I taku wakahenga i te Nuipepa o Hune, ki nga tangata maori e harihari paruma ana, e haerere noa i te Taone, te meatanga mai, me pehea ki te tahi mea ma matou ? i mea ahau, ka korero atu au ki a koutou kite tahi nuipepa te peheatanga e wai taonga ai koutou, mete mau ano ki to te rangatira tu; koia tenei ka korero nei. Na, ki taku, mehemea e mea ana tatou kia wai taonga, mete mau ano ki to te rangatira tu, me tango rawa ano ki ta te pukapuka e mea ana " E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe," a tenei ano te tahi. "Aua e mangere kite mahi, kia toa.te Wairuae rongo kite Ariki" penei e rite ana i a tatou enei mea, ka hua a tatou mea ki runga ki to te rangatira tu: E kite ana koutou, ko te mea i hua ai te taonga ma te pakeha, he mahi; ki ta koutou, e noho mangere ana a Kawana ratou wakarangatira na, e kore hoki ratou e noho mangere; ahakoa kahore ratou i ngaki i te oneone, ka hore i kitea e harihari papa ana, he mahi ano ta ratou i tenei rangi, i tena
rangi, e kore hoki e pena me koutou, kotahi te rangi i mabi ai, karua i noho noa iho ai. Na, kei aua ra i nohp noa iho ai koutou, ka haerere kei nga watitoka o nga pakeha kai mahi, nene ai, nana ai, na te tutua anake ki taku ano tenei mahi, e toru nga mea i kore ai te hua, he mea ma koutou. Na te mangere tetahi,ko tetahi he rukeruke, he whakai tetahi; ko te mangere te tangata nana koutou i wakatiki kite taonga, nana koutou i kohuru. E wakaora ana koutou iaia ? ko ia te kohuru ana i a koutou; e kore koutou e wakaora, he maumauranga moni nga ra i noho noa ai te tangata, me i mahi hoki, kua wiwi ia kite tahi moni mana; ko taua ahua ano hoki, mehemea e mahi ana i tana mahi e hua ake ana he mea mana, penei e tatau ana tatou i nga ra i maumauria i te tau-kotahi, e hia ra nei pauna moni i maumauria? Kahore koki i homai e te Atua, nga ra kia maumauria e tatou, kite noho noa, kite matakitaki; E kore au e mea, kia poto katoa nga ra hei mahi ma te pakeha,
kahore, kei nga po-ngaki ano, ka ngaki, kei te po-wakato, ka wakato i a koutou aha ranei, kei "nga ra i watea ai koutou i te ngaki, he aha te taiepa ai i tetahi kari ma koutou? ka wakapai, ka ngakia, ka wakatokia, kite aha ranei; mehemea, kua rite tenei, he aha te hanga i te tahi ahi kohua mo roto, a wakapaipairia he kari o mua mai o te whare, kia ktfitta rangatim ai koutou, ae-kia haere ake ki to te wakapono tu ano, kei ki koutou, no te wakapono tahi te Mangere—no te rewara ano te Mangare; E kore koutou e titiro ki nga kari o nga pakeha, ki o ratou whare ano hoki, he aha i kore ai te tahi ma koutou pena ? Na te mangere ra hoki, e kore au e mea, me wharepapa, me mea, kahore, e pai ano te whare raupo raia, ko tona ahua, kia pai. (Ki tetahi Nuipepa atu, ka korero ano.)
