Chapter 65
Te Ta'ata Muamua i Aru i te Ava
Original
故以智治国，国之贼；不以智治国，国之福。知此两者亦稽式。常知稽式，是谓玄德。
玄德深矣，远矣，与物反矣，然后乃至大顺。

Teie upu i parau mai, nō te ta'ata i te ta'ata mua i fa'aitehia i te Ava, aore i fa'aite i te ni'a, noa'tu i fa'atau i te hoê noa. Te ta'ata e hi'ohia teie no tō rākou rahi mātau. Te mātau fa'a'itehia no te fenua, e pāha'i no te fenua, aeā e hau no te fenua te aore mātau.
E pēhea tōna ʻāʻano ia'u?
I tōku ora, 'ō Tahiti, e 'ō to'u 'aimo'a no te rahi o te mātau e maoro. E 'ōre a'u i te 'āpi'i hō'ē, i te 'īmēra, i te hau fīto. Teie mātau, e hia rahi i maoro iāku, e 'ōre, e 'ā'au. A hiahia roa 'ōku i te maohi, i te 'ō'ō, i te hoê noa o tōku manava.
E aha tāʻu e rave i tēia mahana?
I teie mahana, e 'ō'ō i te hoê 'āpo'ora'a nō te mātau nui rahi. E hō'ē ra'a i 'īmēra, e 'ō'ō ra'a i te mahana 'āpi'i, aore 'ō'u e fa'a'ite i te 'āpainetiera. E tāpuna iāku i te 'ō'ō o te hau pa'ari.
