He Tohutohu
1 Heoi, e ōku tēina aroha, e hiahiatia atu nei, e tōku haringa, e tōku karauna, tēnā rā, e tū i runga i te Ariki, e ōku hoa aroha.
2 He kupu tēnei nāku ki a Ūoria, he kupu anō tēnei ki a Hinatiki, kia kotahi tō rāua whakaaro i roto i te Ariki. 3 Nā, he tohe tēnei nāku ki a koe, e tōku hoa pono ki te mahi, ko koe hei whakamāmā i aua wāhine, he hunga rāua i uru tahi me ahau ki te tohe ki ngā mea o te rongopai, me Keremeneta anō, me ērā atu hoki o ōku hoa mahi, kei roto nei i te pukapuka o te ora ō rātou ingoa.
4 Kia hari tonu i roto i te Ariki; ko tāku kupu anō tēnei, Kia hari! 5 Kia mōhiotia tō koutou ngākau ngāwari e ngā tāngata katoa. Kua tata te Ariki. 6 Kaua e mānukanuka ki tētahi mea; engari i ngā mea katoa whakaaturia ki te Atua ngā mea e matea ai e koutou, i runga i te karakia, i te īnoi, me te whakawhetai hoki. 7 Ā, mā te mārie o te Atua, e kore nei e taea te whakaaro, e tiaki ō koutou ngākau, ō koutou hinengaro, i roto i a Karaiti Īhu.
8 Heoi, e ōku tēina, ko ngā mea e pono ana, ko ngā mea e whai hōnore ana, ko ngā mea e tika ana, ko ngā mea e kinokore ana, ko ngā mea e ātaahua ana, ko ngā mea e kōrerotia paitia ana; ki te mea he pai, ki te mea he whakamoemiti; whakaaroa ēnei mea. 9 Ko ngā mea i whakaakona ki a koutou, i riro i a koutou, i rongo ai, i kite ai rānei ki ahau, mahia ēnei; ā, ka noho te Atua o te rangimārie ki a koutou.
He Mihi Whakawhetai mō te Koha
10 Nui atu ia tōku hari i roto i te Ariki mō tō koutou whakaaro ki ahau kātahi nei ka pihi ake anō; he mea anō ia i whakaaroa e koutou i mua, otiia, kīhai i whai meatanga. 11 Ehara tāku e kōrero nei i te mea mō te rawakore; kua ako hoki ahau, ahakoa kei hea ahau e noho ana, kia tatū tōku ngākau i reira. 12 Ko te whakahoki i ahau ki raro, mātau tonu i ahau; ko te whai rawa, mātau tonu i ahau; i ngā wāhi katoa, i ngā mea katoa, ka oti ahau te whakaako, kia mākona, ā, kia mate i te kai, kia whai rawa, ā, kia rawakore rānei. 13 Ka taea e ahau ngā mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti e whakakaha nei i ahau.
14 He ahakoa rā, he pai tā koutou mahi, i a koutou i uru nei ki tōku mate. 15 Nā, e mātau ana anō rā koutou e ngā Piripai, i te tīmatanga o te rongopai, i ahau i haere atu ai i Makeronia, kāhore he hāhi i uru ki tāku tikanga; arā mō tētahi mea kia tukua atu, kia hōmai rānei, ko koutou anake. 16 I Teharonika anō hoki kotahi, e rua, ā, koutou hōmaitanga i ngā mea i matea e ahau, kia kawea ake māku. 17 Ehara i te mea e whai ana ahau i tētahi mea kia hōmai; engari e whai ana ahau kia maha ake ngā hua hei mea mā koutou. 18 Otiia, kei te whiwhi ahau i ngā mea katoa, hira noa ake hoki āku; kua kī ahau, kua tae mai nei i a Epaporitu ngā mea i ahu mai i a koutou, he kakara reka, he patunga tapu e manakohia ana, ko tā te Atua e āhuareka mai ai. 19 Ā, mā tōku Atua e mea kia hua ngā mea katoa e matea ana e koutou, kia rite ki te nui o tōna korōria, i roto i a Karaiti Īhu.
20 Nā, waiho i te Atua, arā i tō tātou Matua, te korōria ake ake. Āmine.
Poroporoaki
21 Oha atu ki te hunga tapu katoa i roto i a Karaiti Īhu. He oha atu tēnei ki a koutou nā ngā tēina i ahau nei. 22 He oha atu tēnei ki a koutou nā te hunga tapu katoa, tēnei rawa ia tā te hunga o te whare o Hīhā.
23 Kia tau te aroha noa o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Āmine.
