Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand vpon my watch, and set me vpon the towre, and wil looke and see what he would say vnto mee, and what I shall answere to him that rebuketh me.
Ka tu ahau ki taku mahi tiaki, ka whakanoho i ahau ki te taumaihi, ka tutei atu, ka titiro atu, ko te aha e kiia mai e ia ki ahau, a ko te aha e whakahokia e ahau ina riria taku.

Ae ra hoki, he mea nanakia te waina, he tangata whakakake, kahore e ata noho i te kainga; ko tona hiahia whakanuia ake e ia ano ko te reinga; kei te mate tona rite, e kore ano e ngata, e tawhiua ana hoki e ia nga iwi katoa ki a ia, e tuapuatia an a nga tangata katoa ki a ia: (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take vp a parable against him, and a tanting prouerbe against him, and say, Ho, he that increaseth that which is not his? howe long? and hee that ladeth himselfe with thicke clay?
E kore ianei e whakahuatia e enei katoa he kupu whakatauki mona, he whakapeka taunu ano mona, a ka mea, Aue, te mate mo te tangata e ami ana i te mea ehara nei i a ia! he pehea ra te roa? mo te tangata ano e haupu ake ana i te taunaha ki runga ki a ia!
