1. Na mo nga mea i tuhituhi mai na koutou: he mea pai ano mo te tangata kia kaua e pa ki te wahine.
2. Otiia, he whakaaro kei moepuku, kia rite ma te tane he wahine mana ake, a ma te wahine he tane mana ake.
3. Kia puta te whakaaro pai o te tane ki te wahine, hei te mea e tika ana: me to te wahine hoki ki te tane.
4. Ehara te wahine i te rangatira o tona tinana ake, engari te tane: me te tane ano, ehara ia i te rangatira o tona ake tinana, engari te wahine.
5. Kaua e kaiponu tetahi i tetahi; haunga ia ki te ata whakaritea mo tetahi wa, kia atea ai korua ki te nohopuku, ki te inoi, ka hoki ai ano ki a korua, kei ai to korua hiahia taikaha hei whakawai ma Hatana i a korua.
6. Otira ko tenei korero aku he mea whakaae noa, ehara i te tikanga whakatakoto.
7. Ko taku ia i pai ai, kia penei nga tangata katoa i ahau nei. Otira e homai ana e te Atua te ahua mona ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, ki tetahi ko tenei, ki tetahi ko tera.
8. Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki nga takakau, ki nga wahine pouaru, He mea pai mo ratou kia kati tonu me ahau nei.
9. Otira ki te kore e taea e raua te whakamanawanui, me marena: he pai ake hoki te marena i te kaka o te ngakau.
10. Ko taku whakahau ia tenei ki te hunga whai hoa, ehara i ahau, engari ko te Ariki, Aua te wahine e mawehe ke i tana tane:
11. Engari, ki te mawehe ia, me noho hoakore, me hohou ranei te rongo ki tana tane: kaua hoki te tane e whakarere i tana wahine.
12. Ki era atu ia ko taku kupu tenei, ehara i te Ariki: Ki te mea he wahine kore whakapono ta tetahi o nga teina, a ka whakaae taua wahine kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarerea e ia.
13. A ko te wahine, he tane kore whakapono tana, a ka whakaae kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarere i tana tane.
14. No te mea e whakatapua ana te tane whakaponokore e te wahine, e whakatapua ana hoki te wahine whakaponokore e te tane: me he kahore, kua poke a korua tamariki, tena ko tenei he tapu ratou.
15. Ki te mawehe ke ia te whakaponokore, mana e mawehe ke. E kore tetahi teina, tuahine ranei, e mau te here e nga mea pena: otira kua karangatia tatou e te Atua ki te rangimarie.
16. Ma te aha koe e mohio ai, e tai, ka ora ranei i a koe tau tane? a koe ranei, e te tane, ma te aha ka mohio ai, ka ora i a koe tau wahine?
17. Heoi anake, kia rite ki ta te Atua tuwahanga ki tena, ki tena, ki tana karangatanga hoki ki tena, ki tena, kia pera tana haere. Na ko taku whakatakoto tena i roto i nga hahi katoa.
18. He mea kokoti tetahi i tona karangatanga? kaua e whakakahoretia tona kotinga. He mea kokotikore tetahi i tona karangatanga? kaua a e kotia.
19. He mea kore noa iho te kotinga, he mea kore noa iho ano te kotingakore, engari ia te pupuri i a te Atua ture.
20. Kia mau ia tangata ki tona karangatanga, i karangatia ai ia.
21. He pononga koe i tou karangatanga? kaua e manukanuka: otira ki te watea he haerenga noatanga atu mou, e pena.
22. Ko te tangata hoki he pononga i tona karangatanga i roto i te Ariki, he tangata tuku noa ia na te Ariki: waihoki ko te tangata ehara nei i te pononga i tona karangatanga, he pononga ia na te Karaiti.
23. Kua oti koutou te hoko ki te utu; aua e meinga hei pononga koutou ma te tangata.
24. E oku teina, ko te mahi a tenei, a tenei, i tona karangatanga kia mau ia ki tena me te whakaaro ano ki te Atua.
25. Na mo nga wahine, kahore a te Ariki tikanga ki ahau; tenei ia toku whakaaro, ara to te tangata i a ia nei to te Ariki atawhai, i pono ai.
26. Na reira ki toku whakaaro he pai tenei mo te whakararu o tenei wa, ara he pai kia kati tonu te tangata i a ia nei.
27. Kua herea koe ki te wahine? kaua e whai kia wetekia. Ka oti koe te wewete i te wahine? kaua e whaia he wahine.
28. Otiia ki te marena koe, kahore ou hara; a ki te marena te wahine, kahore ona hara. Otiia tera e pa mai he whakararu i te kikokiko ki taua hunga pena: heoi me ata hanga ahau ki a koutou.
29. Ko taku kupu ia tenei, e oku teina, e tutata ana te wa: heoi inaianei tera e rite te hunga whai wahine ki te hunga kahore nei a ratou;
30. Me te hunga e tangi ana, ano kahore ratou i te tangi; me te hunga e hari ana, ano kahore ratou i te hari; me te hunga e hoko ana, ano kahore a ratou taonga;
31. Me te hunga i a ratou tenei ao, ano kahore a ratou he ki te ao; e memeha haere ana hoki te ahua o tenei ao.
32. Otiia ko taku mea tenei kia kaua koutou e manukanuka. Ko ta te takakau e manukanuka ai ko nga mea a te Ariki, me pehea tana whakamanawareka ki te Ariki:
33. Ko te tangata whai hoa ia, e manukanuka ana ki nga mea o te ao, me pehea tana whakamanawareka ki tana wahine.
34. Na tera ano te mea i rereke ai te wahine whai hoa i te wahine. Ko te wahine takakau, tana e manukanuka ai ko nga mea a te Ariki, kia tapu tahi ai te tinana me te wairua: ko te wahine whai hoa ia ka manukanuka ki nga mea o te ao, me pehea tana wh akamanawareka ki tana tane.
35. Ko tenei korero aku he mea kia hua ai he pai mo koutou ano; ehara i te mea kia mahangatia ai koutou, engari mo te mea e haratau ana, kia u ai koutou ki te Ariki, kahore he mea hei rorona ke.
36. Na, ki te whakaaro tetahi tangata e he ana tana tikanga ki tana wahine, mehemea kua pahure tona taiohinga, a heoi ano tikanga, mana e mea tana e pai ai, kahore ona hara: me marena raua.
37. Ko te tangata ia e u ana i tona ngakau, a kahore he mea hei akiaki i a ia, kei a ia ake ano te tikanga mo tana e pai ai, a kua oti tenei te whakatakoto e tona ngakau, kia waiho tana wahine, kei te pai tana mahi.
38. Na he pai te mahi a te tangata e tuku ana kia marenatia tana wahine; pai ake ia te mahi a te tangata kahore e tuku kia marenatia.
39. E herea ana te wahine e te ture i te mea e ora ana tana tane; ki te mate ia te tane, kua watea ia ki te marena ki tana e pai ai; otira i roto i te Ariki.
40. Ki toku whakaaro ia, nui ke atu tona hari ki te kati tonu ia: a ki taku mahara kei ahau ano hoki te Wairua o te Atua.
