HE POHIRI.
“ Haere mai ra e te Pipiwharauroa, haere mai me tou take ! Naumai ki tenei marae hou, hei atawhaitanga, hei mau kinotanga ma te tangata. ” E te iwi he pohiri atu tenei i te manu ohooho nei, no te mea ko Turanga he tauranga mona inaianei. Kua tukua mai ta tatou pepa ki Te Raukahikatea nei ta ai. He nui rawa atu to matou koa, me to matou whakawhetai kia Rev. Hapata Wiremu mo tana whakaaetanga mana eta ta tatou pepa ki tana perehi. Ka tino pai rawa atu te taanga inaianei, ka mutu hoki te hehe i te pakeha. Ta matou tumanako inaianei ko ta tatou taonga kia tipu, kia nui haere. Ko te mea hoki e tetere ai, e kaha ai ta tatou manu kite rere haere, ma te kaha tonu ote iwi kite whangai. I tenei tau he mea mahi tuara noa iho ta tatou pepa. Ite aha? Ite nui ote raruraru ki nga etita. Ehara tenei ita matou mahi tuturu, tera ke atu ano a matou mahi; ko tenei he mea whakamomori. Kaua koutou e riri mai i te korenga e rite o te pepa ki ta koutou i hiahia ai; whakaarohia o matou taumahatanga. E tumanako ana ano matou kia maha nga wharangi, kia rua hoki nga putanga i te marama; kia eke katoa nga korero mo te wairua, mo te tinana, mo te hinengaro, tae noa kite whenua. E kore e taea kite kore koutou e hihiko mai kite awhina. Kei pohehe koutou ina homai i a koutou hereni, e homai ana hei painga mo matou, kahore, engari mo koutou ano, ara hei utu i ta koutou pepa. Kore rawa tetahi pene kotahi e puta mai ana ki nga etita, heoi ano kia matou ko te mauiui, ko te hoha, ko te taunutia e te tangata. Otira e te iwi e kaha ana ta koutou manaaki i a Te Pipi. Kua whakamotuhaketia e matou he tangata hei ta i tatou pepa, a kua whakaritea he oranga mona. Na tenei kia mohio mai koutou e utu ana matou mona, mo te perehi, mo nga pepa, mo nga pane kuini. Kei pohehe koutou i te mea kua tae mai nei kite pua Kahikatea e nui ana te kakano, kahore,
ko te mwkahikatea anake ehara i te Awakahikatea. Kia matau. I roa ai te putanga o tenei nama na te hikitanga mai i Whakatu ki konei. Hei muri atu i tenei ka rite tonu te puta. Kaati nga kupu. Tena koutou ete iwi. Whakaarohia te wairua, te tinana, te hinengaro, mete whenua.
