1 E nga tamariki, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou matua i roto i te Ariki: ko te mea tika hoki tenei.

2 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea; ko te ture tuatahi tenei i runga i te kupu whakaari,

3 Kia hua ai te pai ki a koe, kia roa ai hoki tou noho i te whenua.

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
