Ā, i te takanga o te tau, i te wā anō e haere ai ngā kīngi ki te whawhai, nā, ka ungā e Rāwiri a Ioapa rātou ko āna tāngata, ko Īharaira katoa; ā, hunā iho e rātou ngā tama a Āmona, whakapaea ana a Rapa. Ko Rāwiri ia i noho ki Hiruhārama. 
Ā, i te mea ka ahiahi, nā, ka maranga ake a Rāwiri i tōna moenga, ā, hāereere ana i runga i te tuanui o te whare o te kīngi. Nā, ka kitea iho e ia i te tuanui tētahi wahine e kaukau ana; he ātaahua rawa anō te wahine ki te titiro atu. 
Nā, ka tono tāngata te kīngi, ā, ka i ui mō taua wahine. Nā, ko te meatanga, “Ehara ianei tēnei i a Patehēpa tamāhine a Eriama, ko te wahine ia a Uria Hiti.” 
Nā, ka ungā ētahi karere e Rāwiri ki te tiki i a ia; ā, ka haere mai ia ki a ia; ā, takoto tahi ana rāua. (Kua oti hoki tōna poke te pure.) Ā, hoki ana ki tōna whare. 
Nā, ka hapū te wahine, ā, ka tono tangata ki a Rāwiri, ka mea, “Kua hapū ahau.” 
Nā, ka tono tangata a Rāwiri ki a Ioapa, ka mea, “Tēnā a Uria Hiti tonoa mai ki ahau.” Nā, tonoa ana e Ioapa a Uria ki a Rāwiri. 
Ā, i te taenga mai o Uria ki a ia, ka ui a Rāwiri i pēhea a Ioapa, i pēhea, hoki te iwi, ā, i pēhea te whawhai. 
Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Uria, “Haere ki raro, ki tōu whare ki te horoi i ōu waewae.” Nā, ka puta a Uria i te whare o te kīngi; ā, i maua i muri i a ia tētahi kai a te kīngi. 
Otiia moe ana a Uria ki te tatau o te whare o te kīngi i roto i ngā tāngata katoa a tōna ariki, kīhai hoki i haere ki raro, ki tōna whare. 
Ā, ka kōrerotia te kōrero ki a Rāwiri, “Kīhai a Uria i haere ki raro, ki tōna whare.” Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Uria, “He teka ianei kātahi anō koe ka tae mai i te haere? He aha koe tē haere ai ki raro, ki tōu whare?” 
Nā, ka mea a Uria ki a Rāwiri, “Kei roto te āka i te tīhokahoka, me Īharaira, me Hūrā; kei te mata anō o te pārae tōku ariki, a Ioapa rātou ko ngā tāngata a tōku ariki e noho ana. Kia haere koia ahau ki tōku whare ki te kai, ki te inu, ki te takoto ki tāku wahine? E ora ana koe, e ora ana hoki tōu wairua, e kore tēnei mea e meatia e ahau.” 
Nā, ka mea a Rāwiri ki a Uria, “E noho ki konei i tēnei rā anō, ā, āpōpō ahau unga ai i a koe.” Heoi, noho ana a Uria i taua rā, i te aonga ake anō, ki Hiruhārama. 
Nā, ka karangatia ia e Rāwiri, ā, kai ana; ā, meinga ana e ia kia haurangi. Ā, i te ahiahi ka puta ki waho ki te takoto ki tōna takotoranga i roto i ngā tāngata a tōna ariki, kīhai hoki i haere ki raro, ki tōna whare. 
Nā, i te ata ka tuhituhia he pukapuka e Rāwiri ki a Ioapa, ā, tonoa ana kia kawea e Uria. 
I tuhituhi hoki ia ki te pukapuka, i mea “Me hoatu e koutou a Uria ki mua rawa, ki te wāhi e nui rawa ana te whawhai, ka hoki ai i muri i a ia, kia patua ai ia, kia mate ai.” 
Nā, i a Ioapa e whakapae ana i te pā, ka hoatu e ia a Uria ki te wāhi i mōhio ai ia kei reira ngā toa. 
Nā, ko te putanga atu o ngā tāngata o te pā ki te whawhai ki a Ioapa, ka hinga ētahi o te iwi, ētahi o ngā tāngata ake a Rāwiri; i mate anō a Uria Hiti. 
Kātahi a Ioapa ka tono tāngata hei kōrero ki a Rāwiri i ngā mea katoa o te whawhai. 
I ako anō ia i te karere, i mea, “E poto i a koe ngā mea katoa o te whawhai te kōrero ki te kīngi; 
nā, ki te ara te riri o te kīngi, ā, ka mea ia ki a koe, ‘He aha koutou i whakatata rawa ai ki te pā tatau ai? Kāhore ianei koutou i mōhio ka kōpere mai rātou i te taiepa? 
Nā wai a Apīmereke tama a Ierupehete i patu? He teka ianei nā te wahine i makā te wāhi o runga o te kōhatu huri ki runga ki a ia i te taiepa, ā, mate iho ia ki Tepehe? He aha koutou i whakatata atu ai ki te taiepa?’ Nā, mea atu, ‘Kua mate anō tāu pononga, a Uria Hiti.’ ” 
Heoi, haere ana te karere, ā, ka tae, kōrerotia ana e ia ki a Rāwiri ngā mea katoa i ungā ai ia e Ioapa. 
I mea hoki te karere ki a Rāwiri, “I kaha rawa mai aua tāngata ki a mātou, ā, puta mai ana ki a mātou ki te pārae. Nā, whakaekea atu ana e mātou, ā tae noa ki te kūwaha o te kēti. 
Nā, ko te kōperenga mai a ngā kaikōpere i te taiepa ki āu tāngata, mate iho ētahi o ngā tāngata a te kīngi; ko tāu pononga hoki, ko Uria Hiti kua mate.” 
Kātahi ka mea a Rāwiri ki te karere, “Kia pēnei tāu kī atu ki a Ioapa, ‘Kei hē tēnei mea ki tōu whakaaro, he kai noa iho hoki tā te hoari i tētahi, i tētahi; kia kaha tāu whawhai ki te pā, whakangaromia.’ Māu anō ia e whakatenatena.” 
Ā, i te rongonga o te wahine a Uria kua mate tāna tahu a Uria, ka tangihia e ia tāna tahu. 
Ā, ka pahemo te tangihanga, ka tono tāngata a Rāwiri ki te tiki i a ia ki tōna whare, ā, ka waiho hei wahine māna, ā, ka whānau tā rāua tama. Otiia i kino ki tā Ihowā titiro taua mea i mea ai a Rāwiri.
