He aha te wehi ki a Ihowa? Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te whakaaro nui,
ko te mohio ki te mea tapu ko te matauranga
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te whakaaro nui:
a good understanding have all they that do the Lord’s commandments:
His praise endures for ever
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te timatanga o te matauranga:
e whakahawea ana te wairangi ki te whakaaro nui, ki te ako
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te ako o te whakaaro nui; ko te ngakau whakaiti i mua i te honore
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa ka kino ki te kino: whakahī, me te whakapehapeha, me te ara kino,
ko te mangai pokekore, does God hates
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, ki te mawehe atu i nga mahanga o te mate
Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te ahu ki te ora: a ko te tangata kei a ia tera, ka noho makona;
e kore ia e whiua e te kino
The fear of the Lord prolongs days:
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened
U tonu te whakaaro nui ki te wehi ki a Ihowa:
and his children shall have a place of refuge
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith
Ko te mahi tohu tangata me te pono hei pure mo te kino:
ma te wehi hoki ki a Ihowa ka mawehe atu ai te tangata i te kino
He taonga na te mahaki me te wehi ki a Ihowa, me te whakanui, me te ora
Kei hae tou ngakau ki te hunga hara:
engari kia wehi koe ki a Ihowa, a pau noa te ra.
He pono hoki tera ano te mutunga; e kore ano hoki tau i tumanako ai e hatepea atu
