TE MOEMOEA.
Ki te Etita o Te Pipiwharauroa. EHOA tena koe tukua atu enei kupu hai titiro iho ma oku boa i nga marae e tae atu ai ta tatou manu, hai whakahawea iho ma ratou koia ka tuhi atu ki raro iho nei.
He hanga ahuareka te moemoea i te kitenga i nga hoa me nga whanaunga kua mate atu ra kai te po. Ite moenga iho e noho tahi ana te ohonga ake kite ata tirotiro noa ana. Ka waiho hai maharahara ma te ngakau ko te mea tenei hei hiki i te ngakau e ki ai te whakaaro taihoa au ka haere kite hui e karanga tia nei ka tu ki Heretaunga, kia kite ai au i oku hoa. E whakaaroaro tonu ana te ngakau mo tena ahua whaia ka tangi mai te pere kua ki ano te whakaaro ka haere au kite karakia, me kore au e tohungia ete Atua. Ka kite au i oku whanaunga no reira ka mea au he taonga whakamiharo te moemoea. To mahi ra ete Atua kite homai i tenei taonga nui kite tangata. Ahakoa eki nei Te Pipiwharauroa he ki takapu te putake o te moemoea maku e ki he mea homai ano e te Atua, inahoki te takitahi o nga tangata tika kite moemoea. Mehemea kite ata whakaaro te tangata ka mohiotia he tino taonga, inahoki he moetake i hokona ai a Hohepa e ona tuakana; otira ko te hunga hoko ano i he. Inahoki kaore ano te mate kai i pa ki Ihipa kua moemoea noa atu a Parao, he tokomaha i whakapono he tokomaha ano i whakateka, otira i whiwhi ano te hunga i whakateka i whiwhi ano te hunga i whakapono kite utu o te whakapono. Anei pea ia te ki a o tatou hoa e korero tonu ana te Atua kia Holiepa he tika ano pea. Otira tenei ano tetahi. Kaore ano a Ngapuhi kia tae mai kite Tai-Rawhiti nei mete pakeha kaore ano kia tae noa mai ki konei, ka moemoeatia e Terangitauatia, ko tana moe tenei. I kite ia tokorua nga tangata e korero ana mai ki a ia, ko te reo o tetahi e mara ana, ko te reo o tetahi e kihi ana, ka oho ake’ia, ka korero mete whakamaori ano i tana moemoea. Ko te whakamaoritanga tenei a Terangitauatia. E kore e toro te paiaka hinahina i runga i a au ka rongo ake au e mara ana e kihi ana. Mate atu a Terangitauatia. E hia tekau tau i muri iho kitea rawatia ake a Ngapuhi tu ana i Waiapu kite patu tangata. Ko Motukokotui tenei, ko Hautupakoko, ko Kokai. Ko nga kupu tenei a Ngapuhi i taua wa, pokuru ka ki tetahi, kaore pokuru, e mara whakarewa to papatu, e mara i aua rirapa katoua koe. E hia tekau tau i muri mai i a Ngapuhi ko te pakeha tenei tu ana i uta nei, anei e kihi nei koutou e ruri nei i te whenua, e kore e hapa ta te moemoea i kite ai. Kati noa aka whakamarama kei hoha te kaita otira kite ngenge koe pangaia atu, kite oti i a koe te tame ki atu au kia pena tonu e hoa e. Kia ora. Na ta koutou mokai, Manihera Waititi. hangaparaoa.
