Hoani Wiremu Hīpango

Nā Hōhepa Taepa

"Haere ake nei au, tiakina aku taonga"

Ko tēnei tupuna, ko Hīpango, (nō muri kē nei hoki te rironga i a ia o ngā ingoa Hoani Wiremu) he tupuna ia nō te Tai Hauāuru, nō ngā momo rangatira o te hapū o Ngāti Tūmangō. He hapū tēnei nō Te Āti Hau iwi. Ko te ariki rangatira o te iwi nei, o Te Āti Hau, ko Hōri Kīngi te Ānaua, ā, ahakoa ko ia kē te ariki o Te Āti Hau, taka kē ana ki a Hīpango te ranga me te taki i te iwi, i roto i ngā āhuatanga katoa i pā ki te iwi huri noa o Whanganui, mai i te tai whakarunga o te awa, puta atu i te riu pāwhara ki Whanganui, ki te tai whakararo. Ko tana mana i mana ai tana reo, he noho tūturu, he pākaha, he mahinga kai, he toitū whenua.

Ko Hīpango ia, o tērā whakatupuranga, i hopu tuatahi, i mau kaha, ā, i kawe pono, i te Rongopai i heria mai nei e Te Mātenga, i te tau 1814, arā, i waimarie ki te taonga a te wā, ki ēnei moutere o te Moana Nui ā Kiwa. Ko wai kē hoki i hua, ko wai i tohu, puta kau ana tā te wā tāna koha, ki a Te Āti Hau, ko ngā mihingare ērā ka puta, ka tatū mai ki Pūtiki-wharanui, e tū mai rā i te tahataha ki te rāwhiti o te awa o Whanganui, e tū hāngai atu ana ki te tāone.

Te whakatūranga atu a Hēnare Wiremu Karu-Whā i a Te Harawira ki Ōtaki, hei minita mō Ngāti Raukawa, Te Āti Awa ki Waikanae, Ngāti Toa mai i Whitireia ki te tonga nei, piki atu ki Mīria te Kakara i runga atu o Kākāriki, te paepae o Rangitīkei, ka tāwharau ngā iwi nei. Mutu iho te whakatō a te Karu-Whā, huri tonu mai te aroaro ki Whanganui, ā, i reira ka kite ia, kua tae noa mai te Rongopai ki te awa nei, ki a Whanganui. Ko te kaiamo mai i te taonga nei, ko Wiremu Te Tauri, o te kāwai rangatira o Ngāti Tūwharetoa. He katakihi a Te Tauri, i ākona e ngā mihingare i Taupō ki te kōrero pukapuka, ki te tuhituhi anō hoki.

Ka taka ki tētahi wā, pēhea rā, i mua noa atu i te taenga mai o ngā mihingare, tūpono tonu ko Hīpango tērā me tētahi whārangi Katikihama i taka mai ki roto ki ōna ringaringa. I tana kūare ki te kōrero tuhituhi heoi, noho ana ia me tana taonga. Nā te wā anō, ka puta mai ko Te Teira ki Pūtiki-wharanui hei minita mō Te Āti Hau. Haere tonu atu a Hīpango ki te whakaatu i te taonga i taka mai ki a ia, kia whakamāramatia mai ngā tohu e mau ake ana i runga pukapuka. I reira ka ākona a Hīpango ki te kōrero pukapuka, ki te tuhituhi hoki. Nāwai ā, ka mau i a ia te kōrero pukapuka, ā, ko tana huringa ake ki te kōrero i ngā tuhituhi o te whārangi i tūpono taka mai ki a ia. Kātahi anō ia ka mōhio ake he Katikihama tāna, koinei ka kimi ia i tana minita hei whakamārama i te tino tikanga o te Katikihama, ko tana mātautanga ake he wāhanga noa iho tēnei, ā, ko te wāhanga tonu o te Kotahi Tekau Ture a te Atua ki a Mohi me te iwi o Iharaira.

Hou rawa aua Ture ki te hinengaro o Hīpango, kāhore i ārikarika i te mahi a Te Teka ki te ako i te rangatira nei. Whakarērea ake e ia ana atua Māori, whai kē ana i te Rongopai Tapu a Ihu Karaiti, ū pū tonu tana whakarite i te Ture tuawhā, "Kia mahara ki te rā Hāpati, kia whakatapua." Ā, puta ana tana whakaaro, me tana kī: "Mehemea nā te Atua Nui ēnei Ture, me whakarangona ka tika!" Ko te huringa tēnei o Hīpango hei karaitiana, koinei i iriiria ai ia, ā, riro mai ana ōna īngoa karaitiana, Hoani Wiremu, i mōhiotia ai ia ko Hoani Wiremu Hīpango.

Nā te iwi o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, ka whānau mai tētahi pepeha, e rangona tonutia ana i runga i ngā marae o Te Āti Hau. Koia rā tēnei: "E tangi e pere, mā Te Teira koe e whakatau."

Ko Te Teira, he Pākehā. I āta tukuna mai ia e Te Wiremu Karu-Whā o Paihia ki te Tai Tokerau, hei minita mō Te Āti Hau. Ko Te Teira anō te minita Pākehā tuarua mō te iwi nei; i toromi kē hoki tō rātou minita tuatahi, ā Te Meihana, i roto waipuke. Ko te haerenga mai o Te Teira hei rīwhi, ki Whanganui. Nāna te tino whakakaupapatanga mō te Mīhana ki Pūtiki-wharanui, mō tērā takiwā o te Tai Hauāuru, ki runga, ki raro, ki mauī hoki, ki katau.

I tētahi Rātapu, kikī tonu tō rātou whare karakia i te tangata. I a Te Teira e inoi ana, ka puta mai ki te whare karakia te kaimataara i oma ake i te awa, ka kōmuhu atu ki te taringa o te tangata i te tatau tonu, "Ē, kei te rere te kahawai!" Nā tēnei ki tērā i roto atu o te whare, ā, nāna ki tētahi atu. Kāhore i roa, mōhio katoa te minenga, ko te kahawai tērā e rere ana. Ka puta atu te tuatahi ki te whai i te kahawai e rere rā. Ka tahi, ka rua, ka toru, ka whā, te otinga o te inoi a te minita, titiro rawa ake, kua riro kē te nuinga o te minenga. Ka pōuri te minita, ā, ka kauwhau i tētahi kauwhau mārō tonu. Ka kī ia mō tana iwi, ki te wareware i a rātou tā rātou ki te Atua, ka whakangaroa rātou pērā me te hunga i whakangaroa rā e te Waipuke. Mutu kau te kauwhau, ko te tūnga ake o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, ka kaute haere i te hunga i mahue i roto i tō rātou whare karakia.Tokoiwa rawa i ū tonu. Ko te kīnga atu, "E koro, e Te Teira, kaua rā e pōuri, inā, tokoiwa rawa tātou kei roto i tō tātou whare; he nui kē atu tēnei i ērā i roto o te Āka o Noa; tokowaru anake rātou." Koinei te whānautanga mai o te pepeha nei, nā te hunga i whai i te kahawai, inā rongo i te pere a tō rātou minita e tangi ana, "E tangi e pere, mā Te Teira koe e whakatau."

Tērā tētahi rangatira nō Whanganui, i hoki mai i te Upoko o te Ika, ko Te Mamaku te ingoa. Nā te aha rā, ko Te Mamaku me Rangihaeata e nana āna, e kakari ana ki te iwi Pākehā i Heretaunga ki te Whanganui-ā-Tara. Ka tae mai te wā, kite rawatia ake, kua hoki mai te rangatira nei ki te wā kāinga. Tau kau mai, ko ia ka puta ki te patu i ngā Pākehā o te tāone hou o Whanganui. Tae rawa atu ia me tana ope tauā, ana, ko te iwi o Pūtiki-wharanui me Ngāti Ruakā e tatari atu anā. I te rongonga o ngā Pākehā kei te haere iho a Te Mamaku ki te whakangaro i a rātou, tere tonu rātou ki te inoi atu ki ngā Māori o Pūtiki-wharanui kia āwhinatia rātou. Āmine tonu mai te iwi o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. I te harakoa o ngā Pākehā, whakatakotoria ana tētahi hākari nui rawa mā ngā rangatira nā rātou nei i āwhina, i tiaki te Pākehā i te riri o Te Mamaku.

Te hokinga o te rangatira nei me tana ōati iho, "He paku rawa tēnei kahu, ā, noho ake, māku e hoki mai me tētahi kahu mahana noa ake, ā te Kirihimete." Ko tōna whakaaro kē, ko te hoki mai me tētahi ope nui kē noa atu, hei pakanga ki te Pākehā.
I te mōhio o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango me ngā rangatira o Pūtiki-wharanui ka aituā rātou o te tāone, horo tonu rātou ki te whakapā atu ki te kāwanatanga ka pare- kuratia a Whanganui, i te iti tāngata hei whawhai i te ope tauā a Te Mamaku ina hoki mai. Whakaae tonu mai te kāwanatanga, ko te haerenga mai o Kāpene Rei me tana Kura-takahi-puni, hei awhi i te hunga Pākehā i roto i tō rātou pā tūwatawata, o te tāone hou o Whanganui. Ka waimarie rātou, ka ora.

Engari tērā atu tētahi aituā i pā mai ki tētahi whānau Pākehā, ā, kī katoa noa iho anō, ko te patunga i te whānau a tētahi Pākehā, ko Kiriwhina te ingoa. Tērā tētahi Pākehā i whakaae ki te utu i tētahi koroheke ki te whakaaratia e ia he whare raupō mōna. I te otinga o te whare, ka kōroiroi te Pākehā rā, ka rere ki tana pū ki te whakamataku kau i te koroua. Nā te aha rā, pakū ana te pū a te Pākehā. Ka whakaaro ngā Māori he mea āta pupuhi mārika te koroua rā, ā, tō rātou kitenga i ngā hōia Pākehā e kāwhaki ana i tā rātou tangata ki roto i te pātū, whakaaro tonu iho ngā Māori, he āta kōhuru tika tonu i tō rātou tupuna, i a Hapurona.

I tētahi pō o Āperira, i te tau 1846, ka haere ngā whanaunga o te kaumātua rā ki te ngaki i te taotūnga o tō rātou tupuna. Tūpono tonu ko te wahine a Kiriwhina me ā rāua tamariki, ētahi rā, ka patua, mate rawa.

Ko te hunga e mōhio ana ki te ture Māori mō te ngaki mate, whakaheke toto rānei, e mātau ana, ehara tēnei, ki te Māori, i te kōhuru. Mā te ngakinga i te mate ka ea ai te hekenga toto. Nā reira, ki tō te Māori ki tōna ture, kāhore i te hē te ope nei.

Ko tō rātou haranga kē ko tā rātou hanganga kia whakapaea kētia ko ngā Māori o Pūtiki-wharanui, arā, o te tai whakararo o te awa o Whanganui. Nā tēnei, ka pōuri a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango me tana iwi. Koinei, ka tahuri anō a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango ki te rangaranga i tana iwi ki te whai i te ope nā rātou nei te patunga i te whānau a Kiriwhina.

Tū rawa mai ngā ope tokorua nei ki te tai whakarunga rawa o te awa. I reira ka pakanga, ā, mau ana taua ope i a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango mā, herehere rawatia, whakahokia mai ana ki Whanganui tāone whakawā ai i tā te Pākehā i tāna whakawā. Te whakataunga whakawā, he mea kōhuru e te ope nei te whānau a Kiriwhina; ehara kē rā, ki tā te Māori tikanga. Hei aha, whakamatea iho taua ope. Nā tēnei rangaranga a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, ka wātea mai te taha ki a rātou o Pūtiki-wharanui.

Tērā tētahi wā, ka puta ngā whakaaro o tō rātou minita, o Te Teira, kia hoki ia ki tōna kāinga whenua tupu, ki Ingarangi, ki te tere i ana whanaunga. Ka whakaaro ake ia, pai tonu tētahi o tōna iwi o Pūtiki-wharanui kia haere tahi hei hoa mōna. Te kōkiringa i tana take ki te aroaro o Te Āti Hau, tere tonu te hopunga iho a te iwi i ana whakaaro. Ka rūnanga tētahi hui nui atu i ngā whakaaro o Te Āti Hau, tau ana tuatahi, ko wai hei hoa mō tō rātou minita, hei takapau tangata, hei reo, hei kanohi mō rātou i te aroaro o te Kuini; tuarua, he aha ngā takapau whakaaro hei whakatakoto atu ki te Kuini e tō rātou reo; tuatoru, he aha te takapau taonga hei tukunga ki te Kuini, hei tohu manaaki mā rātou ki te Kuini. Te whakataunga a te iwi, taka ana ki a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, māna te haere ki rāwāhi, hei whakatutuki i ngā tūmanakoranga ō te iwi.

Ka maunu atu a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango rāua ko tana minita, ko Te Teira, mā runga kaipuke, ka tīmata ia ki te tuhituhi i ngā mahi, i ngā mea i kite ai ia, i rongo ai ia, mō ia rā, mō ia rā, tae noa atu ki Ingarangi. Koinei ka waimarie tātou ki tētahi wāhanga tuhituhinga āna mō tā rātou haere, whakawhiti rawa ki rāwāhi, i ngā moana nunui o te ao.

I a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango i Ingarangi, ka kite ia i ētahi mea whakamīharo rawa atu te hanga me te āhua tonu o taua whenua. Ngā toa hokohoko, ngā motuwaka nunui, ririki hoki, ngā rākau o ērā whenua, ngā tāngata tonu anō hoki, ō rātou āhua, te hanga tangata tonu. Te tāone, ā Rānana, ngaro ana i te tini tāngata, i kitea ai tōna nui whakaharahara, tōna wehi, tōna ihi. Āra atu anō te maha o ngā mea whakamīharo, tae atu ki ngā tīma, ki ngā iota, me ō rātou rāwhara, anō nei nā he ngahere tonu, hoki ana ngā mahara ki te pepeha a ngā tūpuna: "Ko ngā tāmariki rā ēnei o te wao nui a Tāne-mahuta."

Mau ana te wehi i a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, i te takinga atu i a ia kia whakamanuhiritia e Kuini Wikitōria, i roto i tana whare. Inā hoki te nui, te tiketike, te maha o ngā rūma, he nunui katoa, kore i ārikarika. Ā, te taenga ki te wā i tukuna atu ai ia ki te aroaro o te Kuini tonu, ka mīharo anō te rangatira nei. I reira, ka mutu te whakatau a te Kuini, ka whakatakotoria atu ana taonga, arā, ngā takapau taonga a te iwi. I reira anō, ka whakatakotoria hoki e ia ngā whakaaro o Te Āti Hau, ō rātou tūmanakoranga, me tō rātou tapatahi i raro i te maru o te rangatiratanga motuhake o te Emepaea. I reira hoki, ka tūtaki a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango ki a Arapeta te Piriniha, te hoa tāne o Kuini Wikitōria. Ka tutuki rā te whakamaunga atu o tana iwi, i tukuna atu ai ia, hei hoa haere mō tō rātou minita, mō Te Teira.

Ahakoa rā, he maha ngā mea whakamīharo i kite ai ia, i rongo ai hoki, i te tāone nui tonu o tērā whenua, arā, o Rānana, tērā atu hoki ētahi mea maha tonu i pōuri ai a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. Ko te noho tonu a tāua iwi, ā te Pākehā. I tana pōuri mārika, kauwhau ana ia ki a tauiwi, mō tā rātou takatakahi, tā rātou takakino i te Rā Hāpati. Whai wāhi tonu ia ki te kauwhau ki tētahi rōpū Hūrai o Rānana. Mangungu ana te rōpū nei, i te taumaha mārika o tana whakatakoto i ana tohe, i ana take, i tōna tūranga, mō te taonga a te Wāhingaro ki a ia, ki te Māori, ā, ki ngā tāngata katoa. Te mutunga iho o ana kauwhau, ko te huringa o tētahi wāhanga nui tonu o taua rōpū hei karaitiana. Hei whakamana i tō rātou huringa, nā te rōpū tonu nei ki a ia te inoi kia iriiria rātou i te aroaro tonu o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango.

Tērā anō tētahi kauwhautanga o Hoani Wiremu i te kokonga o tētahi tiriti, mō te tūkino a tauiwi i te Hāpati. I te kaha o tana kauwhau, tangi ana tētahi wahine, kotekote rawa, i tana mātaunga ake ki ōna kino, ki tōna hara nui. I kitea ai te hōhonutanga o te rangatira nei, ki ngā taonga-ā-wairua, ki tana maunga kaha i te Rongopai i whakatōria ki roto ki tōna whatumanawa.

I te ūnga mai o te rangatira nei me Te Teira minita, arā, ki te wā kāinga nei, tūpono tonu he pakanga nui kei Taranaki i waenganui i ngā rangatira o aua takiwā, ngā iwi o Rāwiri Waiaua me Katatore. Ko Te Teira i haere tuatahi ki te wawao, he aha te aha. I haere anō hoki a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, pērā anō, he aha te aha. Whawhai tonu ngā iwi rā, tekau mā tahi tau te roa o taua pakanga.

Kāhore i roa i muri mai o tēnei haere ki Taranaki, ka hiahia a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango ki te tāpae i a ia hei minita i te Rongopai ki tana iwi. Ka whakapā atu ia ki tana minita, ki a Te Teira, ā, nā Te Teira i heri ki Ākarana, kia kuraina ki Tīpene. Nā, i tana hihiko, i tana hohoro kia puta ia, mau tonu iho te rangatira nei ki tana taonga, hore rawa he tirotirohanga ake, ki mauī ki katau, i te tapatahi o tōna whakaaro, o tōna hinengaro. Mahi atu ia ki roto ki te pō, ā, awatea noa; i te awatea, ā, atu ki te roanga o te pō, he kānara te rama. E hia tana roa e whakariterite ana i a ia, mō tāna i matea nuitia ai e ia. I tētahi rangi, rongo tonu iho ia i te taumahatanga o ana whatu; te tirohanga a te tākuta, kitea ana te hē haere o ana whatu, ko te whakakāhoretanga i a ia mō te mahi minita. Ahakoa nui rawa atu te mamae o te rangatira nei, ki tana hapanga ki te mahi i kōingotia e tōna hinengaro, mau tonu ia ki te taonga i kitea e ia, ki te koha a te Wāhingaro ki a ia, ki tana iwi hoki. I tōna hapanga, hapa ana anō hoki te hāhi i tēnei pononga mātau, pononga tapatahi, ki te mahi i te tika.

I te rongonga o Kāwana Kerei kua whakakāhoretia a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango mō te mahi minita, horo tonu tana whakatūranga i a Hīpango ki tētahi tūranga nui, tūranga mā te tangata pēnei anake anō me Hoani Wiremu Hīpango te tapatahi, te mōhio, te hihiko, te tika. Kāhore ia i whakaae i te tuatahi, heoi, nā te auau o te werowero a Kāwana Kerei, riro ana i tā te Kāwana, whakaae ana ia.

Ka mahi nei ia, ā, ka puta te karanga ki a Te Kerei kia neke hei kāwana mō tētahi whenua kē atu. I mua o te wehenga atu o Te Kerei, ka wehea ake e ia tētahi penihana mō Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, mō tana tautoko tapatahi i te kāwanatanga i roto i ngā whawhai, i ngā aha ake. Ka haere nei a Te Kerei, mutu tonu mai i reira te penihana o te rangatira nei. Kore rawa ia i kōrerorero, i komuhu, i kimi hara.

E hia anō ngā tau o Te Kerei e ngaro atu ana, ka whakahokia mai ia hei Kāwana anō mō Niu Tīreni. Kore tonu i puta he kupu i a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. Kia roa tonu anō, kātahi anō a Te Kerei ka rongo ki te hara mārika o te kāwanatanga ki tēnei pononga rangatira āna. Ko te riringa o te Kāwana mō tēnei takakino a te kāwanatanga i tēnei tū momo tangata. Ko te whakahaunga a Te Kerei i te kāwanatanga, kia utua tāna nama ki a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, tīmata mai i te tīmataranga rā anō, tae mai ki taua wā tonu.

I Moutoa, he moutere i roto o te awa o Whanganui, ki te tai whakarunga, ka papā te iwi o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, arā, o Pūtiki-wharanui me ērā atu pā o te tai whakararo, ka pakanga rātou ki tētahi ope tauā o te Hauhau. Ko te ope nei, e whakamau mai ana ki te tāone hou o Whanganui, ki te patu kia mate rawa ngā Pākehā o taua tāone. Katoa. I konei ka rangaranga anō a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango i tana rahinga, hei ārai atu i te ope Hauhau rā. Ko tana tangi tuatahi tonu, ko tana karanga ki ngā kaiako o ngā kura katoa i roto i te rohe o Te Āti Hau, kia āwhinatia mai rātou, i runga i te kaupapa inoi ki te Runga Rawa, mō ana manaaki, āna tohu, mō tōna atawhai.

I te pō anō, ka whakaeke te hoariri ki te wāhi i te puni o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. I Hiruhārama, o Whanganui awa, tēnei whakaekenga a te hoariri, ko te kōkiritanga o Hoani mā muri o ngā Hauhau, ā, ki te wāhi ki runga atu, hei aukati mai i muri, kia kite mārama anō ai hoki ia i tana puni.

Koinei te tukunga a te hoariri i ngā tokowhā hei wāhi i te puni o Hoani Wiremu Hīpango; mau ana aua tokowhā, whāngaia ana kētia, ā, tukuna atu ana kia hoki ki tō rātou ope. Ka tuaruatia anō tēnei wāhi a te Hauhau, i te tira whawhai a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, kore ake he aha. Ka tuaruatia anō hoki e Hoani Wiremu Hīpango te whāngai i te kaiwāhi, ā, tukuna atu anō ki tō rātou ope tauā. Nō te papātanga tuatoru, ka taotūngia a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. Nāna anō a ia i hoki ki muri, ka hoatu i tana pū ki a Hākaraia, tana tuarua, ka tohutohu atu, ā, whakahokia mai ana e ētahi o ana tāngata ki Pūtiki-wharanui whakahemohemo ai. I te kāinga, ka tirohia e ngā tākuta tokorua, kī tonu iho e kore e puta tana ihu. I te taenga atu o Te Teira, tūtuki tonu atu ia ki ētahi Māori e auē ana, "Kua mate a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango."

I mua o tana hemonga, ka whakatau oha ake ia, kia whakahokia tana tinana ki Pipiriki, ki te pae o te pakanga, he tikanga tawhito tēnei. Heoti anō, mau tonu iho a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango ki tana kāinga takoto ai.

Tētahi tangihanga nui whakaharahara rawa atu tērā. Puta katoa mai ngā māngai o ngā hāhi katoa, te tini Pākehā o te tāone hou o Whanganui, ngā tumuaki o ngā tūranga kāwanatanga, o ngā Kura-takahi-puni, o ngā kura hoki, ki te poroaki ki a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango. Ngarue ana te whenua, ngāoko ana te tangata, tutū ana te puehu i te takahanga a te Hokowhitu-a-Tūmatauenga, pāorooro ana i te pakupakūnga pū, rū ana te tupuna nei a Papatūānuku i te hakanga; tau ana te wehi, te ihiihi.

Mutu kau ana te karakia, ka whakamānu atu a Hoani Wiremu Hīpango i runga i ngā pakihiwi o tana tauā, ka amohia ki tana takotoranga i Korokota, he hiwi tairanga, he hiwi teitei tonu. Inā tonu te rere a te pari, hei aha, nā te aroha taea ana te piki, māmā noa iho te amo i taua rangatira. I kitea ai te puni rangatira, hei poroaki i a ia, i kitea ai tōna mana, tōna ihi, tōna wehi. Kitea ana te hono tātai, te mū a te tini, te wene a te mano, te manu tīoriori o tana waka o Aotea.

Whakatairangatia ana ia ki runga rā, kia mārakerake iho ai tana titiro ki runga ki Whanganui tāone, huri noa, ki runga Pūtiki-wharanui huri noa, ki runga ki tana iwi Pākehā, huri noa, tē Pākehā i ōhākī ai ia, ki tana iwi, ki a Te Āti Hau, "Ā muri ake nei i a au, tiakina aku taonga!"

Tanumia ana ia, ā Hoani Wiremu Hīpango, e tana tini, ā, whakaarahia ana he tiki whakamahara ki taua toa rangatira, toa ki te tuitui i te Pākehā, i te Māori, hei iwi mōna, kia rite ai i a ia te pepeha a ōna tūpuna, "Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini," ngā toa nā rātou nei i pūtiki ki te taura whiri ā te kuia rā, ā Hinengākau.

Nā konei rā, mai i tōna takotoranga i te moenga tē taea te nekeneke, ko ia tērā, kei runga tonu kei tōna taumata, hei waiataranga mā ngā whakatupuranga heke, heke iho,

Kei reira e noho ana,
Tamarahi Pā Riri,
Tītoko o te rangi,
Whakawhiti o te rā,
Whakaaio whenua!
Heoi anō rā!

Kia ora koutou katoa!

Hānuere 27, 1855. Ko te toru o ngā upoko

Nō te 27 o ngā rā o Hānuere, ka hiki mai mātou ki runga i te kaipuke, ko tōna ingoa ko Erenipara. Nō te rua tekau mā waru, ka rere mātou.

Ka mahue te whenua, ka tata mātou ki Te Waipounamu, ka Rātapu. Nō te taenga ki te whitu o ngā rā o Pēpuere, ka puta te hau nui whakaharahara; ko te ingoa o taua hau he tonga, he pārera. Kāore anō i tae noa ki te tahi o ngā hāora, ka puta taua hau nei, ka tukitukia tō mātou kaipuke e te hau, ka pakaru; ka riro ngā poaka e rua, ngā manu hoki.

Ko te whakaaro o ngā Pākehā, ka totohu mātou. Ka kite i te wai e haruru ana ki raro ki te hōro, ka tū ngā Pākehā ki te tatā i te wai, ki te mapu hoki. Mapu tonu, ā, pō noa te rā. Kāore hoki ngā Pākehā i hoki ki te unu i ngā kākahu nāna ka mākū. Hei aha mā te Pākehā mahi tonu, mahi tonu, ā, pō noa, e rere ana te wai ki raro. Ka kī ake ngā Pākehā, "Ka pēnei tonu, kei te pō tātou te totohu ai."

Kāore hoki ngā Pākehā i tahuri ki te kai; i tahuri tonu ki te mahi i te kaipuke. Ka kī ake ngā Pākehā, kātahi rātou ka kite i te hau nui.

E toru ō mātou rā e hurihuri noa iho ana tō mātou kaipuke, kātahi te kupu a te kapitene ka puta, ka kī ake, "Engari me totohu tātou kāore he hau tika mō tātou" Ka tahuri atu ētahi o ngā rangatira, ka riri ki te kāpene; ka karanga atu ngā rangatira me Te Teira hoki, "E hē ana tō kupu. E kore mātou e whakaae ki tō kupu."

Nō te whā o ngā rā, ka tika te hau. I te ata, ka kitea te kaipuke e rere ana i mua o tō mātou; ko ngā mahi anake i kitea atu e mātou. Tae rawa atu ki te tina tāima, ka tata ki tō mātou. Ka uia atu e ngā kara o tō mātou, "Ko wai tō ingoa?"

Ka hiwia ngā kara o tērā kaipuke, ka karanga mai, "Ko Hirini tōku ingoa; i rere mai au i Ōpe Tāone."

Heoti anō, ka mahue ki muri i tō mātou. Ka rua ō mātou rā e rere ana, ka puta anō hoki te hau; he hau pai tērā, he hau tika. Ko ngā ngaru me ngā maunga te tiketike. E toru ō mātou wiki, ka whiti ki te rae o Kipa Ōno. Ko tēnei moana i rere nei mātou he huka kau, he huka kau. Ka kitea hoki tētahi motu huka i waenganui o te moana, e teretere noa iho ana i runga i te kare o te wai.

Ka mahue ki muri, ka rere noa iho i roto i te ua. Kāore e puta te rā, tae noa mātou ki te rae o Marikena, ki Kipa Ōno ki taua rae whakamataku nei. Kāore i whai hau, kāore i whai aha. Ka kī ake ngā Pākehā, "He mea mīharo rā tēnei, kātahi anō a Kipa Ōno ka pēnei te marino."

Ka huri mai mātou ki tua o taua rae nei, ka kitea hoki ētahi motu huka e whitu; ko te tiketike kei Waipuna, kei Ōkupe. Ka tae mai mātou ki reira, ka mea ngā Pākehā kia tohe rātou ki te kāpitene kia peka ki Rio Terero, kia kite i tētahi tāone nui o Marikena i tua o te rae o Kipa Ōno me utu te kapitene ki te moni.

Ka kī ake tēnei Pākehā, "Kotahi tekau āku pāuna hei utu ki te kapitene."

Ka kī ake ētahi o ngā Pākehā, e rima āna pāuna hei utu ki te kapitene.

Nō te ahiahi, ka rongo te kapitene, ka karanga mai, "Kāhore. E kore au e whakaae; e tūpato ana au mō te kaipuke, kei pakaru. Ki ahau, tahuri mai ngā rangatira o te kaipuke ki te rapu utu i ahau, kāore he tikanga mō tōku ekenga mai i runga i tēnei kaipuke. Ahakoa hōmai koutou e toru rau pāuna, e kore au e whakaae. Tēnei anō te mea e whakaae ai au, mehemea kāore he kai, kāore he wai. Ka tika ko tēnei, e ora ana tātou; kāore tātou i matekai e nui ana te kai mā tātou i te kaipuke."

Heoti anō, ka rere mātou.

Nō Māehe 12, 1855. 4, te whā o ngā upoko

Ka tae tō mātou kaipuke ki te tīmatanga o te wāhi mahana, ka puta te hau nō runga i Marikena E rua ngā rā e puta ana, tae noa ki te Rātapu, ki te 12 o Māehe. Ka nui te hau, ka tukitukia anō hoki tō mātou kaipuke i konei; e tina ana mātou, e tukitukia mai ana i waho atu o mātou.

Ka heke iho māua ko Te Teira ki raro, ka piki ake anō a Te Teira ki runga, kia kite i te kaipuke; e tū ana i runga rātou katoa, ka puta te ngaru, ka pākia rātou ngaro katoa ngā tāngata me te kaipuke. Ka rere iho a Te Teira ki raro ki te hōro, ka karanga mai, "Ngaro katoa mātou i te ngaru!"

E takoto ana au i runga i te moenga, he kikini nō taku ate. Ka tae mai a Te Teira ki ahau, ka kī mai, "E pēhea ana koe?"

Ka kī atu au, "Kāore aku whakaaro. Heoti rā anō te hau i pōuri ai au, ko te hau i Nui Tīreni ko tēnei kua tawhiti mai nei. Kāore aku whakaaro, kei te Atua te whakaaro. Ki te pai te Atua kia motuhia te tinana me te wairua, e pai ana: me tuku atu te whakaaro ki te Atua."

Ka karanga mai ko Te Teira, "E tika ana; e tata ana tāua ki te Atua. Ahakoa e tū ora ana te tangata, i roto i te ora e mate ana; i roto i te mate e ora ana. Ko te mutunga tēnei o te oranga o te tangata."

Ka whakaae atu hoki au ki te kupu a Te Teira. Heoti anō, ka piki anō hoki a Te Teira ki te tī, ka karanga mai ki ahau, "Me tango mai e au tētahi tīmāu?"

Ka whakaae atu au, "Āe."

Ka mutu tā rātou tī, ka tae mai a Te Teira me te kapu tī māku. Ka kōrero mai a Te Teira, "Ka nui te ua; nā te ua, mutu ai te hau. Otiia, nā te Atua i tuku mai he ua hei whakamutu i te hau."

Marino noa iho te moana. Me i kore te Atua hei whakakāhore i ngā hau pēnei, kua totohu noa ake mātou i te riu o te moana. Ka rua ō mātou totohutanga, me te whakaorangia anō e te Atua: kia whakapaingia te ingoa o Ihowa mō tana whakaohonga ake i āna hau katoa, me āna ngaru nunui, mō tana whakamatenga anō hoki i āna hau nui, me āna ngaru i whakaoho ai! Ka puta tōna waha ki te riri ki āna mea hanga, ka mutu.

Ka awatea, ka rere mātou. Ka rua ngā rā e rere ana, ka ui atu te kapitene ki te tuari, "E nui ana rānei te kai o te kaipuke?"

Ka kī mai te tuari, "Āe, e nui ana."

Ka uia ki tētahi o ngā mēte, ka kī mai te mēte, "Aua." Ka kimihia, kāore i kitea; e ruarua ana ngā kai o te kaipuke. Ka tohea e te kapitene ki te hoko kai i Eterina, arā, i te whare herehere o Ponipata. Ka whakaaro hoki te kapitene, he roa. Nō reira ka tohea hei Panepuka, ka whakaae katoa.

Ka kitea te kaipuke nō Ingarani e rere mai ana; i te ata, ka tukua te poti, ka tonoa e te kapitene ko te mēte. Ka tae atu te mēte, ka ui atu, "Kāore he parāoa?"

Ka kī mai te rangatira, "Kāore, ēngari he nūpepa."

Ka uia atu, "E rere ana koe ko hea?"

Ka kī mai te rangatira, "Ko Pōpiripi."

Heoti anō, ka rere mai tērā, ka rere atu hoki mātou nei. E toru ngā Rātapu, tata mātou ki Panepuka. I ngā whā o ngā Rātapu, i te Tūrei, ka kitea te whenua o Marikena, me ngā mōkī. Ko tōna ingoa he katimarani; ko ngā rākau o raro o te kaupapa, e ono, kei roto i te wai e haere ana, me te tērā anō ki runga. E haere ana ki te huti ika i waho i te moana; ahakoa nui te hau, e kore e tahuri.

Ka ahiahi pō, ka tū tō mātou kaipuke. I te ata, ka hoe te poti o te kapitene ki uta ki te whakarite kai mō te kaipuke. Ka tae atu ki uta, ka kī atu kia kawea mai te poti mō mātou. Ka tae mai, ka utaina mātou ki runga, ka hoe atu ki uta mātou ko Te Teira, me ētahi o ngā rangatira e haere ana hoki ki te mātakitaki i Panepuka. Ko tēnei tāone ko tētahi wāhi o te whenua o Marikena.

Ka tae atu mātou ki uta, ka kite mātou i te āhua pai o ngā rākau. Ko te tauranga i pai, ko ngā whare i pai, ko te āhua o te tāone i kino - ka nui te pai o te whenua. Ka tae atu mātou ki uta, ka haereere māua ko Te Teira kia kite i te whenua, i ngā rākau. Ka haere māua, ka kite i ngā rākau, me ngā mea katoa. Ka tae ki te tina, ka hoki mai māua ki te tina. Ka kōrerotia mai ki a Te Teira e te tuari o te whare, "Kotahi te minita e noho nei, ko Te Mōkena te ingoa."

Ka karanga mai a Te Teira ki ahau, "Me haere tāua kia kite i te minita."

Ka whakaae atu au. Ka mutu te tina, ka haere māua kia kite. Ka tae atu māua, ka kite, ka hari ki ngā hoa whakapono. Ka mutu te kōrero, ka takoto te tī. Ka mutu te tī, ka hoki atu māua ki ō māua hoa. Te ahiahi, ka kī mai a Te Mōkena ki a māua, "Ki te noho koutou āpōpō, me hoki mai kōrua ki konei noho ai."

Ka whakaae atu māua. Heoti anō, ka harirū mātou, ka haere mai māua.

Ka tae mai ki ō māua hoa, ko te kapitene ia kua tae kē i te awatea ki te kaipuke. Ka tae mai māua ki te whare i tina ai mātou, ka hoko a Te Teira i ngā mea mā mātou mō te kaipuke. Ka mutu te hoko, ka utaina mātou ki runga i te poti, ka hoe atu ki te kaipuke. Ka tae atu mātou, ka hoki atu te poti kawe mai i a mātou.

Ka ao te rā, ka tae mai te poti kawe mai i ngā kai mō tō mātou kaipuke. Ka utua e te kapitene kotahi rau, e toru tekau mā ono pāuna i utua ai ngā kai. Ka mutu, ka rere mātou i te ahiahi.

5, te rima o ngā upoko

Nō te rima o Āperira 1855, ka rere mai mātou i Panepuka. Nō te whitu, i te Kuru Paraire, ka whakatakotoria e Te Teira te Hakarameta i runga i te kaipuke. Ko ngā wāhine i tango, kotahi tekau; tokowhā mātou ngā tāne.

Ka kotahi tō mātou Rātapu, ka tūtaki i tētahi kaipuke nō Ingarani e rere mai ana ko tētahi motu i Marikena; ko te hoko huka, waipiro, kawhe. Ka tukua te poti o te kapitene, ka hoe atu ki runga. Hoki mai, e rua ngā rī taewa. Ko te ingoa o taua kaipuke ko Reretepata.

Ka rere tō mātou. Ko taua moana, e nui ana te wera wera o te rā, he poupou tonu hoki nō te rā ki runga ki te tumuaki. Ka nui te kaha o te rā, ko te hau he hau kotahi e kore e rite ki ngā hau o te moana makariri. He maha ōna hau; ko te moana mahana, kotahi tonu tōna hau, kei runga i te whenua o Kēpa Kuru Hāpa.

E toru ō mātou Rātapu, ka kitea te kaipuke pakaru e tere ana ko tētahi taha o te kaipuke. Ko tō mātou whakaaro, kua mate pea ngā Pākehā o runga, kua aha rānei; waiho ake e mātou kia tere ana.

I te whā o ngā Rātapu, ka rite ki te rāina e mutu ai te werawera, e tīmata ai te mātao. Ka puta ake te marama i muri iho o te tōnga o te rā; ko te pō, he atua te pō. Ka tae ki te wā e wehea ai te ahiahi me te ata, ka tae mai a Te Teira ki te whakaoho i ahau. Ka kī mai, "Me haere tāua kia kite i te pounga o te marama."

Heoti anō, ka piki ake māua, ka kite. Kāore anō i tīmata te mate o te marama. E taro kau ana tō māua nohoanga iho, ka tīmata rawa te ngaronga o te marama. Kotahi hāora, ka ngaro te marama; ko te āhua o te ngaronga, i pēnei anō me te matenga o te marama, me te arahanga rānei. Ka kite au i tēnei āhua o te mārama, tēnei anō tā ētahi whenua e kite ai. Ko te matenga o te mārama, ko te aranga, ko te mahanuitanga ko te mōhiotanga tēnei o te Pākehā kei te porotakataka te ao.

Ka tākiri te ata, ka kitea ngā kaipuke e rere mai ana, e rere atu ana. Ka tae ki te rima o ngā Rātapu, ka tika te hau mō mātou, ka tae hoki ki te moana makariri. Ka nui ngā hau; ka kī mai ngā rangatira e whā rā, ka tae ki Ingarani.

Ko te āhua o tēnei moana, pōuri tonu; kāore i kite i te rā. Nō tō mātou tatanga ki Ingarani, ka nui ngā kaipuke e rērere ana i waho i te moana. Koia anō kei te ngāherehere te māhi o te kaipuke, koia anō me te motu whenua i waho i te moana. Whakauru mai te poti i roto, te rākau rua, te rākau toru, te rākau tahi.

Ka tae mai ngā pōti anō i whakaritea hei tango i ngā pukapuka kia hohoro ai te tae ki uta; ka tae mai te poti, ka hoatu ngā pukapuka, ka rere mātou. Ka tae ki te pito o te whenua, ka mātakitaki i te āhua o te whenua. Ka tae ki waenganui o te whenua, ka pō, moe iho. Ka tākiri te ata, ka tae mai te poti o te paerata; nō Tōwa tēnei paerata.

E rua ō mātou rā e miri haere ana i te tahataha, ka eke mai he paerata anō, nō Tira. Ko te tino paerata tēnei. Ka tae ki Māketa i te Paraire, ka tū tō mātou kaipuke i reira. Ka tae mai te tīma ki te pārete, ka karanga atu te kapitene, "E hia ngā utu e pai ai koe?"

Ka karanga mai ko te rangatira o te tīma, "E ono tekau mā whitu pāuna."

Ka kī atu te kapitene, "Kāhore, ēngari kia whā tekau mā rima."

Ka whakakāhore mai te rangatira o te tīma, ka kī mai, "Kāhore, ēngari kia ono tekau mā whitu."

Ka karanga riri atu te kapitene, "Kunaiti, piopi!"

Ka hoki te tīma; moe iho. Ao ake te rā, i te rā horoi ka haere katoa ngā Pākehā ki uta me te kapitene hoki. Ka noho ko māua ko Teira, me ngā mēte o te kaipuke, me te paerata hoki hei kapitene. Ka tō te rā, ka tae mai tētahi tīma kē ki te kōrero ki te mēte, ki tō raro iho o te kapitene. Ka uia atu, "E hia ngā utu i pai ai koe mō tō pāretetanga?"

Ka kī mai ko te rangatira tīma, "E ono tekau." Ka whakaaetia e te mēte: "Āe, e pai ana."

Moe iho; ao ake i te Rātapu, ka tae mai te tīma ki te pārete. E whā tekau māero, ka tata mātou ki te awa, ki Tēmeti, ka tapoko ki roto. Koia anō a uta te whenua! Ngaro katoa i te Pākehā, i te kāri, i te wīti, i te tini noa iho o ā te Pākehā mahi. Te iwi kaha ki te mahi, he Pākehā! Titiro atu ki waho ki te moana, ngaro ana i te kaipuke, i te tīma, i te poti.

Ka tae mātou ki Karawitene, ka whati te tai, ka tukua te haika. Ka tae mai a Pehira ki a mātou kia haere ki Rānana; ka haere ko Te Teira me te tamāhine, ka noho ko ahau i runga anō i te kaipuke me ngā rangatira o te kaipuke. Nō te tekau mā toru o ngā rā o Mei, i te Rātapu, i te Mane, i te tekau mā whā, 14, ka rere anō hoki mātou i roto i te awa. Ka titiro ki uta, ka kitea: ngaro ana te whenua i te tangata, me te rango e mui ana i te raumati, me te namu hoki tē puta te rā ki tua i te tangata!

Ka tae mai mātou ki te tauranga, ki Rānana, ka tae mai a Te Teira me te tama ki te tiki mai i ahau. Ka haere mātou, ka rere i runga i te rerewē. Ka tae atu ki te wāhi e tū ai, ka waiho e mātou, ka rere mātou i runga i te ominipahu. Ka mātakitaki haere i te tāone, i Rānana, i te pānui. Ka tae ki te whare hei nohoanga, ka waiho ahau e Te Teira me te tama, ka karanga iho, "Hei konei noho ai. Kei te haere ahau ki te whare i uta; māku e hoki mai kia kite i a koe."

Heoti anō, ka haere rāua, ka moe au. Ka tae te kōrero ki te kāreti, ki te Hāhi, ka tū te komiti kia tīkina mai au, kia tangohia ki te kāreti. Ka uia kei hea e noho ana, ka kīia atu, "Kei te nama ono."

Ka tonoa mai a Wiremu Roretene ki te tiki mai i ahau. Ka tae mai ki waho o te whare, ka pātukituki mai, ka haere atu te wahine o te whare ki te uaki i te tatau. Ka tae mai a Roretene, ka oha mai ki ahau, ka oha atu hoki ahau. Ka harirū māua; ka mutu te harirū, ka kī mai, "I haere mai au ki te tiki mai i a koe. Nā te komiti au i tono mai; me haere tāua ki te kāreti."

Kāore hoki he roa, ka haere māua. Ka tae mai māua ki tōna whare, ka kite au i a Mata Para rāua ko Mata Roretene. Ka mutu te tina, ka haere ki te kāreti ki te kawe i ahau kia kite a Te Paera, te tuatahi o te kāreti. Ka kite, ka koa mō te kitenga i ahau.

Nō te aonga ake, ka ahiahi, ka poroakina mai au e Te Wene kia haere atu a Te Karaka rāua ko Wiremu Roretene hei kawe atu i ahau ki tōna whare, kia kite ia i ahau. Ka tae atu mātou, ka hari a Te Wene mō te kitenga i ahau. Ka mutu, ka hoki mai mātou ki te kāreti. I te Tūrei, ka haere a Te Teira ki te whare komiti; ka tirohia, kāore au i roto. Ka ui mai te komiti ki a Te Teira, "Kei hea tō hoa?"

Ka kī atu a Te Teira, "Kei te kāreti."

Nō te Wenerei, ka haere mātou ki te mātakitaki i te whare takotoranga taonga o ngā whenua katoa o te ao. Ka kitea te tini o ngā kararehe o roto o te wai, o runga o te whenua: ngā ngārara, ngā manu, ngā tāngata i mate i te Wai i a Noa, ngā ngārara i mate i te Wai i a Noa, ngā kararehe i mate i te Wai i a Noa, ngā whakapakoko kōhatu a ngā tauiwi, ngā tūpāpaku o Ihipa. Ka toru mano tau, ko aua tūpāpaku nei e ora tonu ana. Kāore anō kia pirau noa, me ngā rākau o ngā kāwhena e ora tonu ana. I ora ai, i rongoatia ki te totepita, me te mea nei kātahi anō ka oti ake i te rā tahi.

Kotahi te atua whakapakoko o Nui Tīreni i kitea ai māua, ko ngā rākau pounamu o Kāwana Kerei, me ngā torotoro.

Ka mutu te mātakitaki, ka hoki mai ki te whare, moe iho. Ao ake te rā, ka kī mai a Te Teira ki ahau kia haere māua kia kite i te Whare Karaihe. Ka haere māua i runga i te rerewē; kāore i taro, kua tae. Ka tae atu, ka kite: he karaihe kau, kāore he mea kē he rino kau. Otiia ko ngā mea i roto i tēnei whare, ko te āhua o ngā mea i roto i te whare kua kite rā mātou i te tuatahi. Ko te mea pono anō tērā, he mea whakarite kau tēnei whare.

Ka haere ki te mātakitaki i ngā ngārara i te taha o te wai e tū ana. Ka mutu te mātakitaki, ka hoki mai anō mātou i runga i te rerewē. Ka tae mai ki Rānana, ka noho. I te Tūrei o te rua o ō mātou Rātapu, ka poroakina mai māua ko Eruera Te Karaka, hei whakamāori mōku, mō te komiti o te Hāhi, mō te whakaritenga i [ngā] minita, hei kōrero māku.

Ka tae atu māua ki roto i te whare o te komiti, ka pātai rawa a Te Wene ki ngā minita i haere ki te whakaako ki Īnia, ki ngā whenua katoa. Ka mutu te kōrero aua minita i te ritenga o ā rātou nei mahi, ka tahuri mai a Te Wene, ka pātai mai ki tōku kaiwhakamāori, ka kōrero atu au i āku mō ngā minita. Ka mutu, ka hoki mai māua. Heoti anō, ka mutu. Kāore a Te Teira i tae mai i tā mātou komiti.

Heoti anō ngā kōrero, nā tō koutou hoa aroha,
nā Hoani Wiremu Hipango, Rānana ki Whanganui, ki Pūtikiwharanui.

Ko te tīmatatanga tēnei o te whawhai ki Whanganui, he whare mō ngā Pākēha, nā Hapurona i hanga. Ka oti te whare, ka haere atu a Hapurona ki te whakarite i ngā utu, ka hōmai e taua tamaiti tekau mā rima hereni. Ka tohe atu kia hōmai anō ngā pāuna e rua i whakaritea ai i te tīmatanga o te whakaritenga o te whare, ka pūhia mai te pītara ki a Hapurona, ka tū ki te pāpāringa. Ko te take tēnei i tupu ai te kino ki Whanganui.

Ka haere mai a Taka, ka kite i te tupuna, i a Hapurona, e auē ana i te mamae o te matā, ka tupu te whakaaro o Taka ki te rapu utu mō te tupuna, kia mate rawa ake. Ka tupu te mate; ka whakatika, ka haere ki te patu i a Kiriwharani me ana tamariki, me tāna wahine.

Ka tae atu ki te whare, kāore a Kiriwharani i mōhio ki te kaipatu i a ia, ka whakaaturia e Kiriwharani tētahi o ōna whare hei moenga mō taua hunga. Kāore i taro, ka whuia e Taka te pātītī ki a Kiriwharani. Kāore i kaha te toki; ka rere atu a Kiriwharani ki roto ki te whare, ki te wahine me ngā tamariki, ka ringitia te wai ki te rama kia mate, kia pōuri ai.

Ka wāwāhia mai e ngā kaipatu te tatau o te whare, ka rere a Kiriwharani nā te wini o te whare, ka pahure. Ka whārērea iho ko ngā tamariki me te wahine hei ngau mā te patu a te tangata Māori, ka ngaua kinotia e te patu.

Ko te mea tēnei i pōuri ai te ngākau o te tangata karaitiana, ko ngā mea whakataimaha i te ngākau - e kore e taea te whakamanawanui ki ngā mamae o te tinana. Mā tētahi tangata e kī he tangata kaha ia ki te whakamanawanui - kāore, ko Te Karaiti anake i whakamanawanui ; e kore e taea e te tangata tēnei mahi. Waiho atu ngā whakamanawanui i te Tamaiti o te Atua - kaua te tangata e mea e taea e ia.
