Whakatauki 28
1 E rere ana te hunga kino i te mea kahore he kaiwhai: ko te tangata tika ano ia, ano he raiona te maia.
ʻOku hola ʻae kakai fai kovi ʻi he ʻikai tuli ki ai ha taha: ka ʻoku toʻa ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e laione.
2 He he no tetahi whenua i tokomaha ai ona rangatira; na kia ai he tangata e mahara ana, e matau ana, ka mau roa ai tona ahua.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai hala ʻae fonua ko ia, ʻoku tupu ʻo tokolahi ai hono houʻeiki: ka koeʻuhi ko e tangata poto mo ʻiloʻilo ʻe fakatolonga ai hono lelei.
3 Ko te tangata rawakore e tukino ana i nga ware, ko tona rite kei te ua ta e kore ai te kai.
Ko e tangata masiva ʻoku fakamālohi ki he masiva, ʻoku tatau pe ia mo e ʻuha lolo ʻoku ʻauha ai ʻae meʻakai.
4 Ko te hunga e whakarere ana i te ture, he whakamoemiti ta ratou ki te tangata kino: ko ta nga kaipupuri ia o te ture he ngangare ki a ratou.
ʻOku fakamālō ki he angahala ʻekinautolu ʻoku liʻaki ʻae fono: ka ʻoku fakakikihi mo kinautolu ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ki he fono.
5 E kore te hunga kino e mohio ki te whakawa: ko te hunga ia e rapu ana i a Ihowa, ka mohio ratou ki nga mea katoa.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻe he kakai angakovi: ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻekinautolu ʻoku kumi kia Sihova.
6 He pai ki te rawakore e haere ana i runga i tona tapatahi, i te tangata he parori ke ona ara, ahakoa he whai taonga ia.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻaia ʻoku masiva ka ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻene angatonu, ʻiate ia ʻoku koloaʻia ka ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala.
7 Ko te tangata e pupuri ana i te ture, he tamaiti mohio ia; engari ko te tangata whakahoa ki te hunga kakai, ka whakama tona papa i a ia.
Ko ia ʻoku fai ki he fono ko e foha poto ia: ka ko ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai fakamaveuveu ʻoku fakamaaʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamai.
8 Ko te tangata e whakanui ana i ona rawa ki te moni whakatupu, ki te whakapiki utu, e kohia ana e ia era ma te tangata e atawhaitia ai te rawakore.
Ko ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻene koloa ʻi he foaki paʻanga ke toe totongi mai, mo e fai taʻetotonu, ʻe tānaki ia ʻe ia ki ha taha ʻe manavaʻofa ki he masiva.
9 Ko te tangata e tahuri ke ana tona taringa, a kahore e rongo ki te ture, ko tana inoi nei ano he mea whakarihariha.
Ko ia ʻoku fakatafoki hono telinga ke ʻoua naʻa ne fanongo ki he fono, ʻe hoko ʻene lotu ʻaʻana ko e meʻa fakalielia.
10 Ko te tangata i meinga ai te hunga tika kia kotiti ke ki te ara he, ka taka a ia ano ki tana ake poka: ka whiwhi ia te hunga ngakau tapatahi ki te pai.
Ko ia ʻe fakahēʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻalu ʻi ha hala kovi, ʻe tō pe foki ia ki heʻene luo ʻaʻana: ka ʻe maʻu ʻe he fai totonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei.
11 Ki te whakaaro a te tangata taonga he nui tona whakaaro mohio; otiia e rapua ana tana e te rawakore whai whakaaro.
ʻOku poto ʻae tangata koloaʻia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona; ka ʻoku ʻiloʻi ia ʻe he tangata masiva ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau.
12 Nui atu te ataahua, ina koa te hunga tika: engari ki te ara te hunga kino, ka huna nga tangata i a ratou.
ʻOka fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ai ʻae ongoongolelei lahi: ka ʻoka pule ʻae angahala, kuo fakafufū ʻae tangata.
13 Ko te tangata e hipoki ana i ona he, e kore tana e kake; ko te tangata ia e whaki ana, a e whakarere ana, ka tohungia.
ʻE ʻikai monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻene ngaahi angahala: ka ko ia ʻoku vete ia mo liʻaki ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
14 Ka hari te tangata e wehi tonu ana: ko te tangata ia e whakapakeke ana i tona ngakau, ka taka ki te kino.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku manavahē maʻuaipē: ka ʻe tō ki he kovi ʻaia ʻoku fakafefeka hono loto.
15 E rite ana ki te raiona e hamama ana, ki te pea e kopikopiko ana, te tangata kino e kingi ana ki te iwi rawakore.
ʻO hangē ko e laione ngungulu, mo e pea ʻoku ʻoho fano; ʻoku pehē ʻae pule ʻoku angakovi ki heʻene kakai masiva.
16 Ko te rangatira kore whakaaro he nui ano tana tukino: ko te tangata ia e kino ana ki te apo ka roa ona ra.
Ko e tuʻi foki ʻoku masiva ʻi he fakakaukau, ʻoku lahi ʻene fakamālohi: ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he manumanu, ʻoku fakatolonga ʻe ia hono ngaahi ʻaho.
17 Ko te tangata e waha ana i te toto o te tangata, ka rere ia ki roto ki te rua; kaua tetahi e pupuri i a ia.
Ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku fai fakamālohi ki he toto ʻo ha tokotaha ʻe mole ia ki he luo; ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.
18 Ko te tangata he tapatahi nei te haere, ka ora: ko te tangata ia he parori ke ona ara, hinga tonu iho.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu ʻe fakamoʻui ia: ka ʻe hinga leva ia ʻaia ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala.
19 Ko te tangata e ngaki ana i tona oneone, ka makona i te taro; ko te tangata ia e whai ana i te hunga wairangi, ka whiwhi nui ki te rawakore.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa ngāue ki heʻene ngoue ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae meʻakai lahi: ka ʻe lahi moʻoni ʻae masiva kiate ia ʻoku muimui ki he kakai taʻepoto.
20 Ko te tangata pono, ka nui nga manaaki mona: ko te tangata ia e hikaka ana ki te mea taonga, e kore ia e kore te whiwhi i te he.
ʻE lahi ʻaupito ʻae tāpuaki ki he tangata ʻoku angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke ne koloaʻia ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ia.
21 Ko te whakapai kanohi ehara i te mea pai: ehara ano hoki i te mea pai kia he te tangata mo te kongakonga taro.
ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke filifilimānako: he ko e tangata ʻoku pehē, ʻe fai hala ia ke ne maʻu ai ha konga mā.
22 Ko te tangata he kino tona kanohi e takare tonu ana ki te taonga; kahore hoki ia e whakaaro ka tae mai te kore o te rawa ki a ia.
ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻoku fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke ne koloaʻia ʻae mata ʻoku kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi ʻe hoko mai ʻae masiva kiate ia.
23 Ko te tangata i riria ai te he o tetahi ka nui atu te manako ki a ia i muri iho, i te manako ki te tangata i whakapati nei tona arero.
Ko ia ʻoku lea valoki ki ha tangata ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻofa lahi hake, ʻamui ʻiate ia ʻoku lea lapu ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo.
24 Ko te tangata e pahua ana i tona papa, i tona whaea, a e ki ana, Ehara i te he; he hoa ia no te kaiwhakangaro.
Ko ia ʻoku kaihaʻa mei heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e fai hala ia;” ʻoku kaumeʻa ia mo e tangata fakaʻauha.
25 Ko ta te tangata ngakau apo he whakapatari pakanga: ko te tangata ia e okioki ana ki a Ihowa ka tetere.
Ko ia ʻoku loto fielahi ʻoku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
26 He kuware te tangata e whakawhirinaki ana ki tona ake ngakau: ko te tangata ia e haere ana i runga i te whakaaro nui, ka mawhiti.
Ko ia ʻoku falala ki hono loto ʻoʻona ko e vale ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻalu fakapotopoto, ʻe fakahaofi ia.
27 Ko te tangata e hoatu ana ki te rawakore, e kore ia e hapa; ko te tangata ia e kaupare ana i ona kanohi, ka maha nga kanga mona.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa foaki ki he masiva ʻe ʻikai masiva ia: ka ko ia ʻoku fufū hono mata ʻe lahi ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻe hoko ki ai.
28 Ka ara te hunga kino, ka huna nga tangata i a ratou: na ki te ngaro ratou, ka tupu te hunga tika.
ʻOka hakeakiʻi ʻae angahala, ʻoku toitoi ʻae kakai: ka ʻoka ʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻoku tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
