TSK · Heremaia 3:4

Ko koe nei hoki, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, taku e tumanako atu nei, taku e whakawhirinaki nei no toku tamarikitanga ake ano.

¶ He aha te mea e ma ai i te taitamariki tona ara? kia rite ki tau kupu tana whakamaharatanga iho.

Kua whakarerea nei e ia te hoa o tona tamahinetanga, kua wareware ki te kawenata o tona Atua.

I a ratou e mea na ki te rakau, Ko koe toku papa; ki te kamaka, I whanau ahau i roto i a koe, hurihia ake e ratou ko te kohamo ki ahau, kahore hoki te aroaro: heoi i te wa e he ai ratou, ka ki mai ratou, Whakatika ki te whakaora i a matou.

Ka haere mai ratou me te tangi, a ka arahina ratou e ahau i runga i te inoi: ka meinga ratou e ahau kia haere i te taha o nga awa wai, ma te ara tika e kore ai o ratou waewae e tutuki i reira; no te mea he papa ahau ki a Iharaira, a ko Eparaima t aku matamua.

Kia pehea te roa o tou kopikopiko, e te tamahine tahurihuri ke? kua hanga hoki e Ihowa he mea hou ki runga ki te whenua, Ka karapoti te wahine i te tane.

¶ Hoki mai, e Iharaira, ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: kua taka hoki koe i tou he.
