TE RUNANGA A HATANA.
(He Moemoea.)
I kite a moemoea tetahi tangata i te tunga o te runanga a Hatana, ratou ko ana toa. Te take o tana hui he whakatakoto tibanga e ngaro at te whakapono. I uiuia e ia ana tangata mo nga mahi i oti ia ratou, hei kukume i te wairua o te tangata kite po. Kbia nei te whakahoki a te tuatahi o ana marohirohi ki to ratou ariki. “ E toku ariki i kite ahau i nga kaipuke e hari ana i nga tangata kauwhau i te Rongopai ki a whenua, ki a whenua. Katahi ka whakaputaina e ahau tetahi hau tino nui, a tahuri iho ana kaipuke, ko nga tangata o runga mate katoa. Ka whakahokia mai e Hatana ‘ Ko tan i mahi ai ehara i te mea mohio rawa. Katahi ka koha rawa te haere a te tangata kite kauwhau i te Rongopai inaianei. E kore rawa te mahi a Te Atua e mutu i tena tikanga. I muri iho i tenei ka puaki te mangai o te tuarua, Ko ana kupu enei. E toku ariki he nui nga pukapuka kua tuhituhia e ahau, hei whakatahuri be i nga whakaaro o te tangata i te Atua, i nga mahi pai katoa, i nga mea tapu. Ka mea atu a Hatana kia ia. Nui atu tou mohio i to te tuatahi, otira, ekore te nuinga o te tangata e korero i opukapuka, e kore hoki e whakarongo mai ki o korero. Ko te ono mano tenei o nga tau i tohe ai ahau kite tangata kia mutu ta ratou whakapono tera ano he Atua, he Rangi, he Reinga ranei, a kah ore ano ratou kia whakarongo noa. mai kia ahau.’ 1 No muri rawa ko te tino toa, ko tona ahua he wehi rawa. Ko ana kupu enei, “ Ananal e toku ariki o te ao pouri, whakarongo mai ki ta to pononga i mea ai. I tomokia e ahau nga whare katoa i kauwhautia ai te Rongopai. Ko taku korero
tehei Ii te tangata. “Kahore rawa tetahi kupu he a te kaikahwhau, he tika e aroha ana te Atua kia koutou, i mate a Te Karaiti mo koutou ; e tohe ana te Wainia Tapu kia koutou, he tino nui hoki te rangimarie e puta mai ki o koutou ngakau engari ite mutunga o te karakia, i te whakaminenga e haere ana ki waho, ka kohimuhimu atu ahau ki roto i o ratou taringa, kamea atu “ Taihoa, hei apopo. kaua e tahuri ki a Te : Karaiti inaianei, taria hei apopo.” Nui atu te hari o Hatana i tenei, karanga ana ia, mea ana “Ka tau taku manakitanga kia koe. nui ke atu tou mohio i o enei katoa, hei turaki ite whakaaro mete tikanga aTe Atua, kia ora ai te tangata.” E te hqa, whakaarohia te tikanga o tenei korero, Kua rongo koe i te karanga kia tahuri kia Te Karaiti, kia ripeneta, otira kei te mea pea to ngakau “ Taihoa hei apopo.” E mea ana te Atua “Nana te wa manakohanga mai, nana te ra o te whakaoranga.” Whakarongo inaianei ano, tahuri* kei kore apopo e taea atu e koe.
