| Chapter 2 |
1 | ¶ Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, e tu ou waewae ki runga, a ka korero ahau ki a koe.
|
2 | Na kua tae mai te wairua ki roto ki ahau i tana korerotanga ki ahau, i tana meatanga kia tu oku waewae ki runga; a ka rongo ahau i a ia e korero ana ki ahau.
|
3 | Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ka unga koe e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki nga iwi whakakeke, kua whakakeke nei ki ahau; ko ratou ko o ratou matua kua tutu ki ahau a taea noatia tenei ra nei ano.
|
4 | A ko nga tamariki he whakatoi, he kaki maro; na ka unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, a me ki atu e koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa.
|
5 | Na ko ratou, ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou e kore e rongo, he whare whakakeke hoki ratou, ka mohio, na i roto i a ratou te poropiti e noho ana.
|
6 | ¶ Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, ahakoa he tataramoa, he tumatakuru i tou taha, a e noho ana koe i roto i nga kopiona; kaua e wehi i a ratou kupu, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro mai ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.
|
7 | Me korero ano e koe aku kupu ki a ratou, ma ratou e whakarongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e whakarongo: nui atu hoki to ratou whakakeke.
|
8 | Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, whakarongo ki taku e mea nei ki a koe; Kaua koe e whakakeke, kei rite ki taua whare whakakeke: hamama tou mangai, kainga hoki te mea ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe.
|
9 | Na, i taku tirohanga atu, nana, ko tetahi ringa e totoro mai ana ki ahau; nana, ko tetahi pukapuka i roto i te ringa;
|
10 | Na wherahia ana e ia taua pukapuka ki toku aroaro, he mea tuhituhi a roto, a waho: ko te mea i tuhituhia ki reira he tangi, he uhunga, he aue.
