Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ko ahau te aranga, te ora. Ko ia e whakapono ana ki ahau, ahakoa kua mate, e ora anō; e kore anō e mate ake ake ngā tāngata katoa e ora ana, e whakapono ana ki ahau. E whakapono ana rānei koe ki tēnei?”

Anō rā, ko Īhu ki a ia, “Kīhai koia ahau i mea ki a koe, ki te whakapono koe, e kite koe i te korōria o te Atua?”

Tangi ana a Īhu.

I te rongonga ia o Īhu, ka mea ia, “Ehara tēnei i te mate e mate rawa ai ia, engari, hei mea mō te korōria o te Atua; mā tēnei hoki ka whai korōria ai te Tama a te Atua.”

Ā, nō ka pēnei tāna kī, he nui tōna reo ki te karanga, “E Raharuhi, puta mai!” Nā, ko te putanga mai o te tūpāpaku, he mea here ngā ringa me ngā waewae ki ngā tākai; he mea takai tōna mata ki te tauera. Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, “Wetekia, tukua kia haere.”

Nā, ka ngunguru anō a Īhu i roto i a ia, ka haere ki te urupā. He ana ia, kua oti te pā ki te kōhatu.

Ka kōrerotia ēnei mea e ia, nā, muri iho ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Kei te moe tō tātou hoa a Raharuhi, otiia, ka haere ahau ki te whakaara i a ia i te moe.”
