Chapter 23
1 Ko Ihowā tōku hēpara; e kore ahau e hapa.
2 Ko ia hei mea kia takoto ahau ki ngā wāhi tarutaru hou; e ārahi ana ia i ahau ki te taha o ngā wai āta rere.
3 Ko ia hei whakahoki ake i tōku wairua; e ārahi ana ia i ahau i ngā ara o te tika, he whakaaro ki tōna ingoa.
4 Āe, ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa o te ātārangi o te mate, kāhore he kino e wehi ai ahau; nō te mea kei tōku taha koe; ko tāu rākau, ko tāu tokotoko, ko ēnā hei oranga ngākau mōku.
5 E takā ana e koe he tēpu ki tōku aroaro i te tirohanga a ōku hoariri, e whakawahia ana e koe tōku mātenga ki te hinu, pūrena tonu tāku kapu.
6 He pono e aru i ahau te pai me te atawhai i ngā rā katoa e ora ai ahau, ā, ka noho ahau ki te whare o Ihowā ake tonu atu.
