1Makā tāu taro ki te mata o ngā wai;
kia maha hoki ngā rā ka kitea anō e koe.
2Hoatu tētahi wāhi mā te tokowhitu, āe mā te tokowaru anō hoki;
e kore hoki koe e mōhio ko tēhea kino e puta mai ki te whenua.
3Ki te kī ngā kapua i te ua,
ka ringihia ki te whenua.
Ki te hinga hoki te rākau ki te tonga, ki te raki rānei,
ko te wāhi e hinga ai te rākau, ko reira anō ia takoto ai.
4Ko te tangata e whai mahara ana ki te hau, e kore e rui;
ko te tangata titiro kapua e kore e kokoti.
5Nā, ka kore anō koe e mōhio ki te huarahi o te hau,
ki te tupu rānei o ngā wheua i roto i te kōpū o te wahine hapū;
e kore anō hoki e mōhiotia e koe te mahi a te Atua,
a te kaimahi o ngā mea katoa.
6I te ata ruia tāu purapura,
ā, i te ahiahi kaua e pēpeke tōu ringa;
kāhore hoki koe e mōhio ko tēnei rānei e tika,
ko tērā rānei, ko rāua rānei e rua ka pai ngātahi.
Te Whanaketanga me te Pakeketanga7He pono he āhuareka te mārama,
ā, he mea pai ki ngā kanohi te titiro ki te rā.
8Āe rā, ki te maha ngā tau e ora ai te tangata,
kia hari ia ki aua tau katoa;
engari kia mahara ia ki ngā tau o te pōuri,
tērā hoki e maha.
Ko ngā mea e haere ake ana he horihori katoa.
9Kia koa, e te taitamariki, ki tōu taitamarikitanga;
kia whakahari anō hoki tōu ngākau i a koe i ngā rā o tōu taitamarikitanga.
Haere hoki i ngā ara o tōu ngākau,
i te tirohanga anō a ōu kanohi;
otiia kia mōhio anō koe,
he mea ēnei katoa e riro ai koe i te Atua ki te whakawā.
10Nō reira whakawāteatia atu te riri i tōu ngākau,
ā, whakanekehia atu te kino i tōu kikokiko;
he mea horihori nei hoki te taitamarikitanga, me te houkuratanga.
