Lea Fakatātā 11
1 Ko e fai kākā ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa ko e fakalielia kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ne leleiʻia ʻi he fakamamafa totonu.
Statera dolosa, abominatio est apud Deum: et pondus aequum, voluntas eius.
2 ʻOka hoko ʻae fielahi, ʻoku hoko foki mo e mā: ka ʻoku ʻi he angavaivai ʻae poto.
Ubi fuerit superbia, ibi erit et contumelia: ubi autem est humilitas, ibi et sapientia.
3 ʻE fakahinohinoʻi ʻae angatonu ʻe heʻenau fai totonu: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae angahala ʻe heʻenau talangataʻa.
Simplicitas iustorum diriget eos: et supplantatio perversorum vastabit illos.
4 ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau: ka ʻoku fakahaofi mei he mate ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
Non proderunt divitiae in die ultionis: iustitia autem liberabit a morte.
5 ʻE fakatonutonu ʻae hala ʻoe haohaoa ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻe hinga ʻae angahala ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana.
Iustitia simplicis diriget viam eius: et in impietate sua corruet impius.
6 ʻE fakamoʻui ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau angatonu: ka ʻe moʻua ʻae angahala ʻi heʻenau kovi ʻanautolu.
Iustitia rectorum liberabit eos: et in insidiis suis capientur iniqui.
7 ʻOka mate ʻae tangata angahala, ʻe ʻauha ai ʻene ʻamanaki: pea ʻoku ʻauha mo e ʻamanaki ʻoe taʻeangatonu.
Mortuo homine impio, nulla erit ultra spes: et expectatio solicitorum peribit.
8 ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻae māʻoniʻoni mei he mamahi, pea kuo tongia ia ʻe he tangata angahala.
Iustus de angustia liberatus est: et tradetur impius pro eo.
9 ʻOku fakamalaʻia ʻe he tangata kākā ʻa hono kāinga ʻaki hono ngutu: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻilo ʻe fakamoʻui ʻae angatonu.
Simulator ore decipit amicum suum: iusti autem liberabuntur scientia.
10 ʻOku fiefia ʻae kolo ʻi he monūʻia ʻae māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻi he mate ʻae angahala ʻoku ai ʻae mavava.
In bonis iustorum exultabit civitas: et in perditione impiorum erit laudatio.
11 ʻOku hakeakiʻi ʻae kolo ʻi he tāpuaki ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku holoki hifo ia ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
Benedictione iustorum exaltabitur civitas: et ore impiorum subvertetur.
12 Ko ia ʻoku masiva poto ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi: ka ʻoku fakalongo pē ʻae tangata poto.
Qui despicit amicum suum, indigens corde est: vir autem prudens tacebit.
13 ʻOku fakahā ʻae ngaahi tala fufū ʻe ia ʻoku fakalanga lau: ka ko ia ʻoku loto totonu ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae meʻa.
Qui ambulat fraudulenter, revelat arcana: qui autem fidelis est, celat amici commissum.
14 ʻI he ʻikai ha faʻa fakakaukau ʻoku hinga ʻae kakai: ka ʻoku ai ʻae maluʻi ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae toko lahi.
Ubi non est gubernator, populus corruet: salus autem, ubi multa consilia.
15 Ko ia ʻoku ne tongia ha taha foʻou ʻe mamahi ai ia: pea ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ke fai ʻae fetongi ʻe tuʻutuʻumālie ia.
Affligetur malo, qui fidem facit pro extraneo: qui autem cavet laqueos, securus erit.
16 ʻOku maʻu ʻi he fefine angalelei ʻae ongoongolelei: pea ʻoku maʻu pe ki he kakai mālohi ʻenau koloa.
Mulier gratiosa inveniet gloriam: et robusti habebunt divitias.
17 ʻOku fai lelei ʻe he tangata angaʻofa ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: ka ko ia ʻoka anga fakamālohi ʻoku ne fakamamahiʻi hono kakano ʻoʻona.
Benefacit animae suae vir misericors: qui autem crudelis est, etiam propinquos abiicit.
18 ʻOku fai ʻe he angahala ʻae ngāue fakakākaaʻi: ka ʻe maʻu ʻae totongi moʻoni ʻe ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
Impius facit opus instabile: seminanti autem iustitiam merces fidelis.
19 ʻO hangē ʻoku fakatau ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki he moʻui: ʻoku pehē, ko ia ʻoku tulituli pau ki he kovi ʻoku ne fai ia ke ne mate ai ia.
Clementia praeparat vitam: et sectatio malorum mortem.
20 Ko kinautolu ʻoku loto pikopiko ʻoku fakalielia kia Sihova: ka ʻoku fiemālie ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu honau hala.
Abominabile Domino cor pravum: et voluntas eius in iis, qui simpliciter ambulant.
21 Neongo ʻae fepukeaki ʻae nima ʻoe kakai angahala ʻe ʻikai taʻetautea ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe fakamoʻui ʻae hako ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
Manus in manu non erit innocens malus: semen autem iustorum salvabitur.
22 ʻO hangē ko e mama koula ʻi he ihu ʻoe puaka, ʻoku pehē ʻae fefine hoihoifua ʻoku ʻikai ke anga fakapotopoto.
Circulus aureus in naribus suis, mulier pulchra et fatua.
23 ʻOku lelei maʻu pe ʻae holi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e houhau ʻoku ʻamanaki ki ai ʻae angahala.
Desiderium iustorum omne bonum est: praestolatio impiorum furor.
24 ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku faʻa foaki, kae maʻu ai ʻo lahi: pea ʻoku ai ʻoku taʻofi ʻi he meʻa ʻoku totonu ke fai, ka ʻoku tupu ai ʻa ʻene masiva.
Alii dividunt propria, et ditiores fiunt: alii rapiunt non sua, et semper in egestate sunt.
25 ʻE fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ʻae loto ʻoku faʻa ʻofa: pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa fakaviviku ʻe fakaviviku ia foki.
Anima, quae benedicit, impinguabitur: et qui inebriat, ipse quoque inebriabitur.
26 ʻE fakamalaʻia ia ʻe he kakai ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ʻae meʻakai: ka ʻe hilifaki ʻae monūʻia ki hono ʻulu ʻaia ʻoku faʻa fakatau ia.
Qui abscondit frumenta, maledicetur in populis: benedictio autem super caput vendentium.
27 ʻOku maʻu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻe ia ʻoku kumi fakamātoato ki he lelei: ka ko ia ʻoku kumi ki he kovi, ʻe hoko mai pe ia kiate ia.
Bene consurgit diluculo qui quaerit bona: qui autem investigator malorum est, opprimetur ab eis.
28 ʻE hinga ia ʻaia ʻoku falala ki heʻene koloa: ka ʻe tupu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e vaʻa.
Qui confidit in divitiis suis, corruet: iusti autem quasi virens folium germinabunt.
29 Ko ia ʻoku faʻa fakafiuʻi ʻa hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻe maʻu pe ʻe ia ʻae matangi: pea ʻe hoko ʻae vale ko e tamaioʻeiki kiate ia ʻoku poto hono loto.
Qui conturbat domum suam, possidebit ventos: et qui stultus est, serviet sapienti.
30 Ko e fua ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui; pea ko ia ʻoku lavaʻi ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻoku poto ia.
Fructus iusti lignum vitae: et qui suscipit animas, sapiens est.
31 Vakai, ʻe maʻu totongi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he māmani: ka ʻe lahi hake ʻene maʻu totongi ʻe he angakovi mo e angahala.
Si iustus in terra recipit, quanto magis impius et peccator?
