1 He taima ano kua takoto mo nga mea katoa, me te wa mo nga meatanga katoa i raro i te rangi:

2 He wa e whanau ai, he wa e mate ai; he wa e whakato ai, he wa e hutia ai te mea i whakatokia;

3 He wa e patu ai, he wa e rongoa ai; he wa e wawahi iho ai, he wa e hanga ake ai;

4 He wa e tangi ai, he wa e kata ai; he wa e aue ai, he wa e kanikani ai;

5 He wa e akiritia atu ai nga kohatu, he wa e kohikohia ai nga kohatu; he wa e awhi ai, he wa e kore ai e awhi;

6 He wa e rapu ai, he wa e ngaro ai; he wa e tiaki ai; he wa e akiri atu ai;

7 He wa e haehae ai, he wa e tuitui ai; he wa e whakarongo puku ai, he wa e korero ai;

8 He wa e aroha ai, he wa e mauahara ai; he wa e whawhai ai, he wa e mau ai te rongo.
