Whakatauki 5 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

He Whakatūpato kei Pūremu

1E tāku tama, tahuri ki ōku whakaaro nui;

kia anga tōu taringa ki tōku mātauranga,

2kia ū ai koe ki te ngārahu pai,

mau ai te mātauranga i ōu ngutu.

3Ko ngā ngutu hoki o te wahine kē, kei te māturuturunga iho o te honikoma,

ngāwari iho tōna māngai i te hinu;

4he kawa rawa hoki tōna mutunga i te taru kawa,

he koi, ānō he hoari matarua.

5Ko ōna waewae e heke ana ki te mate;

mau pū te rēinga i ōna takahanga.

6Heoi, kāhore i kitea e ia te ara tōtika ki te ora;

he kotiti kē ōna ara, ā, kāhore ia i tē mātau.

7Nā reira, e āku tamariki, whakarongo mai ki ahau,

kei mahue hoki ngā kupu a tōku māngai.

8Kia matara tōu ara i a ia,

kaua hoki e tata ki te tatau o tōna whare;

9kei hoatu tōu hōnore ki ngā tāngata kē,

ōu tau ki te hunga nanakia.

10Kei mākona ngā tāngata kē i tōu kaha,

kei riro ōu māuiui ki te whare o te tangata kē;

11ā, ka tangi koe i tōu whakamutunga,

ina poto ōu kikokiko me tōu tinana,

12ā, ka mea, “Kātae tōku kino ki te ako;

kātae te māuiui o tōku ngākau ki te tohutohu!

13Kīhai hoki ahau i whakarongo ki te reo o ōku kaiwhakaako,

kīhai tōku taringa i anga ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i ahau.

14Wāhi iti kei ngā kino katoa ahau

i waenganui o te whakaminenga, o te huihui.”

15Inumia he wai i roto i tāu ake rua,

me ngā wai rere anō i roto i tāu ake poka.

16Kia tohatoha noa atu koia āu puna wai,

ngā awa wai i ngā huarahi?

17Waiho ēnā māu anake,

kauaka mā koutou tahi ko ngā tāngata kē.

18Kia manaakitia tāu puna wai;

kia koa anō koe ki te wahine o tōu taitamarikitanga.

19Kia rite ia ki taua mea āhuareka, ki te hāta,

ki te mea ātaahua ki te anaterope.

Kia mākona koe i ōna ū i ngā wā katoa,

kia matenuitia tonutia e koe tōna aroha.

20He aha oti koe, e tāku tama, ka matenui ai ki te wahine kē,

i awhi ai i te uma o te wahine kē?

21Kei mua hoki i ngā kanohi o Ihowā ngā ara o te tangata,

ā, e meinga ana e ia kia papatairite ōna ara katoa.

22Ko ōna kino anō hei hopu i te tangata kino,

hei taura ōna hara e mau ai ia.

23Ka mate ia, he mea kīhai i whakaakona,

ka pōhēhē i te nui o tōna wairangi.
