TSK · Whakatauki 3:1

Mau ia koe e tiaki, me tiaki marie ano tou wairua, kei wareware ki nga mea i kite ai ou kanohi, kei riro atu hoki i roto i tou ngakau, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; engari me whakaako au tama, me nga tama hoki a au tama ki ena mea;

Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea, kia rite ki ta Ihowa, ki ta tou Atua i whakahau aia ki a koe; kia roa ai ou ra, kia whiwhi ai hoki koe ki te pai i runga i te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

Hei roto ano i tou ngakau enei kupu e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra;

I ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tenei ra kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te w henua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

He oranga ngakau ki ahau au tikanga: e kore ahau e wareware ki tau kupu. KIMERE

A ka waiho e ahau hei oranga ngakau moku au whakahau e aroha nei ahau.

¶ Whakaaro mai ki toku mate, a whakaorangia ahau: kahore hoki ahau e wareware ki tau ture.

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

Whaia mou te whakaaro nui, whaia mou te matauranga; kaua e wareware ki tera, kaua hoki e neke atu i nga kupu a toku mangai.

¶ He teka ianei kei te karanga te whakaaro nui, e puaki ana ano te reo o te matauranga?

Kei inu ratou, a ka wareware ki te ture, a ka whakapeau ke i te whakawa o te tangata e tukinotia ana.

Engari ko te kawenata tenei e whakaritea e ahau ki te whare o Iharaira i muri i aua ra, e ai ta Ihowa; Ka hoatu e ahau taku ture ki o ratou wahi i roto, ka tuhituhia ano ki to ratou ngakau; a ko ahau hei Atua mo ratou, ko ratou hei iwi maku.

Ko te tangata kei a ia nei aku ture, e puritia ana hoki e ia, ko ia te aroha ana ki ahau: ki te aroha tetahi ki ahau, ka arohaina ia e toku Matua, a ka aroha ahau ki a ia, ka whakaatu i ahau ki a ia.
