1Ko te poropititanga mō Moapa:He pō kotahi ka ngaro a Ara o Moapa,ā, kore iho!He pō anō hoki, ka ngaro a Kiri o Moapa,ā, kore iho!2Kua riro ia ki runga ki Paiti, ki Ripono,ki ngā wāhi tiketike tangi ai;ka auētia e Moapa a Nepo rāua ko Merepa.He mea moremore katoa ō rātou māhunga,tapahi rawa ngā kumikumi katoa.3Ko ō rātou whītiki i ō rātou ara he kākahu taratara;ka auē rātou katoa i runga i ō rātou whare,i ō rātou waharoa,nui atu te tangi.4Ka hāmama hoki a Hehepona rāua ko Ereare;ka rangona tō rātou reo i Iahata rawa.Nō reira hāmama ana ngā mau patu o Moapa;ka wiri tōna wairua i roto i a ia.5E tangi ana tōku ngākau ki a Moapa;rere ana ōna rangatira ki Toara,ki Ekarata Herihia.He tangi nei hoki tā rātou i te pikitanga ki Rūhiti,i te mea e piki ana i reira;i te ara hoki ki Horonaimika pā tā rātou karanga o te ngaromanga.6Ka takoto kau noa ngā wai o Nimirimi;kua maroke hoki te tarutaru,kua mate te otaota,kāhore he mea e tupu ana.7Nā, ko ā rātou mea maha,me ā rātou mea i te rongoā,ka kawea e rātou ki te awa i ngā wirou.8Kua taiāwhiotia hokingā rohe o Moapa e te karanga;kua tae tōna auē ki Ekeraima,tōna auē ki Peererimi.9Kei te kī hoki ngā wai o Rimono i te toto;tērā atu tāku e whakapā ai ki Rimono –he raiona ki ngā oranga o Moapa,ki ngā mōrehu anō o te whenua.
