| 1. | Tena ra, whakarongo, e Hopa, ki aku korero, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu katoa. |
| 2. | Nana, kua puaki nei toku mangai, kei te korero toku arero i roto i toku mangai. |
| 3. | Ma aku kupu e whakapuaki te tika o toku ngakau; ka korero pono oku ngutu i ta ratou e matau ana. |
| 4. | He mea hanga ahau na te Wairua o te Atua, a na te manawa o te Kaha Rawa ahau i whai ora ai. |
| 5. | Ki te taea e koe, whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau; whakatikaia au korero ki toku aroaro, e tu ki runga. |
| 6. | Nana, ko toku anga ki te Atua he pena hoki i tau; he mea hanga nei ano hoki ahau ki te paru. |
| 7. | Nana, e kore te wehi ki ahau e whakawehi i a koe; e kore ano hoki toku ringa e taimaha iho ki a koe. |
| 8. | He pono kua hakiri oku taringa ki au kupu, a kua rongo atu ahau i te reo o au kupu, e mea ana, |
| 9. | He ma ahau, kahore oku he; he harakore ahau, kahore hoki he kino i roto i ahau: |
| 10. | Na e rapu ana ia i te take riri ki ahau, e kiia ana ahau e ia he hoariri nona; |
| 11. | E karapitia ana e ia oku waewae ki te rakau, e ata titiro ana ia ki oku hikoinga katoa. |
| 12. | Nana, maku e whawhati tau kupu, ehara tenei mea au i te mea tika; nui atu hoki te Atua i te tangata. |
| 13. | He aha koe i totohe ai ki a ia? E kore hoki e korerotia e ia te tikanga o tetahi o ana mea. |
| 14. | Kotahi hoki, ae ra, e rua korerotanga a te Atua, otiia kahore e maharatia e te tangata. |
| 15. | I te moe, i te putanga moemoea mai o te po, ina au iho te moe o te tangata, i nga moenga i runga i te takotoranga; |
| 16. | Ko reira ia whakapuare ai i nga taringa o nga tangata, hiri ai hoki i te ako mo ratou; |
| 17. | Kia whakanekehia ai te tangata i tana whakaaro, kia hipokina ai hoki te whakapehapeha o te tangata; |
| 18. | E puritia ana e ia tona wairua kei tae ki te rua, tona ora kei riro i te hoari. |
| 19. | E whiua ana hoki ia ki te mamae i runga i tona moenga, ki te ngau tonu hoki o ona wheua; |
| 20. | A whakarihariha ana tona ora ki te taro, tona wairua ki te kai whakaminamina. |
| 21. | E honia ana ona kiko, a kore noa e kitea; a purero mai ana ona wheua kihai nei i kitea i mua. |
| 22. | Heoi e whakatata ana tona wairua ki te rua, tona ora ki nga kaiwhakamate. |
| 23. | Ki te mea he karere tera kei a ia, he kaiwhakaatu tikanga tetahi i roto i te mano, hei whakaatu i tona tika ki te tangata: |
| 24. | Na ka tohu tera i a ia, a ka mea, Whakaorangia ia kei heke ki te rua, kua kitea hoki e ahau he utu. |
| 25. | Ko tona kiri ka ngawari atu i to te tamaiti; ka hoki iho ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga: |
| 26. | Ka inoi ia ki te Atua, a ka manako tera ki a ia; heoi ka kite ia i tona mata i runga i te koa: a ka utua e ia te tika o te tangata. |
| 27. | E waiata ana ia i te aroaro o nga tangata, e mea ana, Kua hara ahau, whakaparoritia ake e ahau te tika, a kahore he pai ki ahau: |
| 28. | Kua whakaorangia e ia toku wairua kei riro ki te rua, a e kite toku wairua i te marama. |
| 29. | Nana, e meatia ana enei mea katoa e te Atua, e tuaruatia ana, ae, e tuatorutia ana, ki te tangata, |
| 30. | Hei whakahoki mai i tona wairua i roto i te rua, kia whakamaramatia ai ki te marama o te ora. |
| 31. | Kia whai whakaaro mai, e Hopa, whakarongo mai ki ahau: kati tau, a ka korero ahau. |
| 32. | Ki te mea he kupu tau, utua mai taku: korero, ko taku hoki i pai ai kia whakatikaia tau. |
| 33. | Ki te kahore, whakarongo ki ahau: noho puku koe, a maku koe e whakaako ki te whakaaro nui. |
