Chapter 27
1 Kei whakamanamana koe ki te rā āpōpō; kāhore hoki koe e mōhio ko te aha e puta mai i roto i te rā.
2 Mā tētahi atu tangata te whakamoemiti mōu, kaua mā tōu māngai ake; mā te tangata kē, kaua mā ōu ngutu ake.
3 He taimaha te kōhatu, he taimaha anō te kirikiri; he taimaha atu ia i ā rāua tahi te pukuriri o te wairangi.
4 He mea nanakia te riri, he rūtaki te āritarita; ko wai ia e tū i mua i te hae?
5 He pai kē te riri matanui i te aroha huna.
6 Ko ngā patu a te hoa aroha he mea nā te pono; ko ngā kihi ia a te hoariri auau rawa.
7 E ngaruru ana te wairua mākona ki te honikoma; engari ki te wairua hiakai, reka kau ngā mea kawa katoa.
8 Rite tonu ki te manu e ātiutiu noa atu ana i tōna kōhanga te tangata e ātiutiu noa atu ana i tōna wāhi.
9 He whakahari ngākau te hinu me te whakakakara; he pērā anō ngā āhuareka o tō te tangata hoa aroha i ahu mai i ngā tikanga mateoha i whakatakotoria e tōna ngākau.
10 Ko tōu hoa aroha ake, ā, ko te hoa hoki o tōu pāpā, kaua e whakarērea; kaua hoki e haere ki te whare o tōu tuakana i te rā e mate ai koe. He pai kē hoki te hoa e tata ana i te tuakana i tawhiti.
11 E tāku tama, kia whakaaro nui, kia koa ai tōku ngākau, kia whakahoki kupu ai hoki ahau ki te hunga e tāwai ana ki ahau.
12 E kite atu ana te tangata tūpato i te hē, ā, ka huna i a ia; tēnā ko te kūware, haere tonu atu, mamae tonu atu.
13 Tangohia te kākahu o te kaiwhakakapi mō te tangata kē; tōna taunaha anō hoki mō tā te wahine kē.
14 Ko te tangata e maranga ana i te atatū, he nui hoki tōna reo ki te manaaki i tōna hoa, ka kīia tāna he kanga.
15 He māturuturu e pūputu tonu ana i te rā nui te ua, he wahine ngangare, rite tonu rāua;
16 ko te tangata e mea ana ki te pēhi i a ia, e mea ana ki te pēhi i te hau, ā, ka tūtaki tōna ringa matau ki te hinu.
17 Ko te rino hei whakakoi mō te rino; waihoki ko te tangata anō hei whakakoi i te mata o tōna hoa.
18 Ko te kaitiaki o te piki, ka kai i ōna hua; ka whakahōnoretia te tangata e whakaaro ana ki tōna rangatira.
19 He pērā i te wai, tiro atu, tiro mai he kanohi, ka pēnā anō tō te tangata ngākau ki te tangata.
20 Ko te rēinga, ko te whakangaromanga, e kore e mākona; e kore anō hoki e mākona ngā kanohi o te tangata.
21 Ko te oko tahu para mō te hiriwa, ko te oumu mō te kōura; ā, ko te whakanui i a ia, hei whakamātautau mō te tangata.
22 Ahakoa i tukua e koe te wairangi ki te tuki i roto i te kumete i waenga i ngā wīti pēpē, e kore tōna whakaarokore e riro.
23 Kia anga nui koa kia mōhio ki te āhua o āu hipi, ā, kia pai te tiaki i āu kāhui kau;
24 e kore hoki te taonga e mau tonu; e mau ianei te karauna ki ngā whakatupuranga katoa?
25 Kua whāiti te hei, e kitea ana te tupu hou, ā, e kohikohia ana ngā otaota o ngā maunga.
26 Hei mea kākahu mōu ngā reme, ā, ko ngā koati hei utu mō te māra.
27 Ā tērā te waiū koati, he nui noa atu hei kai māu, hei kai hoki mā tōu whare, hei oranga anō hoki mō āu kōtiro.
