TSK · Hopa 37:19

Otira kei ahau ano hoki he ngakau, he pera ano me o koutou, kihai ahau i hoki iho i a koutou: ko wai ra te he ana ki enei mea?

Tena ra, whakarongo mai ki taku tautohe, maharatia nga whawhai a oku ngutu.

¶ Ka haere mai ra i hea te whakaaro nui? Kei hea te wahi o te matau?

Nana, ehara noa iho ahau. Ko te aha taku e whakahoki atu ai ki a koe? Ka kopania toku ringa ki toku mangai.

I taku meatanga kia matauria tenei, ka kite ahau he mahi whakauaua rawa;

He mea whakamiharo rawa, kei tawhiti atu hoki i ahau, tenei matauranga: kei runga noa atu, e kore e taea e ahau.

Inaianei hoki he titiro pouriuri ta tatou i roto i te whakaata, ko reira ia he kanohi, he kanohi: inaianei e matau ana ahau ko tetahi wahi anake; ko reira ia ahau mohio ai me ahau i mohiotia ra.
