Na kotahi tonu te reo o te whenua katoa, rite tonu ano nga korero.
A, i a ratou e haere ana whaka te rawhiti, na ka kite ratou i tetahi
mania i te whenua o Hinara; a noho ana ratou i reira.
Na ka mea ratou ki tona hoa, ki tona hoa, Tena, tatou ka hanga
pereki, me ata tahu marire ano hoki. Na ka meinga e ratou he pereki
hei kohatu, he uku hoki ta ratou moata.
Na ka mea ratou, Tena, tatou ka hanga i tetahi pa me tetahi pourewa,
a kia tutuki a runga ki te rangi, kia whai ingoa ai tatou; kei marara
noa atu tatou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
Na ka heke iho a Ihowa kia kite i te pa me te pourewa, i hanga
nei e nga tama a te tangata.
A ka mea a Ihowa, Nana, kotahi tonu te iwi nei, kotahi ano hoki
to ratou reo; a ka timataia nei tenei mahi e ratou: e kore ano ratou
e taea te pupuri mai i tetahi mea, e whakaaro ana ratou kia mahia.
Tena, tatou ka heke atu, ka whakapoauau i o ratou reo i reira,
kia kore ai ratou e matau, ia tangata, ia tangata ki te reo o tona
hoa.
Na whakamararatia atu ana ratou i reira e Ihowa ki runga ki te
mata o te whenua katoa: a mahue ake i a ratou te hanga i te pa.
Na kona i huaina ai to reira ingoa ko Papera; no te mea i whakapoauautia
e Ihowa i reira te reo o te whenua katoa: no reira ano hoki te whakamararatanga
a Ihowa i a ratou ki te mata o te whenua katoa.
