TSK · Ruka 2:1

Tena, korerotia ki a matou, E pehea ana tou whakaaro? He mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, kahore ranei?

He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga wahi katoa o te ao e kauwhautia ai tenei rongopai, ka korerotia ano ta tenei wahine i mea ai, hei whakamahara ki a ia.

¶ Na i te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hiha, i a Ponotia Pirato e kawana ana i Huria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Kariri, i tona teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihania e tetaraki ana i Apirini,

Me he he toku, kua meinga ranei e ahau tetahi mea e tika ai te mate, e kore ahau e kino kia mate: tena ko tenei he teka nga mea e whakapangia nei e ratou ki ahau, e kore e ahei kia tukua ahau e tetahi ki a ratou. He karanga tenei naku ki a Hiha.

¶ Ko taku mea tuatahi, he whakawhetai ki toku Atua i roto i a Ihu Karaiti mo koutou katoa, no te mea e korerotia ana to koutou whakapono i te ao katoa.
