Hōʻike mai kēia paukū i ka Tao e like me kahi Hale Kūmau nana e pale a e mālama i nā mea a pau. ʻO ia ka waiwai o ka poʻe maikaʻi, akā ua mālama ʻia nā poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi e ia. ʻOiai hiki i nā ʻōlelo maikaʻi ke kūʻai i ka mahalo, a hiki i nā hana maikaʻi ke hoʻonui i nā mea ʻē aʻe, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o ka Tao. No ka mea, ma laila e loaʻa ai kā mea i ʻimi ai, a e ʻae ʻia ai nā hewa.

ʻO ka Tao, ʻo ia ka hale kūmau o nā mea a pau, ka waiwai o ka poʻe maikaʻi, ka pale o ka poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi. Hiki i nā ʻōlelo maikaʻi ke kūʻai i ka mahalo, hiki i nā hana maikaʻi ke hoʻonui i nā mea ʻē aʻe. Inā he poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi, he aha lā ka mea e waiho aku ai? No laila, inā e hoʻonoho ʻia ke Kimo a me nā Luna Kiʻekiʻe, ʻoiai aia ka pōhaku maikaʻi a me nā lio ʻehā ma mua, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o kēia Tao. He aha ka mea i hiʻohiʻonia ai nā kūpuna i kēia Tao? ʻAʻole lāua i nīnau pehea e loaʻa ai kā lāua i ʻimi ai, a pehea e ʻae ʻia ai ko lākou hewa? No laila, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o kēia Tao ma luna aku o nā mea a pau.

Hōʻike mai kēia paukū i ka Tao e like me kahi Hale Kūmau nana e pale a e mālama i nā mea a pau. ʻO ia ka waiwai o ka poʻe maikaʻi, akā ua mālama ʻia nā poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi e ia. ʻOiai hiki i nā ʻōlelo maikaʻi ke kūʻai i ka mahalo, a hiki i nā hana maikaʻi ke hoʻonui i nā mea ʻē aʻe, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o ka Tao. No ka mea, ma laila e loaʻa ai kā mea i ʻimi ai, a e ʻae ʻia ai nā hewa.
Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
I koʻu noho ʻana, aia nā manawa au e poʻe e like me ka poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi, a e manaʻo au he ʻae ʻole ʻia. Akā, hōʻike mai kēia paukū i ka Tao e mālama ana i nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole o ka poʻe maikaʻi wale nō. He manaʻo aloha kēia, he manaʻo hoʻomana. Pēlā nō, aia nā manawa au e hāʻule i lalo, a ua pono wau e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole wau e hoʻopunipuni ʻia, akā e kōkua ʻia au e ka Tao.
Tao has of all things the most honoured place. No treasures give good men so rich a grace; Bad men it guards, and doth their ill efface. Why was it that the ancients prized this Tao so much? Was it not because it could be got by seeking for it, and the guilty could escape (from the stains of their guilt) by it?

ʻO ka Tao, ʻo ia ka hale kūmau o nā mea a pau, ka waiwai o ka poʻe maikaʻi, ka pale o ka poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi. Hiki i nā ʻōlelo maikaʻi ke kūʻai i ka mahalo, hiki i nā hana maikaʻi ke hoʻonui i nā mea ʻē aʻe. Inā he poʻe ʻaʻole maikaʻi, he aha lā ka mea e waiho aku ai? No laila, inā e hoʻonoho ʻia ke Kimo a me nā Luna Kiʻekiʻe, ʻoiai aia ka pōhaku maikaʻi a me nā lio ʻehā ma mua, ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o kēia Tao.
