Proverbs 30
1 [the] words of - Agur [the] son of Jakeh the oracle [the] utterance of the man to Ithiel to Ithiel and Ukal.
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAkuli ko e foha ʻo Sake, ʻaia ko e kikite: naʻe lea ʻae tangata kia ʻItieli, ʻio, kia ʻItieli mo ʻUkali.
2 That [am] stupid I more than anyone and not [the] understanding of a person [belongs] to me.
“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻeku vale ʻi he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae poto ʻo ha tangata.
3 And not I have learned wisdom and knowledge of [the] holy [one] I know.
Kuo ʻikai akonekina au ki he poto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
4 Who? has he gone up heaven - and has he come down? who? has he gathered [the] wind - in hands his who? has he wrapped [the] waters - in cloak who? has he set up all [the] ends of [the] earth what? [is] name his and what? [is] [the] name of son his for you know.
Ko hai kuo ʻalu hake ki he langi, pe ʻalu hifo? Ko hai ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae matangi ʻi hono nima? Ko hai kuo ne fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi ha kofu? Ko hai kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani? Ko hai hono huafa, pea ko hai ʻae huafa ʻo hono ʻAlo, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke faʻa fakahā?
5 Every word of God [is] refined [is] a shield he for [those who] take refuge in him.
“ʻOku maʻa ʻae folofola kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua: pea ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
6 May not you add to words his lest he should rebuke you and you will be proved a liar.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakalahi ki heʻene folofola telia naʻa ne valokiʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻilo ai koe ko e loi.”
7 Two [things] I ask from with you may not you withhold [them] from me before I will die.
Ko e meʻa ʻe ua kuo u kole kiate koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi ia ʻiate au ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku mate.
8 Deceitfulness - and a word of falsehood put far away from me poverty and wealth may not you give to me let devour me [the] food of allotment my.
Hiki ke mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae vaʻinga mo e loi: pea ʻoua naʻaku masiva pe koloaʻia: fafanga ʻaki au ʻae meʻakai ʻoku taau pe mo au:
9 Lest I should be satisfied - and I will deny and I will say who? [is] Yahweh and lest I should become impoverished and I will steal and I will seize [the] name of God my.
Telia naʻaku mākona, pea u fakafisiʻi koe, pea u pehē, Ko hai ʻa Sihova? Telia foki naʻaku masiva, pea u kaihaʻa, mo takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo hoku ʻOtua.
10 May not you slander a slave to (master his *Q(K)*) lest he should curse you and you will be held guilty.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakakoviʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki, telia naʻa ne kapeʻi koe, pea ʻilo ko koe ʻoku halaia.
11 A generation father its it curses and mother its not it blesses.
ʻOku ai ʻae fānau ʻoku kape ki heʻenau tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tāpuakiʻi ʻenau faʻē.
12 A generation [is] pure in own eyes its and from excrement its not it has been washed.
ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni ʻi honau mata ʻonautolu, ka ʻoku teʻeki ke fufulu ʻenau anga fakalielia.
13 A generation how! they are raised eyes its and eyelids its they are lifted up.
ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻOi seuke! Hono ʻikai māʻolunga ʻa honau mata! Pea kuo nau hiki hake honau laumata.
14 A generation - [are] swords teeth its and [are] knives jaw bones its to devour afflicted [people] from [the] earth and needy [people] from humankind.
ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻoku tatau honau nifo mo e heletā, mo honau ngao ʻoku hangē ko e hele, ke kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae masiva mei he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻosi mo e paea mei he kakai.
15 [belong] to A leech - two daughters give - give three [things] they not they are satisfied four [things] not they say enough.
“ʻOku maʻu ʻe he aluka ʻae ʻofefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku tangi, ‘Foaki mai, foaki mai.’ “ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ke fiemālie, ʻio, ʻoku fā ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi:’
16 Sheol and barrenness of a womb land [which] not it is satisfied water and fire [which] not it says enough. (Sheol h7585)
Ko e faʻitoka; mo e manāva ʻoku paʻa; ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻikai pito ʻi he vai; pea mo e afi ʻoku ʻikai ke pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi.’ (Sheol h7585)
17 An eye - [which] it mocks a father so it may despise obedience of a mother they will pluck out it [the] ravens of [the] wadi and they will eat it [the] young of an eagle.
“Ko e mata ʻoku manuki ki heʻene tamai, pea ʻikai tokanga ke fai talangofua ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe kapeʻi ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻoe teleʻa, pea ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga ʻikale iiki.
18 Three [things] they they are [too] wonderful for me (and four [things] *Q(k)*) not I know them.
ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au, ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi.
19 [the] way of The eagle - in the heavens [the] way of a snake on a rock [the] way of a ship in [the] heart of [the] sea and [the] way of a man with a young woman.
Ko e punaʻanga ʻoe ʻikale ʻi he ʻatā; mo e hala ʻoe ngata ʻi he funga maka; mo e ʻaluʻanga ʻoe vaka ʻi he loto vaha; mo e anga ʻae tangata ki he tāupoʻou.
20 [is] thus - [the] way of A woman adulterous she eats and she wipes clean mouth her and she says not I have done wickedness.
ʻOku pehē ʻae anga ʻae fefine tonotangata; ʻoku ne kai, ʻo ne holoholo hono ngutu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u fai ha kovi.”
21 Under three [things] it quakes [the] earth and under four [things] not it is able to bear up.
Ko e meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku maveuveu ai ʻa māmani, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai ke ne faʻa kātakiʻi:
22 Under a slave for he will become king and a fool for he will be satisfied food.
Ko e tamaioʻeiki kuo fakanofo ke pule; mo e tangata vale kuo mākona ʻi he meʻakai;
23 Under a hated [woman] for she will be married and a female servant for she will dispossess mistress her.
Mo e fefine anga fakalielia kuo mali; mo e kaunanga ʻoku hoko ki he koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki fefine.
24 Four [things] they [are] small [things] of [the] earth and they [are] wise [things] made wise.
ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku iiki ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ka ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau poto:
25 The ants [are] a people not strong and they prepared in the summer food their.
Ko e lō, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ke mālohi, ka ʻoku nau tokonaki ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana.
26 Rock badgers [are] a people not mighty and they made in the rock[s] home their.
Ko e fanga safana, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku vaivai pe, ka ʻoku nau ngaohi honau fale ʻi he ngaahi maka;
27 A king not [belongs] to the locust and it went out dividing all of it.
ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ha tuʻi ʻe he fanga heʻe, ka ʻoku nau puna fakataha atu;
28 A lizard in [two] hands you will grasp and it [is] in [the] palaces of a king.
ʻOku puke ʻaki ʻe he hina ʻa hono nima, ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
29 Three [things] they [are] doing well of step and four [things] [are] doing well to walk.
ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku lelei ʻenau ʻalu, ʻio, ʻoku fā, ʻae meʻa ʻoku matalelei ʻenau ʻalu:
30 A lion [is] mighty among the animal[s] and not it turns back from before anything.
Ko e laione ʻaia ʻoku mālohi ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki atu ʻi ha taha;
31 A rooster of loins or a male goat and a king a band of soldiers with him.
Ko e hoosi; mo e kosi tangata foki; pea mo e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ki ai ha angatuʻu.
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself and if you have plotted hand to a mouth.
“Kapau kuo ke fai vale ʻi hoʻo hiki hake koe ʻe koe, pea kapau kuo ke mahalo kovi, ke ke ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu.
33 For squeezing of milk it brings forth butter and squeezing of a nose it brings forth blood and squeezing of anger it brings forth strife.
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tupu ʻae pota ʻi he tuki ʻae huʻahuhu ʻoe manu, pea tupu ʻae toto ʻi he mioʻi ʻoe ihu: ʻoku pehē, ʻoku tupu ʻae fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he ʻita fakamālohi.”
