If lustful looking be so grievous a sin, then those who dress and expose themselves with desires to be looked at and lusted after...are not less, but even more guilty. In this matter it is only too often the case that men sin, but women tempt them so to do. How great, then, must be the guilt of the great majority of the modern misses who deliberately seek to arouse the sexual passions of our young men. And how much greater still is the guilt of most of their mothers for allowing them to become lascivious temptresses.

31:1 ¶ Na kua whawhai nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira, a ka whati nga tangata o Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana, mate rawa, i Maunga Kiripoa.

31:2 Na ka whaia e nga Pirihitini a Haora ratou ko ana tama, a patua iho e nga Pirihitini a Honatana ratou ko Apinarapa, ko Marikihua, nga tama a Haora.

31:3 Na ka nui haere te whawhai ki a Haora, a ka mau ia i nga kaikopere; nui rawa tona tunga i nga kaikopere.

31:4 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki tana kaimau patu, Unuhia tau hoari, werohia hoki ahau; kei haere mai tenei hunga kokotikore, a ka wero i ahau, ka whakatupu kino i ahau. Otiia kihai i pai tana kaimau patu; he nui hoki no tona hopohopo. Na reira ka mau a Haora ki tana hoari, hinga iho ki runga.

31:5 A, no te kitenga o tana kaimau patu, kua mate a Haora, ka hinga hoki ia ki tana hoari, a mate tahi ana raua.

31:6 Heoi kotahi tonu te matenga o Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru, ko tana kaimau patu, me ana tangata katoa i taua ra ano.

31:7 A, no te kitenga o nga tangata o Iharaira i tera taha o te raorao, i tawhi ano o Horano, kua whati nga tangata o Iharaira, a kua mate a Haora ratou ko ana tama, whakarerea ake e ratou nga pa, a rere ana; na ka haere nga Pirihitini nohoia iho.

31:8 ¶ A, i te aonga ake, i te haerenga o nga Pirihitini ki te muru i te hunga i patua, na, ka kitea e ratou a Haora ratou ko ana tama tokotoru e takoto ana i Maunga Kiripoa.

31:9 Na tapahia ana e ratou tona upoko, murua ana ana patu, unga ana e ratou kia kawea puta noa i te whenua o nga Pirihitini a tawhio noa, kia kauwhautia i roto i te whare o a ratou whakapakoko, i roto hoki i te iwi.

31:10 A i whakatakotoria e ratou ana patu ki te whare o Ahataroto, ko tona tinana ia i titia e ratou ki te taiepa o Petehana.

31:11 A, no ka rongo nga tangata o Iapehe Kireara ki ta nga Pirihitini i mea ai ki a Haora,

31:12 Ka whakatika nga marohirohi katoa, a haere ana pau noa taua po katoa; na tangohia iho e ratou te tinana o Haora, me nga tinana o ana tama i te taiepa o Petehana, a haere ana ki Iapehe, tahuna ana ki reira.

31:13 I maua hoki o ratou whenua e ratou, a tanumia ana ki raro i tetahi rakau i Iapehe, a e whitu nga ra i nohopuku ai.
