Obediência aos pais
A obediência aos pais é mandamento divino com promessa de vida longa. A Bíblia valoriza a honra filial e ensina os filhos a respeitar e obedecer aos pais com amor.
Honrar pai e mãe
O quinto mandamento ordena honrar pai e mãe. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa: para que vá bem e vivas muito na terra.
"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.
"Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea, kia rite ki tā Ihowā, ki tā tōu Atua i whakahau ai ki a koe; kia roa ai ōu rā, kia whiwhi ai hoki koe ki te pai i runga i te whenua e hōmai nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe.
I mea hoki te Atua, ‘Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea,’ ā, ‘Ki te kohukohu hoki tētahi i tōna pāpā, i tōna whaea rānei kia mate ia, mate rawa.’
Ngā Tamariki me ngā Mātua
E ngā tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki ō koutou mātua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tēnei. "Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea"– ko te ture tuatahi tēnei i runga i te kupu whakaari – "Kia hua ai te pai ki a koe, kia roa ai hoki tōu noho i te whenua."
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.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
E ngā tamariki, whakarongo ki ō koutou mātua i ngā mea katoa: he mea pai hoki tēnei ki te Ariki.
He Tohutohu ki ngā Taiohi
Whakarongo, e tāku tama, ki te ako a tōu pāpā,
kaua hoki e whakarērea te ture a tōu whaea;
ka waiho hoki ēnā hei pare ātaahua mō tōu mātenga,
hei mekameka whakapaipai mō tōu kakī.
E tāku tama, puritia te whakahau a tōu pāpā,
kaua hoki e whakarērea te ture a tōu whaea.
Kia mau tonu te tākai ki tōu ngākau,
heia ki tōu kakī.
Ko tōu kaiārahi anō tērā ina haere koe;
māna koe e tiaki ina takoto koe;
ka kōrero mai anō ki a koe, ina ara koe.
He rama hoki te whakahau, ā, he mārama te ture;
ko ngā riringa hoki, e whakaako ana, he ara ki te ora.
He Tohutohu a-Mātua
Whakarongo, e āku tamariki, ki te whakaako a te matua,
tahuri mai hoki kia mātauria ai ngā whakaaro mōhio.
He pai hoki te kupu mōhio ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou,
kaua tāku ture e whakarērea.
He tama anō hoki ahau ki tōku pāpā,
ā, he ngāwari, he mea kotahi e matenuitia ana e tōku whaea,
i whakaako anō ia i ahau, i mea ki ahau,
"Puritia āku kupu e tōu ngākau;
kia mau ki āku whakahau, ā, e ora koe.
Whāia mōu te whakaaro nui, whāia mōu te mātauranga;
kaua e wareware ki tērā,
kaua hoki e neke atu i ngā kupu a tōku māngai.
Kaua ia e whakarērea, ā, māna koe e tiaki;
arohaina ia, ā, māna koe e mau ai.
Ko te tama whakaaro nui ka rongo ki tā tōna pāpā ako;
ko te tangata whakahī ia e kore e rongo ki te riri.
Whakatupuria ake te tamaiti i te ara e haere ai ia,
ā, ka kaumātua, e kore e mahue i a ia.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
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.
Ko te tangata e pāhua ana i tōna pāpā, e pei atu ana hoki i tōna whaea,
he tama ia e whakamā ai, e ingoa kino ai hoki.
Ko te kanohi e whakahī ana ki te pāpā,
e whakahāwea ana ki te whakarongo ki tōna whaea,
mā ngā raweni o te awaawa ia e tīkaro,
ā, mā ngā pī ēkara e kai.
"Me tino whakamate anō hoki te tangata e patu ana i tōna pāpā, i tōna whaea rānei.
Ngā Tama Tutū
Ki te mea he whakakeke, he whakatoi, te tama a tētahi tangata, ā, kāhore e rongo ki te reo o tōna pāpā, ki te reo rānei o tōna whaea, ā, ahakoa ka whiua e rāua, kāhore e rongo ki a rāua, nā, me mau tōna pāpā rāua ko tōna whaea ki a ia, ka kawe i a ia ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, ki te kūwaha o tōna wāhi. Ā, ka mea ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, "Ko tēnei tama a māua he whakakeke, he whakatoi, ā, e kore e rongo ki ō māua reo; he tangata haututū, he poro haurangi." Kātahi ngā tāngata katoa o tōna pā ka āki i a ia ki te kōhatu, kia mate; ā, ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe, ā, ka rongo a Īharaira katoa, ka wehi.
Ko te tangata e kanga ana i tōna pāpā, i tōna whaea,
ka tineia tōna rama i roto i te pōuri kerekere.
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?
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.
