Kekahuna 8
1 O WAI ka mea i like me ka mea naauao? Owai ka mea i ike i ka hoakaka ana i ka olelo? Ka naanao o ke kanaka, oia ka mea e oluolu ai kona maka, a ua hala kona maka haaheo.
Ko hai ʻoku hangē ko e tangata poto? Pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae fakamatala ʻo ha meʻa? Ko e meʻa ʻi he poto ʻoku malama mai ʻae mata ʻoe tangata, pea ʻe liliu ai ʻae mālohi ʻa hono mata.
2 Ke ao aku nei au ia oe, e malama i ke kanawai o ke alii, no ka hoohiki ana i ke Akua.
ʻOku ou enginakiʻi koe ke ke fai ki he fekau ʻae tuʻi, pea ke fai ia koeʻuhi ko e fuakava ʻae ʻOtua.
3 Mai wikiwiki oe i kou hele ana mai kona alo aku: mai kupaa oe ma ka mea ino; no ka mea, ke hana la ia i na mea a pau loa ana i makemake ai.
ʻOua naʻa ʻalu atu fakavave ʻi hono ʻao: ʻoua naʻa ke kau ʻi ha meʻa kovi; he ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻa ʻene faʻiteliha.
4 Ma ka olelo a ke alii, aia no ka mana; a owai la ka mea e hiki ke olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau i hana'i?
Ko e meʻa ʻoku lea ki ai ʻae tuʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mālohi: pea ko hai ʻe faʻa pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?”
5 O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, aole ia e ike i ka mea ino; a o ka naau o ka mea akamai, ua ike ia i ka manawa a me ka hoopono.
Ko ia ʻoku fai ki he fekau ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ha kovi: pea ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe he loto ʻoe poto ʻae ʻaho tuʻutuʻumālie pea mo e fakamaau.
6 No ka mea, aia no i na mea a pau he wa no, a me ka hoopono; a ua nui ke kaumaha maluna o ke kanaka.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ai ʻae ʻaho mo e fakamaau ʻoe ngāue kotoa pē, ko ia ʻoku mamafa ai ʻae kovi ʻae tangata kiate ia.
7 No ka mea. aole ia i ike i ka mea e hiki mai ana; a o ka wa e hiki mai ai, owai la ka mea e hiki ke hai aku ia ia?
He ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko: pea ko hai ʻoku faʻa tala kiate ia pe ʻe hoko afe?
8 Aohe kanaka e hiki ke malama i ka hanu a paa ia, aohe mea ikaika i ka la e make ai; aole hoi i hookuuia kekahi mai keia kaua aku; aole nae e hoopakele ka hewa i ka poe hewa.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku maʻu ʻae mālohi ki he laumālie ke ne taʻofi maʻu ki he laumālie; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ha mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mate: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tukuange mei he tau ko ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fakahaofi ʻe he kovi ʻakinautolu kuo nau maheni ai.
9 Ua ike au i keia mau mea a pau, a halalo kuu naau i na hana a pau i hanaia malalo iho o ka la, aia i kekahi wa no e alii ai kekahi kanaka maluna o kekahi i mea e poino ai oia iho.
Ko e meʻa ni kotoa pē kuo u mamata ki ai, pea u tuku hoku loto ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻi he lalo laʻā: ʻoku ai ʻae ʻaho ʻoku pule ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ki he tokotaha ka ʻe kovi ai ia.
10 A pela no, ua ike au i ke kanuia o ka poe hewa, ua hele lakou iloko o kahi hemolele, a hoi mai, a ua poina lakou ma ke kulanakauhale, kahi a lakou i hana'i pela. He mea lapuwale keia.
Pea naʻaku mamata foki ki he tanu ʻoe angahala, ʻaia naʻe faʻa ʻalu mo haʻu mei he potu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe ngalo ʻakinautolu ʻi he kolo naʻa nau fai pehē ai: ko e vaʻinga foki eni.
11 No ka hooko koke ole ia mai o ka olelo hoahewa i ka hana ino; no ia mea, ua paa loa ka naau o na keiki a kanaka e hana hewa.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae fai ʻoe tautea ki he ngāue kovi, ko ia ʻoku tukupau ai ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻae tangata ke fai kovi.
12 Ina e hana ino ka mea hewa, pahaneri ka hana ana, a ua hooloihiia kona mau la, ua ike no au, ua pomaikai ka poe makau i ke Akua, ka poe makau imua ona.
Ka neongo ʻae fai ke liunga teau ʻae kovi ʻae angahala, pea fakatolonga hono ʻaho, ka ʻoku ou ʻilo moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē ʻi hono ʻao.
13 Aole e pomaikai ka mea hewa, aole nae ia e hooloihi i kona mau la, no ka mea, me he aka la ka mea i makau ole imua i ke alo o ke Akua.
Ka ʻe ʻikai ha lelei ki he angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai tolonga maʻuaipē hono ngaahi ʻaho, he ko e ʻata ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ne manavahē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
14 Eia kekahi mea lapuwale i hanaia ma ka honua; aia no kekahi poe pono, a ua ili wale ia lakou e like me ka hana a ka poe hewa, a aia hoi ka poe hewa, ua ili wale ia lakou e like me ka hana a ka poe pono. I iho la au, he mea lapuwale keia.
ʻOku ai ʻae vaʻinga ʻoku fai ʻi he māmani: ʻa eni, ʻoku ai ʻae kakai angatonu, ʻoku hoko ʻae meʻa kiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻae angahala; pea pehē, ʻoku ai ʻae kakai angahala, ʻoku hoko kiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: pea naʻaku pehē, ko e vaʻinga foki eni.
15 Alaila, mahalo iho la au i ka olioli, no ka mea, aohe mea maikai i ke kanaka malalo iho o ka la i oi aku i ka ai ana, i ka inu, a me ka olioli; he mea mau keia ia ia no kana haua, i na la o kona ola ana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia ia malalo iho o ka la.
Pea naʻaku toki fakamālō ki he fakafiemālie, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lelei hake ki he tangata ʻi he lalo laʻā, ka ko ʻene kai, mo inu, mo fakafiefia: he ko ia ʻe nofomaʻu mo ia ʻi heʻene ngāue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he lalo laʻā.
16 Alaila, haawi ae la au i ko'u naau e ike i ka naauao, a e ike hoi i ka mea i hanaia ma ka honua; no ka mea, aia no kekahi mea i pili ole ai kona mau maka i ka hiamoe i ka po a me ke ao:
ʻI heʻeku tuku hoku loto ke ʻilo ʻae poto, pea mamata ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻi he māmani: (he ʻoku ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai sio hono mata ki he mohe ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō: )
17 A ike iho la au i na hana a pau a ke Akua, no ka mea, aole hiki i ke kanaka ke hoomaopopo i na hana i hanaia malalo iho o ka la; oiaio hoi, ina e hooikaika ke kanaka e imi, aole nae i maopopo, ina e olelo ka mea naauao e ike ia, aole nae e hiki ia ia ke hoomaopopo aku.
Pea naʻaku mamata ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangata ʻae ngāue ʻoku fai ʻi he lalo laʻā: he neongo ʻae fai feinga hono kumi ʻe he tangata, ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia; ko eni foki; naʻa mo e tangata poto ʻoku mahalo te ne ʻiloʻi, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ia ʻe ia.
