Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

112  Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau.

² Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

³ Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake.

⁴ Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika.

⁵ He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.

⁶ E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake.

⁷ E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa.

⁸ Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri.

⁹ Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia.

¹⁰ Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.

24  Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka marena i a ia, na, ki te kore ia e manakohia e ia, no te mea kua kitea e ia tetahi he ona, me tuhituhi e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu ki tona ringa, a ka tono atu i a ia ki waho o tona whare.

² A, ka puta ia i tona whare, ka ahei ia te haere a ka riro hei wahine ma tetahi atu.

³ A, ki te kino to muri tahu ki a ia, a ka tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu hoki ki tona ringa, ka tono atu ano hoki i a ia i roto i tona whare; ki te mate ranei to muri tahu i tango nei i a ia hei wahine mana;

⁴ E kore e ahei i te tahu tuatahi, nana nei ia i tono atu, te tango ano i a ia hei wahine mana i muri i tona whakapokenga; he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kaua ano hoki e mea kia whai hara te whenua i hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou A tua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.

⁵ Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine hou, kaua ia e haere ki te whawhai, kaua ano hoki tetahi mahi e whakaritea mana: me noho noa ia i tona whare kia kotahi tau, whakahari ai i te ngakau o tana wahine i tango ai.

¹⁰ Ko taku whakahau ia tenei ki te hunga whai hoa, ehara i ahau, engari ko te Ariki, Aua te wahine e mawehe ke i tana tane:

¹¹ Engari, ki te mawehe ia, me noho hoakore, me hohou ranei te rongo ki tana tane: kaua hoki te tane e whakarere i tana wahine.

¹² Ki era atu ia ko taku kupu tenei, ehara i te Ariki: Ki te mea he wahine kore whakapono ta tetahi o nga teina, a ka whakaae taua wahine kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarerea e ia.

¹³ A ko te wahine, he tane kore whakapono tana, a ka whakaae kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarere i tana tane.

¹⁴ No te mea e whakatapua ana te tane whakaponokore e te wahine, e whakatapua ana hoki te wahine whakaponokore e te tane: me he kahore, kua poke a korua tamariki, tena ko tenei he tapu ratou.

¹⁵ Ki te mawehe ke ia te whakaponokore, mana e mawehe ke. E kore tetahi teina, tuahine ranei, e mau te here e nga mea pena: otira kua karangatia tatou e te Atua ki te rangimarie.

¹⁶ Ma te aha koe e mohio ai, e tai, ka ora ranei i a koe tau tane? a koe ranei, e te tane, ma te aha ka mohio ai, ka ora i a koe tau wahine?
