Nga Piritene o Namata.
Nama 2.
Uta ai a ratou hanga kite kaata, te kai to, he okiha. No te taenga atu ki tatahi, ka utaina atu ki o ratou waka, he mea raranga kite rakau me he aka, karapitia iho a waho kite hiako kireke. Kauterea ana e ratou nga waka kite moutere o Waiti ; whiti mai ai nga rangatira hokohoko o Kaura ki taua motu. Ehara i te moni tatetahi ta tetahi, engari he taonga, he taonga ta raua rurua. I tohunga taua iwi o Piritene kite raranga rakau ahua kareao, hei poti, hei hariata, hei pukupuku, hei rawhi; maka iho ki waho, ko te hiako kararehe. Ko nga hariata, i meatia kite wira rakau, a whakamaua iho te kota ahua hoari, ki nga wira; tena e rere ki nga taua whawhai, ehara i hanga, te tupapaku kite moenga. I nga tau 1,900 ka pahemo ake nei, he ngaherehere te nui o taua motu. Tua ai te rakau kia watea ai he turanga whare, taone hoki. Porotaka tonu nga whare, he kaho, whakapiri ai he uku. Keokeo tonu te tahuhu 6 te whare; ko te toetoe o te tuanui, he wi, he aha. He taone tera ki ta ratou na ki, te motu whare pera. I waho ake o taua taone he maioro ; waho atu he taiepa rakau, waho atu he maioro ano, kei huaki te taua haere mai, kei reia nga kau, kei mate nga tangata. Ko nga taonga o nga whare, he poro rakau, he turu, he kumete rakau, he rawhi kohi kai, he oko i mahia i te uku. Moe ai ratou kite whenua, he rarauhe, he rau rakau te whariki, runga ake he hiako kararehe. Ko a ratou kopere, me nga matia, me nga pukupuku, me
era atu hanga mo te pakauga, i whakanoia kite tuanui o te wnare. (Kei muri te roanga.)
