Te Wairangi kia Whakawhirinaki ki ngā Taonga
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He hīmene mā ngā tama a Koraha.
1Whakarongo ki tēnei, e ngā iwi katoa;tahuri mai ō koutou taringa, e ngā tāngata katoa o te ao.2E ngā tāngata iti, koutou ko ngā tāngata rahi,e te tangata taonga kōrua ko te rawakore.3Ka whakapuakina he mātauranga e tōku māngai;ā, he āta ngārahu te whakaaro o tōku ngākau.4Ka tītaha tōku taringa ki te kupu whakarite;ka puaki tāku pepeha i runga i te hāpa.5Kia wehi ahau ki te aha i ngā rā o te kino,ina karapotia ahau e te kino kei ōku rekereke?6Ko te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki ō rātou taonga,e whakamanamana ana ki te nui o ō rātou rawa.7E kore tētahi o rātou e āhei te hoko i tōna teina,te hoatu rānei i tētahi utu mōna ki te Atua.8He nui hoki te utu mō tō rātou wairua,ā, me whakarere atu ake ake;9kia ora tonu ai ia ake ake,kia kaua e kite i te pirau.10E kite ana hoki ia e matemate ana ngā tāngata whakaaro nui,e ngaro ngātahi ana te pōauau me te whakaarokore,ā, mahue iho ō rātou taonga ki ētahi atu.11Ki tō rātou whakaaro puku, tērā e pūmau tonu ō rātou whare me ō rātou nohoanga,ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa;huaina iho ō rātou whenua ki ō rātou ingoa.12Heoi, kāhore te tangata e noho tonu i roto i te hōnore;ko tōna rite kei ngā kararehe ka mōtī nei.13Ko tō rātou ara tēnei, arā ko tō rātou pōauau;heoi e whakapai ana tō rātou uri ki ā rātou kōrero. Hera14Kei te hipi te rite; ko te wāhi mō rātou ko te rēinga;ko te mate hei hēpara mō rātou,hei rangatira anō te hunga tika mō rātou i te ata;ko tō rātou ātaahua mā te rēinga e whakamōtī,kia kore ai he whare mōna.15Mā te Atua ia tōku wairua e hoko mai i te rēinga;ko ia hoki hei tukunga atu mōku. Hera16Kaua e wehi ua whai taonga te tangata,ina nui haere te korōria o tōna whare.17Kāhore hoki āna mea e mau atu ai ia ina mate;e kore tōna korōria e tuku iho i muri i a ia.18Whakapai noa ia i tōna wairua i a ia e ora ana;ā, ka whakamoemititia koe ua pai āu mahi ki a koe anō.19Ka haere ia ki te whakatupuranga o ōna tūpuna;e kore rawa rātou e kite i te mārama.20Ko te tangata e whakahōnoretia ana, ā, kāhore e whai whakaaro,kei ngā kararehe ka mōtī nei tōna rite.
