TSK · Whakatauki 23:22

¶ Ki te mea he whakakeke, he whakatoi, te tama a tetahi tangata, a kahore e rongo ki te reo o tona papa, ki te reo ranei o tona whaea, a ahakoa ka whiua e raua, kahore e rongo ki a raua:

Whakarongo, e taku tama, ki te ako a tou papa, kaua hoki e whakarerea te ture a tou whaea;

¶ He tama whakaaro nui, ka koa te papa: tena ko te tama kuware, he whakahawea ki tona whaea.

Ko te kanohi e whakahi ana ki te papa, e whakahawea ana ki te whakarongo ki tona whaea, ma nga raweni o te awaawa ia e tikaro, a ma nga pi ekara e kai.

I mea hoki a Mohi, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; me tenei, Ki te korero kino tetahi mo tona papa, mo tona whaea ranei, kia mate ia, mate rawa:

¶ E nga tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou matua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tenei.
