Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
He pai ke te rawakore e haere ana i runga i tona tapatahi, i te ngutu whanoke, i te whakaarokore.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
Na ehara hoki i te mea pai kia kaua he matauranga mo te wairua; a, ko te tangata e hohoro ana ona waewae, ka hara.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
E whakaparoritia ana te ara o te tangata e tona wairangi: e amuamu ana hoki tona ngakau ki a Ihowa.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
Ma te rawa ka tokomaha atu ai nga hoa aroha: e wehea atu ana ia te rawakore i tona hoa aroha.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia; e kore hoki e mawhiti te tangata korero teka.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
He tokomaha e whai kia manakohia e te tangata ringa mahora; he hoa aroha hoki nga tangata katoa no te tangata e homai mea ana.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
E kino ana nga teina katoa o te rawakore ki a ia: na nui ke atu te mataratanga atu o ona hoa i a ia! Whai noa ana kupu i a ratou, heoi kua riro ratou.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te whakaaro nui mona, e aroha ana ki tona wairua ake: ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te matauranga, ka tutaki ki te pai.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
E kore te kaiwhakapae teka e whakaharakoretia; ka huna hoki te tangata korero teka.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
E kore e tau te noho rangatira ki te whakaarokore; he makere rawa te noho ko te pononga hei rangatira mo nga rangatira.
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
Ko te ngarahu tupato ka pupuri i tona riri; a hei whakakororia mona te whakarere noa iho i te he.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
Ko te riri o te kingi rite tonu ki te hamama o te raiona; ko tana manako ia ano he tomairangi i runga i te tarutaru.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
He aitua mo tona papa te tamaiti whakaarokore: a, ko nga ngangare a te wahine, me te maturuturu puputu tonu.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
He whare, he taonga i tuku iho i nga matua: ko te hoa wahine mahara i a Ihowa.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
Ma te mangere e mea kia moe i te moe reka; ka matekai hoki te wairua o te rora.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te whakahau e pupuri ana i tona wairua: engari ko te tangata kore whakaaro ki ona ara ka mate.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
Ko te tangata e ohaoha ana ki te rawakore e whakatarewa moni ana ki a Ihowa, a ka utua ki a ia tana mahi atawhai.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
Pakia tau tama, i te mea kua whai manakohanga; kaua hoki tou ngakau e whai tonu i te whakangaromanga mona.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
Ko te tangatariri nui mana e waha tona he: ki te whakaora hoki koe i a ia, ka waiho tonu tena hei mahi mau.
20 Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.
Whakarongo ki te kupu tohutohu, tahuri mai hoki ki te ako, kia whai whakaaro ai koe i tou mutunga iho.
21 Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.
He maha nga whakaaro i roto i te ngakau o te tangata; e tu tonu ana ia ta Ihowa tikanga.
22 That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.
Ko te hiahia o te tangata te aronga o tana atawhai: engari te rawakore i te tangata teka.
23 The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te ara ki te ora: a, ko te tangata kei a ia tera, ka noho makona; e kore tetahi he e pa ki a ia.
24 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.
E kuhua ana e te mangere tona ringa ki te rihi, e kore rawa nei e whakahokia e ia ki tona mangai.
25 Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
Pakia te tangata whakahi, a ka tupato nga kuware: akona hoki te tangata mahara, a ka mohio ia ki te matauranga.
26 He that destroyeth his father, or chaseth away his mother, is a lewde and shamefull childe.
Ko te tangata e pahua ana i tona papa, e pei atu ana hoki i tona whaea, he tama ia e whakama ai, e ingoa kino ai hoki.
27 My sonne, heare no more the instruction, that causeth to erre from ye words of knowledge.
Kati, e taku tama, te whakarongo ki te ako hei mea kau e kotiti atu ai i nga kupu o te matauranga.
28 A wicked witnes mocketh at iudgement, and the mouth of ye wicked swalloweth vp iniquitie.
E whakahi ana te kaiwhakaatu he ki te whakawa; e horomia ana hoki te kino e te mangai o te hunga kino.
29 But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.
Kua rite he whakawa mo nga whakahi, he whiu mo te tuara o nga whakaarokore.
