Siope 24
1 “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai lilo ʻae ngaahi kuonga mei he Māfimafi, ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai mamata ai ki hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻekinautolu ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ia?
Nahoana no tsy misy fotoan’ andro voatendrin’ ny Tsitoha, ary nahoana no tsy hitan’ ny mahalala Azy izany androny Izany?
2 ʻOku hiki ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ngaahi fakangatangata ʻoe fonua; ʻoku nau ʻave fakamālohi ʻae ngaahi fanga manu, ʻonau fafanga ʻaki ʻakinautolu.
Misy mamindra fari-tany sy mangalatra omby aman’ ondry sady miandry azy.
3 ʻOku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ʻasi ʻae tamai mate, ʻoku nau maʻu ko e totongi ʻae pulu tangata ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
Mandroaka ny borikin’ ny kamboty izy, ary maka ny ombin’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
4 ʻOku nau fakaafeʻi ʻae masiva mei he hala: ʻoku toitoi fakataha ʻae kakai masiva ʻoe fonua.
Manosika ny mahantra hiala amin’ ny lalana izy, ka dia miery azy avokoa ny malahelo amin’ ny tany.
5 Vakai, ʻoku nau ʻalu atu ki heʻenau ngāue ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻasi kaivao ʻoe toafa; ʻo tuʻu hengihengi ki he kaihaʻa: ʻoku maʻu ʻae meʻakai maʻanautolu mo ʻenau fānau mei he toafa.
Indro, tahaka ny fivoaky ny boriki-dia any an-efitra no fivoak’ ireny ho amin’ ny asany hiremby; Ny tani-hay no ahazoany hanina ho an’ ny zanany.
6 ʻOku nau taki taha tuʻusi ʻene koane ʻi he ngoue: pea utu ʻe he angahala ʻae fua ʻoe vaine.
Any an-tsaha izy maka vilona sy mitsimpontsimpona ny voaloboky ny ratsy fanahy.
7 ʻOku nau fai ke mohe taʻekafu ʻae telefua, pea ʻikai ha kafu ʻi he momoko.
Mandry mitanjaka amin’ ny alina izy, satria tsy manan-damba, ka dia tsy manana firakotra amin’ ny hatsiaka;
8 ʻOku nau viviku ʻi he ngaahi ʻuha mei he moʻunga, mo nau fāufuaʻi ʻae maka ko e taʻehamaluʻanga.
Kotsan’ ny ranonoram-baratra any an-tendrombohitra izy, ka mitampisaka amin’ ny vatolampy, fa tsy manam-pialofana.
9 ʻOku hamusi ʻe he niʻihi ʻae tamai mate mei he huhu, pea maʻu ʻae kofu ʻoe masiva ko e totongi.
Misarika ny kamboty eo am-pinonoana izy ary maka tsatòka amin’ ny ory.
10 ʻOku nau fai ke ʻalu telefua ia ʻo taʻehakofu, ʻonau ʻave ʻae ū uite mei he fiekaia;
Mandeha mitsaitsaika ireo, fa mitanjaka tsy manan-kitafy, ary noana eo am-pitondrana ny amboaram-bary.
11 ʻOku nau fai lolo ʻi honau ngaahi loto ʻā, ʻo molomoloki ʻae ngaahi tataʻoʻanga uaine, mo nau fieinu.
Manao diloilo eo anatin’ ny tambohon’ ny mpampahory azy izy; Ary manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka izy, nefa mangetaheta ihany.
12 ʻOku toʻe ʻae kakai mei he loto kolo, pea tangi kalanga ʻae laumālie ʻoe mamahiʻia: kae ʻikai ke tokangaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua.
Mitrona ny lehilahy ao an-tanana, ary mitaraina ny fanahin’ ny voalefona; Nefa tsy ahoan’ Andriamanitra akory ny ratsy atao.
13 “Ko kinautolu ni ʻoku nau angatuʻu ki he maama; ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ʻilo hono ngaahi hala ʻoʻona, pe nofomaʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
Ireny no mpikomy amin’ ny mazava; Tsy mba mihevitra ny lalany izy, na mitoetra eo amin’ ny alehany.
14 ʻOku tuʻu fakataha ʻae fakapō mo e maama ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae masiva mo e vaivai, pea tatau ia ʻi he poʻuli mo ha kaihaʻa.
Raha vao mangiran-dratsy, dia mifoha ny mpamono olona; Mamono ny ory sy ny malahelo izy, ary nony alina, dia tahaka ny mpangalatra.
15 ʻOku tatali ʻae mata ʻoe tono fefine ki he efiafi poʻuli, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai sio ha mata kiate au,’ pea ne fakapuli hono mata.
Ny mason’ ny mpijangajanga miandry ny maizimaizina, ka hoy izy: Tsy misy hahalala ahy ka dia manao very maso izy.
16 ʻOka poʻuli ʻoku nau keli ki he ngaahi fale, ʻaia naʻa nau fakaʻilongaʻi moʻonautolu ʻi he kei ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ʻae maama.
Misy manamy trano nony maizina; Nefa nony antoandro dia miery izy; Tsy mahalala ny mazava izy;
17 He ʻoku tatau kiate kinautolu ʻae pongipongi mo e malumalu ʻoe mate: pea ka ʻiloa, ʻoku nau ʻi he lilika ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate.
Fa ny aizim-pito no marainan’ ireo rehetra ireo; Satria efa mahazatra azy ny fampahatahoran’ ny aizim-pito izy.
18 “ʻOku ʻalu vave ia ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe; kuo fakamalaʻia honau tofiʻa ʻi he fonua: ʻoku ʻikai mamata ia ki he hala ʻoe ngaahi ngoue vaine.
Mitsinkafona paohin’ ny rano izy; Voaozona ny anjarany eo amin’ ny tany; Tsy mivily ho amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izy.
19 Ko e laʻā mo e pupuha ʻoku faʻao ai ʻae ngaahi vai ʻuha hinehina: ʻoku pehē ʻae faʻitoka kiate kinautolu kuo fai angahala. (Sheol h7585)
Toy ny andevonan’ ny maina sy ny mafana ny ranom-panala no andevonan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny mpanota. (Sheol h7585)
20 ʻE fakangaloʻi ia ʻe he manāva; ʻe kai melie ia ʻe he kelemutu; ʻe ʻikai toe manatuʻi ia; pea ʻe fesiʻi ʻae angahala ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau.
Manadino azy ny vohoka; manjary hanim-py ho an’ ny olitra izy ka tsy tsarovana intsony; Ary tapaka tahaka ny hazo ny ratsy fanahy,
21 ʻOku ne fai kovi ki he paʻa naʻe ʻikai fānau: pea ʻoku ʻikai fai lelei ki he fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
Dia ilay nandroba ny momba izay tsy niteraka ary tsy nanisy soa ny mpitondratena.
22 ʻOku ne toho ʻaki ʻe hono mālohi ʻae kakai mālohi: ʻoku ne tuʻuhake, pea ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha pe te ne moʻui.
Kanefa halavain’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny heriny ny andron’ ny olo-mahery; Mitsangana indray ireo, na dia tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony aza.
23 Neongo ʻene foaki kiate ia ʻae nofo fiemālie, ʻaia ʻoku ne falala ki ai; ka ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi honau ngaahi hala.
Ataony mandry fahizay sy tsara tohana izy, sady tsinjoviny mandrakariva ny lalany.
24 ʻOku hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo fuoloa siʻi pe, ka ʻe mole leva, pea fakahifo ki lalo; ʻoku toʻo atu ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai fulipē, pea tutuʻu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fua ʻoe uite.
Nasandratra izy, kanjo vetivety dia tsy ao intsony, dia mihalevona izy ka otazana tahaka ny olona rehetra, ary tangosana tahaka ny salohim-bary.
25 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai pehē, ko hai te ne fakaʻilo ʻeku loi, mo fakataʻeʻaonga ʻeku lea?”
Raha tsy izany, dia aoka hisy hamaky lainga ahy ka hampiseho ny teniko ho tsinontsinona.
