Proverbs 12
Maori Bible
12 Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki te kupu ako e aroha ana ki te matauranga; na, ko te tangata e kore e pai kia riria tona he, he poauau tera.
2 Ko te tangata pai ka whiwhi ki ta Ihowa whakapai; otiia ka whakahengia e ia te tangata ngarahu kino.
3 E kore ta te tangata e u i te kino: na, ko te pakiaka o te hunga tika, e kore tera e whakakorikoria.
4 He wahine e u ana tona pai, hei karauna tera ki tana tane; tena ko te wahine i whakama ai ia, hei pirau tera i roto i ona wheua.
5 Ko nga whakaaro o te hunga tika he tika: ko nga whakaaro ia o te hunga kino he tinihanga.
6 Ko nga kupu a te hunga kino e mea ana kia tauwhanga i te toto: ma te mangai ia o te hunga tika ratou ka ora ai.
7 Ka hurihia iho te hunga kino, a kore iho; ko te whare ia o te hunga tika ka tu tonu.
8 Ka rite ki tona ngarahu te whakamoemiti mo te tangata; ko te ngakau parori ki ia ka whakahaweatia.
9 Ko te tangata e whakahaweatia ana, he pononga nei tana, pai ake ia i te tangata e whakanui ana i a ia ano, a kahore ana kai.
10 Ko te tangata tika e whakaaro ana ia ki te ora o tana kararehe; he nanakia ia nga mahi atawhai a te hunga kino.
11 Ko te tangata e mahi ana i tona oneone ka makona ia i te taro; tena ko te tangata e whai ana i te hunga tekateka noa, kahore ona ngakau mahara.
12 Ko ta te tangata kino e minamina ai ko te kupenga a te hunga kino; e whai hua ana ia te pakiaka o te hunga tika.
13 Ka mau te tangata kino i te pokanga ketanga o ona ngutu; ka puta mai ia te tangata tika i roto i te raru.
14 Ma nga hua o tona mangai ka makona ai te tangata i te pai; ka riro mai ano i te tangata nga utu o ta ona ringa.
15 He tika tonu ki ona kanohi ake te ara o te kuware: e whakarongo ana ia te tangata whakaaro nui ki te kupu whakatupato.
16 Ko te kuware, e mohiotia wawetia ana tona riri: e hipokina ana ia te whakama e te tangata ngarahu tupato.
17 Ko ta te tangata korero pono he whakapuaki i te tika; ko ta te kaiwhakaatu teka ia he tinihanga.
18 He tangata ano ko ana korero maka noa, me te mea ko nga werohanga a te hoari; he rongoa ia te arero o te hunga whakaaro nui.
19 Ka u tonu te ngutu pono a ake ake; mo naianei kau ia te arero teka.
20 He tinihanga kei roto i te ngakau o nga kaitito i te kino; he koa ia to nga kaiwhakatakoto korero e mau ai te rongo.
21 E kore tetahi kino e pa ki te tangata tika; engari te hunga kino ka ki i te kino.
22 He mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowa nga ngutu teka; ko tana e ahuareka ai ko nga kaimahi i te pono.
23 Hipoki ai te tangata tupato i te matauranga: e karanga nui ana ia te ngakau o nga kuware i te kuwaretanga.
24 Mo te ringa o nga uaua te kingitanga; hei homai takoha ia te mangere.
25 Ma te pouri i roto i te ngakau o te tangata e piko ai ia: ma te kupu pai ia ka marama ai.
26 Hira ake te tangata tika i tona hoa; te hunga kino ia ka whakapohehetia e to ratou ara ano.
27 Kahore te tangata mangere e tunu i tana mea i hopu ai: ma te tangata uaua ia te taonga utu nui a nga tangata.
28 He ora kei te ara o te tika; kahore hoki he mate i tona ara.
Proverbs 12
New International Version
Proverbs 12
New International Version
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.(A)
3 No one can be established through wickedness,
but the righteous cannot be uprooted.(D)
4 A wife of noble character(E) is her husband’s crown,
but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.(F)
5 The plans of the righteous are just,
but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the speech of the upright rescues them.(G)
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped(J) mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(K)
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(L)
12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
but the root of the righteous endures.
14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,(O)
and the work of their hands brings them reward.(P)
17 An honest witness tells the truth,
but a false witness tells lies.(V)
19 Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.(Y)
21 No harm overtakes the righteous,(Z)
but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
24 Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor.(AF)
25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,(AG)
but a kind word cheers it up.
26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.(AH)
27 The lazy do not roast[a] any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
28 In the way of righteousness there is life;(AI)
along that path is immortality.
