< 箴言 31 >
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi ko Limueli, ko e tala naʻe akonaki ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene faʻē.
2 我兒! 我的親生兒! 我的長子肋慕耳! 我許願所得的孩子! 我可給你說些什麼﹖
“Ko e hā, ʻeku tama? Pea ko e hā, ʻae tama ʻo hoku manāva? Pea ko e hā, ʻae tama ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fuakava?
3 你不要將你的精力,為女人而消耗;也不要為君王的宮女,白費你的血氣。
ʻOua naʻa tuku ho mālohi ki he kakai fefine, pe ko ho ngaahi hala ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi.
ʻOku ʻikai taau mo e ngaahi tuʻi, ʻE Limueli, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo e ngaahi tuʻi ke faʻa inu kava pe ke inu ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae kava kona.
5 免得在酒興之餘,輕易將法律忘掉,顛倒窮人的是非。
Telia naʻa nau inu, pea ngalo ai ʻae fono, pea taʻetotonu ai ʻae fakamaau, ki he kakai ʻoku mamahi.
6 應將醇酒給與哀慟欲絕的人,應將清酒給與心靈痛楚的人,
ʻAtu ʻae kava mālohi kiate ia ʻoku meimei mate, mo e uaine kiate kinautolu ʻoku māfasia honau loto.
7 好叫他們喝了,完全忘掉自己的貧乏,不再記憶自己的憂苦。
Tuku ke ne inu ke ngalo ai ʻene masiva, pea ʻoua naʻa toe manatu ki heʻene mamahi.
Ke matoʻo ho ngutu koeʻuhi ko e noa, ʻi he meʻa ʻanautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamaau ki he mate.
Matoʻo ho ngutu, pea ke fakamaau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke langomakiʻi ʻae masiva, pea mo e paea ʻi heʻene meʻa.”
10 賢淑的婦女,有誰能找到﹖她本身價值,遠勝過珠寶。
Ko hai ʻoku faʻa maʻu ʻae fefine fai lelei? He ʻoku maʻongoʻonga ia ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa.
11 她的丈夫對她衷心信賴,一切所需從來不會缺少。
ʻOku falala fakamoʻomoʻoni kiate ia ʻae loto ʻo hono husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate ia ha meʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he fakamālohi.
ʻE fai lelei ia kiate ia, ka ʻe ʻikai ha kovi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui:
ʻOku ne kumi ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, mo e louʻakau, ʻo ne ngāue fiefia ʻaki ʻa hono nima.
ʻOku ne hangē ko e ngaahi vaka ʻoe kau fakatau, he ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻene meʻakai mei he mamaʻo.
15 天還未明,她已起身,為給家人分配食物,給婢女們分派家務。
ʻOku ne tuʻu hake foki ʻi he kei poʻuli, ʻo ne tufaki ʻae meʻakai ki heʻene kau nofoʻanga, mo e ʻinasi ʻo ʻene kau kaunanga.
16 她看中一塊田地,就將它買了來,以雙手所得的收入,栽植了葡萄園。
ʻOku ne manako ki ha ngoue, pea ne fakatau ia: pea ʻoku ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine mei he fua ʻo hono nima.
ʻOku nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae mālohi ʻa hono kongaloto, ʻoku ne fakamālohi hono nima.
ʻOku ne ʻilo ʻoku lelei ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne fakatauʻaki: ʻoku ʻikai ke mate ʻene maama ʻi he pō.
ʻOku ne ai hono nima ki he meʻa ʻoku fīʻaki ʻae filo, pea ʻoku puke ʻi hono nima ʻae ʻaiʻanga filo.
20 對貧苦的人,她隨手賙濟;對無靠的人,她伸手扶助。
ʻOku mafao atu hono nima ki he masiva, ʻio, ʻoku mafao atu hono nima kiate kinautolu ʻoku paea.
21 為自己的家人,她不害怕風雪,因為全家上下,都穿雙料衣裳。
ʻOku ʻikai manavahē ia ki he tō mai ʻae ʻuha hinehina ki heʻene kau nofoʻanga: he ʻoku lōua ʻae kofu ʻo ʻene kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē.
22 她為自己做了華麗的舖蓋,身穿的是細麻和紫錦的衣裳。
ʻOku ne ngaohi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu kuo tuitui fakasanisani: ko hono ngaahi kofu ko e silika mo e meʻa kulaʻahoʻaho.
23 她的丈夫與當地長老同席,在城門口深為眾人所認識。
ʻOku ongoongoa hono husepāniti ʻi he ngaahi matapā, ʻoka nofo hifo ia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe fonua.
ʻOku ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae tupenu tuʻovalevale lelei, ʻo ne fakatauʻaki: pea ʻoku ʻatu ʻa hono ngaahi noʻo ki he kau fakatau.
25 剛毅和尊嚴是她的服飾,一念及將來便笑容滿面。
Ko hono kofu ko e mālohi mo e ongoongolelei; pea ʻe fiefia ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui.
ʻOku matoʻo hono ngutu ʻi he poto; pea ʻoku ʻi hono ʻelelo ʻae fono ʻoe ʻofa.
ʻOku ne tokanga lahi ki he anga ʻo hono fale, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke kai ʻe ia ʻae mā ʻae fakapikopiko.
28 她的子女起來向她祝福,她的丈夫對她讚不絕口:「
ʻOku tupu hake ʻene fānau, ʻonau ui ia ko e monūʻia; pea ʻoku fakaongoongoleleiʻi ia ʻe hono husepāniti foki.
“Kuo fai lelei ʻe he kau ʻofefine tokolahi, ka ʻoku ke lelei hake koe ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē.”
30 姿色是虛幻,美麗是泡影;敬畏上主的女人,纔堪當受人讚美。
Ko e meʻa kākā ʻae matamatalelei, pea ko e vaʻinga ʻae hoihoifua: ka ko e fefine ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova ʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ia.
31 願她享受她雙手操勞的成果! 願她的事業在城門口使她受讚揚!
Foaki kiate ia mei he fua ʻo hono nima: pea tuku pe ke fakaongoongoleleiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻe heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻaʻana.
