I TE marama tuarua o te tau nei e rere

ana he tima, ko Kueta te ingoa, i

Kukataone ki Ranana, he utanga taonga,

290 nga tangata eke. I pakarua whakareretia

te kaipuke ki te kohatu huna, a ngaro tonu

iho atu te tima me te nuinga o nga tangata

nga wahine o te kapine i nga ra, ko te

mau tonu nga mahi me nga tikanga o aua

tangata me nga wahine, pera tonu me-to te
