Mpitoriteny 9
1 Fa ireto dia nalatsako tato am-poko sady nodinihiko avokoa: ny marina sy ny hendry mbamin’ ny asany dia samy eo an-tànan’ Andriamanitra avokoa; ary koa, na ho fitiavana, na ho fankahalana, dia samy tsy fantatry ny olombelona; fa zavatra mbola ho avy aminy avokoa izany rehetra izany.
He naʻaku tokanga ʻi hoku loto ki he meʻa ni kotoa pē ke u fakahā kotoa pē ia, ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e poto, pea mo ʻenau ngāue: ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tangata pe ko e ʻofeina ia pe ko e fehiʻanekina ʻi he meʻa ʻoku hoko mai kiate ia.
2 Mitovy avokoa ny manjo ny olombelona rehetra; eny, zavatra iray ihany no manjo ny marina sy ny meloka, ny tsara fanahy sy ny madio ary ny tsy madio, ny mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra sy ny tsy mamono zavatra hatao fanatitra; mitovy ihany ny amin’ ny tsara fanahy sy ny amin’ ny mpanota, ary ny amin’ ny mianiana sy ny amin’ izay tsy sahy hianiana.
He ʻoku hoko tatau ʻae meʻa fulipē ki he kakai kotoa pē: ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku hoko ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e angahala; ki he angalelei mo ia kuo fakamaʻa, pea ki he taʻemaʻa; kiate ia ʻoku feilaulau, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai fai ha feilaulau: ʻoku hangē ko ia ʻoku angalelei, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku angahala, pea ko ia ʻoku fuakava, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku manavahē ki he fuakava.
3 Izao no fahoriana amin’ izay rehetra atao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro: Zavatra iray ihany no manjo ny olombelona rehetra, sady feno ratsy ny fon’ ny zanak’ olombelona, ka fahadalana no ao am-pony amin’ ny andro iainany, ary nony afaka izany, dia ho any amin’ ny maty izy.
Ko e kovi eni ʻe taha ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻi he lalo laʻā, ʻae hoko tatau ʻae meʻa ki he kakai kotoa pē: ʻio, ʻoku fonu ʻi he kovi ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻae tangata, ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae vale ʻi heʻenau kei moʻui, pea hili ia ʻoku nau ʻalu ki he mate.
4 Fa izay rehetra isan’ ny velona dia mbola hantenaina; fa ny amboa velona no tsara noho ny liona maty.
He ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei kiate ia ʻoku kei kau ki he moʻui: he ʻoku lelei hake ʻae kulī ʻoku moʻui ʻi ha laione kuo mate.
5 Fa fantatry ny velona fa ho faty izy; fa ny maty kosa tsy mba mahalala na inona na inona, ary tsy manana valim-pitia intsony izy; fa hadino ny fahatsiarovana azy.
He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he kakai moʻui te nau mate: ka ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe he mate, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau kei maʻu ha totongi: he kuo ngalo ʻa honau fakamanatu.
6 Na ny fitiavany, na ny fankahalany, na ny fialonany, dia samy efa levona ela sady tsy manana anjara intsony mandrakizay amin’ izay atao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro izy.
Pea ko ʻenau ʻofa, mo ʻenau fehiʻa, mo ʻenau meheka, kuo ʻosi ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau kei maʻu honau tufakanga ʻi ha meʻa ʻoku fai ʻi he lalo laʻā ʻo taʻengata.
7 Mandehana, hano amin’ ny fifaliana ny haninao, ary sotroy amin’ ny fo falifaly ny divainao, fa efa nankasitrahan’ Andriamanitra ela ny asanao.
ʻAlu koe ʻi ho hala, pea kai hoʻo mā ʻi he fiefia, pea inu hoʻo uaine ʻi he loto fiemālie; he kuo maʻu ʻe he ʻOtua hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.
8 Aoka ho fotsy mandrakariva ny fitafianao, ary aoka tsy ho diso menaka ny lohanao.
Ke hinehina maʻuaipē ho ngaahi kofu; pea ʻoua naʻa masiva ho ʻulu ʻi he pani.
9 Miravoravoa amin’ ny vady malalanao amin’ ny andronao rehetra mandalo foana, izay efa nomeny anao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro, dia ny andronao rehetra mandalo foana; fa izany no anjaranao amin’ ny andro iainanao sy amin’ ny fisasarana izay isasaranao atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro.
Ke ke moʻui fiefia mo ho uaifi, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui vaʻinga, ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe ʻi he lalo laʻā, ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo vaʻinga: he ko ho ʻinasi ia ʻi he moʻui ni, mo e ngāue kuo ke fai ʻi he lalo laʻā.
10 Izay rehetra azon’ ny tananao atao dia ataovy amin’ ny herinao; fa tsy misy asa, na hevitra, na fahalalana, na fahendrena, any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izay alehanao. (Sheol h7585)
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ho nima ke fai, fai ia ʻaki ho mālohi kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai ha ngāue, pe ha filioʻi, pe ha ʻilo, pe ha poto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ary hitako atỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro indray fa tsy ho an’ ny haingan-tongotra ny fihoarana, ary tsy ho an’ ny mahery ny ady, ary tsy ho an’ ny hendry ny hanina, ary tsy ho an’ ny mazava saina ny harena, ary tsy ho an’ ny manam-pahalalana ny fitia; fa ny fotoana sy ny sampona dia samy mahazo azy rehetra.
Naʻaku tafoki mai, pea u mamata ʻi he lalo laʻā, ko e pue ʻoku ʻikai kiate ia ʻoku veʻe vave, pe ko e tau kiate ia ʻoku mālohi, pe ko e meʻakai kiate ia ʻoku poto, pe ko e koloa ki he kakai ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau, pe ko e ongoongolelei ki he kakai poto; he ʻoku maʻu taki taha kotoa pē hono ʻaho mo hono tuʻutuʻuni.
12 Fa tsy fantatry ny olona ny androny; fa toy ny hazandrano azon’ ny harato fahitan-doza izy, ary toy ny voron-kely izay voan’ ny fandrika, dia voafandrika toy izany ny zanak’ olombelona amin’ ny andro mahory, raha mahavoa azy tampoka izany.
He ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo foki ʻe he tangata ʻa hono ʻaho: ʻoku hangē ko e maʻu fakafokifā ʻoe ika ʻi he kupenga, pea hangē ko e maʻu ʻae manupuna ʻi he tauhele; ʻoku pehē ʻae tauheleʻi ʻae fānau ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kovi, ʻoka hoko fakafokifā ia kiate kinautolu.
13 Izao koa no fahendrena efa hitako tatỳ ambanin’ ny masoandro, ka dia nataoko ho lehibe izany:
Ko e poto ni foki kuo u mamata ki ai ʻi he lalo laʻā, pea naʻe matamata lahi ia kiate au.
14 Nisy vohitra kely sady vitsy olona, dia avy ny mpanjaka lehibe anankiray ka namely sy nanao fahirano azy ary nanao manda lehibe hamelezany azy.
Naʻe ai ʻae kihiʻi kolo, pea tokosiʻi ʻae kau tangata naʻe ʻi ai; pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tuʻi lahi ke ne tauʻi ia, pea naʻa ne kāpui ia, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻene tanu puke ki ai.
15 Ary nisy lehilahy malahelo hendry hita teo, koa nahavonjy ny tanàna tamin’ ny fahendreny ralehilahy, nefa tsy nisy olona mba nahatsiahy ilay malahelo.
Ka ko eni, naʻe ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae tangata masiva mo poto, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene poto naʻe hao ai ʻae kolo; ka naʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻe ha tokotaha ʻae tangata masiva ko ia.
16 Koa hoy izaho: Aleo fahendrena toy izay hery; kanjo hamavoina ny fahendren’ ny malahelo, ary ny teniny tsy mba henoina.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, ʻOku lelei hake ʻae poto ʻi he mālohi; ka ʻoku manukiʻi ʻae poto ʻoe tangata masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi ʻene ngaahi lea.
17 Ny tenin’ ny hendry izay re amin’ ny mangingina dia mahery noho ny fitreron’ izay mpanapaka adala.
ʻOku ongo lahi mai ʻae fanafana ʻae poto ʻi he kalanga ʻo ia ʻoku pule ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe vale.
18 Aleo fahendrena toy izay fiadiana; ary ny mpanota iray mahasimba ny soa be.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae poto ʻi he mahafutau: ka ʻoku maumauʻi ʻe he angahala ʻe tokotaha ʻae lelei lahi.
