< Hopa 14 >
1 Ko te tangata i whanau i te wahine, he torutoru ona ra; ki tonu ano i te raruraru.
“Ko e tangata kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine, ʻoku siʻi pe hono ngaahi ʻaho, pea fonu ʻi he mamahi.
2 Ano he puawai ia e puta mai ana, e kotia iho ana: rere ana ia, ano he atarangi, kahore hoki he tumautanga.
ʻOku tupu hake ia ʻo hangē ko e fisiʻi ʻakau, pea tuʻusi hifo: ʻoku puna foki ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻatā, ʻo ʻikai nofomaʻu.
3 E titiro mai ano ranei ou kanohi ki te penei? E mea ranei koe i ahau kia whakawa taua ki a taua?
Pea ʻoku ke fofonga ʻa ki ha taha pehē, mo ke ʻomi au ke fakamaau mo koe?
4 Ko wai hei homai i te mea ma i roto i te mea poke? Hore rawa.
Ko hai te ne faʻa ʻomi ʻae maʻa mei he taʻemaʻa? ʻIkai ha taha.
5 Kua rite na hoki nga ra mona: kei a koe te maha o ona marama; takoto rawa i a koe te tikanga mona, a e kore ia e whiti ki tua.
He kuo tukupau hono ngaahi ʻaho, ko e lau ʻo hono ngaahi māhina ʻoku ʻiate koe, kuo ke tuʻutuʻu ni hono fakangatangata ʻe ʻikai te ne toloiʻi;
6 Tahuri ke atu te titiro i a ia, kia ai ona pariratanga, kia ata tutuki ai tona ra, kia rite ai ki o te kaimahi.
“Afe atu meiate ia, ka ne mālōlō, kaeʻoua ke ne fakakakato hono ʻaho ʻo hangē ha ngāue unga.
7 Ka ai hoki he whakaaronga ki te rakau i tapahia, tera ano e pariri, e kore ano hoki e mutu te wana o tona pihi.
He ʻoku ʻamanaki ki he ʻakau, ʻo kapau ʻe tā hifo ia, ki heʻene toe tupu hake, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻosi hono huli ʻo ia.
8 Ahakoa kua tawhitotia tona pakiaka a ki te whenua, a kua mate tona tinana i roto i te oneone;
Neongo ʻae fakaʻaʻau ke motuʻa hono aka ʻi he kelekele, pea mate hono sino ʻi he efu;
9 Heoi ma te haunga o te wai ka pihi, ka kokiri ona peka ano ko ta te mea tupu.
Ka ʻi he nanamu ʻoe vai ʻe toe tupu ia, ʻo tupu ai ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻo hangē ha ʻakau.
10 Ko te tangata ia, mate iho, marere noa iho; ae, ka hamo te tangata, a kei hea ia?
Ka ʻoku mate pē ʻae tangata, ʻo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi: ʻio, ʻoku fononga ʻae tangata, pea kofaʻā ia?
11 Pera i nga wai e he mai nei i te moana, i te awa e mimiti ana, ka maroke;
ʻO hangē ʻoku mole ʻae ngaahi vai mei he tahi, pea matuʻu ʻo mōmoa ʻae ngaahi vaitafe:
12 E pera ana ano te tangata, e takoto ana a kahore he whakatikanga ake: kahore he marangatanga ake mo ratou, a kia kore ra ano nga rangi; e kore ano ratou e ara i to ratou moe.
ʻOku pehē ʻoku tokoto hifo ʻae tangata, pea ʻikai toetuʻu: ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻa pē tuʻu mei heʻenau mohe, kaeʻoua ke mole ʻae ngaahi langi.
13 Aue, kia huna noatia oti ahau e koe ki te po, kia waihotia noatia iho ahau e koe kia ngaro ana, kia hoki ra ano tou riri; kia rohea noatia mai e koe tetahi wa moku, a ka mahara mai ai ano ki ahau! (Sheol )
“Taumaiā te ke fufū au ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻo ke fakafufū au, kaeʻoua ke mole atu ho houhau, mo ke kotofa hoku ʻaho, ʻo manatuʻi au. (Sheol )
14 Ki te mate te tangata, e ora ano ranei ia? Ka tatari ahau i nga ra katoa o toku ngananga, kia tae mai ra ano he whakaputanga moku.
Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tangata, ʻe toe moʻui ia? Ko e ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē kuo kotofa kiate au te u tatali ai, kaeʻoua ke hoko hoku liliu.
15 Mau e karanga, kia whakao atu ai ahau; kahore hoki e kore ka matenui koe ki te mahi a ou ringa.
Te ke ui, pea te u talia koe: he te ke holi ki he ngāue ʻa ho nima.
16 Inaianei hoki e taua ana e koe oku hikoinga; he teka ianei e matatau tonu mai ana koe ki toku hara?
Ka ko eni, kuo ke lau ʻeku ngaahi laka: ʻikai ʻoku ke vakai ki heʻeku angahala?
17 Hiri rawa toku he ki roto ki te putea, tuitui rawa e koe toku kino.
Kuo fakamaʻu ʻeku kovi ʻi ha tangai, pea ʻoku ke tuitui ai ʻeku hia.
18 He pono ko te maunga e horo ana e memeha noa ake ana, e nekehia ana te toka i tona wahi;
“ʻO hangē ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ngata ʻae moʻunga kuo tō, pea ʻoku hiki ʻae fuʻu maka mei hono potu.
19 E ngau ana te wai i nga kohatu; ma tona puhaketanga e horoi atu te puehu o te whenua; a whakangaromia iho e koe te tumanako a te tangata.
ʻO hangē ʻoku holo ʻe he vai ʻae ngaahi maka: pea tāfea ʻo mole ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tupu ʻi he kelekele ʻoe fonua; ʻoku pehē hoʻo fakaʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻae tangata.
20 Taea ana ia e koe ake tonu atu, a pahure ana ia; puta ke ana i a koe tona mata, a tonoa atu ana ia kia haere.
ʻOku ke mālohi maʻuaipē kiate ia, pea ʻoku mole ia: ʻoku ke liliu hono mata mo ke fekau ia ke ʻalu.
21 Ko te whakahonoretanga o ana tama, kahore e mohiotia e ia; ka hoki iho ratou hei ware, heoi kahore tetahi aha o ratou e maharatia e ia.
ʻOku hoko ʻo ongoongo hono ngaahi foha, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo; pea ʻoku fakavaivai hifo ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne mamata ai.
22 E mamae ano ia te kikokiko o tona tinana, a ka tangi tona wairua i roto i a ia.
Ka ko hono kakano ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻe langa, pea ʻe mamahi mo hono laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate ia.”
