< Whakatauki 4 >
1 Whakarongo, e aku tamariki, ki te whakaako a te matua, tahuri mai hoki kia matauria ai nga whakaaro mohio.
Pa kah thuituennah te ca rhoek loh hnatun saeh lamtah yakmingnah dang hamla hnatung saeh.
2 He pai hoki te kupu mohio ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou, kaua taku ture e whakarerea.
Nangmih taengah aka then rhingtuknah kam paek coeng dongah ka olkhueng he hnoo boeh.
3 He tama ano hoki ahau ki toku papa, a he ngawari, he mea kotahi e matenuitia ana e toku whaea.
Ka camoe vaengah a pa taengah mongkawt la, a nu mikhmuh ah oingaih cangloeng la ka om.
4 I whakaako ano ia i ahau, i mea ki ahau, Puritia aku kupu e tou ngakau; kia mau ki aku whakahau, a e ora koe.
Te vaengah kai n'thuinuet tih kamah taengah, “Ka ol he na lungbuei ah dueh lamtah ka olpaek ngaithuen neh hing puei.
5 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.
Cueihnah te lai lamtah yakmingnah khaw lai lah. Ka ka dong lamkah olthui he hnilh boeh, phaelh boeh.
6 Kaua ia e whakarerea, a mana koe e tiaki; arohaina ia, a mana koe e mau ai.
Cueihnah te hnoo boeh, na lungnah daengah ni namah te n'ngaithuen vetih nang te n'kueinah eh.
7 Ko te whakaaro nui te tino mea; no reira whaia mau te whakaaro nui; a i ou whiwhinga katoa, kia whiwhi koe ki te matauranga.
Cueihnah he ni tanglue, cueihnah he lai lamtah na hnopai boeih nen khaw yakmingnah he lai lah.
8 Whakanuia ia, a mana koe ka kake ai; ka whakahonore ia i a koe ki te awhitia e koe.
Cueihnah te picai lamtah namah te n'pomsang bitni. Namah te n'thangpom atah amah te kop van.
9 Ka homai e ia he pare ataahua ki tou mahunga, ka potaea ano koe e ia ki te karauna whakapaipai.
Na lu dongah mikdaithen kah lukhueng la om vetih nang taengah boeimang rhuisam han tloeng ni.
10 Whakarongo, e taku tama, maharatia aku kupu, a he maha nga tau e ora ai koe.
Ka ca ka hnatun lamtah ka olthui he doe lah. Te daengah ni na hingnah ah kum loh nang hamla a puh eh.
11 He mea whakaako koe naku ki te ara o te whakaaro nui; he mea arahi koe naku i nga ara o te tika.
Cueihnah longpuei neh nang te ka thuinuet vetih namtlak then ah nang te kan cuuk sak ni.
12 Ka haere koe, e kore ou takahanga e whakakikitia mai; ki te rere koe, e kore koe e tutuki.
Na caeh vaengah na khokan loh puenca pawt vetih na yong vaengah tongtah mahpawh.
13 Kia mau ki te ako, kaua e tukua atu; matapoporetia iho, ko tou oranga hoki ia.
Thuituennah te tu lamtah hlong boeh, na hingnah hamla kueinah.
14 Kaua e haere i te ara o te hunga kino, kaua hoki e takahia te huarahi o te hunga he.
Halang kah caehlong ah pongpa boeh, boethae rhoek kah longpuei dongah uem puei boeh.
15 Anga ke ake, kaua e tika na reira; peka ake i taua ara, haere tonu atu.
Te te dul laeh, a taengla paan boeh. A taeng lamloh taengphael lamtah khum tak.
16 E kore hoki ratou e moe ki te kore e oti tetahi mahi he ma ratou; riro rawa to ratou moe, ki te kahore tetahi tangata e hinga i a ratou.
Thaehuet pawt atah ip uh tloel dae a ih loh a hmil atah hlang paloe sak ham te paloe sak uh thai pawh.
17 No te kino hoki te taro e kainga ana e ratou, no te nanakia te waina e inumia ana e ratou.
Halangnah buh te a ang uh tih kuthlahnah misurtui tul uh thae.
18 Ko te huarahi ia o te hunga tika, koia ano kei te marama e whiti ana, a ka neke haere tonu ake tona marama, a taea noatia te tino ra.
Khothaih kah koshae a cikngae vanbangla aka dueng kah caehlong khaw khosae kah a aa bangla a thoeng pah.
19 Ko te ara o te hunga kino, me he pouri; e kore ratou e mohio ki te mea i tutuki ai ratou.
Halang rhoek kah longpuei tah khohmuep bangla om tih mebang neh a tongtah khaw ming uh pawh.
20 E taku tama, tahuri ki aku kupu; anga mai tou taringa ki aku korero.
Ka ca, ka ol he hnatung lamtah ka olthui he na hna kaeng lah.
21 Kei kotiti ke enei i ou kanohi; puritia i waenganui o tou ngakau.
Na mik long khaw khohmang boel saeh lamtah na thinko khui ah te te ngaithuen.
22 He oranga enei mo te hunga e kitea ai, he rongoa mo o ratou kikokiko katoa.
Te te aka hmuh rhoek ham tah amamih kah hingnah neh a pumsa boeih ham khaw hoeihnah la om.
23 Kia pau ou mahara ki te tiaki i tou ngakau; no reira hoki nga putanga o te ora.
Na lungbuei te kueinah khingrhing lah hingnah kah a dawn tah te lamkah ni.
24 Whakarerea te mangai whanoke, kia matara rawa i a koe nga ngutu tutu.
Ka dongkah olhmaang te na taeng lamloh thaek lamtah hmuilai dongkah olrhong oling khaw namah lamloh lakhla sak.
25 Kia hangai tonu te titiro whakamua a ou kanohi; kia titiro ou kamo ki mua tonu i a koe.
Na mik loh phek paelki saeh lamtah na mikkhu loh namah hmaiah buelh dueng saeh.
26 Whakatikaia te huarahi o ou waewae, kia u ano hoki ou ara katoa.
Na kho ham namtlak te saelh pah saeh lamtah na longpuei khaw boeih cikngae saeh.
27 Kaua e peka ki matau, ki maui; kia anga ke tou waewae i te kino.
Banvoei bantang la phael boeh, na kho te a thae dong lamloh hoeptlang lah.
