e keri ana te tangata
people are digging

kua keri poka te hunga whakakake moku; he mea kahore e rite ki tau ture
the proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

na ka keri nga pononga a ihaka ki te awaawa, a ka kitea e ratou i reira he puna manawa whenua
and isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

kahore hoki he rawa i huna ai e ratou te poka o ta ratou kupenga moku; he mea keri takekore kia mate ai ahau
for without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

na ka keri nga ihipiana katoa ki nga taha o te awa i te wai hei inu; kihai hoki i ahei te inu i te wai o te awa
and all the egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

na ka keri ratou i tetahi atu poka, ka tautohetia ano tera e ratou: a huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko hitina
and they digged another well, and strove for that also:and he called the name of it sitnah.

ko te tangata e keri ana i te rua, ka taka ano ki roto; ko te tangata e wahi ana i te taiepa, ka ngaua e te nakahi
he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

e keri ana ratou i nga whare i te pouri: i te awatea e pa ana ratou i a ratou: kahore ratou e mohio ki te marama
in the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

i nga whakatauki 2: 1 - 5, e whakahau ana kia rapua e tatou te matauranga, me tino keri, ano nei he taonga huna
at proverbs 2:1-5, it urges us to seek wisdom, to dig for it as we would for a hidden treasure
