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.
