He maha ngā tauira o te heahea a te tangata, ki te whara he tangata ka hā rawa atu
I kitea e ngā roopu ohotata o Pōneke he waka tātā, e toru ngā tangata i roto, i te pōteretere ki tai, i te raru
Ka tīmata te tātai i ngā heaheanga
E ai ki ngā rangatira o te roopu ohotata, kāre te tokotoru i tirotiro ki ngā huarere, te rere o te moana, te kaha o ngā hau
Tino iti rawa te waka tātā mo te tokotoru, a, tino pakupaku rawa te mihini tere i te waka
Na, i te kiteatanga o te tokorua e ngā roopu ohotata, kua kaha te pupuhi o te hau, kua kaha te kukume o ngā tai i to rātau waka ki waho, i te turuturu kinotia te waka e te wai.
Hai ta te roopu ohotata, mā katoa ngā mata o te tokotoru, anō nei he wairua poke i te whai ia rātau
