Hōhea me te Wahine Pūremu
1 I mea anō a Ihowā ki ahau, “Tēnā anō haere, arohaina tētahi wahine e arohaina ana e te tangata, he wahine pūremu; kia rite ki te aroha o Ihowā ki ngā tama a Īharaira, ahakoa e anga atu ana ki ngā atua kē, ā, e matenui ana ki ngā keke karepe maroke.”
2 Nā, hokona ana ia e ahau māku ki ngā pīhi hiriwa kotahi tekau mā rima ki te homa pārei, me te hāwhe homa pārei. 3 Ā, ka kī atu ki a ia, “Kia maha ngā rā e noho ai koe he mea taumau māku; kaua e kairau, kaua anō e riro i te tangata; ka pēnā anō ahau ki a koe.”
4 He maha hoki ngā rā e noho ai ngā tama a Īharaira, kāhore he kīngi, kāhore he rangatira, kāhore he patunga tapu, kāhore hoki he pou, kāhore he epora, kāhore he terapimi. 5 Muri iho ka hoki mai ngā tama a Īharaira, ka rapu i a Ihowā, i tō rātou Atua, i a Rāwiri anō, i tō rātou kīngi. Ka haere mai i runga i te wehi ki a Ihowā, ki tōna pai anō i ngā rā whakamutunga.
