Me Whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā

¹E tāku tama, kei wareware ki tāku ture;kia puritia hoki āku whakahau e tōu ngākau.²Kātahi ka nui ake ngā rā roa mōu,ngā tau e ora ai, me te āta noho.

³Kei whakarērea koe e te atawhai, e te pono;heia ki tōu kakī;tuhituhia iho ko tōu ngākau ānō hei papa.⁴Pēnei ka whiwhi koe ki te atawhai,ki te mātauranga pai i te aroaro o te Atua, o te tangata.

⁵Whakapaua tōu ngākau ki te whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowā,kaua hoki e okioki ki tōu mātauranga ake.⁶I ōu ara katoa whakaaro ki a ia,ā, māna e whakatika ōu huarahi.⁷Kei whakaaro ki a koe he mōhio koe;e wehi ki a Ihowā, kia mawehe i te kino;⁸hei ora tēnā ki tōu pito,hei mākūkū ki ōu wheua.

⁹Kia whai korōria a Ihowā i ōu rawa,i ngā mātāmua anō hoki o āu hua katoa;¹⁰ā, ka kī āu toa i ngā mea maha,ka pakaru anō hoki āu rua wāina i te wāina.

¹¹E tāku tama, kaua e whakahāwea ki tā Ihowā papaki;kei ngākaukore anō koe ina ākona e ia.¹²Ka ākona hoki e Ihowā tāna e aroha ai,ka pērā tāna me tā te matua ki te tamaitie matenuitia ana e ia.

Te Rahinga Tūturu

¹³Ka hari te tangata kua kitea nei e ia te whakaaro nui,me te tangata anō kua whiwhi ki te mātauranga,¹⁴pai atu hoki te hokohoko o tērā i tō te hiriwa e hokohokona nei,ōna hua i te kōura parakore.¹⁵Nui atu ōna utu i o ngā rupi;e kore anō hoki ngā mea katoa e minaminatia e koe e rite ki a ia.¹⁶Kei tōna ringa matau ngā rā roa;kei tōna mauī ngā taonga me te korōria.¹⁷Ko ōna ara he ara āhuareka,ko ōna ara katoa he rangimārie.¹⁸He rākau ia nō te ora ki te hunga e ū ana ki a ia;ka hari te tangata e pupuri ana i a ia.

Te Pūtakenga Tapu o te Whakaaronui

¹⁹Nā te whakaaro nui o Ihowā i whakatūria ai e ia te whenua;nā tōna mōhio tāna whakapūmautanga i ngā rangi.²⁰He mōhio nōna i pakaru ai ngā rire,i māturuturu ai te tōmairangi o ngā kapua.

Te Maru Tūturu

²¹E tāku tama, kei kotiti kē ēnā i ōu kanohi:puritia te whakaaro nui me te ngārahu pai,²²kei ēnā he oranga mō tōu wairua,he whakapaipai mō tōu kakī.²³Pēnei ka haere koe i tōu ara, tē ai he wehi,e kore anō tōu waewae e tūtuki.²⁴Ka takoto koe, e kore e wehi,inā, ka takoto koe, ka reka anō tāu moe.²⁵Kaua e wehi i te mataku huaki tata,i te whakangaromanga rānei o te hunga kino ina pā mai.²⁶Ko Ihowā hoki hei okiokinga mōu,ā, māna e tiaki tōu waewae kei mau.

²⁷Kaua e kaiponuhia te pai ki te hunga i tika nei mā rātou,i ngā wā e taea ai e tōu ringa.²⁸Kaua e mea ki tōu hoa, “Haere, ka hoki mai ai,ā, āpōpō ka hoatu e ahau,”i te mea kei a koe anō te mea e takoto ana.²⁹Kei whakatakoto i te kino mō tōu hoa,kei te noho hū noa nā hoki ia i tōu taha.³⁰Kei ngangau pokanoa ki te tangata,ki te mea kāhore āna mahi kino ki a koe.³¹Kei hae ki te tangata nanakia,kaua hoki e whiriwhiria tētahi o ōna ara.³²He mea whakarihariha hoki te whanokē ki a Ihowā;kei te hunga tika ia tōna whakaaro ngaro.³³He kanga nā Ihowā kei roto i te whare o te tangata kino,he mea manaaki ia nāna te nohoanga o te hunga tika.³⁴He pono ka whakahī ia ki te hunga whakahī,ka puta ia tōna atawhai ki te hunga whakaiti.³⁵Ka whiwhi te hunga whakaaro nui ki te korōria;he whakamā ia te whakanui o ngā wairangi.
