1. He pono ta te Ariki e mea ai ki a koe e taku pononga e Tepene Panati, haere koe, haere koe ki te ao kauwhautia te Rongo-pai ki nga tangata katoa e rongo ana ki te tangi o to reo;

2. Me he mea ka hiahia koe ki tetahi hoa mou ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, taku pononga a Erene Mete;

3. No reira haere koe ki te kauwhau i taku Rongo-pai, ahakoa ki te nota, ki te tonga ranei, ki te rawhiti, ki te uru ranei; kahore he tikanga, no te mea kahore he pohehe o tou haere;

4. Na, whakapuakina nga mea kua rongo nei koe, a, e whakapono ana me te mohio hoki e pono ana.

5. Nana, koia tenei tana e pai ai, nana koe, na tou Kai-hoko, na Ihu Karaiti i karanga. Amine.
