Proverbs 19

Maori (Paipera Tapu 2012)

← Chapter 18 Jump to: Chapter 20 →

1He pai kē te rawakore e haere ana i runga i tōna tapatahi, i te ngutu whanokē, i te whakaarokore.

2Nā, ehara hoki i te mea pai kia kaua he mātauranga mō te wairua; ā, ko te tangata e hohoro ana ōna waewae, ka hara.

3E whakaparoritia ana te ara o te tangata e tōna wairangi; e amuamu ana hoki tōna ngākau ki a Ihowā.

4Mā te rawa ka tokomaha atu ai ngā hoa aroha; e wehea atu ana ia, te rawakore i tōna hoa aroha.

5E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia; e kore hoki e mawhiti te tangata kōrero teka.

6He tokomaha e whai kia manakohia e te tangata ringa mahora; he hoa aroha hoki ngā tāngata katoa nō te tangata e hōmai mea ana.

7E kino ana ngā tēina katoa o te rawakore ki a ia; nā, nui kē atu te mataratanga atu o ōna hoa i a ia! Whai noa āna kupu i a rātou, heoi kua riro rātou.

8Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te whakaaro nui mōna, e aroha ana ki tōna wairua ake; ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te mātauranga, ka tūtaki ki te pai.

9E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia; ka hunā hoki te tangata kōrero teka.

10E kore e tau te noho rangatira ki te whakaarokore; he makere rawa te noho ko te pononga hei rangatira mō ngā rangatira.

11Ko te ngārahu tūpato ka pupuri i tōna riri; ā, hei whakakorōria mōna te whakarere noa iho i te hē.

12Ko te riri o te kīngi rite tonu ki te hāmama o te raiona; ko tana manako ia ānō he tōmairangi i runga i te tarutaru.

13He aituā mō tōna pāpā te tamaiti whakaarokore; ā, ko ngā ngangare a te wahine, me te māturuturu pūputu tonu.

14He whare, he taonga i tuku iho i ngā mātua; ko te hoa wahine mahara i a Ihowā.

15Mā te māngere e mea kia moe i te moe reka; ka matekai hoki te wairua o te rōrā.

16Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te whakahau e pupuri ana i tōna wairua; engari, ko te tangata kore whakaaro ki ōna ara ka mate.

17Ko te tangata e ohaoha ana ki te rawakore e whakatārewa moni ana ki a Ihowā, ā, ka utua ki a ia tāna mahi atawhai.

18Pākia tāu tama, i te mea kua whai manakohanga; kaua hoki tōu ngākau e whai tonu i te whakangaromanga mōna.

19Ko te tangata riri nui māna e waha tōna hē; ki te whakaora hoki koe i a ia, ka waiho tonu tēnā hei mahi māu.

20Whakarongo ki te kupu tohutohu, tahuri mai hoki ki te ako, kia whai whakaaro ai koe i tōu mutunga iho.

21He maha ngā whakaaro i roto i te ngākau o te tangata; e tū tonu ana ia tā Ihowā tikanga.

22Ko te hiahia o te tangata te aronga o tana atawhai; engari te rawakore i te tangata teka.

23Ko te wehi ki a Ihowā te ara ki te ora; ā, ko te tangata kei a ia tērā, ka noho mākona; e kore tētahi hē e pā ki a ia.

24E kuhua ana e te māngere tōna ringa ki te rīhi, e kore rawa nei e whakahokia e ia ki tōna māngai.

25Pākia te tangata whakahī, ā, ka tūpato ngā kūware; ākona hoki te tangata mahara, ā, ka mōhio ia ki te mātauranga.

26Ko te tangata e pāhua ana i tōna pāpā, e pei atu ana hoki i tōna whaea, he tama ia e whakamā ai, e ingoa kino ai hoki.

27Kāti, e tāku tama, te whakarongo ki te ako hei mea kau e kotiti atu ai i ngā kupu o te mātauranga.

28E whakahī ana te kaiwhakaatu hē ki te whakawā; e horomia ana hoki te kino e te māngai o te hunga kino.

29Kua rite he whakawā mō ngā whakahī, he whiu mō te tuarā o ngā whakaarokore.
