Je was op zoek naar: tuhia te whakatauki (Maori - Engels)

e ai ki te whakatauki
add it

e tautau noa ana nga waewae o te kopa: he pera hoki te whakatauki i te mangai o te wairangi
the legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

e rite ana ki te tataramoa e wero nei i te ringa o te haurangi, koia ano te whakatauki i te mangai o nga wairangi
as a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

e ki nei hoki te whakatauki onamata, no te hunga kino mai te kino; na e kore toku ringa e pa ki a koe
as saith the proverb of the ancients, wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

e mohio ai ia ki te whakatauki, ki te kupu whakarite, ki nga kupu a nga whakaaro nui, ki a ratou korero whakapeka
to understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

heoi te tukunga iho ki a ratou rite tonu ki ta te whakatauki pono, kua hoki te kuri ki tona ruaki; me te poaka i horoi ra, kua okeoke ano i te paru
but it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
