Ko te Pukapuka a Moronai

1 Ināianei au, a Moronai, whai muri iho i taku whakaoti i taku whakarāpopototanga i te tuhinga mō te iwi o Iarere, kua whakaaro au kua kore atu anō taku tuhituhi, engari kāore anō au kia mate; ā, kāore au e whakakite atu i ahau anō ki ngā Rāmana kei whakangaro i a au.

2 Nana rā, he nanakia rawa atu ā rātou pakanga i waenganui i a rātou anō; ā, ka whakamate rātou i ngā Nīwhai katoa e kore nei e whakakore i te Karaiti he mea nā tō rātou mauāhara.

3 Ko au, a Moronai, e kore e whakakore i te Karaiti; nā reira, ka ātiutiu atu ahau ki ngā wāhi e āhei ana i a au hei tiaki i tōku ake oranga.

4 Nā reira, kei te tuhituhi atu anō au i ētahi mea anō, e rerekē ana i tāku i whakaaro ai; nā te mea i whakaaro au e kore au e tuhituhi atu anō; engari ka tuhituhi au i ngā mea ruarua anō, me kore pea e whaipainga ki ōku tuākana, ngā Rāmana, hei tōna rā anamata, e rite ana ki tā te Ariki e pai ai.
