TE EMEPARA O TIAPANI.
KUA tae mai nga whakaatu kua mate te Emepara o Tiapani, i mate i te 30 o nga ra o tenei marama. Itewa i puta ai nga whakaatu, kei te taumaha ia, ka haere mai te mahi a te tangata, tona iwi, ki waho o tona whare, kite inoi mona kia whakaorangia i tona mate. Ko te mahi tera a nga tangata katoa o Tiapani, he inoi mona kia whakaorangia. Ko te mea nui tenei ki te Tiapanihi, ko to ratou Emepara. Ko tetahi take tonu hoki tenei i toa ai ratou i te whawhaitanga ki a Ruhia. Ko te, Emepara te mea nui atu i toto i te ngakau o te Tiapanihi, e akona ana raua whakaaro ki nga tamariki. Ki te pataia nga tamariki i nga kura katoa Tiapani a he aha te mea nui e wawatatia ana e ratou, ko ta ratou whakahoki, kia mate ratou mo te Emepara. Ka tu rawa te tamaiti ki runga korero ai i tena korero, no te mea he korero tapu. Ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Tiapani, mai i nga ariki tae atu ki nga tangata tu noa i nga hua.rahi, he atua a Mutuhu Hito, te Emepara. No te tau 1867 ka tu ia hei Emepara, mai i taua wa ki tona matenga nei, kaore ia e kitea nuitia ana e te tangata, he tapu hoki. Kite haere ia i nga huarahi, ka mutu katoa
nga mahi, ka kati nga toa, ka tutakina nga tatau o nga whare, ka kumea ki raro nga paraina. Ko te Emepara o Tiapani te kingi roa atu tona kawai kingi i o nga kingi katoa o te ao inaianei, ko tetahi take tenei i whakaaro ai te Tiapanihi he atua to ratou kingi. Ka 2500 nga tan e kingi ana tona whare i Tiapani inai ano i a Titnu, i te kingi tuatahi tae noa tnai ki aia kaore ano i whati te kawai. Ite wa i a ia e taitamariki ana, he toa a ia mo te takaro kakari. E kiia ana kaore he tangata e kaha ki a ia, engari no tona takanga i runga hoiho ka mutu tona mahi i tana mahi. Ko nga tamariki a te Emepara tokoono ; tokorua nga mea tane, tokowha nga mea wahine. Ko te kingi hou mo Tiapani ka 33 nga tan, k tokotoru ana tama. Ko tona ingoa ko lohi Hito. E ki ana, i te wa i te kingi e taumaha ana ka piki tetahi tangata kite tihi o Maunga Whuiama, he maunga tiketike, he maunga tapu, kite inoi ki nga wairua kia whakaorangia te kingi. Kotahi te wahine i haere ki ro ngahere koiara ano te take.
