Whakatauki 9
1 Kua oti i te whakaaro nui tetahi whare mona te hanga, e whitu nga pou kua oti te tarai e ia:
Nzeru inamanga nyumba yake; inayimika nsanamira zake zisanu ndi ziwiri.
2 Kua oti ana kararehe te patu e ia; whakananu rawa tana waina; kua oti ano tana tepu te whakapai.
Inapha ziweto zake ndipo yasakaniza vinyo wake; inasakaniza vinyo wake ndi kuyala tebulo lake.
3 Kua unga e ia ana kotiro, e karanga ana ia i runga i nga wahi tiketike rawa o te pa.
Nzeruyo inatuma adzakazi ake, kuti akakhale pamwamba penipeni pa mzinda ndi kukalengeza kuti,
4 Ki te mea he kuware tetahi, me peka mai ia ki konei: ko te tangata maharakore, ko tana kupu tenei ki a ia,
“Aliyense amene ali munthu wamba, abwere kuno!” Kwa onse opanda nzeru inkanena kuti,
5 Haere mai, kainga taku taro, inumia hoki te waina kua oti nei te whakananu e ahau.
“Bwerani, dzadyeni chakudya changa ndipo dzamweni vinyo amene ndakonza.
6 Kati ra, e te hunga kuware, kia ora ai koutou; haere hoki i te ara o te matauranga.
Lekani zopusa zanu kuti mukhale ndi moyo; yendani njira ya nzeru yomvetsa zinthu.”
7 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.
Aliyense amene amayesa kukonza munthu wonyoza amadziputira minyozo; aliyense amene amadzudzula munthu woyipa amadetsa mbiri yake.
8 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.
Usadzudzule munthu wonyoza kuti angadzadane nawe; dzudzula munthu wanzeru ndipo adzakukonda.
9 Hoatu te mohio ki te tangata whakaaro nui, a ka neke ake ona whakaaro; whakaakona te tangata tika, a ka nui ake tona mohio.
Ukalangiza munthu wanzeru ndiye adzapitirira kukhala wanzeru; ukaphunzitsa munthu wolungama ndiye adzawonjezera kuphunzira kwake.
10 Ko te timatanga o te whakaaro nui ko te wehi ki a Ihowa; ko te matauranga, ko te mohio ki te Mea Tapu.
Kuopa Yehova ndiye chiyambi cha nzeru; kudziwa Woyerayo ndiko kukhala womvetsa bwino zinthu.
11 Maku hoki ka maha ai ou ra, maku ka neke ake ai nga tau e ora ai koe.
Chifukwa cha ine nzeru, masiku ako adzachuluka, ndipo zaka za moyo wako zidzawonjezeredwa.
12 Ki te nui ou whakaaro, mou ano ou whakaaro nui; ki te whakahi koe, mau anake tau pikaunga.
Ngati ndiwe wanzeru, nzeru yakoyo idzakupindulitsa; ngati ndiwe wonyoza ena, udzavutika wekha.
13 Ko te wahine wairangi, he mangai nui ia; he kuware ia, kahore ona mohio ki te aha, ki te aha.
Uchitsiru ndi mkazi waphokoso, wopulikira ndiponso wosadziwa zinthu.
14 Noho ana ia i te kuwaha o tona whare i runga i te nohoanga i nga wahi tiketike o te pa;
Iye amakhala pa mpando, pa khomo la nyumba yake, pamalo aatali a mu mzinda,
15 Kia karanga atu ai ia ki nga tangata e haere ana i te ara, e maro tonu ana o ratou huarahi,
kuti aziyitana anthu ongodutsa, amene akunka nayenda njira zawo.
16 Ko te kuware, peka mai ki konei; tena ko te tangata whakaarokore, ko tana kupu tenei ki a ia,
Amati, “Onse amene ndi anthu wamba abwere kuno,” ndipo kwa wopanda nzeru amati,
17 He reka te wai tahae, a he ahuareka te taro kai huna.
“Madzi akuba ndiye amatsekemera; chakudya chodya mobisa ndi chokoma!”
