Whakatauki 5

15 Inumia he wai i roto i tāu ake rua,

me ngā wai rere anō i roto i tāu ake poka.

16 Kia tohatoha noa atu koia āu puna wai,

ngā awa wai i ngā huarahi?

17 Waiho ēnā māu anake,

kauaka mā koutou tahi ko ngā tāngata kē.

18 Kia manaakitia tāu puna wai;

kia koa anō koe ki te wahine o tōu taitamarikitanga.

19 Kia rite ia ki taua mea āhuareka, ki te hāta,

ki te mea ātaahua ki te anaterope.

Kia mākona koe i ōna ū i ngā wā katoa,

kia matenuitia tonutia e koe tōna aroha.

20 He aha oti koe, e tāku tama, ka matenui ai ki te wahine kē,

i awhi ai i te uma o te wahine kē?
