Wahanga 40
He whakakitenga i homai ki a Hohepa Mete, tamaiti, raua ko Hirini Rikitana, i homai i Wheieta, Niu Iaka, i a Hanuere, 1831, e whakaatu ana i te take i kore ai a Hemi Kowira i ngawari ki te whakakitenga i hoaitu ai ki a ia.
1. Nana, he pono taku e mea nei ki a korua, i te tika te ngakau o taku pononga, o Hemi Kowira, ki taku aroaro, no te mea i kawenata ia ki a au tera ia e ngohengohe ki taku kupu.
2. A ka manako ia ki te kupu i runga i te koa, heoi i reira tonu iho ka whakamatautauria ia e Hatana; a na tona wehinga ki te tukinotanga me nga raruraru, o te ao, ka whakaparahako ia ki te kupu;
3. No reira ka takahia e ia taku kawenata, a kua waiho kia maku e mea ki a ia kia rite ki taku e pai ai. Amine.
