TSK · Hopa 12:2

Whakaakona ahau, a ka whakarongo puku ahau; whakaaturia ki ahau te mea i he ai ahau.

Kaua ranei hei whakautua te tini o nga kupu? A e whakatikaia ranei te tangata ngutu hohoro?

Otiia ko te mea whakaarokore nei, ko te tangata kahore rawa ona hinengaro, ae ra, to te tangata rite i tona whanautanga kei te kuao kaihe mohoao.

Kua huna hoki e koe to ratou ngakau kei mohio; na reira e kore koe e whakaneke ake i a ratou.

Kua rongo ahau i te whakahe moku, e pa ai te whakama ki ahau, a na te wairua o toku ngakau mahara te kupu whakahoki ki ahau.

I mea ahau, Ma nga ra te korero, ma nga tau kua maha e whakaatu te whakaaro nui.

Aue te mate mo te hunga he nui nei o ratou whakaaro ki ta ratou titiro, e mahara ana hoki he hunga mohio ratou!

I korero atu ai ahau i tenei kia whakama ai koutou. Koia ranei, kahore rawa e kitea kia kotahi he tangata whakaaro i roto i a koutou, hei whakarite ina whakawa ona teina i a raua?
