I WAENGANUI O TE AHI.
Tera tetahi tangata whakapono no to tatou Hahi, he Maori no Inia. Ko te haerenga mai o tetahi Pakeha whakapono kore, kite whakatoi i taua Inia, mo tana tahuritanga kite whakapono ki ate Karaiti. " Kaore he painga e puta atu ki a koe i runga ito tahuritanga kite whakapono. Tena, he aha te painga kua homai ete Karaiti mou ?" Ko te patai tenei a taua tangata whakapono kore. Katahi ka whakahokia atu e te Inia, " Nana ahau i ora ai." Ko te kiianga atu a te Pakeha, " Tena whakamaramatia te tikanga 0 to kupu." Katahi te Inia ka ki atu. " E pai ana. Whai mai i muri i ahau kia whakamaramatia ai e ahau te tikanga 0 taku kupu." Ka whakatika raua, ka arahina e te Inia tana hoa ki waho ote whare. Te taenga atu kite marae, ka kohikohia mai he rau r aknu maroke, ka whakatakoto kia rite ai kite ahua o tetahi ringi nui. Katahi ka kimitea e taua Inia he toke. Ka kitea, ka tukua eia te toke ki waenganui ote ringi rau rakau. Katahi ka takirihia eia he maati, ka hoatu ki roto ki nga rau maroke nei. Ko te muranga 0 taua ringi, a taiawhio noa. Kua kore he wahi hei putanga atu mo te kore ra. Kua kaha te mura o nga rau maroke ra kua kaha hoki te whakawiri, te takaokeoke 0 te toke ra. No te roanga o te Pakeha whakapono-kore nei e mataki. taki ana, (mete kore hoki ona e mohio kite tikanga 0 te'mahi a te Inia), katahi ka totoro atu te ringa 0 te Inia kite toke ra, i roto iteau ote ahi, ka hapainga mai e ia, ka kawea ki tetahi wahi pai, ka hoatu ki roto ki nga otaota haere atu ai. Katahi te Inia nei ka tahuri ki tana hoa pakeha, ka ki atu ki a ia, " N-a kei te rite ki teua, ta te Karaiti i mahi ai moku. I roto uhau i nga muramura ahi 0 te reinga, kore rawa he huarahi i kitea hei putanga atu moku i roto i taua muramura. I tau te riri ote Atua ki runga ki ahau. Ko te mate anake i muo i ahan. Na te Karaiti i tango ki runga ki a ia te utu i rite ai moku. I mate ia mo oku hara. I rite ahau ki tetahi mounga i unuhia mai i roto i te Ahi. (Hakaraia 3, 2). Ahakoa i rite ahau ki tetahi toki, inaianei kua whakatungia ahau eia kite turanga hou. "Ko ia ano te aroha ote Atua kite ao, homai ana eia tana Tama kotahi, kia kahore ai e mate te tangara e whafca pono aro ki aia engari kia whiwhi ai kite oranga tonutanga?' (Hoani 3, 16).
