< Lea Fakatātā 1 >

1 Ko e ngaahi lea fakatātā ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli;
以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言:
2 Ke ʻilo ai ʻae poto mo e akonaki; pea ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe faʻa ʻilo;
要使人曉得智慧和訓誨, 分辨通達的言語,
3 Ke maʻu ʻae akonaki ʻoe poto, mo e angatonu, mo e fakamaau, pea mo e fai totonu;
使人處事領受智慧、 仁義、公平、正直的訓誨,
4 Ke foaki ʻae ʻiloʻilo ki he taʻepoto, pea ki he tangata talavou ʻae ʻilo mo e faʻa fakakaukau.
使愚人靈明, 使少年人有知識和謀略,
5 ‌ʻE fie fanongo ʻe he tangata poto, pea ʻe tupulekina ai a ʻene poto; pea ʻe maʻu ai ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fakakaukau lelei:
使智慧人聽見,增長學問, 使聰明人得着智謀,
6 Ke ʻiloʻi ʻae lea fakatātā, pea mo hono fakamatala; ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae poto, mo ʻenau ngaahi tala ʻilongataʻa.
使人明白箴言和譬喻, 懂得智慧人的言詞和謎語。
7 Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe ʻilo: ka ʻoku fehiʻa ʻae vale ki he poto mo e akonaki.
敬畏耶和華是知識的開端; 愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。
8 ‌ʻE hoku foha, fanongo ki he akonaki ʻa hoʻo tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae fekau ʻa hoʻo faʻē:
我兒,要聽你父親的訓誨, 不可離棄你母親的法則;
9 Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ia ko e teunga lelei ki ho ʻulu, mo e kahoa ke tautau ki ho kia.
因為這要作你頭上的華冠, 你項上的金鍊。
10 ‌ʻE hoku foha, kapau ʻe fakatauveleʻi koe ʻe he kau angahala, ʻoua naʻa ke loto ki ai.
我兒,惡人若引誘你, 你不可隨從。
11 Kapau te nau pehē, “Haʻu ke tau ō, ke tau tatali ʻo toitoi ke lilingi ʻae toto, ke tau lama fakafufū taʻehanoʻuhinga ki he taʻehalaia:
他們若說:你與我們同去, 我們要埋伏流人之血, 要蹲伏害無罪之人;
12 Ke tau folo moʻui hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e faʻitoka; pea kātoa pe, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: (Sheol h7585)
我們好像陰間,把他們活活吞下; 他們如同下坑的人, 被我們囫圇吞了; (Sheol h7585)
13 Te tau ʻilo ai ʻae koloa kehekehe kotoa pē, te tau fakafonu hotau ngaahi fale ʻaki ʻae koloa:
我們必得各樣寶物, 將所擄來的,裝滿房屋;
14 Ke tau ʻinasi fakataha pe mo koe; pea te tau kau taha pe ʻi he kato paʻanga:”
你與我們大家同分, 我們共用一個囊袋;
15 ‌ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ʻi he hala mo kinautolu; taʻofi ho vaʻe mei honau hala:
我兒,不要與他們同行一道, 禁止你腳走他們的路。
16 He ʻoku lele honau vaʻe ki he kovi, ʻonau fakatoʻotoʻo ke lilingi ʻae toto.
因為,他們的腳奔跑行惡; 他們急速流人的血,
17 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tautau taʻeʻaonga ʻae kupenga ʻi he ʻao ʻo ha manupuna.
好像飛鳥, 網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。
18 Pea ʻoku nau toitoi ki honau toto ʻonautolu pe; mo nau lama fakafufū ki heʻenau moʻui ʻanautolu pe.
這些人埋伏,是為自流己血; 蹲伏,是為自害己命。
19 He ʻoku pehē pe ʻae hala ʻokinautolu ʻoku manumanu ki he koloa; ʻaia ʻoku ne fakaʻosi ʻae moʻui ʻanautolu ʻoku nau maʻu ia.
凡貪戀財利的,所行之路都是如此; 這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。
20 ‌ʻOku kalanga ʻituʻa ʻae poto; ʻoku ne hiki hake hono leʻo ʻi he ngaahi hala.
智慧在街市上呼喊, 在寬闊處發聲,
21 ‌ʻOku kalanga ia ʻi he potu lahi ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, mo e ava ʻoe ngaahi matapā: pea ʻi he loto kolo ʻoku ne ʻai mai ʻene lea, ʻo pehē,
在熱鬧街頭喊叫, 在城門口,在城中發出言語,
22 “ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kau vale, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻomou manako ki he vale? Pea fiefia ʻae kau manuki ʻi heʻenau manuki, mo e fehiʻa ʻae kau vale ki he poto?
說:你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧, 褻慢人喜歡褻慢, 愚頑人恨惡知識,要到幾時呢?
23 Mou tafoki ʻi heʻeku valoki: vakai, te u huaʻi hoku laumālie kiate kimoutolu, te u fakahā ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kimoutolu.
你們當因我的責備回轉; 我要將我的靈澆灌你們, 將我的話指示你們。
24 Koeʻuhi kuo u ui, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tali; kuo u mafao atu hoku nima, kae ʻikai tokangaʻi ʻe ha taha;
我呼喚,你們不肯聽從; 我伸手,無人理會;
25 Pea kuo mou liʻaki ʻeku akonaki, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki heʻeku valoki:
反輕棄我一切的勸戒, 不肯受我的責備。
26 Ko ia te u kata foki au ʻi hoʻomou malaʻia; te u manuki ʻi he tō mai ʻa hoʻomou manavahē;
你們遭災難,我就發笑; 驚恐臨到你們,我必嗤笑。
27 ‌ʻIo, ʻoka hoko mai hoʻomou manavahē ʻo hangē ko e fakaʻauha, mo hoʻomou malaʻia ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio; ʻoka hoko mai ʻae mamahi mo e feinga kiate kimoutolu.
驚恐臨到你們,好像狂風; 災難來到,如同暴風; 急難痛苦臨到你們身上。
28 Pea te nau toki ui kiate au, ka ʻe ʻikai te u tali; te nau kumi toʻotoʻo kiate au, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo au:
那時,你們必呼求我,我卻不答應, 懇切地尋找我,卻尋不見。
29 Koeʻuhi naʻa nau fehiʻa ki he ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke manavahē kia Sihova:
因為,你們恨惡知識, 不喜愛敬畏耶和華,
30 Naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻeku ngaahi akonaki, pea naʻa nau manukiʻi ʻa ʻeku valoki kotoa pē.
不聽我的勸戒, 藐視我一切的責備,
31 Ko ia te nau kai ai ʻi he fua ʻo ʻenau faianga, pea fakamākona ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi pe ʻanautolu.
所以必吃自結的果子, 充滿自設的計謀。
32 He ko e tafoki atu ʻoe taʻepoto te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae vale ʻi heʻenau fakafiemālie.
愚昧人背道,必殺己身; 愚頑人安逸,必害己命。
33 Ka ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fanongo kiate au ʻe nofo fiemālie pe ia, pea ʻe ʻataʻatā ia mei he manavahē ki he kovi.”
惟有聽從我的,必安然居住, 得享安靜,不怕災禍。
