TSK · Hone 8:29

He mea karanga koe naku, na Ihowa, i runga i te tika, maku ano tou ringa e pupuri, maku koe e tiaki, ka hoatu ano koe e ahau hei kawenata ki te iwi, hei marama mo nga tauiwi;

Ko ahau ia i mea, Maumau mauiui noa ahau, he kore noa iho, he tekateka noa i whakapaua ai e ahau toku kaha; raia, kei a Ihowa he whakawa moku, kei toku Atua hoki he wahi maku.

Na ko tetahi reo no te rangi e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.

Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko taku kai tenei, ko te mea i ta toku kaitono e pai ai, kia whakaotia hoki tana mahi.

I heke iho hoki ahau i te rangi, ehara i te mea hei mahi i taku i pai ai, engari i ta toku kaitono mai i pai ai.

E kore ianei koe e whakapono, ko ahau kei roto i te Matua, ko te Matua kei roto i ahau? ko nga kupu e korero nei ahau ki a koutou, ehara i te korero naku ake; engari na te Matua e noho ana i roto i ahau, ko ia te mea ana i nga mahi.

Ki te pupuri koutou i aku ture, ka u koutou ki toku aroha: me ahau hoki kua pupuri nei i nga ture a toku Matua, ka u nei ki tona aroha.

Kua whakakororiatia koe e ahau i runga i te whenua: ka oti i ahau te mahi i homai e koe kia mahia e ahau.

Kia noho te Ariki ki tou wairua, Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.

Ahakoa he Tama ia, i whakaakona ia ki te ngohengohe e ona mamae:

Na reira i a ia e haere mai ana ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kihai i matenuitia e koe te patunga tapu me te whakahere, kua rite mai i a koe he tinana moku.
