Na Ihu tenei kōrero:
Jesus told this story:
“He tokorua ngā tama a tētahi kaipaamu.
"A farmer had two sons.
i noho i mahi rāua
They lived and worked
i te pāmu a to rāua mātua.
on their dad's farm.
A te wa ka mate rawa atu tō rāua mātua
Some day, when their dad died,
ka orite tā rāua wahanga o ana rawa katoa.
they would share all the money he had.

Tētahi rā i mea atu te teina
One day the youngest boy said,
“E pā hōmai ki ahau tāku wāhanga o aū rawa. "Dad give me my share of your money. Tērā kei roa pea
It might be a long time kia mate rawa atu koe.
until you die.
Hiahia au kia kitea te Ao whānui I want to see the world
hei mahi whakangahau ināia tonu nei.”
and have a good time, now."
