Nā, i te atatū, i mua noa atu o te awatea, ka ara ia, ka puta ki waho, ka haere ki te wāhi koraha, ki reira īnoi ai.

ka mea, “Kua rite tēnei te wā, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua; rīpenetā, whakaponohia te rongopai.”

Ā, i taua wā anō i a ia e haere ake ana i te wai, ka kite ia i ngā rangi e wāhia ana kia tuwhera, me te Wairua, ānō he kūkupa, e heke iho ana ki a ia. Ā, ka puta mai he reo nō te rangi, e mea ana, “Ko koe tāku Tama i aroha ai, tāku i āhuareka ai.”

Ko ahau nei, he iriiri tāku i a koutou ki te wai; māna ia koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu.”

Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a rāua, “Haere mai i muri i ahau, ā, māku kōrua e mea hei kaihao tāngata.” Ā, mahue tonu ake i a rāua, ngā kupenga, aru ana i a ia.

Ā, mīharo ana rātou ki tāna ako, i rite hoki tāna ako i a rātou ki tā te tangata whai mana, kīhai i rite ki tā ngā karaipi.
