Tiago 4

He Whakatūpato mō te Whakamanamana

13 Tēnā, e te hunga e mea nei, "Hei āianei, hei āpōpō, ka haere mātou ki te pā rā, ā, ka noho ki reira, kia kotahi tau, ka hokohoko, ka whiwhi ki te taonga!" 14 Kāhore nā hoki koutou e mātau ki ngā mea o āpōpō. He aha oti tō koutou ora? He kohu rā, he iti nei te wā e puta mai ai, ā, kua memeha atu. 15 Te mea rā koutou, "Ki te pai te Ariki, ā, ka ora mātou, ka mea i tēnei mea, i tērā mea rānei." 16 Tēnei ia koutou te whakamanamana nei ki ā koutou kupu whakaputa; he kino taua tū whakamanamana katoa.

17 Nā, ko te tangata e mātau ana ki te mea i te pai, ā, kāhore e meatia e ia he hara tērā nōna.
