Halelu 12

1 E KOKUA mai, e Iehova; no ka mea, ua oki ke kanaka lokomaikai; Ua pau hoi ka poe hoopono iwaena o na keiki a kanaka.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Semini, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakamoʻui; he kuo ngata ʻae tangata anga fakaʻotua; he ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo tokosiʻi ʻae angatonu ʻi he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.

2 Ke kamailio nei kekahi i kekahi i ka mea lapuwale, Me na lehelehe malimali a me ka naau lua e olelo nei lakou.

‌ʻOku nau taki taha lea loi ki hono kaungāʻapi: ʻoku nau lea ʻi he loungutu lapu mo e kākā.

3 E oki ana no o Iehova i na lehelehe malimali a pau, A me ke alelo e haanui ana i na mea nui;

‌ʻE fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi loungutu lapu kotoa pē, pea mo e ʻelelo ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakafielahi:

4 Ka i olelo iho, Me ko kakou alelo e lanakila ai kakou; No kakou no ko kakou mau lehelehe: Owai la ka Haku maluna o kakou?

‌ʻAkinautolu naʻe pehē, “Te tau ikuna ʻaki hotau ʻelelo; ʻoku ʻotautolu pe hotau loungutu: ko hai ʻae ʻeiki kiate kitautolu?

5 No ka luhihewa ana o ka poe ilihune, No ka auwe ana o ka poe kaniuhu, E ku ai au iluna ano, wahi a Iehova, E hoonoho au ia ia i kahi ola, ke puhiia mai ia.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamālohiʻi ʻoe masiva, mo e ngaahi mafulu ʻoe vaivai, te u tuʻu hake; te u fokotuʻu moʻui ia meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku manuki kiate ia.”

6 O na olelo a Iehova, he mau olelo maemae no ia, Me he kala la i hoaoia i ka umulepo, ehiku ka hoomaemae ana.

Ko e ngaahi folofola ʻa Sihova ko e folofola maʻa ia: ʻo hangē ko e siliva kuo ʻahiʻahi ʻi he kulo ʻumea, kuo tuʻo fitu hono fakamaʻa.

7 Nau no lakou e malama mai, e Iehova, Nau no lakou e hoola, mai keia hanauna aku a i ka manawa pau ole.

‌ʻE Sihova, te ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, te ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he toʻutangata ni ʻo taʻengata.

8 E hele ana no ka poe hewa i kela aoao a i keia aoao, I ka manawa i hookiekieia'i na kanaka ino loa.

‌ʻOku ʻeveʻeva ʻae angakovi ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻoka hakeakiʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻoku mātuʻaki kovi.
