Chapter 76
I a Te Tangata e Ora Ana, He Ngoikore
Taketake
故坚强者死之徒，柔弱者生之徒。
是以兵强则灭，木强则折。强大处下，柔弱处上。
Whakamaoritanga
a, i a ia e mate ana, he kaha, he pūkaha.
Pērā anō hoki ki ngā tipu me ngā otaota:
i a rātou e ora ana, he ngāwari, he ngoikore;
a, i a rātou e mate ana, he kāore he hau, he kore-kore.
Nā reira, ko te hunga pūmau, kei te taha o te mate;
ko te hunga ngoikore, kei te taha o te ora.
Nā konei, mehemea ka kaha rawa te rangatira moana, ka ngaro;
mehemea ka pūkaha rawa te rākau, ka whati.
Ko te hunga kaha, kei raro;
ko te hunga ngoikore, kei runga.
Whakaaroaro Hōhonu
He aha tēnei upoko mō?
E mea ana tēnei upoko, kua tau mai te Ao katoa ki te ao marama me te ngoikore, mō te hunga e ora ana. Kāore te tangata, ngā tipu rānei e taea te pupūkaha tonu, nō te mea ka tino kaha rawa, ka tino kore rānei. Ko te hunga e kaha ana, ka tū ki te taha o te mate; ko te hunga e ngoikore ana, ka tū ki te taha o te ora. Nō reira, kia kaua e whakawhirinaki ki te kaha puparu, engari kia ako ki te ngāwari me te marama. Ka whakapūpūhia te mōteatea, arā, me rapa te pakeke, me mārō te kōrero.
He aha tēnei ki ahau?
He mea nui tēnei ki a au. He rite au ki te tāngata katoa, i mua he tino kaha, kua ngoikore haere i te wā. Kua ako au, kāore i te ao me te pūkaha e ora ai tētahi tangata, engari ko te ngāwari me te mārama. Kei tēnei akoranga, ka kite au i te āhua o tōku ao, ā, ka mōhio he aha te take me whai i te huarahi o te marama, kia noho ora ai ahau me ōku hoa.
He aha tāku mahi āpōpō?
I tēnei rā, ka whakamātauria e au te ngāwari. Ka āta whakarongo au ki ōku hoa, kāore au e whakaputa i tōku kaha, engari ka noho ngāwari. Ka mahi au i tētahi mea hei whakangāwari i tōku tinana, pērā i te hōhonu o te manawa, te raranga rānei, kia ako au ki te noho marama.
