Whakatauki 7
1 E taku tama, puritia aku kupu, huna aku whakahau ki roto ki a koe.
ʻE hoku foha, ke ke maʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea, pea ke tānaki kiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
2 Puritia aku whakahau, a ka ora; taku ture, ano ko te whatupango o tou kanohi.
Fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau pea moʻui ai! Pea tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku fono ʻo hangē ko ho kanoʻi mata.
3 Herea ki ou maihao; tuhituhia, ko tou ngakau ano hei papa.
Nonoʻo ia ki ho louhiʻi nima, tohi ia ki he kakano ʻo ho loto.
4 Ki atu ki te whakaaro nui, He tuahine koe noku; kiia hoki te matauranga ko tou whanaunga wahine:
Ke ke lea ʻo pehē ki he poto, “Ko hoku tokoua koe;” pea ke ui ʻae ʻilo ko ho kāinga fefine:
5 Kia ai enei hei tiaki i a koe kei he i te wahine ke, i te wahine ke, he korero whakapati nei ana.
Koeʻuhi ke na fakamoʻui koe mei he fefine muli, mei he muli ʻoku fakaoloolo ʻaki ʻene ngaahi lea.
6 I titiro atu hoki ahau i te matapihi o toku whare i roto i toku whakakahokaho;
He naʻaku sio atu mei he matapā ʻa hoku fale mei he matapā sioʻata.
7 A i matakitaki ahau i roto i nga kuware, i kite i roto i nga taitama, i tetahi tamaiti kahore rawa he whakaaro,
Pea naʻaku vakai ki he kakai vale, pea ne u ʻiloʻi ʻi he kau talavou ʻae tangata talavou ʻoku masiva ʻi he poto,
8 E haere ana i te ara i te wahi tata e piko atu ai ki a ia, a haere ana ia i te ara ki tona whare.
Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he hala ʻo ofi ki hono ʻapi; ʻo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ki hono fale,
9 I te kakarauritanga, i te ahiahi o te ra, i te titiwhatanga o te po, i te pouri kerekere.
ʻI he efiafi poʻuli, ʻi he pō ʻuliʻuli mo fakapoʻuli:
10 Na, kua tutaki tetahi wahine ki a ia, he kakahu puremu tona, he ngakau hianga.
Pea vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae fefine ʻoku kofu ʻi he kofu ʻoe faʻa feʻauaki, ʻo loto kākā.
11 He mangai koroki tona, he tohetohe; ko ona waewae, kahore e tau ki tona whare:
(ʻOku faʻa longoaʻa ia mo angamālohi, ʻoku ʻikai nofo hono vaʻe ʻi hono fale:
12 Inaianei kei nga ara ia, inamata kei nga waharoa, e tauwhanga ana i nga kokinga katoa.
Ko eni ʻoku ʻituʻa, ko ʻena ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi hala, ʻoku ne nofo toitoi ʻi he tuliki kotoa pē.)
13 Koia i hopukia ai ia e ia, kei te kihi i a ia, a ka mea atu ki a ia, me te whakatoi ano i tona mata,
Pea naʻa ne puke ia, pea ʻuma ki ai, pea ʻi he mata fiematamuʻa naʻa ne pehē kiate ia,
14 He patunga mo te pai kei ahau; no tenei ra nei ahau i whakamana ai i aku kupu taurangi;
“ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki fakalelei; pea kuo u fakamoʻoni ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho ni.
15 Koia ahau i haere mai ai ki te whakatau i a koe, ki te ata rapu i tou mata, a ka kitea nei koe e ahau.
Ko ia kuo u haʻu ai ke ta feʻilongaki mo koe, ke kumi ʻi he feinga ki ho mata, pea ko eni kuo u maʻu koe.
16 Ko toku moenga kua horahia e ahau, whakapaipai rawa ki te kaitaka, ki nga kakahu purepure no te rinena o Ihipa.
Kuo u teuteu hoku mohenga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi puipui matamatalelei, mo e tongi fakasanisani, mo e tupenu lelei mei ʻIsipite.
17 Kua ruia e ahau toku moenga ki nga mea whakakakara, ki te maira, ki te aroe, ki te hinamona.
Kuo u fakanamu kakala ʻa hoku mohenga ʻaki ʻae mula, mo e ʻalosi, pea mo e sinamoni.
18 Haere mai, kia whaowhina taua ki te aroha, a ao noa; kia ora o taua ngakau i te aroha.
Haʻu, ke ta fakafonu ʻakitaua ʻi he ʻofa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻapongipongi: ke ta fakafiemālie ʻakitaua ʻi heʻeta fai ʻofa.
19 Kahore hoki taku tane i te whare: kua riro ia, he haere tawhiti:
He ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ʻapi ʻae tangataʻeiki, kuo ʻalu ia ʻo fononga mamaʻo:”
20 I maua atu e ia he putea moni i tona ringa; ka hoki mai ano ia i te kowhititanga o te marama.
Kuo ne ʻave mo ia ʻae kato paʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ia kaeʻoua ke hokosia hono ʻaho kuo ne lea ki ai.
21 He maha no ana korero whakawai, riro ana ia i a ia ki tana; na te whakapati a ona ngutu ka kumea atu ia e ia.
Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi lea matamatalelei, ʻo ne maʻu ia ʻi he fakaoloolo ʻa hono ngutu.
22 Haere tonu ia i muri i a ia, ano he kau e haere ana kia patua, he kuware ranei e haere ana ki nga rakau here waewae e whiua ai te he;
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu muimui leva ʻiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e pulu ke tāmateʻi, pea hangē ko e vale ki he tautea ʻoe ʻakau fakamaau vaʻe;
23 A tu noa te tao ki tona ate puta rawa; rite tonu ia ki te manu e hohoro ana ki te mahanga, te mohio he matenga tera mona.
Kaeʻoua ke ʻasi ʻae ngahau ki hono ʻate; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e manu ʻoku ʻoho vave ki he tauhele, ʻo ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ke ʻosi ai ʻene moʻui.
24 No reira, e aku tamariki, whakarongo ki ahau, maharatia nga kupu a toku mangai.
ʻE fānau, ke mou fanongo eni kiate au, pea mou tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.
25 Kei peau ke tou ngakau ki ona ara, kei kotiti ke ki ona huarahi.
ʻOua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu atu ho loto ki hono hala, ʻoua naʻa mou hē ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
26 He tokomaha hoki nga tangata i tu, i hinga i a ia, ae ra, he ope nui rawa tana i patu ai.
He kuo lī hifo ʻe ia ʻae toko lahi kuo lavea; ʻio, kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae kau tangata mālohi toko lahi.
