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 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise: 3 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth."
