Lea Fakatātā 10
1 Ko e ngaahi lea fakatātā ʻa Solomone. ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tamai ʻe he foha ʻoku poto: ka ko e tama vale ko e fakaongosia ia ki heʻene faʻē.
Mithali za Solomoni: Mwana mwenye hekima huleta furaha kwa baba yake, lakini mwana mpumbavu huleta huzuni kwa mama yake.
2 ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala ka ʻoku fakamoʻui mei he mate ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
Hazina zilizopatikana kwa njia mbaya hazifai, lakini uadilifu huokoa kutoka mautini.
3 ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae koloa ʻae angahala.
Bwana hawaachi waadilifu kukaa njaa, lakini hupinga tamaa ya mtu mwovu.
4 Ko ia ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻae nima vaivai ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke masiva: ka ʻoku fakakoloaʻia ʻe he nima ʻoku faʻa ngāue.
Mikono mivivu hufanya mtu kuwa maskini lakini mikono yenye bidii huleta utajiri.
5 Ko e foha poto ia ʻaia ʻoku utu mai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana: ka ko ia ʻoku mohe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae ututaʻu ko e foha ia ʻoku [tau ]mā ai.
Yeye akusanyaye mazao wakati wa kiangazi ni mwana mwenye hekima, lakini yeye alalaye wakati wa mavuno ni mwana mwenye kuaibisha.
6 ʻOku hilifaki ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ki he ʻulu ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
Baraka huwa taji kichwani mwa mwenye haki, lakini jeuri hufunika kinywa cha mwovu.
7 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae fakamanatu ki he angatonu: ka ʻe popo ʻae hingoa ʻoe angahala.
Kumbukumbu ya mwenye haki itakuwa baraka, lakini jina la mwovu litaoza.
8 ʻE maʻu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻekinautolu ʻoku loto poto: ka ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
Mwenye hekima moyoni hupokea maagizo, lakini mpumbavu apayukaye huangamia.
9 ʻOku ʻalu mālohi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku femioʻaki hono ngaahi hala ʻe ʻiloa ia.
Mtu mwadilifu hutembea salama, lakini mtu aendaye katika njia zilizopotoka atagunduliwa.
10 ʻOku tupu ʻae mamahi ʻiate ia ʻoku kakamo ʻaki hono mata: pea ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
Yeye akonyezaye kwa nia mbaya husababisha huzuni, naye mpumbavu apayukaye huangamia.
11 Ko e ngutu ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni ko e matavai ʻoe moʻui: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
Kinywa cha mwenye haki ni chemchemi ya uzima, lakini jeuri hufunika kinywa cha mwovu.
12 ʻOku tupu mei he fehiʻa ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae angahala kotoa pē.
Chuki huchochea faraka, lakini upendo husitiri mabaya yote.
13 ʻOku ʻilo ʻae poto ʻi he loungutu ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻilo: ka ko e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoʻona ʻoku masiva fakakaukau.
Hekima hupatikana katika midomo ya wenye kupambanua, lakini fimbo ni kwa ajili ya mgongo wake asiye na ufahamu.
14 ʻOku tokonaki ʻe he kakai poto ʻae ʻilo: ka ʻoku ofi ʻae ngutu ʻoe vale ki he fakaʻauha.
Wenye hekima huhifadhi maarifa, bali kinywa cha mpumbavu hualika maangamizi.
15 Ko e kolo mālohi ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae masiva ko ʻenau masiva.
Mali ya tajiri ni mji wake wenye ngome, bali ufukara ni maangamizi ya maskini.
16 ʻOku tautonu ki he moʻui ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e fua ʻoe kakai angakovi ki he angahala.
Ujira wa wenye haki huwaletea uzima, lakini mapato ya waovu huwaletea adhabu.
17 Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tala fakapoto ʻoku ʻi he hala ki he moʻui: ka ko ia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae valoki ʻoku hē ia.
Anayekubali kuadibishwa yuko katika njia ya uzima, lakini yeyote anayepuuza maonyo hupotosha wengine.
18 Ko ia ʻoku fufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻae loungutu loi, mo ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakakoviʻi, ʻoku fakatou vale.
Yeye afichaye chuki yake ana midomo ya uongo, na yeyote anayeeneza uchonganishi ni mpumbavu.
19 ʻI he lahi ʻoe lea ʻoku ʻikai ke masiva ia ʻi he angahala: ka ko e poto ia ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ki hono loungutu.
Wakati maneno ni mengi, dhambi haikosekani, lakini yeye ambaye huzuia ulimi wake ni mwenye busara.
20 ʻOku tatau mo e siliva lelei ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae loto ʻoe angahala.
Ulimi wa mwenye haki ni fedha iliyo bora, bali moyo wa mwovu una thamani ndogo.
21 ʻOku fafangaʻi ʻae toko lahi ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku mate ʻae kakai vale koe meʻa ʻi heʻenau masiva poto.
Midomo ya mwenye haki hulisha wengi, lakini wapumbavu hufa kwa kukosa ufahamu.
22 Ko e tāpuaki meia Sihova, ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻomi mo ia ha mamahi.
Baraka ya Bwana hutajirisha, wala haichanganyi huzuni.
23 ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa vaʻinga ki he vale ʻa ʻene fai kovi: ka ʻoku ʻi he tangata faʻa fakakaukau ʻae poto.
Mpumbavu hufurahia tabia mbaya, lakini mtu mwenye ufahamu hupendezwa na hekima.
24 ʻE hoko mai pe ki he angahala ʻa ʻene manavahē: ka ʻe foaki ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne holi ki ai.
Kile anachoogopa mwovu ndicho kitakachompata; kile anachoonea shauku mwenye haki atapewa.
25 ʻO hangē ko e mole atu ʻae ʻahiohio, ʻoku pehē ʻae angahala: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae tuʻunga taʻengata.
Tufani inapopita, waovu hutoweka, lakini wenye haki husimama imara milele.
26 ʻO hangē ko e vaimahi ki he nifo, mo e ʻohuafi ki he mata, ʻoku pehē ʻae fakapikopiko kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fekaua ia.
Kama siki ilivyo kwa meno na moshi kwa macho, ndivyo alivyo mvivu kwa wale waliomtuma.
27 ʻOku fakalahi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe he manavahē kia Sihova: ka ʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻoe angahala.
Kumcha Bwana huongeza urefu wa maisha, lakini miaka ya mwovu inafupishwa.
28 Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiefia ia: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻoe angahala.
Tarajio la mwenye haki ni furaha, bali matumaini ya mwovu huwa si kitu.
29 Ko e hala ʻo Sihova ko e mālohi ia ki he angatonu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he angahala.
Njia ya Bwana ni kimbilio kwa wenye haki, lakini ni maangamizi ya wale watendao mabaya.
30 ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa ueʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi māmani ʻae kakai angahala.
Kamwe wenye haki hawataondolewa, bali waovu hawatasalia katika nchi.
31 ʻOku ʻomi mei he ngutu ʻoe angatonu ʻae poto: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe talangataʻa.
Kinywa cha mwenye haki hutoa hekima, bali ulimi wa upotovu utakatwa.
32 ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
Midomo ya wenye haki inajua kile kinachofaa, bali kinywa cha mwovu hujua kile kilichopotoka tu.
