I teie mahana, 'a ha'api'i 'a'u i te maorō 'ia 'a'u anei'a, 'aore 'a'u e ha'atae i te huru 'ātea. 'A here 'a'u iā ia, 'a maorō 'a'u i te huru māta'i, 'a tapē i te 'āpā ho'e.
When the people do not fear what they ought to fear, that which is their great dread will come on them. Therefore the sage knows (these things) of himself, but does not parade (his knowledge); loves, but does not (appear to set a) value on, himself.
