TSK · Koheleta 7:8

¶ He totohe anake i ahu mai i te whakapehapeha: he whakaaro nui ia kei te hunga i nga kupu tika.

¶ He whakaoho tautohe ta te tangata pukuriri: he pehi pakanga ia ta te tangata manawanui.

¶ Ko ta te tangata ngakau apo he whakapatari pakanga: ko te tangata ia e okioki ana ki a Ihowa ka tetere.

Kua tae ki Aiata, kua pahemo ki Mikirono; ko ana mea rongoatia ake e ia ki Mikimaha:

Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.

Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,

Ko te mea hoki hei matenuitanga ma koutou he manawanui; kia oti ai i a koutou te mahi ta te Atua i pai ai, e riro tonu ai i a koutou nga mea i whakaaria mai ra.

Nana, ki ta tatou he hari te hunga e whakamanawanui ana. kua rongo koutou ki te manawanui o Hopa, kua kite hoki i to te Ariki whakamutunga, he nui to te Ariki aroha, me tana mahi tohu.

He aha hoki te kororia, ki te mea ka whakamanawanui, i te mea kua hara koutou a ka motokia? tena ka whakamanawanui, i te mea ka mahi pai a ka whakamamaetia, he mea whai whakapainga tenei ki te Atua.
