Lea Fakatātā 16
1 ʻOku meia Sihova ʻae teuteu ʻoe loto ʻi he tangata, pea mo e tali ʻoe ʻelelo.
hominis est animum praeparare et Dei gubernare linguam
2 ʻOku maʻa ʻae hala kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ki hono mata ʻoʻona; ka ʻoku fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laumālie.
omnes viae hominum patent oculis eius spirituum ponderator est Dominus
3 Tuku kia Sihova hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ai hoʻo ngaahi mahalo.
revela Domino opera tua et dirigentur cogitationes tuae
4 Kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa kotoa pē maʻana: ʻio, naʻa mo e kau angahala ki he ʻaho ʻoe kovi.
universa propter semet ipsum operatus est Dominus impium quoque ad diem malum
5 ʻOku fakalielia kia Sihova ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto fielahi: pea kapau ʻe puke ʻae nima ki he nima, ʻe ʻikai taʻehoko hono tautea.
abominatio Domini omnis arrogans etiam si manus ad manum fuerit non erit innocens
6 ʻOku fakamaʻa mei he angahala ʻe he ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni: pea ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova ʻoku tafoki ai ʻae tangata mei he kovi.
misericordia et veritate redimitur iniquitas et in timore Domini declinatur a malo
7 ʻOka lelei kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ne pule ki hono ngaahi fili ke nau fakalelei mo ia.
cum placuerint Domino viae hominis inimicos quoque eius convertet ad pacem
8 ʻOku lelei hake ʻae meʻa siʻi mo e māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he maʻu ʻae koloa lahi ʻi he taʻetotonu.
melius est parum cum iustitia quam multi fructus cum iniquitate
9 ʻOku fili ʻe he loto ʻoe tangata ki hono hala: ka ʻoku fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ngaahi laka.
cor hominis disponet viam suam sed Domini est dirigere gressus eius
10 ʻOku haʻu mei he loungutu ʻoe tuʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻoku totonu: ʻoku ʻikai fai hala hono ngutu ʻi heʻene fai ʻae fakamaau.
divinatio in labiis regis in iudicio non errabit os eius
11 Ko e meʻa fakamamafa mo e meʻa fakatatau totonu ʻoku meia Sihova ia: ko e maka fakamamafa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he kato ko ʻene ngāue ia.
pondus et statera iudicia Domini sunt et opera eius omnes lapides sacculi
12 Ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae fai angahala ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: he ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
abominabiles regi qui agunt impie quoniam iustitia firmatur solium
13 Ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻae loungutu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate ia ʻoku lea totonu.
voluntas regum labia iusta qui recta loquitur diligetur
14 Ko e tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku tatau ia mo e ngaahi talafekau ʻae mate: ka ʻe lolomi ia ʻe he tangata ʻoku poto.
indignatio regis nuntii mortis et vir sapiens placabit eam
15 ʻI he maama ʻoe fofonga ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku ai ʻae moʻui; pea ko ʻene ʻofa ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻao ʻoe ʻuha mui.
in hilaritate vultus regis vita et clementia eius quasi imber serotinus
16 He ʻikai ʻoku lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻoe poto ʻi he maʻu ʻoe koula? Pea ʻikai ʻoku lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻae faʻa ʻilo ʻi he fili ki he siliva?
posside sapientiam quia auro melior est et adquire prudentiam quia pretiosior est argento
17 Ko e hala motuʻa ʻoe angatonu ko ʻenau afe mei he kovi: ko ia ʻoku tauhi ki hono hala ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe ia hono laumālie.
semita iustorum declinat mala custos animae suae servat viam suam
18 ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae fielahi ʻi he fakaʻauha, pea mo e loto angahiki ʻi he hoko ʻae hinga.
contritionem praecedit superbia et ante ruinam exaltatur spiritus
19 ʻOku lelei lahi hake ia ke loto angavaivai mo e kakai angavaivai, ʻi he vahevahe ha koloa kuo maʻu mo e fielahi.
melius est humiliari cum mitibus quam dividere spolia cum superbis
20 ʻE maʻu ʻae lelei ʻe ia ʻoku tokanga fakapotopoto ki ha meʻa: pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
eruditus in verbo repperiet bona et qui in Domino sperat beatus est
21 ʻE ui ʻakinautolu ʻoku loto poto ko e fakamākukanga; pea ʻoku tupu ʻae poto mei he loungutu ʻoku melie.
qui sapiens corde est appellabitur prudens et qui dulcis eloquio maiora percipiet
22 Ko e faʻa ʻilo ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui kiate ia ʻoku maʻu ia: ka ko e akonaki mei he vale ko e vale pe ia.
fons vitae eruditio possidentis doctrina stultorum fatuitas
23 ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he loto ʻoe poto ʻa hono ngutu, pea ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae poto ki hono loungutu.
cor sapientis erudiet os eius et labiis illius addet gratiam
24 ʻOku tatau mo e ngeʻesi ʻoe hone ʻae lea mālie, ʻi hono huʻa melie ki he laumālie, pea ko e moʻui ia ki he ngaahi hui.
favus mellis verba conposita dulcedo animae et sanitas ossuum
25 ʻOku ai ʻae hala ʻoku matamata totonu ki he tangata, ka ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona ko e ngaahi hala ki he mate.
est via quae videtur homini recta et novissimum eius ducit ad mortem
26 Ko ia ʻoku ngaue ʻoku ngāue maʻana: he ʻoku tangi ai kiate ia ʻa hono ngutu.
anima laborantis laborat sibi quia conpulit eum os suum
27 ʻOku keli hake ʻae kovi ʻe he tangata angakovi: pea ʻoku ʻi hono loungutu ʻae afi kakaha.
vir impius fodit malum et in labiis eius ignis ardescit
28 ʻOku tūtuuʻi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻae feʻiteʻitani: pea ʻoku fakamāvae ʻe he tangata faʻa fafana ʻae kaumeʻa feʻofoʻofani.
homo perversus suscitat lites et verbosus separat principes
29 ʻOku fakahalaʻi ʻe he tangata ʻoku angamālohi ʻa hono kāinga, ʻo ne tataki ia ki he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei.
vir iniquus lactat amicum suum et ducit eum per viam non bonam
30 ʻOku ne fakamohe hono mata koeʻuhi ke ne fakakaukau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kovi: ʻi he ngāue ʻa hono loungutu ʻoku hoko ai ʻae kovi.
qui adtonitis oculis cogitat prava mordens labia sua perficit malum
31 Ko e ʻuluhinā ko e tatā ia ʻoe ongoongolelei, ʻo ʻilo ia ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
corona dignitatis senectus in viis iustitiae repperietur
32 Ko ia ʻoku fakatotoka ki he ʻita ʻoku lelei hake ia ʻi ha taha ʻoku mālohi; pea pehē foki ia ʻoku faʻa pule ki hono loto ʻi ha taha ʻoku hamu ha kolo.
melior est patiens viro forte et qui dominatur animo suo expugnatore urbium
33 ʻOku lī ki he loto kofu ʻae talotalo; ka ʻoku ʻia Sihova, ʻa hono fakamaauʻi.
sortes mittuntur in sinu sed a Domino temperantur
