TSK · Ehetere 2:23

Ko te tino kaihanga taro ia i whakairihia ake e ia: i peratia me ta Hohepa i whakaatu ai ki a raua.

A ko te kingi o Hai i taronatia e Hohua a ahiahi noa: a, ka to te ra, ka whakahaua e Hohua kia tangohia iho tona tinana i runga i te rakau, kia maka ki te kuwaha o te tomokanga ki te pa, kia whakapurangatia he kohatu ki runga i a ia, he puranga nui e tu nei a taea noatia tenei ra.

Katahi ka ki atu tana wahine, a Herehe, ratou ko ona hoa katoa ki a ia, Me hanga he tarawa, kia rima tekau whatianga te tiketike, a i te ata mau e ki atu ki te kingi kia taronatia a Mororekai ki runga; katahi koe ka haere koa ai, korua ko te kin gi ki te hakari. Na pai tonu taua kupu ki a Hamana, a ka meinga e ia kia hanga taua tarawa.

Heoi taronatia ana a Hamana ki runga ki te tarawa i oti ra i a ia mo Mororekai, a ka mariri iho te riri o te kingi.

Na, ko te hunga i wehi i a Ihowa, kei te korerorero ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa; a ka tahuri a Ihowa, ka whakarongo, na ka tuhituhia he pukapuka whakamahara ki tona aroaro mo te hunga i wehi ki a Ihowa, i whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa.
