| Chapter 29 |
1 |
¶ Ko te tangata he maha nei nga riringa i tona he, a ka whakapakeke i tona kaki, ka whatiia ohoreretia ia; te taea te rongoa. -
|
2 |
¶ Ka whakanuia te hunga tika, ka koa te iwi; ka kingi te tangata kino, ka aue te iwi. -
|
3 |
¶ Ko te tangata e matenui ana ki te whakaaro nui e whakahari ana i tona papa; ko te tangata ia e piri ana ki nga wahine kairau, he maumau taonga tana. -
|
4 |
¶ Ma te whakawa a te kingi e mau ai te whenua; ka whakataka ia e te tangata e tango ana i nga mea homai noa. -
|
5 |
¶ Ko te tangata e whakapati ana ki tona hoa, e whakatakoto kupenga ana mo ona waewae. -
|
6 |
¶ He rore kei roto i te he o te tangata kino; ko te tangata tika ia he waiata tana, he koa. -
|
7 |
¶ E mahara ana te tangata tika ki te take a te rawakore: kahore o te tangata kino whakaaro kia mohiotia e ia. -
|
8 |
¶ Ma nga tangata whakahi e tahu te pa kia mura: ko ta te hunga whakaaro nui ia he whakatahuri atu i te riri. -
|
9 |
¶ Ki te totohe te tangata whakaaro nui ki te tangata wairangi, ahakoa riri ia, kata ranei, kahore he tanga. -
|
10 |
¶ E mauahara ana te tangata whakaheke toto ki te tangata i te ngakau tapatahi: tena ko te hunga tika, ka whai ratou kia whakaorangia ia. -
|
11 |
¶ E tuakina ana e te wairangi tona riri katoa ki waho: e puritia mai ana ia e te tangata whakaaro nui, e pehia ana. -
|
12 |
¶ Ki te whakarongo te rangatira ki te teka, he kino katoa ana tangata. -
|
13 |
¶ E tutaki ana te rawakore raua ko te kaitukino ki a raua; ko Ihowa te kaiwhakamarama o nga kanohi o raua tokorua. -
|
14 |
¶ Ko te kingi e pono ana tana whakawa mo nga rawakore, ka whakapumautia tona torona ake ake. -
|
15 |
¶ Ko te whiu, ko te riri i te he, he mea homai era i te whakaaro nui: tena ko te tamaiti mahue noa, ka whakama i a ia tona whaea. -
|
16 |
¶ Ka tokomaha te hunga kino, ka nui te he: ka kite ia te hunga tika i to ratou hinganga. -
|
17 |
¶ Pakia tau tama, a ka whai okiokinga koe i a ia; ae ra, he ahuareka tana e homai ai ki tou wairua. -
|
18 |
¶ Ki te kahore he whakakitenga, ka kore te iwi e tupato: ko te kaipupuri ia i te ture, ka hari ia. -
|
19 |
¶ Ehara te kupu i te papaki mo te pononga: ahakoa hoki ia matau, e kore ia e rongo. -
|
20 |
¶ Ka kite ranei koe i te tangata kaika ki te korero? engari te wairangi ka totika ake i a ia. -
|
21 |
¶ Ko te tangata e penapena ana i tana pononga mai o te tamarikitanga, ka waiho ia e ia i te mutunga hei tama tupu. -
|
22 |
¶ He whakaoho whawhai ta te tangata pukuriri: he nui rawa hoki te he o te tangata aritarite. -
|
23 |
¶ Ka whakaititia iho te tangata e tona whakapehapeha: ka whai honore ia te tangata ngakau papaku. -
|
24 |
¶ Ko te tangata e whakauru ana ki ta te tahae, e kino ana ki tona ake wairua: e rongo ana ia i te kanga, kahore e kiki. -
|
25 |
¶ He rore e homai ana e te wehi ki te tangata: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa ka mawhiti. -
|
26 |
¶ He tokomaha e whai ana kia paingia e te rangatira: otiia i ahu mai i a Ihowa te whakawa mo te tangata. -
|
27 |
¶ He mea whakarihariha ki te hunga tika te tangata whakahaere he; a he mea whakarihariha hoki ki te tangata kino te tangata he tika tona ara. -
