Whakatauki 15
1 Ma te kupu ngawari e kaupare te riri; ma te kupu taimaha ia e whakaoho te riri.
ʻOku tekeʻi atu ʻae houhau ʻe he tali fakavaivai: ka ʻoku fakatupu ʻae ʻita ʻi he lea fakamamahi.
2 Ko te arero o te tangata whakaaro nui e whakahua tika ana i te matauranga: e whakapuaki ana ia te mangai o nga kuware i te wairangi.
ʻOku ngāue totonu ʻaki ʻae ʻilo ʻe he ʻelelo ʻoe poto: ka ʻoku malingi ʻae vale mei he ngutu ʻoe vale.
3 Kei nga wahi katoa nga kanohi o Ihowa, e titiro ana ki te hunga kino, ki te hunga pai.
ʻOku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kovi mo e lelei.
4 Ko te arero reka he rakau no te ora; tena ki te wanoke a roto he wawahi wairua.
Ko e ʻelelo fakamoʻui ko e ʻakau ia ʻoe moʻui: pea ka talangataʻa ia ko e maumau ia ʻoe laumālie.
5 E whakahawea ana te wairangi ki te papaki a tona papa; ko te tangata ia e mahara ana ki te ako ka mohio ki te tupato.
ʻOku fehiʻa ʻae vale ki he akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku fakapotopoto ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
6 He nui te taonga kei te whare o te tangata tika; he raruraru ia kei roto i nga mea hua ki te tangata kino.
ʻOku ai ʻae koloa lahi ʻi he fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku ai ʻae mamahi ʻi he koloa ʻae angahala.
7 E ruia ana te matauranga e nga ngutu o nga whakaaro nui: kahore ia he pena a te ngakau o nga kuware.
ʻOku tufa atu ʻae poto ʻe he loungutu ʻoe poto: ka ʻoku ʻikai ke fai pehē ʻe he loto ʻoe vale.
8 He mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowa te whakahere a te hunga kino: engari e manako ana ia ki te inoi a te hunga tika.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻae angahala: ka ko e lotu ʻae angatonu ʻoku ne fiemālie ai.
9 He mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowa te huarahi o te tangata kino: ko te tangata ia e whai ana i te tika tana e aroha ai.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe angakovi: ka ʻoku ne ʻofa kiate ia ʻoku muimui ki he māʻoniʻoni.
10 He kino te papaki ki te tangata e whakarere ana i te ara; a, ko te tangata e kino ana ki te ako, ka mate.
Ko e meʻa fakamamahi ʻae tautea kiate ia kuo liʻaki ʻae hala: pea ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he valoki ʻe mate ia.
11 Kei te aroaro o Ihowa te reinga me te whakangaromanga; engari rawa hoki nga ngakau o nga tama a te tangata. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOku ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻa hētesi pea mo e fakaʻauha: kae muʻa hake ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻae tangata! (Sheol h7585)
12 E kore te tangata whakahi e aroha ki te kaipapaki; e kore hoki e haere ki te hunga whakaaro nui.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻofa ʻae tangata manuki kiate ia ʻoku valokiʻi ia: pea ʻoku ʻikai fie ʻalu atu ia ki he poto.
13 Ma te koa o te ngakau ka pai ai te mata: ma te pouri ia o te ngakau ka maru ai te wairua.
ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae mata ʻe he loto ʻoku fiemālie: ka ʻoku maumauʻi ʻae laumālie ʻe he mamahi ʻoe loto.
14 E rapu ana te ngakau mohio i te matauranga; ko te kuware ia ta te mangai o nga wairangi e kai ai.
ʻOku kumi ki he poto ʻe he loto ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻilo: ka ʻoku kai ʻae vale ʻe he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
15 He kino nga ra katoa o te hunga pouri; he hakari tonu ta te tangata i te ngakau marama.
ʻOku kovi ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻonautolu ʻoku mamahi: ka ʻoku fai kātoanga maʻuaipē ia ʻaia ʻoku loto fiemālie.
16 He pai ke te iti i kinakitia ki te wehi ki a Ihowa, i te nui taonga i kinakitia ki te raruraru.
ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻae meʻa siʻi mo e manavahē kia Sihova, ʻi he koloa lahi ʻoku maʻu mo e kovi.
17 He pai ake te tina puwha ko te aroha hei kinaki, i te kau whangai e kinakitia ana ki te mauahara.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae meʻakai ʻaki ʻae louʻakau pea ai mo e ʻofa, ʻi he kai ha pulu kuo fafanga, kae maʻu mo e fehiʻa.
18 He whakaoho tautohe ta te tangata pukuriri: he pehi pakanga ia ta te tangata manawanui.
ʻOku fakatupu ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻita ʻae feʻiteʻitani: ka ʻoku lolomi ʻae feʻiteʻitani ʻe ia ʻoku fakatotoka ki he ʻita.
19 Ko te ara o te tangata mangere, ano he taiepa tataramoa; he ara nui ia to te tangata tika.
ʻOku tatau ʻae hala ʻoe tangata fakapikopiko mo e ʻā ʻakau talatala: ka ʻoku hangamālie ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
20 He tama whakaaro nui, ka koa te papa: tena ko te tama kuware, he whakahawea ki tona whaea.
ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tamai ʻe he foha ʻoku poto: ka ʻoku fehiʻa ʻae tangata vale ki heʻene faʻē.
21 Ki te tangata maharakore he mea whakahari te wairangi; he tika ia te haere a te tangata matau.
Ko e vale ko e fakafiefia ia kiate ia ʻoku taʻemaʻu ʻae poto: ka ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu ʻae tangata ʻoku faʻa ʻilo.
22 Ki te kahore he runanga, ka pororaru nga tikanga: ma te tokomaha ia o nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro ka mau ai.
ʻOku ʻikai hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni, ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva fakakaukau: ka ʻi he tokolahi hono kau fakakaukauʻi ʻoku toki maʻu ai ia.
23 Kei ta tona mangai i whakahoki ai he koa mo te tangata: ko te kupu i te wa i tika ai, ano te pai!
ʻOku maʻu ʻe he tangata ʻae fiefia ʻi he lea ʻa hono ngutu: pea ko e lea ʻoku fai ʻi hono kuonga totonu, hono ʻikai lelei fau ia!
24 Ki te tangata whakaaro nui e ahu whakarunga ana te ara ki te ora, he mea kia mahue ai i a ia te reinga o raro. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOku māʻolunga ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku poto, koeʻuhi ke nau hao mei heli ʻoku ʻi lalo. (Sheol h7585)
25 Ka hutia ake e Ihowa te whare o te tangata whakakake: engari ka whakapumautia e ia te rohe o te pouaru.
ʻE fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻoe fielahi: ka ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ia ʻae kauhala ʻoe fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
26 He mea whakarihariha ki a Ihowa nga whakaaro nanakia; he mea kohakore ia nga kupu ahuareka.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻae angakovi: ka ko e ngaahi lea ʻae māʻoniʻoni ko e ngaahi lea ia ʻoku lelei.
27 Ko te tangata apo taonga, raruraru ana i a ia tona whare; ka ora ia te tangata e kino ana ki nga mea homai noa.
Ko ia ʻoku manumanu ki he koloa, ʻoku fakafiuʻi ʻe ia hono fale ʻoʻona; ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻe moʻui ia.
28 Ko te ngakau o te tangata tika e ata whakaaro ana ki te kupu hei whakahokinga; ko te mangai ia o te tangata kino e tahoro ana i nga mea kikino.
ʻOku fakakaukau ʻe he loto ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae lea te ne tali ʻaki: ka ʻoku malingi mei he ngutu ʻoe angahala ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi.
29 E matara ana a Ihowa i te hunga kino: otiia e rongo ana ia ki te inoi a te hunga tika.
ʻOku mamaʻo ʻaupito ʻa Sihova mei he angahala: ka ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻae lotu ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
30 Ma te marama o nga kanohi ka koa ai te ngakau: a ma te rongo pai ka momona ai nga wheua.
ʻOku fiefia ʻae loto ʻi he maama ʻoe mata: pea ʻoku tupu ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻae huhuʻa ʻoe hui.
31 Ko te taringa e whakarongo ana ki te whakatupato e ora ai, ka noho i waenga i te hunga whakaaro nui.
Ko e telinga ʻoku fakafanongo ki he valoki fakamoʻui, ʻe nofomaʻu ia ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe poto.
32 Ko te tangata e whakakahore ana ki te papaki, e whakahawea ana ki tona wairua; engari ko te tangata e rongo ana ki te ako, ka whiwhi ki te ngakau mahara.
Ko ia ʻoku manuki ki he akonaki, ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: ka ko ia ʻoku fanongo ki he valoki, ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae loto poto.
33 Ko te wehi ki a Ihowa te ako o te whakaaro nui; ko te ngakau whakaiti hoki e haere ana i mua i te honore.
Ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e akonaki ia ʻoe poto; pea ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻae angavaivai ʻi he hakeakiʻi.
