Provérbios 2

Ngā Huanga o te Whakaaronui

1 E tāku tama, ki te tango koe i āku kupu,

ki te huna i āku whakahau ki roto ki a koe,

2 ā, ka tahuri tōu taringa ki te whakaaro nui,

ka anga anō tōu ngākau ki te mātauranga;

3 āe rā, ki te mea ka kārangarangatia e koe te mātauranga,

ā, ka puaki tōu reo ki te ngākau mōhio;

4 ki te rapua hoki ia e koe ānō he hiriwa,

ki te kimihia ānō he taonga huna –

5 ko reira koe mātau ai ki te wehi o Ihowā,

kite ai i te mōhio ki te Atua.

6 Mā Ihowā hoki e hōmai te whakaaro nui;

nō tōna māngai te mātauranga me te ngākau mōhio.
