1“E taea rānei a Rewiatana te kukume mai e koe ki te matau?Te pēhi rānei i tōna arero ki te aho?2E whakanohoia rānei e koe he aho ki tōna ihu?E pokaia rānei e koe tōna kauae ki te matau?3E maha rānei āna īnoi ki a koe?E kōrero ngāwari rānei ia ki a koe?4E whakarite kawenata rānei ia ki a koe?E riro ai ia i a koe hei pononga oti tonu mai?5Ka rite rānei ia ki te manu hei mea tākaro māu?E herea rānei ia e koe hei mea mā āu kōtiro?6E waiho rānei ia hei taonga hokohoko mā ngā rōpū tāngata hī ika?E wehewehea atu rānei mā ngā kaihokohoko?7E kapi rānei tōna kiri i o tao?Tōna pane i ngā wero ika?8Kia pā tōu ringa ki a ia;maharatia te whawhai, ā, kei pēnā ā mua.9Nanā, he hori kau te manako ki a ia;e kore rānei tētahi e hinga noa ki te kite kau atu i a ia?10Kāhore he tangata e māia rawa hei whakaoho i a ia;nā, ko wai e tū ki tōku aroaro?11Ko wai te tangata nāna te mea kua takoto wawe ki ahau, e whakautu ai ahau ki a ia?Ahakoa he aha te mea i raro i ngā rangi, puta noa, nāku katoa.12“E kore e hunā e ahau te kōrero mō ōna wāhi, mō tōna kaha,mō te ātaahua hoki o tōna hanganga.13Mā wai e tīhore a waho o tōna kākahu?Ko wai e tae ki tāna paraire rererua?14Mā wai e whakatuwhera ngā tatau o tōna mata?He wehi kei ōna niho ā taka noa.15Ko tāna e whakamanamana ai ko ōna unahi pakari;tūtaki rawa pērā i te hīri piri tonu.16Nā, i te tata tonu o tētahi ki tētahi,e kore te hau e puta i waenga.17Piri tonu rātou ki a rātou anō, mau tonu,e kore anō e taea te wehe.18Ka tihe ia, ka kōwhā mai te mārama;ā, ko te rite i ōna kanohi kei ngā kamo o te ata.19E puta ana mai i tōna māngai he rama mura,mokowhiti ana ngā kora ahi.20Puta ana te paowa i ōna pongaponga,me te mea nō te kōhua e koropupū ana, nō te otaota e kāia ana.21Ngiha ana ngā waro i tōna hā,rere atu ana te mura i tōna māngai.22Kei tōna kakī te kaha e noho ana,e tuapa ana te pāwera i tōna aroaro.23Ko ōna kikokiko tāwerewere piri tonu;mārō tonu ki runga ki a ia, e kore e taea te whakakorikori.24Pakari tonu tōna ngākau ānō he kāmaka;āe rā, mārō tonu ānō ko tō raro kōhatu huri.25Ka whakarewa ia i a ia ki runga ka wehi ngā tāngata nunui;nā te pororaru ka pōrangi noa iho rātou.26Ki te whai tētahi i a ia ki te hoari, e kore e taea;ahakoa e te tao, e te pere, e te koikoi rānei.27Ki tōna whakaaro he kakau wīti te rino,he rākau popopopo te parāhi.28E kore ia e tahuti i te pere;ki a ia ka meinga noatia ngā kōhatu o te kōtaha hei pāpapa.29Kīia ake e ia ngā patu hei pāpapae kataina ana e ia te huhū o te tao.30Ko raro ōna e rite ana ki te kōhatu koikoi;e whārikitia ana e ia a runga o te paru ānō he patunga wīti.31E meinga ana e ia te rire kia koropupū ānō he kōhua,me te moana kia rite ki te hinu.32E hangaia ana e ia he huarahi mārama i muri i a ia;tērā e maharatia he hina te moana.33I te whenua nei kāhore he mea hei rite mōna,he mea i hangā nei kāhore ōna wehi.34E titiro ana ia ki ngā mea tiketike katoa;he kīngi ia mō ngā tama katoa a te whakapehapeha.”
