TSK · Hiperu 2:6

¶ He aha te tangata, i whakanuia ai e koe? i anga ai tou ngakau ki a ia?

Kia iti rawa iho to te tangata, he kutukutu nei! to te tama a te tangata, he iro nei!

E Ihowa, he aha te tangata i maharatia ai ia e koe? Te tama ranei a te tangata i whakaaroa ai ia e koe?

Ko nga iwi katoa, he kore noa iho i tona aroaro; iti iho ratou i te kahore, he horihori kau i tona whakaaro.

Kia whakapaingia te Ariki, te Atua o Iharaira; kua titiro mai hoki ia, kua hoko i tana iwi,

Na ka tau te wehi ki a ratou katoa: ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kua puta ake i roto i a tatou he poropiti nui; A, kua titiro mai hoki te Atua ki tana iwi.

Pera hoki me tana i ki ai i tetahi atu wahi, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.
