Proverbs 27
Maori Bible
27 Kei whakamanamana koe ki te ra apopo; kahore hoki koe e mohio ko te aha e puta mai i roto i te ra.
2 Ma tetahi atu tangata te whakamoemiti mou, kaua ma tou mangai ake; ma te tangata ke, kaua ma ou ngutu ake.
3 He taimaha te kohatu, he taimaha ano te kirikiri; he taimaha atu ia i a raua tahi te pukuriri o te wairangi.
4 He mea nanakia te riri, he rutaki te aritarita; ko wai ia e tu i mua i te hae?
5 He pai ke te riri matanui i te aroha huna.
6 Ko nga patu a te hoa aroha he mea na te pono: ko nga kihi ia a te hoariri auau rawa.
7 E ngaruru ana te wairua makona ki te honikoma: engari ki te wairua hiakai, reka kau nga mea kawa katoa.
8 Rite tonu ki te manu e atiutiu noa atu ana i tona kohanga te tangata e atiutiu noa atu ana i tona wahi.
9 He whakahari ngakau te hinu me te whakakakara; he pera ano nga ahuareka o to te tangata hoa aroha i ahu mai i nga tikanga mateoha i whakatakotoria e tona ngakau.
10 Ko tou hoa aroha ake, a ko te hoa hoki o tou papa, kaua e whakarerea; kaua hoki e haere ki te whare o tou tuakana i te ra e mate ai koe: he pai ke hoki te hoa e tata ana i te tuakana i tawhiti.
11 E taku tama, kia whakaaro nui, kia koa ai toku ngakau, kia whakahoki kupu ai hoki ahau ki te hunga e tawai ana ki ahau.
12 E kite atu ana te tangata tupato i te he, a ka huna i a ia: tena ko te kuware, haere tonu atu, mamae tonu atu.
13 Tangohia te kakahu o te kaiwhakakapi mo te tangata ke; tona taunaha ano hoki mo ta te wahine ke.
14 Ko te tangata e maranga ana i te atatu, he nui hoki tona reo ki te manaaki i tona hoa ka kiia tana he kanga.
15 He maturuturu e puputu tonu ana i te ra nui te ua, he wahine ngangare, rite tonu raua:
16 Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te pehi i a ia, e mea ana ki te pehi i te hau, a ka tutaki tona ringa matau ki te hinu.
17 Ko te rino hei whakakoi mo te rino; waihoki ko te tangata ano hei whakakoi i te mata o tona hoa.
18 Ko te kaitiaki o te piki, ka kai i ona hua: ka whakahonoretia te tangata e whakaaro ana ki tona rangatira.
19 He pera i te wai, tiro atu, tiro mai he kanohi, ka pena ano to te tangata ngakau ki te tangata.
20 Ko te reinga, ko te whakangaromanga, e kore e makona; e kore ano hoki e makona nga kanohi o te tangata.
21 Ko te oko tahu para mo te hiriwa, ko te oumu mo te koura; a, ko te whakanui i a ia, hei whakamatautau mo te tangata.
22 Ahakoa i tukua e koe te wairangi ki te tuki i roto i te kumete i waenga i nga witi pepe, e kore tona whakaarokore e riro.
23 Kia anga nui koa kia mohio ki te ahua o au hipi, a kia pai te tiaki i au kahui kau:
24 E kore hoki te taonga e mau tonu; e mau ianei te karauna ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?
25 Kua whaiti te hei, e kitea ana te tupu hou, a e kohikohia ana nga otaota o nga maunga.
26 Hei mea kakahu mou nga reme, a koe nga koati hei utu mo te mara.
27 A tera te waiu koati, he nui noa atu hei kai mau, hei kai hoki ma tou whare, hei oranga ano hoki mo au kotiro.
Proverbs 27
New International Version
Proverbs 27
New International Version
2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;
an outsider, and not your own lips.(C)
3 Stone is heavy and sand(D) a burden,
but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,
but who can stand before jealousy?(E)
5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.(F)
7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8 Like a bird that flees its nest(G)
is anyone who flees from home.
9 Perfume(H) and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of a friend
springs from their heartfelt advice.
10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster(I) strikes you—
better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;(J)
then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.(K)
12 The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.(L)
13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.(M)
14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse.
15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping(N)
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,(O)
and whoever protects their master will be honored.(P)
19 As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.[a]
21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,(S)
but people are tested by their praise.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.
23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,(T)
give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,(U)
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family
and to nourish your female servants.
