Chapter 75

Te Hiakai o te Iwi

饥 税收 无为 贵生

Taketake

民之饥，以其上食税之多，是以饥。民之难治，以其上之有为，是以难治。民之轻死，以其上求生之厚，是以轻死。
夫唯无以生为者，是贤于贵生。

Whakamaoritanga

Ko te hiakai o te iwi, nā te maha o ngā tāke ka kai atu rātau ki runga ake, nā reira ka hiakai. Ko te uaua o te whakahaere i te iwi, nā ō rātau mahi whakapakari, nā reira ka uaua te whakahaere. Ko te māngere whakamate a te iwi, nā te nui o ō rātau wheako oranga, nā reira ka māngere whakamate. Ko te hunga kore ōrite ki te hiakai oranga, he nui ake tō rātau mātauranga i te hunga e pūrei ana ki te oranga.

Whakaaroaro Hōhonu

He aha tēnei upoko mō?

E kōrero ana tēnei uperekōrapua mō te hiakai o te iwi, ka puta nō na te maha o ngā tāke e tango atu e ngā kaiwhakahaere. Ka kōrero hoki mō te uaua o te whakahaere iwi, nā ngā mahi whakapakari a ngā kaiwhakahaere. Ka kōrero mō te māngere whakamate a te iwi, nā ō rātau wheako oranga nui rawa.

He aha tēnei ki ahau?

Kei te mōhio ahau he pēhea te nui o ngā herenga o waho e pākēhea ai ō tātou noho. Ka whakaaro ahau mēnā e kaha ana tātou ki te tāmi i a tātou anō, ka hē haere ō tātou wairua. Me ako ahau kia ngākaunui ki te oranga ngāwari, kia kaua e hiahiatia nui rawa.

He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?

Hōu tēnei rā, ka titiro ahau ki ōku ake hiahia, ka kite ahau i ngā wāhi e nui rawa nei ōku kōhure mo te oranga. Ka whakahekehia e ahau ētahi o aua mea, ka arahina e te ngākau māmā.
