Lea Fakatātā 18
1 Ko e meʻa ʻi he holi ki ai ʻae tangata, ʻoku ne vaheʻi ia ke ne kumi mo kau ʻi he poto kotoa pē.
NO ka makemake wale e imi ai ke kanaka manao ku e, A pale aku no i na manao pono a pau.
2 ʻOku ʻikai fiefia ʻae vale ʻi he ʻilo, ka koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻaki ia hono loto.
Aole i haliu mai ka mea lapuwale i ka ike, Aka, ma ka hoike ana i kona naau.
3 ʻOka hoko mai ʻae angahala ʻoku haʻu mo ia ʻae manukia, pea mo e ongoongo kovi mo e valokia.
A hiki mai ka hewa, hiki mai no hoi ka hoowahawaha; A o ka hilahila pu kekahi me ka hoomaewaewa.
4 ʻOku hangē ko e ngaahi vai loloto ʻae ngaahi lea mei he ngutu ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku tatau ʻae matavai ʻoe poto mo e pā ʻae vaitafe.
He wai hohonu na olelo o ko ke kanaka waha; He punawai e hu ana, ke kumu o ka naauao.
5 ʻOku ʻikai lelei ia ke fili ki he tangata ʻoku angahala, kae fakahinga ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakamaau.
O ka hooluolu aku i ka mea hewa, aole ia he maikai; Aole hoi ka opea aku i ka mea pono ma ka hookolokolo ana.
6 ʻOku kau ʻae loungutu ʻoe vale ʻi he kē, pea ʻoku ui mai hono ngutu ke taaʻi ia.
O na lehelehe o ka mea lapuwale, aia no ma ka hoopaapaa; Ua maopopo kona waha e pono ke hahauia.
7 Ko e ʻauhaʻanga ʻoe vale ʻa hono ngutu, pea ko e tauhele ki hono laumālie ʻa hono loungutu.
O ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, oia kona mea e make ai; A o kona mau lehelehe hoi, oia ke pahele o kona uhane.
8 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tangata faʻa fafana ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi makafokafo, pea ʻoku ʻasi mai ia ki he kakano ʻoe loto.
O na olelo ahiahi, ua like me na olelo paani, A komo no nae iloko loa o ka opu.
9 Ko ia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene ngāue, ko e tokoua ia ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa maumau meʻa.
O ka mea hoomolowa ma kana hana ana, He kaikaina oia o ka mea hoomaunauna wale.
10 Ko e fale māʻolunga mo mālohi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova: ʻoku hola ki ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ne moʻui ai.
He pakaua ikaika ka inoa o Iehova; Malaila e holo ai ka mea pono a maluhia iho la.
11 Ko e kolo mālohi ʻae tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa, pea ʻoku tatau ia ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana mo e fuʻu ʻā māʻolunga.
O ka waiwai o ka mea waiwai, oia kona kulanakauhale paa I ka pa, Ua like hoi me ka pa kiekie i kona manao.
12 ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻae fielahi ʻi he loto ʻae tangata, pea ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻae angavaivai ʻi he hakeakiʻi.
Mamua o ka make, ua haaheo ka naau o ke kanaka, Mamua hoi o ka hookiekieia mai, he akahai.
13 Ko ia ʻoku kau ke lea ʻi ha meʻa ʻi he teʻeki te ne fanongo ki ai, ko e vale mo e fakamā ia kiate ia;
O ka mea hoopuka i kona manao mamua o kona lohe ana, He lapuwale ia, a he mea ia nona e hilahila ai.
14 ʻE faʻa kātakiʻi ʻe he laumālie ʻoe tangata haʻane vaivai; ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa kātakiʻi ʻae laumālie kuo lavea?
O ka uhane o ke kanaka, hoomanawanui no ia i ka nawaliwali; Aka, o ka uhane e eha ana, owai la e hiki ai ke hoomanawanui?
15 ʻOku maʻu ʻe he loto ʻoe fakamākukanga ʻae poto: pea ʻoku kumi ki he ʻilo ʻe he telinga ʻoe poto.
O ka naau o ka mea naauao e loaa ia ia ka ike; O ka pepeiao hoi o ka poe akamai, e imi no i ka naauao.
16 ʻOku fakaʻataʻatā ʻae hala ʻoe tangata ʻoku faʻa foaki, pea ʻoku ʻomi ai ia ki he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki.
O ko ke kanaka makana, he mea ia e hookaawale ai i wahi nona; A e kai aku hoi ia ia imua o na kanaka koikoi.
17 Ko ia ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻi heʻene meʻa ʻaʻana ʻoku matamata totonu: ka ʻi he haʻu ʻa hono kaungāʻapi ʻoku ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ia.
Ua pono ka mea i hoopiiia i kana olelo mua ana; Aka, hele mai kona hoanoho a imi ae i kona ano.
18 ʻOku fakangatangata ʻi he fai ʻoe talotalo ʻae fakakikihi, ʻo ne vahevahe ki he kakai mālohi.
O ka hailona ana ka mea e pau ai ka hoopaapaa; He mea hoi e uwao ai iwaena o ka ikaika.
19 ʻOka koviʻia ʻae loto ʻoe tokoua ʻo ha taha, ʻoku faingataʻa lahi hake ia ʻi ha kolo ʻoku mālohi: pea ko ʻena fekeʻikeʻi ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi songo ʻoe kolo.
Aole ikaika ke kulanakauhale paa i ka pa e like me ka hoahanau i hoonaukiukiia; A o ko laua hoopaapaa ana, ua like me na kaolahao o ka halealii.
20 ʻE fakamākona ʻae kete ʻoe tangata ʻaki ʻae fua ʻo hono ngutu: pea ʻe fakafonu ia ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku tupu mei hono loungutu.
Ma na hua o ko ke kanaka waha, e maona ai kona opu; A ma ka waiwai o kona mau lehelehe e piha ai oia.
21 ʻOku ʻi he ʻelelo ʻae pule ki he mate mo e moʻui: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ai te nau kai ʻa hono fua.
Ma ke elelo ka make a me ke ola; O ka mea makemake malaila, e ai oia i kona hua.
22 Ko e tangata ʻoku ne maʻu hono uaifi ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae lelei, ʻoku ne maʻu ai ʻae lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
O ka mea loaa ia ia ka wahine, loaa no ka mea maikai, Ua loaa hoi ia ia ka lokamaikai no Iehova mai.
23 ʻOku fakakolekole ʻe he masiva; ka ʻoku tali fakamālohi ʻe he koloaʻia.
He noi ko ke kanaka ilihune; A o ka mea waiwai, ua olelo kalakala oia.
24 Ko e tangata ʻoku ai hono ngaahi kāinga ʻoku ngali ke ne fai fakakāinga ʻe ia; pea ʻoku ai ʻae tākanga ʻoku pikitai mālohi hake ʻi ha tokoua.
O ke kanaka i nui na hoalauna, e poino oia malaila; Aka, o kekahi hoaaloha ua oi aku kona pipili ana mamua o ko ka hoahanau.
