Whakatauki 5

3 Ko ngā ngutu hoki o te wahine kē, kei te māturuturunga iho o te honikoma,

ngāwari iho tōna māngai i te hinu;

4 he kawa rawa hoki tōna mutunga i te taru kawa,

he koi, ānō he hoari matarua.

5 Ko ōna waewae e heke ana ki te mate;

mau pū te rēinga i ōna takahanga.

6 Heoi, kāhore i kitea e ia te ara tōtika ki te ora;

he kotiti kē ōna ara, ā, kāhore ia i tē mātau.

7 Nā reira, e āku tamariki, whakarongo mai ki ahau,

kei mahue hoki ngā kupu a tōku māngai.

8 Kia matara tōu ara i a ia,

kaua hoki e tata ki te tatau o tōna whare;

9 kei hoatu tōu hōnore ki ngā tāngata kē,

ōu tau ki te hunga nanakia.
