Whakatauki 17
1 Ko te maramara kai, ko te mea maroke me te ata noho hei kinaki, pai atu i te whare ki i nga hakari a te nganagare.
Betere is a drie mussel with ioye, than an hous ful of sacrifices with chidyng.
2 Hei rangatira te pononga mahara mo te tama i whakama ai; ka whai wahi ano ia i roto i to nga teina.
A wijs seruaunt schal be lord of fonned sones; and he schal departe eritage among britheren.
3 Ko te oko tahu para mo te hiriwa, ko te oumu mo te koura; ko Ihowa ia hei whakamatau mo nga ngakau.
As siluer is preued bi fier, and gold is preued bi a chymnei, so the Lord preueth hertis.
4 Ko te kaimahi i te he ka tahuri ki ta te ngutu kino; a ka whai taringa te teka ki ta te arero whanoke.
An yuel man obeieth to a wickid tunge; and a fals man obeieth to false lippis.
5 Ko te taunu ki te rawakore he tawai ki tona Kaihanga: ko te tangata e koa ana ki nga aitua, e kore e kore te whiua.
He that dispisith a pore man, repreueth his maker; and he that is glad in the fallyng of another man, schal not be vnpunyschid.
6 Hei karauna mo nga koroheke nga tamariki a nga tamariki: na, ko te kororia o nga tamariki ko o ratou matua.
The coroun of elde men is the sones of sones; and the glorie of sones is the fadris of hem.
7 E kore te reo rangatira e tau ki te kuware: hore rawa ano hoki te ngutu teka ki te rangatira.
Wordis wel set togidere bisemen not a fool; and a liynge lippe bicometh not a prince.
8 Ko te tangata i te mea homai noa, he kohatu whakapaipai tera ki tana titiro; tona tahuritanga ake ki hea, ki hea, ka whiwhi ki te pai.
A preciouse stoon moost acceptable is the abiding of hym that sekith; whidur euere he turneth hym silf, he vndurstondith prudentli.
9 Ko te tangata e hipoki ana i te he, e whai ana i te aroha; tena ko te tangata korerorero, e wehewehe ana i nga hoa tupu.
He that helith trespas, sekith frenschipis; he that rehersith bi an hiy word, departith hem, that ben knyt togidere in pees.
10 Ko te ngotonga o te kupu riri ki roto ki te tangata matau, nui atu i to nga whiu kotahi rau ki roto ki te whakaarokore.
A blamyng profitith more at a prudent man, than an hundryd woundis at a fool.
11 He whakakeke kau ta te tangata kino e whai ai; no reira ka tukua atu he karere nanakia ki a ia.
Euere an yuel man sekith stryues; forsothe a cruel aungel schal be sent ayens hym.
12 Kia tutaki ki te tangata te pea kua tangohia ana kuao; pai atu i te whakaarokore i a ia e wairangi ana.
It spedith more to meete a femal bere, whanne the whelpis ben rauyschid, than a fool tristynge to hym silf in his foli.
13 Ko te tangata e homai ana i te kino hei utu mo te pai, e kore te kino e neke atu i tona whare.
Yuel schal not go a wei fro the hous of hym, that yeldith yuels for goodis.
14 Ko te timatanga o te totohe i rite ki te tangata e tuku ana i te wai kia rere: na reira waiho atu te totohe i te mea kiano i oho te ngangare.
He that leeueth watir, is heed of stryues; and bifor that he suffrith wrong, he forsakith dom.
15 Ko te tangata e whakatika ana i ta te tangata kino, me ia e whakahe ana i ta te tangata tika, he rite tahi taua rua, he mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowa.
Bothe he that iustifieth a wickid man, and he that condempneth a iust man, euer ethir is abhomynable at God.
16 Hei aha te utu i te ringa o te kuware, hei hoko i te whakaaro nui, kahore nei hoki ona matauranga?
What profitith it to a fool to haue richessis, sithen he mai not bie wisdom? He that makith his hous hiy, sekith falling; and he that eschewith to lerne, schal falle in to yuels.
17 E aroha ana te hoa i nga wa katoa; na, ko te teina, ko te tuakana, i whanau tera mo nga aitua.
He that is a frend, loueth in al tyme; and a brother is preuyd in angwischis.
18 Ko ta te tangata ngakaukore he papaki ringa; kua waiho hei whakakapi turanga i te aroaro o tona hoa.
A fonned man schal make ioie with hondis, whanne he hath bihiyt for his frend.
19 Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki te nganagare e aroha ana ki te kino; ko te tangata e whakarewa ana i tona kuwaha e rapu ana i te whakangaromanga.
He that bithenkith discordis, loueth chidingis; and he that enhaunsith his mouth, sekith fallyng.
20 Ko te ngakau parori ke e kore e kite i te pai; ko te tangata he whanoke tona arero ka taka ki te kino.
He that is of weiward herte, schal not fynde good; and he that turneth the tunge, schal falle in to yuel.
21 Ka whanau he whakaarokore ma tetahi tangata, hei whakapouri tera mona: e kore ano hoki e koa te papa o te poauau.
A fool is borun in his schenschipe; but nether the fadir schal be glad in a fool.
22 He rongoa pai te ngakau koa; ki te maru ia te wairua, ka maroke nga wheua.
A ioiful soule makith likinge age; a sorewful spirit makith drie boonys.
23 E tango ana te tangata kino i te mea whakapati i te uma, hei whakapeau ke i nga ara o te whakarite whakawa.
A wickid man takith yiftis fro the bosum, to mys turne the pathis of doom.
24 Kei te aroaro o te tangata matau nga whakaaro nui; kei nga pito ia o te whenua nga kanohi o te whakaarokore.
Wisdom schyneth in the face of a prudent man; the iyen of foolis ben in the endis of erthe.
25 Ko te tamaiti whakaarokore he mea whakapouri i tona papa, he mea whakakawa i te ngakau o tona whaea.
A fonned sone is the ire of the fadir, and the sorewe of the modir that gendride hym.
26 Ehara ano hoki i te mea pai kia whiua te tangata tika, kia patua ranei nga rangatira mo te tika.
It is not good to brynge in harm to a iust man; nether to smyte the prince that demeth riytfuli.
27 He matauranga to te tangata e tohu ana i ana kupu: a he whakaaro to te tangata i te wairua manawanui.
He that mesurith his wordis, is wijs and prudent; and a lerud man is of preciouse spirit.
28 Ko te wairangi nei ano, ki te whakarongo puku, ka kiia he whakaaro nui: ki te kokopi ona ngutu, ka kiia ia he tupato.
Also a foole, if he is stille, schal be gessid a wijs man; and, if he pressith togidre hise lippis, he `schal be gessid an vndurstondynge man.
