Proverbs 6
Maori Bible
6 E taku tama, ki te mea ko tau hei whakakapi mo ta tou hoa, ki te mea kua papaki tou ringa mo te tangata ke,
2 Kua oti koe te mahanga e nga kupu a tou mangai, kua mau koe i nga kupu a tou mangai.
3 Meinga tenei inaianei, e taku tama, kia ora ai koe, he mea hoki kua taka koe ki roto ki te ringa o tou hoa; haere whakaiti i a koe, a ka tohe ki tou hoa.
4 Kei tukua iho te moe ki ou kanohi; kei tunewha ou kamo.
5 Whakaora i a koe ano he anaterope i roto i te ringa o te kaiwhai, ano he manu i roto i te ringa o te kaihopu.
6 Haere ki te popokorua, e te tangata mangere, matakitakina iho ona ara, kia nui ai ou whakaaro:
7 Kahore nei ona kaitohutohu, ona kaitirotiro, ona rangatira,
8 Heoi e mahi kai ana mana i te raumati, e kohikohi ana i te kai mana i te kotinga witi.
9 Kia pehea ake te roa o tau takoto, e te tangata mangere? A hea koe maranga ai i tau moe?
10 Kia iti ake nei te wahi e parangia ai, kia iti ake nei te moe, kia iti ake te kotuinga o nga ringa i a koe e takoto na:
11 Na ka rite ki te kaipahua te putanga mai o te muhore ki a koe, tou rawakore, ano he tangata he patu nei tana.
12 Ko te tangata kahore ona painga, ko te tangata hara, e haereere ana me te mangai tu ke;
13 E whakakini ana ona kanohi, e korero ana ona waewae, e tuhi ana ona maihao;
14 Kei roto te whanoke i tona ngakau, e whakatakoto ana ia i te kino i nga wa katoa; e rui ana ia i te ngangare.
15 Mo reira ka huaki tata te aitua ki a ia; e kore e aha ka whatiia ia, te taea te rongoa.
16 E ono nga mea e kino ana ki a Ihowa; ae ra, e whitu nga mea e whakariharihangia ana e ia:
17 Ko te kanohi whakakake, ko te arero teka, ko nga ringa whakaheke i te toto harakore;
18 He ngakau e whakatakoto ana i nga whakaaro kikino, he waewae e hohoro ana te rere ki te hianga;
19 He kaiwhakaatu teka e korero teka ana, ko te tangata hoki e rui ana i te ngangare ki waenganui i nga tuakana, i nga teina.
20 E taku tama, puritia te whakahau a tou papa, kaua hoki e whakarerea te ture a tou whaea:
21 Kia mau tonu te takai ki tou ngakau, heia ki tou kaki.
22 Ko tou kaiarahi ano tera ina haere koe; mana koe e tiaki ina takoto koe; ka korero mai ano ki a koe; ina ara koe.
23 He rama hoki te whakahau; a he marama te ture; ko nga riringa hoki, e whakaako ana, he ara ki te ora;
24 Hei tiaki i a koe kei he i te wahine kino, i te whakapati a te arero o te wahine ke.
25 Kei hiahia koe ki tona ataahua i roto i tou ngakau; kei mau ano koe i ona kamo.
26 Ko te tukunga iho o te tangata he wahi taro, he mea mo te wahine kairau; ko ta te wahine purema e whai ana ko te wairua utu nui.
27 E taea ranei e te tangata te tango i te ahi ki roto ki tona uma, a e kore ona kakahu e wera?
28 E taea ranei e tetahi te haere i runga i nga waro ratarata, a e kore ona waewae e hunua?
29 Ka pera ano te tangata e haere ana ki te wahine a tona hoa; e kore e kore ka whiua te tangata e pa ana ki a ia.
30 E kore e whakahaweatia e te tangata te tahae, ki te tahaetia e ia he mea e makona ai tona wairua i a hiakai ia.
31 Otiia ki te kitea ia, kia takiwhitu ana e whakautu ai; me homai e ia nga rawa katoa o tona whare.
32 Ko te tangata e puremu ana ki te wahine, kahore ona mohio: ko te tangata e pera ana, kei te whakangaro ia i tona wairua.
33 He kaiakiko, he whakama te wahi mona; e kore ano tona ingoa kino e horoia atu.
34 He riri nui hoki na te tangata te hae; e kore ano e tohungia e ia i te ra rapu utu.
35 E kore ia e manako ki tetahi utu; e kore hoki e tatu tona ngakau, ahakoa he nui au hakari e tapae ai.

Warnings Against Folly
6 My son,(A) if you have put up security(B) for your neighbor,(C)
if you have shaken hands in pledge(D) for a stranger,
2 you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—[a]
and give your neighbor no rest!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.(E)
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle(F) from the hand of the hunter,(G)
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.(H)
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;(I)
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer(J)
and gathers its food at harvest.(K)
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?(L)
When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(M)—
11 and poverty(N) will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
12 A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks maliciously with his eye,(O)
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,(P)
14 who plots evil(Q) with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.(R)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;(S)
he will suddenly(T) be destroyed—without remedy.(U)
16 There are six things the Lord hates,(V)
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,(W)
a lying tongue,(X)
hands that shed innocent blood,(Y)
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,(Z)
19 a false witness(AA) who pours out lies(AB)
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.(AC)
Warning Against Adultery
20 My son,(AD) keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(AE)
21 Bind them always on your heart;
fasten them around your neck.(AF)
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(AG)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(AH)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(AI)
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.(AJ)
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps(AK) with another man’s wife;(AL)
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,(AM)
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32 But a man who commits adultery(AN) has no sense;(AO)
whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never(AP) be wiped away.

- Proverbs 6:3 Or Go and humble yourself,
Proverbs 6
King James Version
Proverbs 6
King James Version
6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
