Izaga 12
1 Othanda ukuqondiswa uthanda ulwazi, kodwa ozonda ukukhuzwa uyisithutha.
Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he ako ʻoku manako ki he poto: ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he valoki ʻoku anga fakamanu ia.
2 Umuntu olungileyo uthola umusa kuThixo, kodwa uThixo uyamlahla owakha amacebo amabi.
ʻOku finangalo lelei ʻa Sihova ki he tangata angalelei: ka ʻe fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae tangata ʻoku filioʻi kovi.
3 Umuntu angazake amiswe yibubi, kodwa olungileyo angeke aquphuke.
ʻE ʻikai fokotuʻumaʻu ha tangata ʻe he angahala: ka ʻe ʻikai ngaue ʻae aka ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
4 Umfazi olesimilo ungumqhele womkakhe, kodwa umfazi oyangisayo unjengokubola kwamathambo akhe.
Ko e fefine angalelei ko e tatā ia ki hono husepāniti: ka ko ia ʻoku fakamā ʻoku hangē ia ko e popo ki hono ngaahi hui.
5 Izimiso zabalungileyo ziqondile, kodwa izeluleko zababi ziyinkohliso.
ʻOku totonu ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻae angahala ko e kākā ia.
6 Amazwi ababi alindele ukuchitha igazi, kodwa inkulumo yabalungileyo iyabakhulula.
ʻOku alea ʻae angahala ke tatali toitoi ke lilingi toto: ka ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angatonu.
7 Abantu ababi bayachithwa bangabe besaba khona, kodwa indlu yolungileyo imi izinzile.
ʻOku tulaki hifo ʻae angahala, pea ʻikai ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
8 Umuntu udunyiswa ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, kodwa abantu abalengqondo ezimbi bayeyiswa.
ʻE fakamālōʻia, ʻae tangata ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene poto: ka ʻe manukiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku loto talangataʻa.
9 Kungcono ukungabi ngubani kodwa ulesisebenzi, kulokuzitshaya ulutho kodwa uswela lokudla.
Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻanekina, ka ʻoku tauhi ia ʻe ia pe, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia ʻiate ia ʻoku fakaongoongolelei ia, ʻe ia pe, kae masiva meʻakai.
10 Umuntu olungileyo uyayinanzelela imfuyo yakhe kodwa okuhle komuntu omubi yilunya.
ʻOku tokangaʻi ʻe he tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻae moʻui ʻa ʻene manu: ka ko e manavaʻofa ʻae angahala ko e fakamālohi pe ia.
11 Lowo osebenza nzima emasimini akhe uzathola ukudla okunengi, kodwa lowo ophika ngezifiso eziyize akalangqondo.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa keli hono potu kelekele ʻe mākona ia ʻi he meʻakai: ka ko ia ʻoku muimui ki he kakai vale ʻoku masiva ia ʻi he ʻilo.
12 Ababi bahawukela impango yezigangi, kodwa impande yabalungileyo imi iqinile.
ʻOku manako ʻae angahala ki he kolo ʻae kakai angakovi: ka ʻoku tupu ʻae fua mei he aka ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
13 Umuntu omubi uthiyeka ngenkulumo yakhe yesono, kodwa umuntu olungileyo uyaphepha enkathazweni.
ʻOku tauheleʻi ʻae angahala ʻe he talangataʻa ʻa hono loungutu: ka ʻe hao mai ʻae angatonu mei he kovi.
14 Umuntu uzuza okuhle ngamazwi omlomo wakhe, umsebenzi wezandla zakhe umnika inzuzo.
ʻE fakamākona ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu: pea ʻe ʻomi ki he tangata ʻae tupu ʻoe ngāue ʻa hono nima.
15 Indlela yesiwula ikhanya iqondile kuso, kodwa umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uyalalela izeluleko.
ʻOku totonu ʻae hala ʻoe vale ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona: ka ko ia ʻoku ongoʻi ʻae akonaki ʻoku poto ia.
16 Isiwula siyaphangisa ukuthukuthela, kodwa umuntu olengqondo kananzi loba ethukwa.
ʻOku ʻilo leva ʻae ʻita ʻoe vale: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he tangata fakamākukanga ʻae fakamā.
17 Umfakazi oleqiniso upha ubufakazi obuqondileyo, kodwa umfakazi ongathembekanga ukhuluma amanga.
Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻoku fakahā ʻe ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻae kākā ʻe he fakamoʻoni loi.
18 Amazwi okubhuda agwaza njengenkemba, kodwa ulimi lohlakaniphileyo luyelapha.
ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoka lea ʻoku hangē ko e tui ʻaki ha heletā: ka ko e meʻa fakamoʻui ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe poto.
19 Izindebe zeqiniso zimi lanini, kodwa ulimi olulamanga luma umzuzwana nje.
ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻae loungutu ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni: ka ʻoku ʻosi ʻi he kemo pe taha ʻae ʻelelo ʻoku loi.
20 Inhliziyo zabaceba ububi zigcwele inkohliso, kodwa kulokuthokoza kwabaletha ukuthula.
ʻOku ai ʻae kākā ʻi he loto ʻonautolu ʻoku filioʻi kovi: ka ʻoku ai ʻae fiefia kiate kinautolu ʻoku alea ki he melino.
21 Akukho ngozi ewela abalungileyo, kodwa izigangi zikhulelwa zinhlupho.
ʻOku ʻikai ha kovi ʻe hoko ki he angatonu: ka ʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻae angahala.
22 UThixo uyazenyanya izindlela ezilamanga, kodwa uyathokoza ngabantu abaleqiniso.
Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae loungutu faʻa loi: ka ʻoku fiefia ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fai fakamoʻomoʻoni.
23 Umuntu olengqondo kazitshengiseli ulwazi lwakhe, kodwa iziwula ziyabutshengisela ubuthutha bazo.
ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he tangata fakamākukanga ʻa ʻene ʻilo: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻe he loto ʻoe vale ʻae vale.
24 Izandla ezikhutheleyo zizaletha inhlalakahle, kodwa ubuvila budonsela ekugqilazweni.
ʻE maʻu ʻae pule ʻe he nima ʻoe faʻa ngāue: ka ʻe moʻulaloa ki he tukuhau ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko.
25 Inhliziyo ekhathazekileyo iyamcakisa umuntu, kodwa ilizwi elilomusa liyamthokozisa.
Ko e māfasia ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata ʻoku mapelu ai ia: ka ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi ia ʻe he lea lelei.
26 Umuntu olungileyo ukhetha abangane ngonanzelelo, kodwa indlela yababi iyabaphumputhekisa.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono kaungāʻapi: ka ʻoku kākāʻia ʻae angahala ʻe honau hala.
27 Umzingeli olivila kazuzi nyama yokosa, kodwa umuntu okhutheleyo uyazibula ngenotho yakhe.
ʻOku ʻikai ke taʻo ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko ʻae meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi heʻene tuli: ka ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻae koloa ʻoe tangata faʻa ngāue.
28 Endleleni yokulunga kulokuphila, kuleyondlela kulokuphila okungapheliyo.
ʻOku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻoku ʻikai ai ha mate.
