki te whakapono, Ida whiwhi hoa ai tatou ki te rangi, kei haere mokemoke tatou. Ina ta Horomona i waiho iho ai ki muri nei, “ Ta tetahi he rui, heoi e tapiritia mai ana, ta tetahi he kaiponu i te mea tika, a rawa kore noa iho. Te wairua ohaoha ka momona, te tangata e whakamakuku ana ka whakamakukuria ano ia .” (Whakatauki 11, 24, 25). Maranga ete iwi, ka tata te po e kore ai te tangata e ahei te mahi ! Maranga 1 Maranga ! maranga ra ki runga ! “ Kui, kui, whitiwhitiora 1”
