5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,

"My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord,

nor faint when you are reproved by him;

6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines,

and chastises every son whom he receives."

7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children. 9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. 11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

5 A kua wareware koutou ki te kupu whakahau e korero nei ki a koutou, me te mea he tama koutou, E taku tama, kaua e whakahawea ki ta te Ariki papaki; kei ngakaukore hoki ina riria e ia:

6 E papaki ana hoki te Ariki ki tana e aroha ai, e whiua ana hoki e ia nga tama katoa e whakatamarikitia ana ki a ia.

7 Hei pakinga ta koutou e manawanui ai; e rite ana ta te Atua meatanga ki a koutou ki tana ki nga tama tupu; ko wai hoki te tama e kore e pakia e tona papa?

8 Ki te kahore ia o koutou pakinga, te mea e whakawhiwhia ana ki te katoa, he poriro koutou, ehara i te tama.

9 Tetahi, he matua ano o tatou no te wahi ki te kikokiko, he mea papaki tatou na ratou; i hopohopo ano tatou ki a ratou: kaua ianei e nui noa atu to tatou ngohengohe ki te Matua o nga wairua, kia ora ai?

10 Ko ta ratou papaki hoki he torutoru nei nga ra, he mea ano na ta ratou ake i whakaaro ai; ko ta tenei ia hei pai mo tatou, kia whiwhi ai tatou ki tona tapu.

11 Ko nga pakinga katoa, e kore e kiia inaianei hei whakahari, engari hei whakapouri: muri iho ia ka puta mai te hua rangimarie o te tika, ki te hunga e whakamahia ana ki taua mea.
