Waiata 1

1 Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e haere i te whakaaro o te tangata kino, a kahore e tu i te ara o te hunga hara, kahore ano e noho i te nohoanga o te hunga whakahi.

Kasakkung: Panuekhoeh Tamikathoutnaw e khokhangnae koe ka cet hoeh e tami, tamikayonnaw e lamthung dawk kangdout hoeh e tami, kadudamnaw e kamkhuengnae koe hai ka tahung hoeh e tami,

2 Engari ko te ture a Ihowa tana e whakaahuareka ai; kei tona ture ona whakaaro i te ao, i te po.

BAWIPA e lawk ka ngâi niteh, a kâlawknaw hah karum khodai luepluep ka pouk e tami teh a yawhawi.

3 E rite hoki ia ki te rakau i whakatokia ki te taha o nga awa wai, e whai hua nei i te po e hua ai: e kore tona rau e memenga; a ka pono ana mea katoa e mea ai ia.

Ahni teh tui teng vah ung e, a tue a pha torei ka paw niteh, a hna hai kamyai hoeh e thingkung hoi a kâvan. A tawksak e naw dawk hawinae a hmu han.

4 E kore e pera nga tangata kino; engari ka rite ki te papapa e aia ana e te hau.

Tamikathoutnaw teh, hottelah laipalah, kahlî ni a palek e cahik hoi a kâvan awh.

5 Ae ra, e kore e tu te hunga kino i te whakawakanga, me te hunga hara i te whakaminenga o te hunga tika.

Hatdawkvah, tamikathoutnaw teh, lawkcengnae hnin navah kangdout thai awh mahoeh. Tamikayonnaw hai tami kalannaw e kamkhuengnae dawk bawk thai mahoeh.

6 E matau ana hoki a Ihowa ki te ara o te hunga tika: ko te ara ia o te hunga kino e ngaro.

Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni tami kalannaw e lamthung teh a panue. Tamikathoutnaw e lamthung teh rawknae koe a pha han.
