TSK · Hemi 2:23

I whakapono hoki ia ki a Ihowa, a ka whakairia ki a ia hei tika.

Ko Ataria tama a Natana te rangatira o nga kaitohutohu; ko Tapuru tama a Natana te tohunga, te takahoa o te kingi;

Kia tohe koa ia i to te tangata tika ki te Atua, i to te tama hoki a te tangata ki tona hoa!

Kahore koia koutou i kite i tenei karaipiture; Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga kua meinga hei mo te kokonga:

Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.

E hoa ma, e oku teina, i tika ano kia whakaritea tenei karaipiture, ta te Wairua Tapu i korerotia ra i mua e te mangai o Rawiri mo Hura, mo te kaiarahi i te hunga nana i hopu a Ihu.

He pehea ra te whakairinga? i a ia i te kotinga, i te kotingakore ranei? He teka i a ia i te kotinga, engari i te kotingakore:

E mea nei hoki te karaipiture ki a Parao, Mo konei pu ano koe i whakaarahia ai e ahau, kia ai koe hei whakakite i toku kaha, kia korerotia hoki toku ingoa ki te whenua katoa.

¶ Ka rite hoki ki a Aperahama i whakapono ki te Atua, a whakairia ana ki a ia hei tika.

Heoi kua kopania nga mea katoa e te karaipiture ki raro o te hara, kia homai ai ki te hunga e whakapono ana te mea i whakaaria mai i runga i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti.

Mo reira tera wahi o te karaipiture, Na, ka whakatakotoria e ahau ki Hiona te tino kamaka o te kokonga, he mea whiriwhiri, he mea utu nui, a, ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia e kore e tukua kia whakama.
