Chapter 6
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.
