Ā, ka maranga ake ngā kanohi o Hākopa, nā, ka titiro atu ia, ā, ko Ēhau e haere mai ana, rātou ko ngā tāngata e whā rau. Nā, ka wehea e ia ngā tamariki ki a Rea, ki a Rahera, ki ngā pononga wāhine hoki tokorua. 
I makā anō e ia ngā pononga wāhine me ā rāua tamariki ki mua, ko Rea rātou ko āna tamariki ki muri mai, ā, ko Rahera rāua ko Hōhepa ki muri rawa. 
Nā, ko ia i haere ki mua i a rātou, ā, e whitu ōna pikonga ki te whenua, ā, whakatata noa ia ki tōna tuakana. 
Nā, ka rere a Ēhau ki te whakatau i a ia, ā, ka awhi i a ia, ka hinga hoki ki runga ki tōna kakī, ka kihi i a ia; nā, ka tangi rāua. 
Nā, ka maranga ōna kanohi, ka kite ia i ngā wāhine, rātou ko ngā tamariki; ā, ka mea, “Ko wai ēnei i a koe nei?” Ā, ka mea ia, “Ko ngā tamariki, ko ngā ohaohatanga a te Atua ki tāu pononga.” 
Nā, ka whakatata ngā pononga wāhine, rāua ko ā rāua tamariki, ā, ka piko iho. 
Nā, ka whakatata hoki a Rea, rātou ko āna tamariki, ā, ka piko iho; ā muri iho ka whakatata a Hōhepa rāua ko Rahera, ā, ka piko iho rāua. 
Ā, ka mea ia, “Hei aha māu tēnei rōpū katoa i tūtaki nei ki ahau?” Anō rā ko ia, “Kia manakohia mai ai ahau e tōku ariki.” 
Ā, ka mea a Ēhau, “He nui kei ahau; waiho anō i a koe tāu, e tōku teina.” 
Anō rā ko Hākopa, “Kaua rā; mehemea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe, nā, me tango e koe te hākari a tōku ringa. Ka kite atu nei hoki ahau i tōu kanohi, me te mea e titiro atu ana ki te kanohi o te Atua, ā, ka pai mai anō koe ki ahau. 
Tangohia rā tāku manaaki i kawea atu nā ki a koe; kua atawhai mai nei hoki te Atua ki ahau, ā, e hua ana āku mea.” Nā, ka tohe ia ki a ia, ā, ka tangohia e ia. 
Nā, ka mea ia, “Hāpainga, tātou ka haere, me haere anō ahau i mua i a koe.” 
Ā, ka mea ia ki a ia, “E mōhio ana tōku ariki he kahakore ngā tamariki, ā, kei ahau hoki ngā kāhui me ngā kau whai kūao. Kia kotahi noa rangi e akiakina ana rātou, nā, ka mate katoa ngā kāhui. 
Ko koe, ko tōku ariki, e haere i mua i tāna pononga; ā, ka rite tāku āta arataki ki te haere a ngā mea i tōku aroaro nei, ki te haere hoki a ngā tamariki, ā, kia tae rā anō ahau ki tōku ariki, ki Heira.” 
Nā, ka mea a Ēhau, “Kāti, me waiho e ahau ki a koe ētahi o ngā tāngata i ahau nei.” Ā, ka mea ia, “Hei aha koa? Kia manakohia mai ahau e tōku ariki.” 
Nā, ka hoki a Ēhau i taua rangi anō, ka haere ki Heira. 
Ā, ka tūria atu e Hākopa ki Hukota, ka hangā e ia tētahi whare mōna, i hangā anō hoki e ia ētahi tīhokahoka mō āna kararehe. Nā reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wāhi ko Hukota. 
Ā, ka tae a Hākopa ki Hareme, ki tētahi pā o Hekeme, ki te whenua o Kanaana, i tōna haerenga mai i Paranārama; ā, ka noho ki te ritenga atu o te pā. 
Nā, ka hokona e ia te wāhi whenua i tū ai tōna tēneti i te ringa o ngā tama a Hāmora, pāpā o Hekeme, ki ngā moni kotahi rau. 
Nā, ka whakatūria e ia tētahi āta ki reira, ā, huaina iho e ia ko Erērohe Īharaira.
