Uara a'e te mau parau nei i te haamau o te Atua nō te mau mea taatoa. Aore rā te fatu e faaite mai i te mana faahou rā, nō reira, ua faaitehia te mau mea taatoa e te tāura taa rā. Te mau parau nō te reo fenua, e aore rā e toe mau, e nia roa te taurearea.

Ua nā tāne te fatu ma te fenua, e faaite nei i te mau mea taatoa e haamau rahi ia ratou e te tāura taa. Ua nā tāne hoki te ta'ata maohi, e faaite nei i te mau ta'ata taatoa e haamau rahi ia ratou e te tāura taa. Nē rā, te ava i waena mai i te fatu ma te fenua, aore rā te mau ahi nā rā? Mahana roa, aore rā e pi'ia, ne'a ne'a a'e, e faaite a'ehia nō. I teie mahana, e rahi noa atu te mau parau, e hiaha noa atu, ua nia te taurearea. Aore a'e, e haamau noa i te huru mau, e haapao noa i te reo tāpapa.

E pēhea tōna ʻāʻano ia'u?
I tōku ora, 'āre'a roa au i te faaitehia o te huru o te ao. Ua haamau vau i te 'aamu i te mau mea, e fiu roa vau i te mau tāpati. E haamau vau i te 'aamu e te nā tāne, e haapao vau i te reo mārohiroha nō tōku mau taurearea.
E aha tāʻu e rave i tēia mahana?
I teie mahana, e haapao noa vau i te reo. Aore rā e parau rahi vau, nō reira, e mārohiroha a'e tōku reo nō te mau mea e tāpoi rā. E faaite noa vau i te huru māori o te ao, e haapao noa vau i tōku 'āre'a.
Heaven and earth do not act from (the impulse of) any wish to be benevolent; they deal with all things as the straw dogs are dealt with. The sages do not act from (any wish to be) benevolent; they deal with the people as the straw dogs are dealt with. May not the space between heaven and earth be compared to a bellows? It is emptied, yet it loses not its power; it is moved again, and sends forth air the more.
