Whakatauki 29
1 Ko te tangata he maha nei nga riringa i tona he, a ka whakapakeke i tona kaki, ka whatiia ohoreretia ia; te taea te rongoa.
Ko ia kuo liunga lahi hono valokiʻi kae fakakekeva ʻe ia hono kia, ʻe fakaʻauha fakafokifā ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ki ai.
2 Ka whakanuia te hunga tika, ka koa te iwi; ka kingi te tangata kino, ka aue te iwi.
ʻOka pule ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae kakai: ka ʻoka maʻu ʻae pule ʻe he angahala ʻoku mamahi ai ʻae kakai.
3 Ko te tangata e matenui ana ki te whakaaro nui e whakahari ana i tona papa; ko te tangata ia e piri ana ki nga wahine kairau, he maumau taonga tana.
Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he poto ʻoku ne fakafiefiaʻi ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku maumauʻi ʻene koloa ʻe ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki.
4 Ma te whakawa a te kingi e mau ai te whenua; ka whakataka ia e te tangata e tango ana i nga mea homai noa.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaau totonu ʻae tuʻi ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ai ʻae fonua: ka ko ia ʻoku ne faʻa maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoku ne fakamalaʻia ia.
5 Ko te tangata e whakapati ana ki tona hoa, e whakatakoto kupenga ana mo ona waewae.
Ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku lea lapu ki hono kaungāʻapi, ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻe ia ʻae kupenga ki hono vaʻe.
6 He rore kei roto i te he o te tangata kino; ko te tangata tika ia he waiata tana, he koa.
Ko e fai angahala ʻae tangata angakovi ko e tauhele ia: ka ʻoku hiva mo fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
7 E mahara ana te tangata tika ki te take a te rawakore: kahore o te tangata kino whakaaro kia mohiotia e ia.
ʻOku tokanga ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki he masiva: ka ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae angakovi ke ʻiloʻi ia.
8 Ma nga tangata whakahi e tahu te pa kia mura: ko ta te hunga whakaaro nui ia he whakatahuri atu i te riri.
ʻOku tutu ʻae kolo ʻe he kau tangata manuki; ka ʻoku taʻofi atu ʻae houhau ʻe he kakai poto.
9 Ki te totohe te tangata whakaaro nui ki te tangata wairangi, ahakoa riri ia, kata ranei, kahore he tanga.
Kapau ʻoku fakakikihi ʻae tangata poto mo ha tangata vale, neongo ʻene lili pe kata, ʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻe tupu ai.
10 E mauahara ana te tangata whakaheke toto ki te tangata i te ngakau tapatahi: tena ko te hunga tika, ka whai ratou kia whakaorangia ia.
ʻOku fehiʻa ki he angatonu ʻaia ʻoku fieinu ki he toto: ka ʻoku kumi hono laumālie ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
11 E tuakina ana e te wairangi tona riri katoa ki waho: e puritia mai ana ia e te tangata whakaaro nui, e pehia ana.
ʻOku fakahā ʻe he vale ʻa hono loto kotoa pē: ka ʻoku fakalaulauloto ʻe he poto ki he ʻamui:
12 Ki te whakarongo te rangatira ki te teka, he kino katoa ana tangata.
Kapau ʻoku faʻa tokanga ʻaia ʻoku pule ki he ngaahi loi, ʻe hoko ʻo kovi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
13 E tutaki ana te rawakore raua ko te kaitukino ki a raua; ko Ihowa te kaiwhakamarama o nga kanohi o raua tokorua.
ʻOku faʻa fakataha pe ʻae masiva pea mo e kākā: pea ʻoku fakatou māmangia hona mata meia Sihova.
14 Ko te kingi e pono ana tana whakawa mo nga rawakore, ka whakapumautia tona torona ake ake.
ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu ke taʻengata ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia ʻoku fai totonu ʻae fakamaau ki he masiva.
15 Ko te whiu, ko te riri i te he, he mea homai era i te whakaaro nui: tena ko te tamaiti mahue noa, ka whakama i a ia tona whaea.
ʻOku tupu ʻae poto mei he meʻa tā mo e valoki: ka ko e tamasiʻi ʻoku tuku pe ki heʻene faʻiteliha ʻoku ne fakamaaʻi ʻa ʻene faʻē.
16 Ka tokomaha te hunga kino, ka nui te he: ka kite ia te hunga tika i to ratou hinganga.
ʻOka tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae kakai angahala, ʻoku tupu mo e fai kovi: ka ʻe mamata ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki heʻenau hinga.
17 Pakia tau tama, a ka whai okiokinga koe i a ia; ae ra, he ahuareka tana e homai ai ki tou wairua.
Ke ke tauteʻi ho foha, pea te ke fiemālie ʻiate ia: ʻio, te ne fakafiefiaʻi ho laumālie.
18 Ki te kahore he whakakitenga, ka kore te iwi e tupato: ko te kaipupuri ia i te ture, ka hari ia.
ʻOka ʻikai ʻi ai ha kikite ʻoku malaʻia ʻae kakai; ka ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ki he fono.
19 Ehara te kupu i te papaki mo te pononga: ahakoa hoki ia matau, e kore ia e rongo.
ʻE ʻikai poto ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻi ha lea valoki: he naʻa mo ʻene ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻikai te ne talangofua.
20 Ka kite ranei koe i te tangata kaika ki te korero? engari te wairangi ka totika ake i a ia.
ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku faʻa lea vave? ʻOku tau ʻamanaki lelei hake ki he vale ʻiate ia.
21 Ko te tangata e penapena ana i tana pononga mai o te tamarikitanga, ka waiho ia e ia i te mutunga hei tama tupu.
Ko ia ʻoku fakahikihiki ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki talu ʻene kei tamasiʻi, ʻe faifai pea hoko ia ʻamui ko hono foha.
22 He whakaoho whawhai ta te tangata pukuriri: he nui rawa hoki te he o te tangata aritarite.
ʻOku fakatupu ʻae fekeʻikeʻi ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻita, pea ʻoku lahi ʻae fai hala ʻae tangata loto fili.
23 Ka whakaititia iho te tangata e tona whakapehapeha: ka whai honore ia te tangata ngakau papaku.
Ko e fielahi ʻae tangata, ʻe fakahifo ai ia ki lalo; ka ʻe poupou hake ʻae laumālie ʻoe angavaivai ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei.
24 Ko te tangata e whakauru ana ki ta te tahae, e kino ana ki tona ake wairua: e rongo ana ia i te kanga, kahore e kiki.
Ko ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kaihaʻa ʻoku fehiʻa ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: pea ʻoku fanongo ʻe ia ki he kape, ka ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ia.
25 He rore e homai ana e te wehi ki te tangata: ko te tangata ia e whakawhirinaki ana ki a Ihowa ka mawhiti.
Ko e manavahē ki ha tangata, ʻoku hoko ia ko e tauhele: ka ʻe moʻui pe ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
26 He tokomaha e whai ana kia paingia e te rangatira: otiia i ahu mai i a Ihowa te whakawa mo te tangata.
ʻOku kumi ʻe he tokolahi ki he loto lelei ʻo ia ʻoku pule; ka ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae fakamaau ki he tangata taki taha.
27 He mea whakarihariha ki te hunga tika te tangata whakahaere he; a he mea whakarihariha hoki ki te tangata kino te tangata he tika tona ara.
Ko e tangata taʻefaitotonu ʻoku fakalielia ia ki he angatonu. Pea ko ia ʻoku fai totonu ʻi hono hala ʻoku fakalielia ia ki he angahala.
