Filhos

3 Nā, he taonga pūmau nā Ihowā ngā tamariki,

ko ngā hua anō o te kōpū tāna utu.

4 E rite ana ki ngā pere i te ringaringa o te tangata kaha

te whānau o te taitamarikitanga.

5 Ka hari te tangata

kua kī nei tāna papa pere i a rātou.

E kore rātou e whakamā,

ina kōrero ki ō rātou hoariri i te kūwaha.

Te Kāinga Koa o te Hunga Whakapono

1 Ka hari ngā tāngata katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowā,

e haere ana i āna ara.

2 E kai hoki koe i te mahinga a ōu ringa;

e hari koe, ā, ka tau te pai ki a koe.

3 E rite tāu wahine ki te wāina hua

i roto rawa i tōu whare;

āu tamariki ki ngā māhuri ōriwa,

i ngā taha o tāu tēpu.

4 Nā, he pērā te manaaki mō te tangata

e wehi ana i a Ihowā.

Te Kāinga Koa o te Hunga Whakapono

1 Ka hari ngā tāngata katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowā,

e haere ana i āna ara.

2 E kai hoki koe i te mahinga a ōu ringa;

e hari koe, ā, ka tau te pai ki a koe.

3 E rite tāu wahine ki te wāina hua

i roto rawa i tōu whare;

āu tamariki ki ngā māhuri ōriwa,

i ngā taha o tāu tēpu.

12 Ā, kia rite ā mātou tama i tō rātou taitamarikitanga

ki ngā māhuri e tupu ake ana;

ā mātou tamāhine hoki ki ngā kōhatu kokonga,

whakapaipai rawa, nō te whare rangatira te tauira.

2 Ka nui ōna uri ki runga ki te whenua;

ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

28 Nā, ka manaakitia rāua e te Atua, ā, ka mea te Atua ki a rāua, "Kia hua, kia tini, kia kapi hoki te whenua i a kōrua, kia mate hoki ōna tara i a kōrua; ko kōrua hei rangatira mō te ika o te moana, mō te manu hoki o te rangi, mō ngā mea ora katoa anō hoki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua."

4 Ka manaakitia ngā hua o tōu kōpū, me ngā hua o tōu oneone, me ngā hua o āu kararehe, ngā uri o āu kau, me ngā kūao o āu hipi.

14 Ka manaakitia koe, nui atu i ngā iwi katoa. E kore e pākoko te tāne, te wahine rānei, i roto i a koe, i roto rānei i āu kararehe.

6 Whakatupuria ake te tamaiti i te ara e haere ai ia,

ā, ka kaumātua, e kore e mahue i a ia.

15 Paihere rawa te wairangi ki roto ki te ngākau o te tamaiti,

otiia, mā te rākau o te whiu e pei kia matara atu i a ia.

24 Ko te tangata e kaiponu ana i tāna whiu, e kino ana ia ki tāna tama;

ko te tangata ia e aroha ana ki a ia, ka papaki wawe i a ia.

15 Ko te whiu, ko te riri i te hē, he mea hōmai ērā i te whakaaro nui;

tēnā ko te tamaiti mahue noa, ka whakamā a ia tōna whaea.

13 Kaua e tohungia te whiu ki te tamaiti;

ki te patua hoki ia e koe ki te rākau, e kore ia e mate.

He Tohutohu a-Mātua

1 Whakarongo, e āku tamariki, ki te whakaako a te matua,

tahuri mai hoki kia mātauria ai ngā whakaaro mōhio.

Te Kohinga Tuatahi a ngā Whakatauki a Horomona

1 Ko ngā whakatauki a Horomona.

He tama whakaaro nui, ka koa te pāpā;

tēnā he tama kūware, he utanga nui mō tōna whaea.

6 Hei roto anō i tōu ngākau ēnei kupu e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā. 7 Whakaakona mārietia atu hoki ki āu tamariki, kōrerotia i a koe e noho ana i tōu whare, i a koe e haere ana i te huarahi, i a koe e takoto ana, i tōu aranga ake hoki.

14 Nō te kitenga ia o Īhu, ka riri, ka mea ki a rātou, "Tukua ngā tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki rātou e āraia atu; nō ngā pēnei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

11 Nā, ki te mātau koutou, te hunga kino, ki te hoatu mea papai ki ā koutou tamariki, tērā noa ake te hōmaitanga o ngā mea papai e tō koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e īnoi ana ki a ia.

52 Nā, ka kake haere a Īhu te whakaaro nui, te kaumātua, ka paingia anō e te Atua, e te tangata.

13 E aroha ana te matua ki āna tamariki,

pērā tonu tō Ihowā aroha ki te hunga e wehi ana ki a ia.

He Tamariki nā te Atua

1 Kia kite koutou i te tikanga o te aroha i hōmai nei e te Matua ki a tātou, arā kia huaina tātou he tamariki nā te Atua! He pērā hoki tātou, koia te ao tē mātau ai ki a tātou, kāhore hoki i mātau ki a ia.

24 ‘Mā Ihowā koe e manaaki,

māna koe e tiaki;

25 Mā Ihowā e mea kia tīaho tōna mata ki a koe,

māna anō hoki koe e atawhai;

26 Mā Ihowā tōna kanohi e whakaara ki a koe,

māna anō e tuku te rangimārie ki a koe.’

28 Kia hōmai anō e te Atua ki a koe te tōmairangi o te rangi,

me te mōmonatanga o te whenua,

kia nui anō hoki te wīti me te wāina!

29 Kia mahi ngā iwi ki a koe,

kia piko iho hoki ngā tauiwi ki a koe.

Kia waiho koe hei rangatira mō ōu tēina,

ā, kia piko iho ki a koe ngā tama a tōu whaea.

Kia kangā te tangata e kanga ana i a koe,

ā, kia manaakitia te tangata e manaaki ana i a koe."

3 Nō te mea ka ringihia e ahau he wai ki runga ki te tangata matewai,

he awa ki te wāhi maroke;

ka ringihia e ahau tōku wairua ki ōu uri,

tāku manaaki ki tāu whānau.

4 Ā, ka tupu rātou i waenga taru,

ānō he wirou i te taha o ngā rerenga wai.

13 Ā, ka whakaakona e Ihowā āu tamariki katoa;

ka nui hoki te rangimārie ki āu tamariki.

5 "Kīanō koe i hangā e ahau i roto i te kōpū,

kua mōhio ahau ki a koe,

ā, kīanō koe i puta mai i te puku,

kua whakatapua koe e ahau;

kua whakaritea koe e ahau hei poropiti ki ngā iwi."

38 Ā, ko rātou hei iwi māku, ko ahau hoki hei Atua mō rātou. 39 Ā, ka hoatu e ahau he ngākau kotahi ki a rātou, he ara kotahi, kia wehi ai rātou i ahau ā ake ake; hei pai mō rātou, mō ā rātou tamariki hoki i muri i a rātou.

13 I a koe hoki ōku whatumanawa;

nāu hoki ahau i hīpoki i roto i te kōpū o tōku whaea.

14 Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe;

he mea whakawehi, he mea whakamīharo tōku hanganga;

he mahi whakamīharo āu mahi,

mōhio rawa anō tōku wairua ki tēnā.

15 Kīhai i hunā ōku wāhi i a koe,

i ahau e hangā ngarotia ana,

e āta whakairohia ana i ngā wāhi hōhonu rawa o te whenua.

16 I kite ōu kanohi i ahau, kāhore anō kia āhua noa.

I tuhituhia katoatia anō hoki ōku wāhi ki tāu pukapuka,

i ngā rangi i whakaahua ai,

i te mea kāhore anō tētahi i oti noa.

10 He mea whakarere atu ahau ki runga ki a koe nō te kōpū mai;

ko koe tōku Atua nō te kōpū mai anō o tōku whaea.

25 He tamariki ahau i mua, ā, kua koroheke nei,

heoi, kāhore ahau i kite i te tangata tika e whakarērea ana,

i ōna uri hoki e pīnono taro ana.

26 I te rā roa he atawhai tonu tāna, he ohaoha;

ka manaakitia hoki ōna uri.

4 E kore e hunā e mātou i ā rātou tamariki;

me whakaatu ki tō muri whakatupuranga

ngā whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā, me tōna kaha,

me āna mahi whakamīharo i mea ai ia.

6 Hei karauna mō ngā koroheke ngā tamariki a ngā tamariki;

nā, ko te korōria o ngā tamariki ko ō rātou mātua.

7 Ko te tangata tika, e haere ana i runga i tōna tapatahi,

ka manaakitia āna tamariki i muri i a ia.

Ngā Tamariki me ngā Mātua

1 E ngā tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki ō koutou mātua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tēnei. 2 "Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea"– ko te ture tuatahi tēnei i runga i te kupu whakaari – 3 "Kia hua ai te pai ki a koe, kia roa ai hoki tōu noho i te whenua."

4 Me koutou hoki, e ngā mātua, kei whakapātaritari i ā koutou tamariki kia riri; engari whakatupuria ake rātou i runga i te whakaako, i te whakatūpato a te Ariki.

20 E ngā tamariki, whakarongo ki ō koutou mātua i ngā mea katoa: he mea pai hoki tēnei ki te Ariki.

21 E ngā mātua, kei ārita noa ki ā koutou tamariki, kei ngākaukore rātou.

12 "Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea; kia roa ai ōu rā ki te whenua e hōmai nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe.

7 Hei pakinga tā koutou e manawanui ai; e rite ana tā te Atua meatanga ki a koutou ki tāna ki ngā tama tupu. Ko wai hoki te tama e kore e pākia e tōna pāpā? 8 Ki te kāhore ia ō koutou pakinga, te mea e whakawhiwhia ana ki te katoa, he pōriro koutou, ehara i te tama.

4 Ki te mea ia he tamariki, he mokopuna rānei a tētahi pouaru, kia whakaakona rātou i te tuatahi kia whakaaro tika ki tō rātou whare ake, kia utua hoki tā ngā mātua; he mea pai hoki tēnei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua.

21 I te mea ka whakamamae te wahine, ka pōuri, nō te mea ka tae tōna wā. Ka whānau tāna tamaiti, heoi anō, mahara ki te mamae, i te hari hoki, nō te mea ka whānau he tangata ki te ao.

39 Nā, ko ā koutou pōtiki, i mea nā koutou ka waiho hei pārau, me ā koutou tama kīhai nei i mōhio i taua rā ki te pai, ki te kino, e tae rātou ki reira, ka hoatu anō e ahau a reira ki a rātou, ā, e whiwhi rātou ki tērā whenua.
