He Whakatūpato Anō
1 E tāku tama, ki te mea ko tāu hei whakakapi mō tā tōu hoa,
ki te mea kua papaki tōu ringa mō te tangata kē,
2 kua oti koe te māhanga e ngā kupu a tōu māngai,
kua mau koe i ngā kupu a tōu māngai.
3 Meinga tēnei ināianei, e tāku tama, kia ora ai koe,
he mea hoki kua taka koe ki roto ki te ringa o tōu hoa:
haere, whakaiti i a koe, ā, ka tohe ki tōu hoa.
4 Kei tukua iho te moe ki ōu kanohi;
kei tunewha ōu kamo.
5 Whakaora i a koe ānō he anaterope i roto i te ringa o te kaiwhai,
ānō he manu i roto i te ringa o te kaihopu.
6 Haere ki te pōpokorua, e te tangata māngere,
mātakitakina iho ōna ara, kia nui ai ōu whakaaro.
7 Kāhore nei ōna kaitohutohu,
ōna kaitirotiro, ōna rangatira,
8 heoi, e mahi kai ana māna i te raumati,
e kohikohi ana i te kai māna i te kotinga wīti.
9 Kia pēhea ake te roa o tāu takoto, e te tangata māngere?
Āhea koe maranga ai i tāu moe?
10 Kia iti ake nei te wāhi e parangia ai, kia iti ake nei te moe,
kia iti ake te kōtuinga o ngā ringa i a koe e takoto nā;
11 nā, ka rite ki te kaipāhua te putanga mai o te mūhore ki a koe,
tōu rawakore, ānō he tangata he patu nei tāna.
12 Ko te tangata kāhore ōna painga, ko te tangata hara,
e hāereere ana me te māngai tū kē;
13 e whakakini ana ōna kanohi, e kōrero ana ōna waewae,
e tuhi ana ōna maihao;
14 kei roto te whanokē i tōna ngākau,
e whakatakoto ana ia i te kino i ngā wā katoa;
e rui ana ia i te ngangare.
15 Mō reira ka huaki tata te aituā ki a ia;
e kore e aha ka whatia ia, tē taea te rongoā.
16 E ono ngā mea e kino ana ki a Ihowā;
āe rā, e whitu ngā mea e whakariharihangia ana e ia:
17 ko te kanohi whakakake, ko te arero teka,
ko ngā ringa whakaheke i te toto harakore,
18 he ngākau e whakatakoto ana i ngā whakaaro kikino,
he waewae e hohoro ana te rere ki te hīanga,
19 he kaiwhakaatu teka e kōrero teka ana,
ko te tangata hoki e rui ana i te ngangare
ki waenganui i ngā tuākana, i ngā tēina.
20 E tāku tama, puritia te whakahau a tōu pāpā,
kaua hoki e whakarērea te ture a tōu whaea.
21 Kia mau tonu te tākai ki tōu ngākau,
heia ki tōu kakī.
22 Ko tōu kaiārahi anō tērā ina haere koe;
māna koe e tiaki ina takoto koe;
ka kōrero mai anō ki a koe, ina ara koe.
23 He rama hoki te whakahau, ā, he mārama te ture;
ko ngā riringa hoki, e whakaako ana, he ara ki te ora.
24 Hei tiaki i a koe kei hē i te wahine kino,
i te whakapati a te arero o te wahine kē.
25 Kei hiahia koe ki tōna ātaahua i roto i tōu ngākau;
kei mau anō koe i ōna kamo.
26 Ko te tukunga iho o te tangata he wāhi taro, he mea mō te wahine kairau;
ko tā te wahine pūremu e whai ana ko te wairua utu nui.
27 E taea rānei e te tangata te tango i te ahi ki roto ki tōna uma,
ā, e kore ōna kākahu e wera?
28 E taea rānei e tētahi te haere i runga i ngā waro ratarata,
ā, e kore ōna waewae e hunua?
29 Ka pērā anō te tangata e haere ana ki te wahine a tōna hoa;
e kore e kore ka whiua te tangata e pā ana ki a ia.
30 E kore e whakahāweatia e te tangata te tāhae,
ki te tāhaetia e ia he mea e mākona ai tōna wairua ina hiakai ia.
31 Otiia ki te kitea ia, kia takiwhitu āna e whakautu ai;
me hōmai e ia ngā rawa katoa o tōna whare.
32 Ko te tangata e pūremu ana ki te wahine, kāhore ōna mōhio;
ko te tangata e pērā ana, kei te whakangaro ia i tōna wairua.
33 He kaiākiko, he whakamā te wāhi mōna;
e kore anō tōna ingoa kino e horoia atu.
34 He riri nui hoki nā te tangata te hae;
e kore anō e tohungia e ia i te rā rapu utu.
35 E kore ia e manako ki tētahi utu;
e kore hoki e tatū tōna ngākau, ahakoa he nui āu hākari e tāpae ai.
