Whakatauki19
1He pai kē te rawakore e haere ana i runga i tōna tapatahi,i te ngutu whanokē, i te whakaarokore.2Nā, ehara hoki i te mea pai kia kaua he mātauranga mō te wairua;ā, ko te tangata e hohoro ana ōna waewae, ka hara.3E whakaparoritia ana te ara o te tangata e tōna wairangi;e amuamu ana hoki tōna ngākau ki a Ihowā.4Mā te rawa ka tokomaha atu ai ngā hoa aroha;e wehea atu ana ia, te rawakore i tōna hoa aroha.5E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia;e kore hoki e mawhiti te tangata kōrero teka.6He tokomaha e whai kia manakohia e te tangata ringa mahora;he hoa aroha hoki ngā tāngata katoa nō te tangata e hōmai mea ana.7E kino ana ngā tēina katoa o te rawakore ki a ia;nā, nui kē atu te mataratanga atu o ōna hoa i a ia!Whai noa āna kupu i a rātou,heoi kua riro rātou.8Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te whakaaro nui mōna, e aroha ana ki tōna wairua ake;ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te mātauranga, ka tūtaki ki te pai.9E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia;ka hunā hoki te tangata kōrero teka.10E kore e tau te noho rangatira ki te whakaarokore;he makere rawa te noho ko te pononga hei rangatira mō ngā rangatira.11Ko te ngārahu tūpato ka pupuri i tōna riri;ā, hei whakakorōria mōna te whakarere noa iho i te hē.12Ko te riri o te kīngi rite tonu ki te hāmama o te raiona;ko tana manako ia ānō he tōmairangi i runga i te tarutaru.13He aituā mō tōna pāpā te tamaiti whakaarokore;ā, ko ngā ngangare a te wahine, me te māturuturu pūputu tonu.14He whare, he taonga i tuku iho i ngā mātua;ko te hoa wahine mahara i a Ihowā.15Mā te māngere e mea kia moe i te moe reka;ka matekai hoki te wairua o te rōrā.16Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te whakahau e pupuri ana i tōna wairua;engari, ko te tangata kore whakaaro ki ōna ara ka mate.17Ko te tangata e ohaoha ana ki te rawakore e whakatārewa moni ana ki a Ihowā,ā, ka utua ki a ia tāna mahi atawhai.18Pākia tāu tama, i te mea kua whai manakohanga;kaua hoki tōu ngākau e whai tonu i te whakangaromanga mōna.19Ko te tangata riri nui māna e waha tōna hē;ki te whakaora hoki koe i a ia, ka waiho tonu tēnā hei mahi māu.20Whakarongo ki te kupu tohutohu, tahuri mai hoki ki te ako,kia whai whakaaro ai koe i tōu mutunga iho.21He maha ngā whakaaro i roto i te ngākau o te tangata;e tū tonu ana ia tā Ihowā tikanga.22Ko te hiahia o te tangata te aronga o tana atawhai;engari te rawakore i te tangata teka.23Ko te wehi ki a Ihowā te ara ki te ora;ā, ko te tangata kei a ia tērā, ka noho mākona;e kore tētahi hē e pā ki a ia.24E kuhua ana e te māngere tōna ringa ki te rīhi,e kore rawa nei e whakahokia e ia ki tōna māngai.25Pākia te tangata whakahī, ā, ka tūpato ngā kūware;ākona hoki te tangata mahara, ā, ka mōhio ia ki te mātauranga.26Ko te tangata e pāhua ana i tōna pāpā, e pei atu ana hoki i tōna whaea,he tama ia e whakamā ai, e ingoa kino ai hoki.27Kāti, e tāku tama, te whakarongo ki te akohei mea kau e kotiti atu ai i ngā kupu o te mātauranga.28E whakahī ana te kaiwhakaatu hē ki te whakawā;e horomia ana hoki te kino e te māngai o te hunga kino.29Kua rite he whakawā mō ngā whakahī,he whiu mō te tuarā o ngā whakaarokore.
