TSK · Ruka 1:64

A mau e korero ki a ia, e hoatu nga kupu ki tona waha: a hei tou mangai ahau, hei tona mangai hoki, whakaako ai i a korua ki ta korua e mea ai.

Whakatuwheratia oku ngutu, e te Ariki; a ka puaki i toku mangai te whakamoemiti ki a koe.

¶ A i taua ra ka mea koe, Ka whakamoemiti atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: ahakoa hoki i riri koe ki ahau, kua tahuri atu tou riri, a kei te whakamarie koe i ahau.

Otiia i te wa e korero ai ahau ki a koe ka whakatuwheratia e ahau tou mangai, a ka mea koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko te tangata e rongo ana, mana e whakarongo; ko te tangata e kore e rongo, kaua ia e whakarongo: he wha re whakakeke hoki ratou.

Na, kua pa te ringa o Ihowa ki ahau i te ahiahi i mua ake o te taenga mai o taua oranga nei; meinga ana e ia kia kuihi toku mangai, a tae noa mai ia ki ahau i te ata; na, kua meinga e ia kia kuihi toku mangai, a kore ake toku wahangu.

A, ka oti te rewera te pei, ka whai reo te wahangu; a miharo ana te mano, ka mea, Kahore ano i kitea te penei i roto i a Iharaira.

Nana, ka noho puku koe, kahore hoki e puta te korero i a koe, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e meatia ai enei mea, mou kihai i whakapono ki aku kupu, ka mana nei i te wa e rite ai.
