Ko te hiakai o te iwi, nā te maha o ngā tāke ka kai atu rātau ki runga ake, nā reira ka hiakai. Ko te uaua o te whakahaere i te iwi, nā ō rātau mahi whakapakari, nā reira ka uaua te whakahaere. Ko te māngere whakamate a te iwi, nā te nui o ō rātau wheako oranga, nā reira ka māngere whakamate. Ko te hunga kore ōrite ki te hiakai oranga, he nui ake tō rātau mātauranga i te hunga e pūrei ana ki te oranga.

He aha tēnei ki ahau?
Kei te mōhio ahau he pēhea te nui o ngā herenga o waho e pākēhea ai ō tātou noho. Ka whakaaro ahau mēnā e kaha ana tātou ki te tāmi i a tātou anō, ka hē haere ō tātou wairua. Me ako ahau kia ngākaunui ki te oranga ngāwari, kia kaua e hiahiatia nui rawa.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
Hōu tēnei rā, ka titiro ahau ki ōku ake hiahia, ka kite ahau i ngā wāhi e nui rawa nei ōku kōhure mo te oranga. Ka whakahekehia e ahau ētahi o aua mea, ka arahina e te ngākau māmā.
The people suffer from famine because of the multitude of taxes consumed by their superiors. It is through this that they suffer famine. The people are difficult to govern because of the (excessive) agency of their superiors (in governing them). Thus it is that to leave the subject of living altogether out of view is better than to set a high value on it.
