Izaga 13
1 Indodana ehlakaniphileyo iyemukela izeluleko zikayise, kodwa ihlongandlebe kalilaleli nxa likhuzwa.
ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe he foha ʻoku poto ʻae akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻae valoki ʻe he faʻa manuki.
2 Umuntu uzuza okuhle ngamazwi omlomo wakhe, kodwa ababi batshisekela udlakela.
ʻE kai ʻe he tangata ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakamālohi ki he laumālie ʻoe kakai fai kovi.
3 Lowo olinda izindebe zakhe ulinda impilo yakhe, kodwa lowo osuka abhede nje uyazibulala.
Ko ia ʻoku vakai ki hono ngutu, ʻoku tauhi ʻe ia ʻene moʻui: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate ia ʻoku fakamanga lahi hono loungutu.
4 Ivila liyafisa kodwa lingazuzi lutho, kodwa izifiso zokhutheleyo ziyagcwaliseka.
ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakapikopiko, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻe fafangaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoe faʻa ngāue.
5 Abalungileyo bayakuzonda okungamanga, kodwa izigangi ziletha ihlazo lesigcono.
ʻOku fehiʻa ki he loi ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e tangata angahala ko e fakalielia ia, pea ʻoku hoko ia ʻo mā.
6 Ukulunga kuyamlinda umuntu oqotho, kodwa ububi buyamchitha oyisoni.
ʻOku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hono hala ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku angatonu; ka ʻoku tulaki hifo ʻe he kovi ʻaia ʻoku angahala.
7 Umuntu angazenza onothileyo, yena engelalutho, omunye azitshaye umyanga, kanti elenotho enengi.
ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ia, ka ʻoku ne masiva pe: pea ʻoku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamasivaʻi ia, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa lahi.
8 Inotho yomuntu ingahlenga impilo yakhe, kodwa umyanga uvele kasongelwa muntu.
Ko e koloa ʻae tangata ko e huhuʻi ia ʻo ʻene moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ki he valoki ʻae masiva.
9 Isibane sabalungileyo sikhanya sithi kla! Kodwa isibane sezigangi siyafiphala ngentuthu.
ʻOku fiefia ʻae maama ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala.
10 Ukuziqakisa kukhokhelela engxabanweni, kodwa ukuhlakanipha kufunyanwa kwabemukela ukwelulekwa.
ʻOku tupu pe ʻi he fielahi ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku maʻu ʻae poto ʻekinautolu kuo akonakiʻi lelei.
11 Imali ezuzwe ngobuqili iyanyamalala, kodwa lowo oyizuza ngokuqogelela uyayandisa.
Ko e koloa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vikiviki ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke ʻosi: ka ʻe fakalahi ia kiate ia ʻoku tānaki ʻi he faʻa ngāue.
12 Ithemba eliphuzayo ligulisa inhliziyo, kodwa isifiso esigcwalisiweyo siyisihlahla sokuphila.
ʻOku pongia ʻae loto ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻoku tuai ʻene hoko: pea ka hoko mai ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
13 Lowo oweyisa izeluleko uzibizela ingozi, kodwa othobela umlayo uzaphiwa umvuzo.
ʻE fakaʻauha ia ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he folofola: ka ʻe fiemālie pe ia ʻaia ʻoku manavahē ki he fekau.
14 Imfundiso yabahlakaniphileyo ingumthombo wokuphila, iphephisa umuntu emijibileni yokufa.
Ko e fono ʻae poto ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui, ke tau hao ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
15 Ukuzwisisa okuhle kuletha ukuthandeka, kodwa indlela yabakhohlisayo inzima.
ʻOku tupu mei he fakakaukau lelei ʻae ʻofa: ka ʻoku faingataʻa ʻae hala ʻoe kakai angahala.
16 Wonke umuntu ohlakaniphileyo wenza konke ngolwazi, kodwa isiwula sitshengisa ubuthutha baso.
ʻOku faʻa kau ki he ʻilo ʻae tangata fakapotopoto: ka ʻoku fakahā pe ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
17 Isithunywa esibi siwela phakathi kohlupho, kodwa isithunywa esithembekileyo siletha ukusila.
ʻOku tō ki he kovi ʻae talafekau angakovi: ka ko e fakamoʻui ʻae talafekau ʻoku angatonu.
18 Ongananzi ukuqondiswa wehlelwa yibuyanga lehlazo, kodwa onanza ukukhuzwa uyadunyiswa.
ʻE hoko ʻae masiva mo e mā kiate ia ʻoku ne tekeʻi ʻae akonaki: ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
19 Simnandi emphefumulweni isifiso singagcwaliseka, kodwa iziwula kazifuni ukutshiya ububi.
ʻOku huʻamelie ki he laumālie ʻae hoko mai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tau holi ki ai: ka ko e meʻa fakalielia ki he vale ʻae tafoki mei he kovi.
20 Ohamba lezihlakaniphi uyahlakanipha, kodwa othandana leziwula uwela engozini.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻeva fakataha mo e kakai poto ʻe poto ai ia: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai vale.
21 Umnyama ulandelana loyisoni, kodwa impumelelo ingumvuzo wabalungileyo.
ʻOku tulia ʻae kau angahala ʻe he kovi: ka ʻe toe totongi ʻaki ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.
22 Umuntu olungileyo utshiyela izizukulwane sakhe ilifa, kodwa inotho yesoni ibekelwa abalungileyo.
ʻOku tuku ʻae tofiʻa ʻe he tangata angalelei ki he fānau ʻa ʻene fānau: ka ko e koloa ʻae angahala kuo tānaki maʻa e kakai angatonu.
23 Insimu yomyanga ingathela ukudla okunengi, kodwa umona wabalamandla uyayikhukhula.
ʻOku ai ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻi he faʻa keli ʻae masiva: ka ʻoku ai ʻoku maumauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva poto.
24 Lowo ongasebenzisi uswazi uyayizonda indodana yakhe, kodwa lowo oyithandayo unqinekela ukuyiqondisa.
Ko ia ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻene meʻa kinikinisi ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono foha: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻoku ne tautea ia ʻoka ʻaonga ke fai.
25 Olungileyo uyadla asuthe ntintinini, kodwa isisu somubi sihlala silambile.
ʻOku kai ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ke fakamākona hono laumālie: ka ʻe fiekaia ʻae kete ʻoe angahala.
