Proverbs 24
Maori Bible
24 Kei hae koe ki te hunga kino, kaua hoki e hiahia hei hoa mo ratou.
2 Ko ta to ratou ngakau hoki e whakaaro ai, he tukino, ko ta o ratou ngutu e korero ai, he whanoke.
3 Ma te whakaaro nui ka hanga ai te whare, a ma te matauranga ka u ai:
4 Ma te mohio hoki ka ki ai nga ruma i nga taonga utu nui katoa, i nga mea ahuareka.
5 He kaha te tangata whakaaro nui; ae, e whakanuia ana e te tangata mohio te kaha.
6 Na kia pai te ngarahu ina anga koe ki te whawhai: kei te tokomaha hoki o nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro te ora.
7 He tiketike rawa te whakaaro nui mo te wairangi: e kore e kuihi tona mangai i te kuwaha.
8 Ko te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te kino, ka kiia he whanoke.
9 He hara te whakaaro wairangi: he mea whakarihariha ano ki te tangata te tangata whakahi.
10 Ki te ngoikore koe i te ra o te he, he iti tou kaha.
11 Whakaorangia te hunga e kawea atu ana ki te mate, a puritia mai hoki e koe te hunga e meatia ana kia whakamatea.
12 Ki te mea koe, Nana, kihai tenei i mohiotia e matou: kahore ianei te kaipauna ngakau i te whakaaro ki tera? a, ko te kaitiaki o tou wairua, kahore ranei ia e mohio? e kore ranei e homai e ia ki te tangata kia rite ki tana mahi?
13 Kainga, e taku tama, te honi, he pai hoki; me te honikoma, he mea reka hoki ki tou mangai:
14 Ka mohio ai koe ki te whakaaro nui, he mea ki tou wairua: ki te kitea e koe, he tukunga iho ano tona, e kore hoki tau i tumanako ai e hatepea.
15 Kaua, e te tangata kino, e whanga ki te nohoanga o te tangata tika; kei tukino koe ki tona takotoranga.
16 E hinga ana hoki te tangata tika, e whitu hinganga, ka ara ake ano: ka whakataka ia te hunga kino e te he.
17 Kaua e harakoa ki te hinga tou hoariri, kaua hoki tou ngakau e hari ina taka ia:
18 Kei kite a Ihowa, a ka he ki tana titiro, a ka tahuri atu tona riri i a ia.
19 Kei mamae koe, he mea mo nga kaimahi i te kino, kei hae hoki ki te hunga kino.
20 Kahore hoki he mutunga pai ki te tangata kino; ka keto hoki te rama a te hunga kino.
21 E taku tama, e wehi ki a Ihowa, ki te kingi hoki: a, kaua e whakauru noa atu ki te hunga e mea ana ki te whakaputa ke.
22 No te mea ka puta tata te aitua mo ratou: a ko wai ka mohio ki te whakangaromanga o raua tokorua?
23 He whakatauki ano hoki enei na te hunga whakaaro nui. Ehara i te mea pai kia whakaaro ki te kanohi tangata ina whakawa.
24 Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te tangata kino, He tika koe; ka kanga nga iwi ki a ia, ka whakarihariha nga tauiwi ki a ia.
25 Otiia ka koa nga ngakau o te hunga e riria ai tona he, ka tau iho ano hoki te manaaki pai ki runga ki a ratou.
26 Ka kihia e ia nga ngutu e whakahoki ana i nga kupu tika.
27 Meinga kia takoto pai tau mahi i waho, kia rite hoki hei meatanga mau i te mara; muri iho ka hanga i tou whare.
28 Kaua koe e tu hei kaiwhakaatu he mo tou hoa, i te mea kahore he take; a kaua e tinihanga ki ou ngutu.
29 Kaua e ki, Ka meatia ano e ahau ki a ia tana i mea ai ki ahau; ka rite ki ta te tangata mahi taku e whakahoki ai ki a ia.
30 I haere ahau i te taha o te mara a te mangere, i te taha hoki o te mara waina a te tangata kahore ona mahara;
31 Na, kua tupuria katoatia e te tataramoa, kapi tonu te mata o te mara i te ongaonga, a ko to reira taiepa kohatu kua oti te wahi.
32 Katahi ahau ka titiro, ka ata whakaaroaro: ka kite ahau, a ka hopu mai hei ako moku.
33 Kia iti ake nei te wahi e parangia ai, kia iti ake nei te moe, kia iti ake te kotuituitanga o nga ringa ka moe ai:
34 Ka pera te haerenga mai o tou muhore ano he kaipahua; o tou rawakore hoki ano he tangata mau patu.

New International Version
Saying 20
24 Do not envy(A) the wicked,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,(B)
and their lips talk about making trouble.(C)
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built,(D)
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.(E)
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power,
and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.(F)
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!(G)
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.(H)
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs(I) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay(J) everyone according to what they have done?(K)
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(L)
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(M)
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat(N) when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(O)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.(P)
Saying 29
19 Do not fret(Q) because of evildoers
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.(R)
Saying 30
21 Fear the Lord and the king,(S) my son,
and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction(T) on them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:(U)
To show partiality(V) in judging is not good:(W)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”(X)
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause(Y)—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”(Z)
30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(AA)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(AB)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(AC)
