Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi: Kititi. Nā Āhapa.
1Kia kaha te waiata ki te Atua, ki tō tātou kaha;kia hari te hāmama ki te Atua o Hākopa.2Whakahuatia te hīmene, maua mai ki konei te timipera,te hāpa reka me te hātere.3Whakatangihia te tētere i te kōwhititanga marama,i te kīnga o te mārama, i tō tātou rā hākari.4Ko te tikanga hoki tēnei mā Īharaira,he mea whakarite nā te Atua o Hākopa.5I whakatakotoria tēnei e ia mā Hōhepa hei whakaaturanga,i tōna haerenga puta noa i te whenua o Īhipa.I rongo ai ahau ki reira i tētahi reo, kāhore ahau i mātau:6“I tangohia mai e ahau tōna pokohiwi i te pīkaunga;whakarērea ake e ōna ringa te kete.7I karanga koe ki ahau i te pōuritanga, ā, kua ora koe i ahau;i whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe i te wāhi ngaro o te whatitiri;i whakamātau i a koe ki ngā wai o Meripa. Hera8“Whakarongo, e tāku iwi, ā, ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe;e Īharaira, ki te whakarongo koe ki ahau!9Aua tētahi atua kē i roto i a koe;kaua anō e koropiko ki te atua kē.10Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tōu Atua,i ārahina mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa.Kia nui te kowhera o tōu māngai, ā, māku e whakakī.11“Otiia, kīhai tāku iwi i pai ki te whakarongo ki tōku reo;kīhai anō a Īharaira i aro ki ahau.12Nā, tukua atu ana rātou e ahau ki te mārō o ō rātou ngākau;ā, haere ana rātou i runga i ō rātou whakaaro.13“Auē, te whakarongo tāku iwi ki ahau,te haere a Īharaira i āku ara!14Pēnei e kore e aha kua whati i ahau te tara o ō rātou hoariri;kua tahuri anō tōku ringa ki ō rātou hoariri.15Ko te hunga e kino ana ki a Ihowā kua ngohengohe ki a ia,ko tō rātou tāima ia kua mau tonu.16Kua whāngainga hoki rātou e ia ki te wīti pai rawa,kua whakamākonatia anō koe e ahau ki te honi i roto i te kōhatu.”
