Whakatauki14
1Ko tā te wahine whakaaro nui he hanga i tōna whare;ko tā te wahine wairangi, ko ōna ringa hei wāhi iho.2Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i tōna tika, e wehi ana i a Ihowā;ko te tangata he parori kē ōna ara e whakahāwea ana ki a ia.3Kei te māngai o te wairangi he patu whakapehapeha;mā ngā ngutu ia o te hunga whakaaro nui rātou ka ora ai.4Ki te kāhore he kau, ka mā te takotoranga kai;mā te kaha ia o te kau ka nui ai ngā hua.5E kore te kaiwhakaatu pono e teka;ka puaki ia te teka i te kaiwhakaatu teka.6E rapu ana te tangata whakahī i te whakaaro nui, heoi kāhore e kitea e ia;ki te tangata mātau ia he māmā noa te mātauranga.7Haere atu ki te aroaro o te kūware,ina kāhore e kitea e koe he ngutu mātau ōna.8Ko te whakaaro nui o te tangata tūpato, he mātau ki tōna ara;ko te wairangi o ngā kūware, he tinihanga.9Ko tā ngā wairangi he kata ki te hē;nā, kei te hunga tika te whakaaro pai.10E mōhio ana te ngākau ki tōna ake mamae,e kore anō hoki tōna koa e pikitia e te tangata kē.11Ka whakangaromia te whare o te hunga kino;ka tupu ia te tēneti o te hunga tika.12He huarahi anō tērā e tika ana ki tā te tangata titiro,ko tōna mutunga ia ko ngā huarahi ki te mate.13Ahakoa e kata ana, e mamae ana te ngākau;ā, ko te mutunga o te koa, he pōuri.14Ko te tangata i te ngākau tahuri kē, ka mākona i ōna ara ake;ā, ko te tangata pai ka mākona i tāna ake anō.15Ko tā te kūware he whakapono ki ngā kupu katoa;tēnā ko te tangata tūpato, ka āta titiro ki tāna hīkoi.16E wehi ana te tangata whakaaro nui, ka neke atu i te kino;ko te kūware ia ka whakahī, ka tohe.17Ko te tangata riri wawe ka mahi i te wairangi;ka kinongia anō hoki te tangata i ngā rauhanga kino.18He wairangi te whakarerenga iho mō ngā kūware;ko te tangata tūpato ia ka karaunatia ki te mātauranga.19E piko ana te hunga kino ki te aroaro o te hunga pai;ā, ko te hunga hē ki ngā kūwaha o te tangata tika.20E kinongia ana te rawakore e tōna hoa ake nei anō;he tokomaha ia ngā tāngata e aroha ana ki te tangata taonga.21Ko te tangata e whakahāwea ana ki tōna hoa, e hara ana;ko te tangata ia e atawhai ana ki ngā rawakore, ka hari.22He teka ianei e kotiti kē ana ngā kaiwhakatakoto i te kino?He atawhai ia, he pono, kei ngā kaihanga i te pai.23He hua tō ngā māuiuitanga katoa;tēnā ko te kōrero o ngā ngutu e ahu ana ki te rawakore.24Hei karauna mō ngā whakaaro nui ō rātou taonga;ko te wairangi ia o ngā kūware, he wairangi kau.25Ka ora ngā wairua i te kaiwhakaatu pono;ko te tangata kōrero teka ia e mea ana kia tinihanga.26Ū tonu, kaha tonu te whakaaro ina wehi ki a Ihowā;ka whai rerenga atu anō hoki āna tamariki.27He puna ora te wehi ki a Ihowā,e mahue ai ngā reti o te mate.28Mā te nui o te iwi ka whai hōnore ai te kīngi;mā te kore o te iwi ka taka ai te rangatira.29He mātauranga nui tō te tangata manawanui;ko te tangata riri wawe ia, e whakaneke ake ana ia i te wairangi.30He ora ki ngā kikokiko te ngākau ora;ko te hae ia, he pirau ki ngā wheua.31Ko te tangata e tūkino ana i te ware, he tāwai tāna ki tōna Kaihanga;ko te tangata ia e atawhai ana i te rawakore, e whakahōnore ana i a ia.32E uakina iho ana te tangata kino i runga i tōna hē;ko te tangata tika ia ka whai tūmanakohanga i tōna matenga.33Ka noho te whakaaro nui ki te ngākau o te tangata mātau;engari ko te mea kei te wāhi ki roto o ngā kūware e whakaaturia ana.34Mā te tika ka kake ai te iwi;mā te hara ia ka ingoa kino ai ngā iwi.35Ka manako te kīngi ki te pononga mahara;ā, ka riri ki te tangata i takea ai te whakamā.
