1 ¶ Na Rawiri: he Makiri. Ka hari te tangata kua oti tana he te muru, tona hara te hipoki.2 Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e whakairia e Ihowa he hara ki a ia, a kahore he hianga i tona wairua.3 I ahau kihai i kuihi, ngahengahe kau oku iwi i taku auetanga i te ra roa.4 No tou ringa i taimaha ki ahau i te ao, i te po; kua whakaputaina ketia toku makukuranga, ano na te maroketanga o te raumati. (Hera.5 I whakina e ahau toku hara ki a koe, kihai hoki i huna i toku kino: i mea ahau, Ka whakina aku mahi tutu ki a Ihowa; a murua ana e koe te kino o toku hara. (Hera.6 Mo konei ka inoi ki a koe nga tangata tapu katoa i te wa e kitea ai koe: he pono ka ngawha nga wai nui, e kore e tata ki a ia.

7 ¶ Ko koe toku piringa; mau ahau e whakaora i te pouri, mau ahau e karapoti ki nga waiata whakaora. (Hera.8 Ka tohutohungia koe e ahau, ka whakaakona koe ki te ara e haere ai koe; ma toku kanohi koe e arahi.9 Kei rite koutou ki te hoiho, ki te muera ranei, kahore nei he matauranga; he mea kuku nei o raua kauae ki te paraire, ki te moka hei pupuri mai; ki te kore hoki, e kore e tata ki a koe.10 He tini nga mea whakapouri mo te tangata hara: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa, ka karapotia e te atawhai.11 Kia koa ki a Ihowa, whakamanamana, e te hunga tika: kia hari, hamama, e te hunga ngakau tika katoa.
