Ma te Atua koe e manaaki, mana hold e mea kia roa atu ou ra e kawana ana i ou iwi i raro i tou maru, i runga i te pono, i te aroha, i te rangimarie. E Whae, tena koe, i roto iou pouritanga o mua iho, a, tae mai ki te matenga o tau potiki o te Tiuka o Erinipara. Tena koe, i roto i ou awangawangatanga mo te raruraru i pa nei ki waenganui i a koe mete Poa. I takare ano te ngakau o tou iwi Maori kite awhina i a koe, otira i runga i tou ngakau tupato kihai i tutuki to matou hiahia. He ahakoa ra, i whakaputaina ano to matou aroha me to matou piri pono ki a koe i runga i etahi huarahi awhina. E Kui, he nui te tumanako mete wawata o te ngakau kia kite a-kanohi i a koe, otira e kore pea tenei e taea. Ite tau 1868 ka tae mai te Tiuka o Erinipara ki enei moutere, a i tumanako matou enei hapu o te Tai Rawhiti 0 tou iwi Maori kia kite i a ia, otira kihai 1 tutuki. Engari era atu hapu ote Tai Hau-
o te Tai Tokerau, o tG Tai Tonga, i whakahonoretia ite kitenga i a ia. A, inaianei ohorere ana te ngakau, rere ana tohi-mauri-ora, kapakapa ana te tau o te manawa, ki nga rongo, e ! tenei kei te haere mai ki enei moutere tau Mokopuna Takitahi, te Tiuka o loka, me tona hoa wahine. Ite mea kei te mohio matou tou iwi, “ He kotuku rerenga tahi, e kore muri e hokia,” na reira e to matou Whaea, he inoi tenei na enei ou iwi ki a koe, he powhiri hold i tau Mokopuna, kia peka mai tona waka taua ki to matou wahapu, kia tu hoki ona waewae ki to matou oneone ki Turanganui-a-Kiwa, kite wahi itu tuatahi ai te tapuae 0 Kapene Kuki kite Ika-roa-a-Maui kia peka mai kia kite ai matou i tou komata i runga i tona tinana. Ko ou kai inoi ko Ngatiporou, ko Ngatikahungunu i Turanga kite Wairoa, he hunga kua kitea te piri pono ki tou mana, timata mai 1 te tau 1840, i te Tiriti o Waitangi, a, mohoa noa nei, a, ake nei, a, te mutunga ra ano c te ao. I maringi o matou toto ite hapainga i tou mana, i te pehinga i nga raruraru i pa ki tenei moutere, a, he mea whakamanamana na matou tau whakawhiwhinga i o matou kaumatua ki nga hoari honore me era atu tohu hoki o tou ngakau whakawhetai. Ko ta matou powhiri tenei ki tau Mokopuna Whakahirahira: — “ Haere mai ra e te manuhiri tuarangi, na te rangimarie koe i tiki kite tahatu o te rangi kukume mai ai hu, kukume mai ai hu, kukume mai ai hu.” “ E te Atua tohungia te Kuini!” [ Na Tuta Nihoniho, na Reweti Kohere, na Tiwana Turi, i whakatakoto nga kupu o te powhiri nei, na ratou hoki i whakahaere te tuhituhinga i nga rarangi ingoa. I tukua atu kite Minita ote Taha Maori, nana i hoatu ki te ringa o te Kawana kia tukua ki a te Kuini. Ko te whakahoki mai tenei a te Kawana : Poneke, Tihema 26, igoo.
