TSK · Whakatauki 2:9

¶ He pai, he tika a Ihowa, a ka whakaakona e ia te hunga hara ki te huarahi.

Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.

¶ He rama tau kupu ki oku waewae, he marama ki toku ara.

E mohiotia ai te whakaaro nui, te ako; e kitea ai nga kupu o te matauranga;

Ka haere koe, e kore ou takahanga e whakakikitia mai; ki te rere koe, e kore koe e tutuki.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a tou kaihoko, a te Mea Tapu o Iharaira, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua e whakaako nei i a koe ki te pai mou, e arahi nei i a koe i te ara e haere ai koe.

E tomo ma te kuwaha whaiti: he wharahi hoki te kuwaha, he whanui te ara, e tika ana ki te ngaromanga, a he tokomaha e haere ana ra reira.
