Whakatauki 2
1 E taku tama, ki te tango koe i aku kupu, ki te huna i aku whakahau ki roto ki a koe;
ʻE hoku foha, kapau te ke maʻu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea, mo fakafufū ʻiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
2 A ka tahuri tou taringa ki te whakaaro nui, ka anga ano tou ngakau ki te matauranga;
Koeʻuhi ke fakatokangaʻi ho telinga ki he poto, pea ke tokanga ai ho loto ki he faʻa fakakaukau;
3 Ae ra, ki te mea ka karangarangatia e koe te matauranga, a ka puaki tou reo ki te ngakau mohio;
ʻIo, kapau te ke tangi ki he ʻilo, pea ke hiki hake ho leʻo ke maʻu ʻae fakakaukau:
4 Ki te rapua hoki ia e koe ano he hiriwa, ki te kimihia ano he taonga huna;
Kapau te ke kumi ki ai ʻo hangē ko e siliva, pea hakule ki ai ʻo hangē ko e koloa kuo fufū;
5 Ko reira koe matau ai ki te wehi o Ihowa, kite ai i te mohio ki te Atua.
Te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae manavahē kia Sihova, pea maʻu ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe ʻOtua.
6 Ma Ihowa hoki e homai te whakaaro nui; no tona mangai te matauranga me te ngakau mohio.
He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae poto: ʻoku haʻu mei hono fofonga ʻae ʻilo mo e fakakaukau.
7 E rongoatia ana e ia te whakaaro nui ma te hunga tika; he whakangungu rakau ia mo te hunga he tapatahi nei te haere;
ʻOku tokonaki ʻe ia ʻae poto ʻaonga maʻa e kakai māʻoniʻoni: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he angatonu.
8 Kia tiakina ai e ia nga ara o te whakawa, kia tohungia ai te ara o tana hunga tapu.
ʻOku ne tauhi ʻae hala ʻoe fakamaau; pea ʻoku ne maluʻi ʻae hala ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9 Ko reira koe mohio ai ki te tika, ki te whakawa, ki te mea ano e rite ana, ae ra, ki nga ara pai katoa.
Pea te ke toki ʻilo ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fakamaau, mo e fai totonu; ʻio, ʻae hala lelei kotoa pē.
10 Ka uru hoki te whakaaro nui ki roto ki tou ngakau, a ka reka te matauranga ki tou wairua;
ʻOka hū ʻae poto ki ho loto, pea mālie ʻae ʻilo ki ho laumālie;
11 Ka ai te ngarahu pai hei tiaki i a koe, te ngakau mohio hei pupuri i a koe;
ʻE fakamoʻui koe ʻe he faʻa fakakaukau, pea ʻe tauhi koe ʻe he poto:
12 Hei kukume mai i a koe i te ara o te kino, i te tangata e puta ke ana ana korero;
Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he hala ʻoe tangata kovi, mei he tangata ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi;
13 I te hunga e whakarere nei i nga ara o te tika, e haere ana i nga ara o te pouri;
ʻAia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, kae ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe fakapoʻuli;
14 E koa ana, i a ratou e mahi ana i te kino, e hari ana ki nga tikanga parori ke o te kino;
ʻAia ʻoku fiefia ke fai kovi, pea ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he talangataʻa ʻae angahala;
15 He ara kopikopiko o ratou, he whanoke ratou i o ratou huarahi:
Pea ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala, pea kovi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga:
16 Hei whakaora i a koe i te wahine tauhou, i te wahine tauhou e whakapati nei ki ana kupu;
Ke fakamoʻui koe mei he fefine muli, ʻio, mei he muli ʻoku lea fakaoloolo;
17 Kua whakarerea nei e ia te hoa o tona tamahinetanga, kua wareware ki te kawenata o tona Atua.
ʻAia kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fakahinohino ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo ne fakangalongaloʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hono ʻOtua.
18 E heke atu ana hoki tona whare ki te mate, ona ara ki nga tupapaku.
He ʻoku tahifohifo hono fale ki he mate, pea mo hono ʻalunga ki he kakai mate.
19 Ko te hunga katoa e haere atu ana ki a ia e kore e hoki mai; e kore ano e mau i a ratou nga ara o te ora.
ʻOku ʻikai toe foki mai ha taha ʻoku ʻalu atu kiate ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke puke ʻekinautolu ki he ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui.
20 A ka haere koe i nga ara o nga tangata pai, ka mau ano ki nga ara o te hunga tika.
Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi he hala ʻae kakai angalelei, pea ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
21 Ka noho hoki te hunga tika ki te whenua; ka mau te hunga ngakau tapatahi ki reira.
Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe nofomaʻu ʻi ai ʻae haohaoa.
22 Ka hatepea atu ia te hunga kino i runga i te whenua; ka hutia atu i reira te hunga he kopeka ta ratou mahi.
Ka ʻe motuhi atu ʻae angahala mei he māmani, pea ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei ai ʻae fai kovi.
