Chapter 112

¹ Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Ka hari te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa, e aro nui ana ki ana whakahau. ²Ka nui ona uri ki runga ki te whenua; ka manaakitia te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika. ³Kei tona whare te rawa, te taonga: ka pumau tonu tona tika, ake ake. ⁴Ka maea ake te marama i roto i te pouri ki te hunga tika: he atawhai ia, he aroha, he tika. ⁵He pono ka whiwhi painga te tangata he atawhai, he ohaoha tana mahi: ka u ana kupu i te whakawakanga.

⁶ E kore hoki ia e whakangaueuetia ake ake: ka maharatia tonutia te tangata tika ake ake. ⁷E kore ia e mataku i te rongo kino: e u ana tona ngakau, e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa. ⁸Ka u tona ngakau, e kore ia e wehi, kia kite ra ano ia i tana i hiahia ai ki ona hoariri. ⁹Kua tuwhaina e ia, kua hoatu ki te hunga rawakore: pumau tonu tona tika ake ake; ka ara tona haona i runga i te kororia. ¹⁰Ka kite te tangata kino, a ka pouri; ka pakiri ona niho, memeha iho: pirau iho te hiahia o te hunga kino.
