< Whakatauki 6 >

1 E taku tama, ki te mea ko tau hei whakakapi mo ta tou hoa, ki te mea kua papaki tou ringa mo te tangata ke,
‌ʻE hoku foha, kapau kuo ke hoko ko e fetongi ki ho kāinga, kapau kuo ke fekuku nima mo ha muli,
2 Kua oti koe te mahanga e nga kupu a tou mangai, kua mau koe i nga kupu a tou mangai.
Tā kuo tauheleʻi koe ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea mei ho ngutu, kuo ke fihia koe ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa ho ngutu.
3 Meinga tenei inaianei, e taku tama, kia ora ai koe, he mea hoki kua taka koe ki roto ki te ringa o tou hoa; haere whakaiti i a koe, a ka tohe ki tou hoa.
‌ʻE hoku foha, ke ke fai eni, koeʻuhi ke ke hao ʻoka ke ka tō ki he nima ʻo ho kāinga: ʻalu koe, ʻo fakavaivai koe, koeʻuhi ke ke lavaʻi ai ho kāinga.
4 Kei tukua iho te moe ki ou kanohi; kei tunewha ou kamo.
‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ke mohe ho mata, pe tuku ke tulemohe ho laumata.
5 Whakaora i a koe ano he anaterope i roto i te ringa o te kaiwhai, ano he manu i roto i te ringa o te kaihopu.
Fakamoʻui koe ʻo hangē ko e kāseli mei he nima ʻoe tangata tuli manu, pea hangē ko e manupuna mei he nima ʻoe tangata tauhele.
6 Haere ki te popokorua, e te tangata mangere, matakitakina iho ona ara, kia nui ai ou whakaaro:
‌ʻA koe ko e fakapikopiko, ʻalu ki he lō; tokanga ki heʻene anga, pea ke poto ai;
7 Kahore nei ona kaitohutohu, ona kaitirotiro, ona rangatira,
‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai hano fakahinohino, pe enginaki, pe ha pule,
8 Heoi e mahi kai ana mana i te raumati, e kohikohi ana i te kai mana i te kotinga witi.
Ka ʻoku ne tokonaki ʻene meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, ʻo ne tānaki ʻene meʻakai ʻi he ututaʻu.
9 Kia pehea ake te roa o tau takoto, e te tangata mangere? A hea koe maranga ai i tau moe?
‌ʻA koe ko e fakapikopiko, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻo mohe? Te ke toki tuʻu hake ʻafē mei hoʻo mohe?
10 Kia iti ake nei te wahi e parangia ai, kia iti ake nei te moe, kia iti ake te kotuinga o nga ringa i a koe e takoto na:
“ʻE toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:”
11 Na ka rite ki te kaipahua te putanga mai o te muhore ki a koe, tou rawakore, ano he tangata he patu nei tana.
Pea pehē, ʻe haʻu ai hoʻo masiva ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku fononga mai, pea mo hoʻo paea ʻo hangē ha tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafu.
12 Ko te tangata kahore ona painga, ko te tangata hara, e haereere ana me te mangai tu ke;
‌ʻOku ʻalu mo e ngutu kovi, ʻae tangata ʻoku angakovi, mo e tangata angahala.
13 E whakakini ana ona kanohi, e korero ana ona waewae, e tuhi ana ona maihao;
‌ʻOku kakamo ʻe ia ʻaki hono mata, ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ia hono vaʻe, ʻoku ako ʻaki ʻe ia hono louhiʻi nima;
14 Kei roto te whanoke i tona ngakau, e whakatakoto ana ia i te kino i nga wa katoa; e rui ana ia i te ngangare.
‌ʻOku ʻi hono loto ʻae kovi, ʻoku ne fakatupu maʻuaipē ʻae kovi; ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻe ia ʻae maveuveu.
15 Mo reira ka huaki tata te aitua ki a ia; e kore e aha ka whatiia ia, te taea te rongoa.
Ko ia ʻe hoko fakafokifā ai ʻa ʻene malaʻia; ʻe maumau fakafokifā ia taʻehanofakamoʻui.
16 E ono nga mea e kino ana ki a Ihowa; ae ra, e whitu nga mea e whakariharihangia ana e ia:
‌ʻOku fehiʻa ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa ni ʻe ono: ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fitu ʻoku fakalielia ʻi hono ʻao:
17 Ko te kanohi whakakake, ko te arero teka, ko nga ringa whakaheke i te toto harakore;
Ko e mata fielahi, ko e ʻelelo ʻoku loi, mo e nima ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia,
18 He ngakau e whakatakoto ana i nga whakaaro kikino, he waewae e hohoro ana te rere ki te hianga;
Ko e loto ʻoku fakatupu ʻae ngaahi mahalo kovi, mo e vaʻe ʻoku veʻe vave ki he fai kovi,
19 He kaiwhakaatu teka e korero teka ana, ko te tangata hoki e rui ana i te ngangare ki waenganui i nga tuakana, i nga teina.
Ko e fakamoʻoni loi ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi, mo ia ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻi he kāinga.
20 E taku tama, puritia te whakahau a tou papa, kaua hoki e whakarerea te ture a tou whaea:
‌ʻE hoku foha, ke ke tauhi ʻae fekau ʻa hoʻo tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa hoʻo faʻē:
21 Kia mau tonu te takai ki tou ngakau, heia ki tou kaki.
Nonoʻo maʻuaipē ia ki ho loto, pea kahoa ʻaki ia ʻi ho kia.
22 Ko tou kaiarahi ano tera ina haere koe; mana koe e tiaki ina takoto koe; ka korero mai ano ki a koe; ina ara koe.
‌ʻOka ke ka ʻalu, te ne tataki koe; ʻoka ke ka mohe, te ne tauhi koe; pea ʻoka ke ka ʻā, te mo alea mo ia.
23 He rama hoki te whakahau; a he marama te ture; ko nga riringa hoki, e whakaako ana, he ara ki te ora;
He ko e fekau ko e tuʻunga maama ia: pea ko e fono ko e maama ia; pea ko e valoki fakapoto ko e hala ia ʻoe moʻui:
24 Hei tiaki i a koe kei he i te wahine kino, i te whakapati a te arero o te wahine ke.
Ke fakahaofi koe mei he fefine angahala, mei he lea fakaoloolo ʻae fefine muli.
25 Kei hiahia koe ki tona ataahua i roto i tou ngakau; kei mau ano koe i ona kamo.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke holi ʻi ho loto ki hono fakaʻofoʻofa; pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ne kākaaʻi koe ʻaki hono laumata.
26 Ko te tukunga iho o te tangata he wahi taro, he mea mo te wahine kairau; ko ta te wahine purema e whai ana ko te wairua utu nui.
He ko e meʻa ʻi he fefine feʻauaki ʻoku fakamasivaʻi ʻae tangata ke toe siʻi ʻene konga mā: pea ʻe tuli ʻe he tonotangata ʻae moʻui mahuʻinga.
27 E taea ranei e te tangata te tango i te ahi ki roto ki tona uma, a e kore ona kakahu e wera?
‌ʻE faʻa ʻai ʻe ha tangata ʻae afi ki hono fatafata, pea ʻikai vela hono ngaahi kofu?
28 E taea ranei e tetahi te haere i runga i nga waro ratarata, a e kore ona waewae e hunua?
‌ʻE ʻeveʻeva ha taha ʻi he funga maka vela, ka ʻe ʻikai vela hono vaʻe?
29 Ka pera ano te tangata e haere ana ki te wahine a tona hoa; e kore e kore ka whiua te tangata e pa ana ki a ia.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu atu ki he uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi; ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ia ʻoku ala ki ai.
30 E kore e whakahaweatia e te tangata te tahae, ki te tahaetia e ia he mea e makona ai tona wairua i a hiakai ia.
‌ʻOku ʻikai fehiʻa ʻae kakai ki ha kaihaʻa, ʻo kapau kuo ne kaihaʻa ke fakafiemālie hono loto ʻi heʻene feinga fiekaia;
31 Otiia ki te kitea ia, kia takiwhitu ana e whakautu ai; me homai e ia nga rawa katoa o tona whare.
Kā, ʻoka ʻilo ia, ʻe totongi ʻe ia ke liunga fitu; ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻo hono fale.
32 Ko te tangata e puremu ana ki te wahine, kahore ona mohio: ko te tangata e pera ana, kei te whakangaro ia i tona wairua.
Ka ko ia ʻoku tonofefine, ʻoku masiva poto: ko ia ʻoku ne fai ia ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻe ia hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
33 He kaiakiko, he whakama te wahi mona; e kore ano tona ingoa kino e horoia atu.
‌ʻE lavea ai ia mo ongoongo kovi: pea ʻe ʻikai holoholoʻi ʻa hono manukia.
34 He riri nui hoki na te tangata te hae; e kore ano e tohungia e ia i te ra rapu utu.
He ko e fuaʻa ko e fakalili ia ʻoe tangata: ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ne toe mamae ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe totongi.
35 E kore ia e manako ki tetahi utu; e kore hoki e tatu tona ngakau, ahakoa he nui au hakari e tapae ai.
‌ʻE ʻikai tokangaʻi ʻe ia ha tukungoue; pea ʻe ʻikai fiemālie ia ʻi hoʻo foaki lahi.
