TSK · Whakatauki 29:3

Kia matara tou ara i a ia, kaua hoki e tata ki te tatau o tona whare;

Ko te tukunga iho o te tangata he wahi taro, he mea mo te wahine kairau; ko ta te wahine purema e whai ana ko te wairua utu nui.

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

¶ Kei te nohoanga o te tangata whakaaro nui te taonga momohanga me te hinu; heoi maumauria ake e te wairangi.

Nui atu hoki te koa o te papa o te tangata tika; a, ko te tangata e whanau he tama whakaaro nui mana, ka hari ia ki a ia.

¶ Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te ture, he tamaiti mohio ia; engari ko te tangata whakahoa ki te hunga kakai, ka whakama tona papa i a ia.

Otira ka mea te anahera ki a ia, kaua e wehi, e Hakaraia: kua rangona hoki tau inoi, a ka whanau i tau wahine, i a Erihapeti, he tama mau, a ka huaina e koe tona ingoa ko Hoani.

Otira, i te taenga mai o tenei tama au, i pau nei tou oranga i a ia, ratou tahi ko nga wahine kairau, kua patua e koe te kuao momona a te kau mana.
