Proverbs 14
Maori Bible
14 Ko ta te wahine whakaaro nui he hanga i tona whare; ko ta te wahine wairangi, ko ona ringa hei wahi iho.
2 Ko te tangata e haere ana i runga i tona tika, e wehi ana i a Ihowa; ko te tangata he parori ki ona ara e whakahawea ana ki i ia.
3 Kei te mangai o te wairangi he patu whakapehapeha; ma nga ngutu ia o te hunga whakaaro nui ratou ka ora ai.
4 Ki te kahore he kau, ka ma te takotoranga kai; ma te kaha ia o te kau ka nui ai nga hua.
5 E kore te kaiwhakaatu pono e teka; ka puaki ia te teka i te kaiwhakaatu teka.
6 E rapu ana te tangata whakahi i te whakaaro nui, heoi kahore e kitea e ia; ki te tangata matau ia he mama noa te matauranga.
7 Haere atu ki te aroaro o te kuware, ina kahore e kitea e koe he ngutu matau ona.
8 Ko te whakaaro nui o te tangata tupato, he matau ki tona ara; ko te wairangi o nga kuware, he tinihanga.
9 Ko ta nga wairangi he kata ki te he: na kei te hunga tika te whakaaro pai.
10 E mohio ana te ngakau ki tona ake mamae, e kore ano hoki tona koa e pikitia e te tangata ke.
11 Ka whakangaromia te whare o te hunga kino: ka tupu ia te teneti o te hunga tika.
12 He huarahi ano tera e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro, ko tona mutunga ia ko nga huarahi ki te mate.
13 Ahakoa e kata ana, e mamae ana te ngakau; a, ko te mutunga o te koa, he pouri.
14 Ko te tangata i te ngakau tahuri ke, ka makona i ona ara ake: a ko te tangata pai ka makona i tana ake ano.
15 Ko ta te kuware he whakapono ki nga kupu katoa; tena ko te tangata tupato, ka ata titiro ki tana hikoi.
16 E wehi ana te tangata whakaaro nui, ka neke atu i te kino; ko te kuware ia ka whakahi, ka tohe.
17 Ko te tangata riri wawe ka mahi i te wairangi; ka kinongia ano hoki te tangata i nga rauhanga kino.
18 He wairangi te whakarerenga iho mo nga kuware; ko te tangata tupato ia ka karaunatia ki te matauranga.
19 E piko ana te hunga kino ki te aroaro o te hunga pai; a ko te hunga he ki nga kuwaha o te tangata tika.
20 E kinongia ana te rawakore e tona hoa ake nei ano; he tokomaha ia nga tangata e aroha ana ki te tangata taonga.
21 Ko te tangata e whakahawea ana ki tona hoa, e hara ana; ko te tangata ia e atawhai ana ki nga rawakore, ka hari.
22 He teka ianei e kotiti ke ana nga kaiwhakatakoto i te kino? He atawhai ia, he pono, kei nga kaihanga i te pai.
23 He hua to nga mauiuitanga katoa; tena ko te korero o nga ngutu e ahu ana ki te rawakore.
24 Hei karauna mo nga whakaaro nui o ratou taonga; ko te wairangi ia o nga kuware, he wairangi kau.
25 Ka ora nga wairua i te kaiwhakaatu pono: ko te tangata korero teka ia e mea ana kia tinihanga.
26 U tonu, kaha tonu te whakaaro ina wehi ki a Ihowa; ka whai rerenga atu ano hoki ana tamariki.
27 He puna ora te wehi ki a Ihowa, e mahue ai nga reti o te mate.
28 Ma te nui o te iwi ka whai honore ai te kingi; ma te kore o te iwi ka taka ai te rangatira.
29 He matauranga nui to te tangata manawanui; ko te tangata riri wawe ia, e whakaneke ake ana ia i te wairangi.
30 He ora ki nga kikokiko te ngakau ora; ko te hae ia, he pirau ki nga wheua.
31 Ko te tangata e tukino ana i te ware, he tawai tana ki tona Kaihanga; ko te tangata ia e atawhai ana i te rawakore, e whakahonore ana i a ia.
32 E uakina iho ana te tangata kino i runga i tona he; ko te tangata tika ia ka whai tumanakohanga i tona matenga.
33 Ka noho te whakaaro nui ki te ngakau o te tangata matau; engari ko te mea kei te wahi ki roto o nga kuware e whakaaturia ana.
34 Ma te tika ka kake ai te iwi; ma te hara ia ka ingoa kino ai nga iwi.
35 Ka manako te kingi ki te pononga mahara; a ka riri ki te tangata i takea ai te whakama.
Proverbs 14
New International Version
Proverbs 14
New International Version
14 The wise woman builds her house,(A)
but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
2 Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,
but those who despise him are devious in their ways.
4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty,
but from the strength of an ox(D) come abundant harvests.
5 An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.(E)
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.(F)
7 Stay away from a fool,
for you will not find knowledge on their lips.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,(G)
but the folly of fools is deception.(H)
9 Fools mock at making amends for sin,
but goodwill is found among the upright.
10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy.
13 Even in laughter(M) the heart may ache,
and rejoicing may end in grief.
15 The simple believe anything,
but the prudent give thought to their steps.(P)
17 A quick-tempered person(S) does foolish things,(T)
and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.(U)
18 The simple inherit folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 Evildoers will bow down in the presence of the good,
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.(V)
20 The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends.(W)
22 Do not those who plot evil go astray?(Z)
But those who plan what is good find[a] love and faithfulness.
23 All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.
24 The wealth of the wise is their crown,
but the folly of fools yields folly.(AA)
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.(AB)
26 Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress,(AC)
and for their children it will be a refuge.(AD)
28 A large population is a king’s glory,
but without subjects a prince is ruined.(AG)
29 Whoever is patient has great understanding,(AH)
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.(AI)
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.(AJ)
31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,(AK)
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.(AL)
32 When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down,(AM)
but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.(AN)
33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning(AO)
and even among fools she lets herself be known.[b]
34 Righteousness exalts a nation,(AP)
but sin condemns any people.
35 A king delights in a wise servant,
but a shameful servant arouses his fury.(AQ)
