Whakatauki 22
1 Engari te ingoa pai e whiriwhiria rawatia i nga taonga nui, me te manakohanga aroha i te hiriwa, i te koura.
Betere is a good name, than many richessis; for good grace is aboue siluer and gold.
2 Ka tutataki te tangata taonga raua ko te rawakore; ko Ihowa te kaihanga o ratou katoa.
A riche man and a pore man metten hem silf; the Lord is worchere of euer eithir.
3 Ko te tangata tupato, ka kitea atu e ia te he, ka huna i a ia; ko nga kuware, haere tonu atu, mamae tonu atu.
A felle man seeth yuel, and hidith him silf; and an innocent man passid, and he was turmentid bi harm.
4 Ko te hua o te mahaki, a ko te wehi ki a Ihowa, he taonga, he honore, he ora.
The ende of temperaunce is the drede of the Lord; richessis, and glorye, and lijf.
5 He tataramoa, he mahanga kei te ara o te whanoke; ko te tangata ia e tiaki ana i tona wairua, ka matara atu i ena.
Armuris and swerdis ben in the weie of a weiward man; but the kepere of his soule goith awey fer fro tho.
6 Whakatupuria ake te tamaiti i te ara e haere ai ia, a, ka kaumatua, e kore e mahue i a ia.
It is a prouerbe, A yong wexynge man bisidis his weie, and whanne he hath wexe elde, he schal not go awei fro it.
7 E whakatakoto tikanga ana te tangata taonga mo nga rawakore; a, ko te tangata i te nama, hei pononga ia ma te tangata nana i whakatarewa mai.
A riche man comaundith to pore men; and he that takith borewyng, is the seruaunt of the leenere.
8 Ko te kairui o te kino, ka kokoti i te he: a ka kahore noa iho te patu o tona riri.
He that sowith wickidnes, schal repe yuels; and the yerde of his yre schal be endid.
9 Ko te kanohi ohaoha, ka manaakitia tera; e hoatu ana hoki e ia tetahi wahi o tana taro ma te rawakore.
He that is redi to merci, schal be blessid; for of his looues he yaf to a pore man. He that yyueth yiftis, schal gete victorie and onour; forsothe he takith awei the soule of the takeris.
10 Peia atu te tangata whakahi, a ka riro te ngangare; ka mutu ano hoki te totohe me te whakahawea.
Caste thou out a scornere, and strijf schal go out with hym; and causis and dispisyngis schulen ceesse.
11 Ko te tangata e matenui ana ki te ngakau ma, ko te kingi he hoa mona, mo te ahuareka o ona ngutu.
He that loueth the clennesse of herte, schal haue the kyng a freend, for the grace of hise lippis.
12 Ma nga kanohi o Ihowa e tiaki te tangata whai matauranga, e whakataka ana hoki e ia nga kupu a te tangata kopeka.
The iyen of the Lord kepen kunnyng; and the wordis of a wickid man ben disseyued.
13 E mea ana te mangere, He raiona kei waho: ka whakamatea ahau ki nga huarahi.
A slow man schal seie, A lioun is withoutforth; Y schal be slayn in the myddis of the stretis.
14 He poka hohonu te mangai o nga wahine ke: ka taka ki roto ta Ihowa tangata e whakarihariha ai.
The mouth of an alien womman is a deep diche; he to whom the Lord is wrooth, schal falle in to it.
15 Paihere rawa te wairangi ki roto ki te ngakau o te tamaiti; otiia ma te rakau o te whiu e pei kia matara atu i a ia.
Foli is boundun togidere in the herte of a child; and a yerde of chastisyng schal dryue it awey.
16 Ko te tangata e tukino ana i te rawakore kia maha atu ai he taonga mana, me te tangata hoki e hoatu mea ana ki te tangata taonga, ka tutuki raua ki te muhore kau.
He that falsli chalengith a pore man, to encreesse hise owne richessis, schal yyue to a richere man, and schal be nedi.
17 Anga mai tou taringa, whakarongo mai hoki ki nga kupu a te hunga whakaaro nui, kia tahuri mai hoki tou ngakau ki toku matauranga.
My sone, bowe doun thin eere, and here thou the wordis of wise men; but sette thou the herte to my techyng.
18 He mea ahareka hoki, mehemea ka puritia e koe i roto i tou kopu, ki te u ngatahi raua ki runga ki ou ngutu;
That schal be fair to thee, whanne thou hast kept it in thin herte, and it schal flowe ayen in thi lippis.
19 Kia okioki ai koe ki a Ihowa, koia i whakakitea ai e ahau aua mea ki a koe i tenei ra, ki a koe na ano.
That thi trist be in the Lord; wherfor and Y haue schewid it to thee to dai.
20 He teka ianei hira rawa nga mea kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ki a koe, he kupu ako, he kupu mohio;
Lo! Y haue discryued it in thre maneres, in thouytis and kunnyng,
21 Kia mohio ai koe ki te tuturutanga o nga kupu o te pono, kia whakahokia ai e koe he kupu pono ki te hunga e ngare ana i a koe?
that Y schulde schewe to thee the sadnesse and spechis of trewthe; to answere of these thingis to hem, that senten thee.
22 Kaua e pahuatia te rawakore, no te mea he rawakore ia, kaua hoki e whakatupuria kinotia te tangata iti i te kuwaha:
Do thou not violence to a pore man, for he is pore; nethir defoule thou a nedi man in the yate.
23 No te mea ka tohea e Ihowa ta ratou tohe, ka pahuatia ano hoki e ia te wairua o te hunga e pahua ana i a ratou.
For the Lord schal deme his cause, and he schal turmente hem, that turmentiden his soule.
24 Kaua e whakahoa ki te tangata pukuriri; kei haere tahi hoki koe i te tangata aritarita;
Nyle thou be freend to a wrathful man, nether go thou with a wood man;
25 Kei akona e koe ona ara, a ka riro i a koe he mahanga mo tou wairua.
lest perauenture thou lerne hise weies, and take sclaundir to thi soule.
26 Kei uru koe ki roto ki te hunga papaki ringa, ki nga kaiwhakakapi turanga ranei mo te moni tarewa:
Nyle thou be with hem that oblischen her hondis, and that proferen hem silf borewis for dettis; for if he hath not wherof he schal restore,
27 Ki te kahore au mea hei utu, hei aha i tangohia ai e ia tou moenga i raro i a koe?
what of cause is, that thou take awei hilyng fro thi bed?
28 Kaua e whakanekehia atu te rohe tawhito i whakatakotoria e ou matua.
Go thou not ouer the elde markis, whiche thi faders han set.
29 Kei te kite ranei koe i tetahi tangata e uaua ana ki tana mahi? ka tu ia ki te aroaro o nga kingi; e kore ia e tu ki te aroaro o nga ware.
Thou hast seyn a man smert in his werk; he schal stonde bifore kyngis, and he schal not be bifor vnnoble men.
