Whakatauki 31

25 He kaha, he hōnore ōna kākahu;

ā, e kata ana ia ki ngā rā ō muri atu.

26 He nui ōna whakaaro ina puaki tōna māngai;

kei tōna arero te ture o te atawhai.

27 Ka āta tirohia e ia ngā ara o tōna whare,

e kore anō ia e kai i te taro o te māngere.

28 Ka whakatika āna tamariki, ā, he kupu manaaki tā rātou mōna;

tāna tāne hoki, ka whakamoemiti anō ia ki a ia, ka mea:

29 "He tokomaha ngā tamāhine i ū te pai o tā rātou mahi,

otiia, hira ake tāu i ā rātou katoa."

30 He mea teka noa te manako, he mea horihori te ātaahua;

tēnā ko te wahine e wehi ana i a Ihowā, ko ia e whakamoemititia.
