Whakatauki 3 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

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 tamaiti

e 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.
