KIA ora koe e te Etita, me to mokai e tioro haere nei i nga marae o te motu, e whakahari nei i te tinana mete wairua. E ban ana te ngakau ki nga kupu katoa e whakaaturia nei e Te Pipiwharauroa, hei titiro ma te kanohi, hei whakaaro ma te ngakau, hei mea e tahuri mai ai te tangata i nga huarahi he, e mahi ai i nga mahi e ora ai te tinana me te wairua. Heoi, ete iwi, awhinatia, tautokona to taonga, i waiho ai e o koutou matua e o koutou tipuna kua ngaro atu ra kite po hei ohaki ma ratou : “I muri nei e te iwi, e te whanau, kia man kite whakapono hei matua mo koutou.” I aroha koutou, i tangi, ki taua kupu e korerotia mai ana e ratou. Ngaro atu ratou, e hia ake nga ra kua ngaro taua kupu kua ware ware i te ngakau. Koia 'tenet e te iwi e korerotia mai nei ki a tatou, e kiia nei tona ingoa ko te Kupu Whakamarama whakamarama mai i te ora i te mate rpo te wairua, i te mate i te ora mo te tinana, i te maunga o te whakapono ite mahuetanga ranei.

E pa ma e, e hine ma e, kia huri mai te taringa kite whakarongo kite tangi a te Matuhi e tangi nei, Tuia, tuia, tui tuia.” Heoi ete iwi, tuia mai tatou kia kotahi te aho, ara ko te whakapono ki ate Karaiti. Eki ana hold a Paora, “ Ko koutou ko te hunga i tawhiti i mua kua meinga e nga toto o te Karaiti kia tata.” Kotahi ano te aho nana tatou i whakakotahi, ara ko nga toto anake o te Karaiti. Koia e tangihia nei e te Matuhi, “ Tuia, tuia, tui tuia.” Heoi ete iwi, tahuri tatou ki ate Karaiti, kia paiherea tatou hei paihere kotahi i roto i te ringa o te Atua.
