Te pare ra o babela i te patu raa hia, te parau i faa huru
ê hia, e te feia patu i haa purara hia
Hoe roa o to te ao nei reo i mutaa ihora, e hoe hoi parau.
E te haere noa ra te hoe pae o ratou mai te hitia o te
râ mai, e ite atura i te hoe vahi papu i te fenua ra o Senara;
parahi ihora ratou i reira.
Ua parau ihora ratou ratou iho, Tatou e hamani i te lebene a
tahu ai i te auahi, O ta ratou ïa ofai o te lebene, e te hemera ei pua.
E ua na o ihora ratou, Tatou e patu i te tahi oire no tatou,
e te tahi pare, e ia puta noa 'tu te upoo i nia i te rai
ra ia itea to tatou ioa, o te purara nei.
Ua pou maira râ Iehova i raro e hio i taua oire ra, e taua pare
i patu hia e te taata ra.
E ua na o ihora Iehova, Inaha, ua ta hoe taua feia nei, e hoe
â hoi reo to ratou atoa ra; e te rave nei hoi ratou i taua mea nei;
e eita roa hoi ratou e ore i te rave i tei opua hia e rotou ra.
Mai haere tatou i raro e haa peapea i to ratou reo, ia ore te
tahi ia ite i to te tahi ra reo.
I reira to Iehova haa purara raa ia ratou i nia i te fenua 'toa
e ati noa 'e, ore aera ratou i patu i taua oire ra.
I mairi hia 'i hoi to 'na ioa, o Babela; no te mea i reira ta
Iehova haa peapea raa i te reo o te taata 'toa, e ua haa purara
Iehova ia ratou i nia i te fenua 'toa e ati noa 'e i reira.
From: Bibilia moa ra, oia te faufaa tahito e te faufaa
api ra: iritihia ei parau tahiti (1847)
