E Kitea ana ki hea te Whakaaronui?

¹“He rua hoki tō te hiriwa e puta mai ai,he wāhi anō tō te kōura e whakarewaina ai.²He mea tango mai te rino nō roto i te whenua;nō te kāmaka te parāhi, he mea whakarewa.³E whakatakotoria ana e te tangata he mutunga mai mō te pōuri,e rapua ana e ia ki te tino tutukitanga atu ngā kōhatu o te pōuri,o te ātārangi o te mate.⁴E pākaruhia mai ana e ia he rua i kō ake o ngā nohoanga tāngata;kua wareware rātou i te waewae e haere ana;he tawhiti i te tangata tō rātou tārenga, e piu atu ana, e piu ana mai.⁵Ko te whenua, e puta mai ana he taro i roto i a ia:ā, e hurihia ake ana a raro iho ānō he ahi.⁶Hei wāhi mō ngā hāpira ōna kōhatu,he puehu kōura anō tōna.

⁷“He ara tēnā kāhore i mōhiotia e te manu,kīanō i kitea e te kanohi o te whatura.⁸Kāhore ngā kīrehe whakahī kia takahi i taua ara,kāhore hoki a reira kia haerea e te raiona tutū.

⁹“E pā atu ana tōna ringa ki te kiripaka;hurihia ake e ia ngā take o ngā maunga.¹⁰E tapahia ana e ia he awa i roto i ngā kāmaka,ā, e kite ana tōna kanohi i ngā mea utu nui katoa.¹¹E herea ana e ia ngā awa kei māturuturu;e whakaputa mai ana hoki i ngā mea ngaro ki te mārama.

¹²“E kitea ia ki hea te whakaaro nui,kei hea hoki te wāhi o te mōhio?¹³E kore te tangata e mōhio ki tōna utu,e kore anō taua hanga e kitea ki te whenua o te ora.¹⁴E kī ake ana te rire, ‘Kāhore i ahau,’e kī mai ana hoki te moana, ‘Kāhore i ahau.’¹⁵E kore e hokona ki te kōura,e kore anō hoki e taea te pāuna te hiriwa hei utu mōna.¹⁶E kore e taea te whakarite ki te kōura o Ōpira,ki te onika utu nui, ki te hāpira.¹⁷E kore e rite te kōura, te kōhatu pīata ki a ia;e kore e hokona ki ngā oko kōura parakore.¹⁸E kore e whakahuatia te kaoa, ngā peara rānei;hira ake hoki te utu o te whakaaro nui i tō te rupi.¹⁹E kore te tōpaha o Etiopia e rite ki a ia,e kore e tau te kōura parakore hei utu.

²⁰“Ka haere mai rā i hea te whakaaro nui?Kei hea te wāhi o te mātau?²¹He mea huna atu nā hoki i ngā kanohi o ngā mea ora katoa,ngaro rawa i ngā manu o te rangi.²²E kī ake ana te whakangaromanga rāua ko te mate,‘I hakiri ō māua taringa ki tōna rongo.’

²³“E mōhio ana te Atua ki tōna ara,kua kite anō ia i tōna wāhi.²⁴E titiro ana hoki ia ki ngā pito o te whenua,e kite ana ia i ngā mea i raro i te rangi, ā puta noa.²⁵E mea ana i te whakataimaha mō te hau;āe, e mēhua ana ia i ngā wai ki te mēhua.²⁶I a ia e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga mō te ua,i te huarahi mō te uira o te whatitiri,²⁷ka kitea e ia i reira, ā, whakapuakina mai ana;i whakaūkia e ia, ā, āta rapua ana e ia.²⁸Ā, ka mea ia ki te tangata,‘Nā, ko te wehi ki te Ariki, ko te whakaaro nui tēnā;ā, ko te mawehe atu i te kino, koia te mātauranga.’ ”
