Whakatauki11
1He mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowā te pāuna hē;engari te taimaha tika tāna i pai ai.2Ka tae te whakapehapeha, ka tae anō te whakamā;kei te hunga whakaiti ia te whakaaro nui.3Ko tō rātou ngākau tapatahi hei ārahi i te hunga tika;ka ai anō ko te whanokē ia o te hunga poka kē hei whakangaro mō rātou.4E kore te taonga e whai mana i te rā o te riri;kei te tika ia he oranga ake i te mate.5Mā te tika o te ngākau tapatahi ka tika ai tōna ara;ka hinga ia te tangata kino i runga i tōna kino.6Mā te tika o te hunga tika ka mawhiti ai rātou;ka mau ia ngā poka kē i runga i tō rātou kino.7I te matenga o te tangata kino, kore iho āna mea i tūmanako atu ai;kāhore noa iho he tūmanakohanga mā te hunga hē.8Ka mawhiti te tangata tika i roto i te raru,ā, ka riro te tangata kino hei whakakapi mō tōna tūranga.9Hei huna mō tōna hoa te māngai o te tangata whakapono kore;nā, mā te mōhio te hunga tika ka mawhiti ai.10Ka pai te hunga tika, ka hari te pā;ka whakangaromia te hunga kino, ka tangi te umere.11Mā te manaaki o te hunga tika ka kake ai te pā;ka pakaru ia i te māngai o te hunga kino.12Ko te tangata e whakahāwea ana ki tōna hoa he maharakore;tēnā ko te tangata mātau, whakarongo puku ana.13Ko te tangata haere, ka kawekawe kōrero e whāki ana i ngā mea ngaro;ko te tangata i te wairua pono, e hīpoki ana i te kōrero.14Ki te kāhore he mōhio hei ārahi, ka hinga te iwi;he ora ia kei ngā kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro tokomaha.15Ko te tangata ko tāna nei hei whakakapi mō tā te tangata kē, ka mamae;kei te ora ia te tangata e kino ana ki te tikanga whakakapi tūranga.16Ka mau te korōria i te wahine tikanga pai;ka mau hoki te taonga i ngā tāngata taikaha.17He atawhai i tōna wairua tā te tangata atawhai;ā, he whakararu i ōna kikokiko tā te tangata nanakia.18Ko te mahi a te tangata kino e utua ana ki te teka;ko te utu ia mō te kaiwhakatakoto i te tika, ū rawa.19Ko te tangata ū ki te tika, ka whiwhi ki te ora;ā, ko te tangata e whai ana i te kino e mea ana i te mate mōna.20Ko tā Ihowā e whakarihariha ai he ngākau whanokē;ko tāna e āhuareka ai ko te hunga e tika ana tō rātou ara.21Ahakoa awhi ngā ringa ki a rāua,e kore te tangata kino e waiho kia kore e whiua;ka mawhiti ia te uri o te hunga tika.22Rite tonu ki te whakakai kōura i te ihu o te poakate wahine ātaahua kāhore nei ōna ngārahu pai.23Ko tā te hunga tika e minamina ai, ko te pai anake;ko te tūmanako ia a te hunga kino, ko te riri.24Tērā tētahi kei te rui, ā, tāpiritia mai ana anō;tērā tētahi kei te kaiponu i te mea e tika ana,heoi rawakore noa iho.25Ko te wairua ohaoha ka mōmona;ko te tangata e whakamākūkū ana, ka whakamākūkūria anō ia.26Ko te tangata e kaiponu ana i te wīti, ka kangā tērā e te nuinga;ka tau ia te manaaki ki runga ki te māhunga o te tangata e hoko atu ana.27Ko te tangata e āta rapu ana i te pai, e rapu ana i te whakapai;ko te tangata ia e rapu ana i te hē, ka tae tērā ki a ia.28Ko te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki ōna taonga, ka taka;nā, ko te hunga tika ka rite tō rātou tupu ki tō te rau matomato.29Ko te tangata e whakararu ana i tōna whare, he hau te taonga e whakarērea iho mōna;hei pononga anō te kūware mā te ngākau whakaaro nui.30Ko ngā hua o te tangata tika he rākau nō te ora;ka hopu wairua anō te tangata whakaaro tika.31Nanā, he utu anō tō te tangata tika i runga i te whenua;nui atu ia tō te tangata kino rāua ko te tangata hara.
