Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom she has built house her she has hewn pillars her seven.
Kua oti i te whakaaro nui tetahi whare mona te hanga, e whitu nga pou kua oti te tarai e ia:
2 She has slaughtered slaughtering her she has mixed wine her also she has arranged table her.
Kua oti ana kararehe te patu e ia; whakananu rawa tana waina; kua oti ano tana tepu te whakapai.
3 She has sent out female servants her she calls out on [the] elevations of [the] heights of [the] town.
Kua unga e ia ana kotiro, e karanga ana ia i runga i nga wahi tiketike rawa o te pa.
4 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here [one] lacking of heart she says to him.
Ki te mea he kuware tetahi, me peka mai ia ki konei: ko te tangata maharakore, ko tana kupu tenei ki a ia,
5 Come eat in food my and drink in [the] wine [which] I have mixed.
Haere mai, kainga taku taro, inumia hoki te waina kua oti nei te whakananu e ahau.
6 Abandon foolish things and live and advance in [the] way of understanding.
Kati ra, e te hunga kuware, kia ora ai koutou; haere hoki i te ara o te matauranga.
7 [one who] admonishes - A mocker [is] receiving for himself shame and [one who] reproves a wicked [person] defect his.
Ko ia e papaki ana i te tangata whakahihi, ka whakama; a ko ia e riri ana i te tangata kino, ka piri mai he he ki a ia.
8 May not you reprove a mocker lest he should hate you reprove a wise [person] and he will love you.
Kaua e riria te tangata whakahi, kei kino ia ki a koe: riria ko te tangata whakaaro nui, a ka aroha ia ki a koe.
9 Give to a wise [person] so he may be wise yet make known to a righteous [person] so may he increase insight.
Hoatu te mohio ki te tangata whakaaro nui, a ka neke ake ona whakaaro; whakaakona te tangata tika, a ka nui ake tona mohio.
10 [is the] beginning of Wisdom [the] fear of Yahweh and [the] knowledge of [the] holy [one] [is] understanding.
Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui ko te wehi ki a Ihowa; ko te matauranga, ko te mohio ki te Mea Tapu.
11 For by me they will increase days your so they may add to you years of life.
Maku hoki ka maha ai ou ra, maku ka neke ake ai nga tau e ora ai koe.
12 If you are wise you are wise for yourself and you mock to alone you you will bear [it].
Ki te nui ou whakaaro, mou ano ou whakaaro nui; ki te whakahi koe, mau anake tau pikaunga.
13 A woman of folly [is] boisterous naivete and not she knows whatever.
Ko te wahine wairangi, he mangai nui ia; he kuware ia, kahore ona mohio ki te aha, ki te aha.
14 And she sits to [the] doorway of house her on a seat [the] heights of [the] town.
Noho ana ia i te kuwaha o tona whare i runga i te nohoanga i nga wahi tiketike o te pa;
15 To call out to [those who] pass by of [the] road those [who] make straight paths their.
Kia karanga atu ai ia ki nga tangata e haere ana i te ara, e maro tonu ana o ratou huarahi,
16 Who? [is] naive let him turn aside here and [one] lacking of heart and she says to him.
Ko te kuware, peka mai ki konei; tena ko te tangata whakaarokore, ko tana kupu tenei ki a ia,
17 Waters stolen they are sweet and bread of secret places it is delightful.
He reka te wai tahae, a he ahuareka te taro kai huna.
