"TE TOHUNGA MAORI."
“ PATU NGABONGAKO HE TANGATA, TOI TU HE KAINGA.” Kite Kai-ta o Te Kupu Whakamarama Bhoa tena ra koe e main maina i tena mahi pai, e tuku na ite maramatanga ki nga wahi o Aotearoa raua ko te Waipounamu e noho ana i roto o te pouritanga. Heoi te mihi atu. < He kupu ruarua nei aku e hiahia ana au kia rangona mai e nga tangata Maori o nga wahi katoa etae ana to “ Kupu Whakamarama.” Ma ratau hoki e tirotiro mai te painga, te kinonga ranei, te tikanga, te henga ranei. Aua kupu aku mo nga “ Tohunga Maori,” e mahi nei i waenganui i a tatau. Ahakoa ehara au i te tangata kaumatua rawa, engari kanui taku rongo me taku kite i nga mahi aTe Tohunga Maori. Nga mahi e kite ana au he kino anake. Ka taea eau te whakahua nga ingoa o nga tohunga e rongo ana au, me nga mea kua kite au, otira waiho noa era kia ngaro ana. Ko a ratau hua kino noa e kohura ki runga. 1 He maha nga kaumatua e mau tonu ana ki nga matauranga o nehera, e whakahe ana kinga mahi a nga tohunga. o naianei, e mea ana he hangarau, no reira au ka mea, ko i enei kupu ehara ia au anake engari na nga
tangata katoa e whakahe ana ki nga mahi pohehe a nga tohunga. Otira ko te nuinga o te iwi Maori e whakapono ana kinga mahi a nga tohunga. He mea tenei e turakina ana . e nga Karaipiture, no reira au ka miharo ki te maha rawa o nga tangata o roto o Te Hahi e urn ana ki aua whakahaere. He maha nga kaumatua o te Hahi e mohio ana au e whai ana i nga mahi a nga tohunga. Tena pea mau tetahi kupu kia ratau e urn ai te maramatanga ki roto ki o ratau ngakau, e mahue ai hoki ia ratau aua huarahi tinihanga. Ko au tetahi tangata i whakapono ki nga mahi a nga tohunga i mua i nga ra o tooku ta marikitanga, ia au i roto i te pouritanga. E rima tau ooku kite kainga pakeha e noho ana me taku whakapono tonu ki taua mea. No te ono o nga tau ka uru mai te maramatanga o te Karaiti ki roto ki tooku ngakau, kai reira katahi ano ka puta te pouritanga ki waho, me te whakapono kite tohunga. Ka taea eau te ata wananga atu ki to taua iwi, te kino, te he o tenei mea, e ngari kei whaka apiapi noaiho, no reira ka waiho i waho. Ko tetahi mahi tenei a taua a te Maori e whakaikimoke nei ite tangata. Kia mohio ano ia taua nei ki nga rongoa a te pakeha, ka puta ke ai ki reira raweke ai, apiti atu hoki nga karakia tinihanga. la au e tamariki ana, e ahua iti ana taua tipatipa. Inaianei, kai te tino kaha atu. No reira au ka ki e hoa, kai te tino mataara a Hatana kite pou i tona rahui ki waenganui i a taua i te Maori. Ma te Atua e homai te maramatanga, kia awe enei poropiti teka e iki nei i te tangata me tona wairua kite po. te mutu atu te mahi hianga. Ehoa ehara i te mea he aha ranei i tuhia ai e au enei kupu, engari he aroha, he pouri nooku ki to taua iwi kite Maori e whakapokaikahatia nei. A, kia mohio mai hoki koe, kite pai te Ariki, a enei tau e takoto mai nei, ka ara ia au te pakanga ki enei tohunga, ara ko te upoko tonu tenei o i te taua ka kokiri nei. Heoi ano. Taki-o-te-Rangi. Te Kareti, Te Aute, Heretaunga.
