Ā, i te mea ka iwa tekau mā iwa ngā tau o Āperama, ka puta mai a Ihowā ki a Āperama, ka mea ki a ia, “Ko ahau te Atua Kaha Rawa; hāereere i mua i tōku aroaro, kia tapatahi hoki te whakaaro.

E kore hoki tōu ingoa e huaina ā muri ake nei ko Āperama, engari ko Āperahama te ingoa mōu; ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei matua mō ngā iwi maha.

Ā, ka whakapūmautia e ahau tāku kawenata ki waenganui ōku, o koutou hoki ko ōu uri i muri i a koe, o tērā whakatupuranga, o tērā whakatupuranga o rātou, hei kawenata mau tonu, ā, hei Atua ahau mōu, mō ōu uri hoki i muri i a koe.

“Nā, ko ahau, kei a koe tāku kawenata, ā, ka matua koe mō ngā iwi maha.

Nā, ka mea te Atua, “Ehara, ka whānau tā kōrua tama ko Hara; ā, me hua e koe tōna ingoa ko Īhaka. Ka whakapūmau anō ahau i tāku kawenata ki a ia, ki ōna uri hoki i muri i a ia, hei kawenata mau tonu.

Ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki ōu uri hoki i muri i a koe, te whenua e noho manene nā koe, te whenua katoa o Kanaana, hei kāinga pūmau; ā, hei Atua ahau mō rātou.”

Nā, ka kūpapa te kanohi o Āperahama ki raro, ā, ka kata ia, ka mea hoki i roto i tōna ngākau, “Tērā rānei e whānau he tama mā te tangata kua kotahi rau nei ōna tau? E whānau tamariki rānei a Hara, te wahine kua iwa tekau nei ōna tau?”

Ā, ka mea te Atua ki a Āperahama, “Ko Harai, ko tāu wahine, kaua e huaina tōna ingoa ko Harai, engari ko Hara he ingoa mōna.

Me kokoti e koutou tō koutou kiri matamata; ā, ka waiho tēnā hei tohu mō te kawenata i waenganui ōku, o koutou.

Ka whakapūmautia ia e ahau tāku kawenata ki a Īhaka, ka whānau nei i a kōrua ko Hara ā te tāima e rite ana ki tēnei o te tau e haere ake nei.”

Me kokoti e koutou ngā tamariki ina waru ngā rā, ngā tāne katoa o tēnā whakatupuranga, o tēnā whakatupuranga o koutou, ngā mea i whānau i roto i te whare, i hokona rānei ki te moni i tētahi tangata kē, ehara nei i te uri nōu. Me kokoti tonu te tangata i whānau i roto i tōu whare, i hokona rānei ki tāu moni, ā, ka mau tāku kawenata ki ō koutou kikokiko, hei kawenata mau tonu.
