HE KUPU NO TE MATAURANGA.
I whakamaoritia i te Nama 20. nga kupu a Wiremu Hakipia mo te moe i whakapuakina e Henare IV, kingi o Ingarangi. Tenei ano etahi kupu matau a taua tangata, he kupu tohutohu, he kupu poroporoaki na tetahi tangata ki tana tama e haere ana kite whenua ote Wiwi. E kore e tino whakamaramatia e ahau te tikanga o aua kupu katoa, me waiho ma te hinengaro o te tangata e whakaaroaro, e hurihuri; tuaruatia, tuatorutia te korero; whakamaoritia nga kupu taikaha. No te 1564 a Wiremu Hakipia i whanau ai, no te tau 1713 i mate ai ko ia tetahi tangata matau atu o te ao : i kiia ia ko te “ Kai-whakamaori o te ngakau o te tangata.” He Tohutohu ki a Tama. Ina; taku manaakitanga ki a koe 1 Ko nga kupu tohutohu tomtom nei ki ton hinengaro. Kia tu rangatira. Kaua e hoatu he arero ki o whakaaro, Kaua ano e mahia te mea he hua nei no te whakaaro he. Whakahoa kite tangata, otira kaua ki nga tangata katoa. Ko on hoa, i te mea kua whakamatauria ratou e koe, Ronaangia ki to wairua ki nga here rino, Engari kei utonga to ringa i te whakamanawarekatanga I nga hoa whanau-hou, huruhuru-kore. Kia tupato Kei uru koe ki roto ki nga riri, otira kite uru koe,
Kia tu-taane, kia wehi ai te hoa riri i a koe. Hoatu to taringa kite tangata, ko to reo ia kite toko-iti: hakaarohia te kupu a te tangata, ko ton whakaaro ia puritia. Kia rite te tu o kakahu kite nui o moni, Kaua hei ta te kanohi i minamina ai; kia pai, kaua hei vvhakahihi, No te raea e whakaaturia ana ano te ahua o te ngakau e te tu o nga kakahu, Ako nga tangata ote iwi o nga turanga rangatira . He hunga tino whiriwhiri, tino whakaaro __ mo te tu o te kakahu. Kaua hei nama moni hei tuku moni ranei; E ngaro ana hoki te moni mete hoa i tena tikanga A ma te nama e whakapunuki te mata o te ahuwhenua. Te mea tino nui rawa ia ; kia pono ki a koe ake ano, Kia rite te uo to pono, kite uote po kite aru i te ao A, e kore rawa koe e teka ki raua tangata. Haere ra : ma taku manaakitanga e whakau aku kupu ki to ngakau. Hamlet, Act I, Scene iii. He maha nga kupu matau kei roto i enei rarangi ruarua hei whangai i te hinengaro, ma te whangai hoki ka kaha ai te hinengaro, penei mete tinana mete wairua e whangainga nei kia pakari ai. Ko enei etahi kupu matau atu : “ Kaua e hoatu he arero ki o whakaaro,” ara kaua hei hohoro te whaaki noa i o whakaaro kite tangata. “Ma te nama e whakapunuki te mata o te ahu-whenua,” ara he mahi ngenge he main taumaha te main moni hei utu nama i te mea kua whakhemo ke nga mea i namaia. He tokomaha nga maori kua rongo ite mamae i runga ite nama. E ki ana te whakatauki pakeha “ Pai atu te haere mate-kai kite moe, ite maranga taimaha i te nama.” E ki ana hoki te Apotoro Nui “ Kei waiho kia takoto roa ana te mea i tika kia hoatu ki tetahi, ko te aroha anake o tetahi ki tetahi.” (Rom. xiii. 8.) He tahae, he hara te kore e utu i te nama, i te mea he- moni ano ta te tangata, te kore ranei e uaua kite mahi moni hei utu i nga nama. “ E whakaaturia ana ano te ahua o te ngakau e te ahua o nga kakahu,” ara, penei me etahi wahine e mau kakahu wherowhero nei, kakariki, pungapunga kanapanapa mete huhua noa iho ote kara ; nawai ra tera e pohehetia he aniwaniwa, ko tetahi o nga mana o Ngatiporou ko “ Kahukura.” Kia ngawari te ahua ote kakahu. R. T. M. Koheke.
