Whakatauki 21
1 Kei roto te ngakau o te kingi i te ringa o Ihowa ano he awa rerenga wai; e whakaangahia ana e ia ki nga wahi katoa e pai ai ia.
ʻOku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe: he ʻoku ne fefakatafoki ʻaki ia ko ʻene faʻiteliha ʻaʻana.
2 Ko nga ara katoa o te tangata, tika kau ki ona kanohi ake: ko Ihowa ia hei pauna i nga ngakau.
ʻOku matamata totonu ʻae hala kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ki hono mata ʻoʻona: ka ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae loto.
3 Ko te mahi i te tika, i te whakawa, ki ta Ihowa, pai atu i te patunga tapu.
Ko e fai totonu mo e fakamaau, ʻoku lelei hake ia kia Sihova ʻi he feilaulau.
4 He kanohi whakakake, he ngakau whakapehapeha, a ko te rama hoki o te hunga kino, he hara kau.
Ko e mata ʻoku fieʻeiki, mo e loto fielahi, pea mo e keli ʻae kakai angakovi, ko e angahala ia.
5 Ko nga whakaaro o te tangata uaua e ahu anake ana ki te hua o te taonga: ko te hunga takare katoa ia e whawhai kau ana ki te muhore.
ʻOku tupu ʻae mahu ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae faʻa ngāue; ka ko e masiva pe kiate ia ʻoku fai fakavavevave noa pe.
6 E rite ana ta te arero teka ami i te taonga ki te mamaoa e aia noatia ana; ko te hunga e rapu ana i era e rapu ana i te mate.
Ko e maʻu ʻae koloa lahi ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo loi, ko e vaʻinga ia ʻoku vilingia fano ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki he mate.
7 Ma te pahua a te hunga kino e tahi atu ratou; mo ratou kahore e pai ki te whakawa.
Ko e kaihaʻa ʻae kakai angakovi ʻe ʻauha ai ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau loto ki he fai totonu.
8 He ara tino kopikopiko to te tangata e waha ana i te hara: tena ko te tangata ma, he tika tana mahi.
ʻOku pikopiko mo ʻalu kehe ʻae hala ʻoe tangata: ka ʻoku totonu ʻae ngāue ʻaʻana ʻoku loto maʻa.
9 He pai ke te noho i te kokonga o te tuanui, i te noho tahi me te wahine ngangare i roto i te whare mahorahora.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae nofo ki he tuliki ʻi ha tuʻafale, ʻi he nofo ʻi loto fale mo ha fefine ʻoku faʻa kē.
10 Ko ta te wairua o te tangata kino he hiahia ki te kino; e kore ona kanohi e manako ki tona hoa.
ʻOku holi ki he kovi ʻae laumālie ʻoe angahala: pea ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ha lelei ʻe hono kaungāʻapi ʻi hono ʻao.
11 Ki te whiua te tangata whakahi, ka whai whakaaro te kuware: a, ki te whakaakona te tangata whakaaro nui, ka whiwhi ia ki te matauranga.
ʻOka tautea ʻaia ʻoku faʻa manuki, ʻe poto ai ʻae vale: pea ka akonekina ʻae poto, ʻoku ne maʻu ai ʻae ʻilo.
12 Ka ata whakaaroa e te tangata tika te whare o te tangata kino; te peheatanga e whakataka ai te hunga kino ki te mate mo ratou.
ʻOku fakakaukau poto ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni ki he fale ʻoe angahala: pea ʻoku lī ki lalo ʻae angahala ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala.
13 Ko te tangata e puru ana i ona taringa ki te karanga a te rawakore, tera hoki ia e karanga, heoi e kore e whakarangona.
Ko ia ʻe tāpuni hono telinga ki he tangi ʻae masiva ʻe tangi foki ia, ka ʻe ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe ha taha.
14 Ma te mea homai puku ka marie ai te riri, ma te moni whakapati hoki i roto i te uma ka marie ai te aritarita kaha.
ʻOku lolomi ʻae ʻita ʻoka ʻatu fufū ha meʻa foaki: pea ʻoku taʻofi ʻe he totongi fufū ʻae houhau lahi.
15 He mahi koa na te tangata tika te whakawa; mo nga kaimahi ia i te kino, ko te whakangaromanga.
Ko e fakamaau ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha ki he fai kovi.
16 Ko te tangata e kotiti ke ana i te huarahi o te mahara, ka noho ia i te whakaminenga o nga tupapaku.
ʻE nofomaʻu ʻi he fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai mate, ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku hē mei he hala ʻoe poto.
17 Ko te tangata matenui ki nga ahuareka, ka rawakore: a, ko te tangata e matenui ana ki te waina, ki te hinu, e kore e whai taonga.
Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he vaʻinga ʻe hoko ia ko e tangata masiva: ʻe ʻikai koloaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku manako ki he kava mo e lolo.
18 Hei utu te tangata kino mo te tangata tika; a ka haere mai te tangata kopeka hei whakakapi mo te tangata tu tika.
ʻE fetongi ʻe he angahala ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea mo ia ʻoku fai kovi ʻae angatonu.
19 He pai ke te noho i te koraha, i te noho tahi me te wahine tohetohe, wahine pukukino.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae nofo ʻi he toafa, ʻi he nonofo mo ha fefine faʻa kē mo faʻa ʻita.
20 Kei te nohoanga o te tangata whakaaro nui te taonga momohanga me te hinu; heoi maumauria ake e te wairangi.
ʻOku ai ʻae koloa ke manako ki ai, pea mo e lolo ʻi he fale ʻoe poto; ka ʻoku fakaʻosi noa pe ia ʻe he tangata vale.
21 Ko te tangata e whai ana i te tika, i te atawhai, ka whiwhi ki te ora, ki te tika, ki te honore.
Ko ia ʻoku tulituli pau ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻaloʻofa te ne maʻu ʻae moʻui, mo e māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e ongolelei.
22 Ka pikitia e te tangata whakaaro nui te pa o nga marohirohi, ka taka hoki i a ia te kaha i whakawhirinaki ai ratou.
ʻOku kaka ʻe he tangata poto ʻae ʻā ʻoe kolo ʻae mālohi, ʻo ne maumauʻi hono mālohi mo ene viki.
23 Ko te tangata e tiaki ana i tona mangai, i tona arero, e tiaki ana i tona wairua kei raru.
Ko ia ʻoku tauhi hono ngutu mo hono ʻelelo, ʻoku fakahaofi ʻe ia hono laumālie mei he ngaahi mamahi.
24 Ko te tangata whakakake, whakapehapeha, ko te tangata whakahi tona ingoa, e mahi ana ia i runga i te whakahirahira o tona whakamanamana.
Ko fielahi mo manuki fieʻeiki, ko e hingoa ia ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻita ʻi he laukau.
25 Ka mate te tangata mangere i tona hiahia ano; e kore hoki ona ringa e pai ki te mahi.
Ko e holi ʻae fakapikopiko ʻe mate ai ia; he ʻoku fakafisi hono nima ki he ngāue.
26 Tera te hanga he kaiapo tonu a pau noa te ra: ko ta te tangata tika ia he homai, kahore hoki ana kaiponu.
ʻOku manumanu ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo poʻuli: ka ʻoku faʻa foaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻikai te ne faʻa taʻofia ia.
27 He mea whakarihariha te whakahere a te tangata kino; tera noa ake ina he te whakaaro i kawea mai ai e ia.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae feilaulau ʻae angahala: kae huanoa ʻi hono ʻomi ia mo e loto kovi!
28 Ka mate te kaiwhakaatu teka; na, ko te tangata whakarongo, ka korero, kahore he kaiwhakahe.
ʻE ʻauha ʻae fakamoʻoni loi: ka ko e tangata ʻoku faʻa fakafanongo ʻoku lea maau ia.
29 Ka whakamaro te tangata kino i tona mata: tena ko te tangata tika, ka whakapai i ona ara.
ʻOku fakafefeka ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻa hono mata: ka ʻoku fakakaukau ʻe he angatonu ki hono hala.
30 I to Ihowa aroaro kahore he whakaaro nui, kahore he matauranga, kahore he kupu mohio, e tu.
ʻOku ʻikai ha poto pe ha fakakaukau, pe ha tuʻutuʻuni ʻe faʻa tuʻu kia Sihova.
31 Kua rite noa ake he hoiho mo te ra o te whawhai; kei a Ihowa ia te whakaoranga.
ʻOku teuteu ʻae hoosi ki he ʻaho ʻoe tau: ka ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae faʻa ikuna.
