Siope 11
1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Sofaa mei Neama, ʻo ne pehē,
Ndipo Sofari Mnaamathi akajibu:
2 “ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke tali ʻae ngaahi lea lahi ni? Pea ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻae tangata faʻa lau?
“Je, maneno haya yote yapite bila kujibiwa? Je, huyu mnenaji athibitishwe kuwa na haki?
3 ʻE fakalongoʻi ʻae kakai ʻe hoʻo ngaahi loi? Pea ʻi hoʻo manuki, ʻe ʻikai fakamā koe ʻe ha taha?
Je, maneno yako ya upuzi yawafanye watu wanyamaze kimya? Je, mtu asikukemee unapofanya dhihaka?
4 He kuo ke pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku totonu pē, pea ʻoku ou maʻa ʻi ho ʻao.’
Unamwambia Mungu, ‘Imani yangu ni kamili nami ni safi mbele zako.’
5 Kae taumaiā ke folofola mai ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne faʻai hono fofonga kiate koe;
Aha! Laiti kwamba Mungu angesema, kwamba angefungua midomo yake dhidi yako,
6 Pea ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe poto, he ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku hā mai! Ko ia ke ke ʻilo, ʻoku siʻi ʻae totongi ʻoku ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa ʻoku taau mo hoʻo angahia.
naye akufunulie siri za hekima, kwa kuwa hekima ya kweli ina pande mbili. Ujue hili: Mungu amesahau hata baadhi ya dhambi zako.
7 “He te ke ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he faʻa ʻeke? He te ke faʻa kumi ke ʻilo haohaoa ʻae Māfimafi?
“Je, waweza kujua siri za Mungu? Je, waweza kuyachunguza mambo yote kumhusu Mwenyezi?
8 ʻOku māʻolunga ia ʻo hangē ko e langi; ko e hā ʻaʻau te ke fai? ʻOku māʻulalo hifo ʻi heli; te ke faʻa ʻilo ʻae hā? (Sheol h7585)
Ni juu mno kuliko mbingu: waweza kufanya nini? Kina chake ni kirefu kuliko kuzimu: wewe waweza kujua nini? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ko hono fuofua ʻoku lōloa lahi ʻi he māmani, pea lau lahi ia ʻi he tahi.
Kipimo chake ni kirefu kuliko dunia, nacho ni kipana kuliko bahari.
10 Kapau ʻe tuʻusi ʻe ia, pe tāpuni ke maʻu, pe tānaki fakataha, ʻe taʻofi ia ʻe hai?
“Kama akija na kukufunga gerezani, na kuitisha mahakama, ni nani awezaye kumpinga?
11 He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae kakai vale: ʻoku ne vakai foki ki he fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi?
Hakika anawatambua watu wadanganyifu; naye aonapo uovu, je, haangalii?
12 He ʻoku fie poto ʻae tangata vale, neongo ʻoku fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi kai vao.
Mpumbavu aweza kuwa mwenye hekima, endapo mtoto wa punda-mwitu atazaliwa mwanadamu.
13 “Kapau te ke teu ho loto, pea mafao atu ho nima kiate ia;
“Hata sasa ukiutoa moyo wako kwake na kumwinulia mikono yako,
14 Kapau ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae angahala, siʻaki ia ke mamaʻo, pea ʻoua naʻa nofo ʻae kovi ʻi ho ngaahi fale.
ukiiondolea mbali ile dhambi iliyo mkononi mwako wala usiuruhusu uovu ukae hemani mwako,
15 He ko ia te ke toki hanga hake ai ho mata ʻo taʻehanoʻila; ʻio, te ke tuʻumaʻu, ʻo ʻikai manavahē:
ndipo utainua uso wako bila aibu; utasimama imara bila hofu.
16 He te ke fakangaloʻi hoʻo mamahi, ʻo manatuʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vai kuo tafe atu:
Hakika utaisahau taabu yako, utaikumbuka tu kama maji yaliyokwisha kupita.
17 Pea ʻe ʻāsinisini lahi hoʻo motuʻa ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻoe ʻaho; te ke ulo atu, te ke tatau mo e pongipongi.
Maisha yako yatangʼaa kuliko adhuhuri, nalo giza litakuwa kama alfajiri.
18 Pea te ke fiemālie koe, he ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei; ʻio, te ke keli, ʻo mālōlō fiemālie pe.
Utakuwa salama, kwa kuwa lipo tumaini; utatazama pande zote na kupumzika kwa salama.
19 Pea te ke tokoto foki, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi koe ʻe ha taha; ʻio, ʻe kumi meʻa meiate koe ʻe he tokolahi.
Utalala, wala hakuna atakayekuogofya, naam, wengi watajipendekeza kwako.
20 Ka ʻe vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hao, pea ko e ifi ʻoe mānava ʻa ʻenau ʻamanaki.”
Bali macho ya waovu hayataona, wokovu utawaepuka; tarajio lao litakuwa ni hangaiko la mtu anayekata roho.”
