Lea Fakatātā 24
1 ʻOua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ke kau mo kinautolu.
Kei hae koe ki te hunga kino, kaua hoki e hiahia hei hoa mo ratou.
2 He ʻoku fakakaukau ʻa honau loto ki he fakaʻauha, pea lea ʻa honau loungutu ki he fakamaveuveu.
Ko ta to ratou ngakau hoki e whakaaro ai, he tukino, ko ta o ratou ngutu e korero ai, he whanoke.
3 Ko e meʻa ʻi he poto ʻoku langa ai ha fale; pea ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ia ʻi he faʻa fakakaukau:
Ma te whakaaro nui ka hanga ai te whare, a ma te matauranga ka u ai:
4 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa ʻilo ʻe fakapito ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi koloa mahuʻinga mo lelei.
Ma te mohio hoki ka ki ai nga ruma i nga taonga utu nui katoa, i nga mea ahuareka.
5 ʻOku mālohi ʻae tangata ʻoku poto, ʻio, ʻoku fakatupu ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻilo ʻa hono mālohi.
He kaha te tangata whakaaro nui; ae, e whakanuia ana e te tangata mohio te kaha.
6 He te ke fakahoko hoʻo tau ʻi he fakakaukau poto: pea ʻi he tokolahi ʻa hono fakakaukauʻi ʻoku ai ʻae tuʻumālie.
Na kia pai te ngarahu ina anga koe ki te whawhai: kei te tokomaha hoki o nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro te ora.
7 ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tatae ʻae poto ʻe he vale: ʻoku ʻikai mafaʻa hono ngutu ʻi he matapā.
He tiketike rawa te whakaaro nui mo te wairangi: e kore e kuihi tona mangai i te kuwaha.
8 Ko ia ʻoku filioʻi ki he fai ʻo ha kovi ʻe ui ia ko e tangata pauʻu.
Ko te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te kino, ka kiia he whanoke.
9 Ko e mahalo ʻae vale ko e angahala ia: pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa manuki ko e fakalielia ia ki he kakai.
He hara te whakaaro wairangi: he mea whakarihariha ano ki te tangata te tangata whakahi.
10 Kapau te ke pongia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, ta ʻoku siʻi ho mālohi.
Ki te ngoikore koe i te ra o te he, he iti tou kaha.
11 Kapau te ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kuo takina ki he mate, pea mo kinautolu kuo teu ke tāmateʻi;
Whakaorangia te hunga e kawea atu ana ki te mate, a puritia mai hoki e koe te hunga e meatia ana kia whakamatea.
12 Kapau te ke pehē, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te mau ʻilo ki ai;” ʻikai ʻoku tokangaʻi ia ʻe ia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae loto? Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ho laumālie, ʻikai ʻoku ne ʻilo ia ki ai? Pea ʻikai ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ki he tangata taki taha ʻae fakatatau ʻo ʻene ngaahi ngāue?
Ki te mea koe, Nana, kihai tenei i mohiotia e matou: kahore ianei te kaipauna ngakau i te whakaaro ki tera? a, ko te kaitiaki o tou wairua, kahore ranei ia e mohio? e kore ranei e homai e ia ki te tangata kia rite ki tana mahi?
13 ʻE hoku foha, kai ʻe koe ʻae honi, koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei ia; pea mo e ngeʻesi ʻoe hone ʻaia ʻoku melie ki ho ngutu:
Kainga, e taku tama, te honi, he pai hoki; me te honikoma, he mea reka hoki ki tou mangai:
14 ʻE pehē ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe poto ki ho laumālie: ʻoka ke ka maʻu ia, ʻe hoko ai ʻae totongi, pea ʻe ʻikai motuhi hoʻo ʻamanaki.
Ka mohio ai koe ki te whakaaro nui, he mea ki tou wairua: ki te kitea e koe, he tukunga iho ano tona, e kore hoki tau i tumanako ai e hatepea.
15 ʻE tangata angakovi, ʻoua naʻa ke toiʻi mo lamasi ʻae fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi hono nofoʻanga:
Kaua, e te tangata kino, e whanga ki te nohoanga o te tangata tika; kei tukino koe ki tona takotoranga.
16 He ka hinga ʻae tangata angatonu ke liunga fitu, ʻoku ne toetuʻu hake: ka ʻe tō ʻae angahala ki he kovi.
E hinga ana hoki te tangata tika, e whitu hinganga, ka ara ake ano: ka whakataka ia te hunga kino e te he.
17 ʻOua naʻa ke fiefia ʻoka tō hifo ho fili, pea ʻoua naʻa fiefia ho loto ʻoka tūkia ia:
Kaua e harakoa ki te hinga tou hoariri, kaua hoki tou ngakau e hari ina taka ia:
18 Telia naʻa ʻafioʻi ia ʻe Sihova, pea kovi ia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne fakatafoki hono houhau meiate ia.
Kei kite a Ihowa, a ka he ki tana titiro, a ka tahuri atu tona riri i a ia.
19 ʻOua naʻa ke kau mo e kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angahala;
Kei mamae koe, he mea mo nga kaimahi i te kino, kei hae hoki ki te hunga kino.
20 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ha totongi lelei ki he angakovi: ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻae maama ʻae angahala.
Kahore hoki he mutunga pai ki te tangata kino; ka keto hoki te rama a te hunga kino.
21 ʻE hoku foha, ke ke manavahē koe kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi: pea ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto feliliuʻaki:
E taku tama, e wehi ki a Ihowa, ki te kingi hoki: a, kaua e whakauru noa atu ki te hunga e mea ana ki te whakaputa ke.
22 Koeʻuhi ʻe tupu fakafokifā ʻenau tuʻutāmaki; pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hona tautea fakatouʻosi?
No te mea ka puta tata te aitua mo ratou: a ko wai ka mohio ki te whakangaromanga o raua tokorua?
23 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni foki ʻoku kau ki he poto. ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fai ʻoe fakamaau.
He whakatauki ano hoki enei na te hunga whakaaro nui. Ehara i te mea pai kia whakaaro ki te kanohi tangata ina whakawa.
24 Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻo pehē ki he angakovi, “Ko e māʻoniʻoni koe;” ʻe fakamalaʻia ia ʻe he kakai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻaupito ki ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga:
Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te tangata kino, He tika koe; ka kanga nga iwi ki a ia, ka whakarihariha nga tauiwi ki a ia.
25 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae monūʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku valokiʻi ia, mo e tāpuaki ʻoe lelei ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu.
Otiia ka koa nga ngakau o te hunga e riria ai tona he, ka tau iho ano hoki te manaaki pai ki runga ki a ratou.
26 ʻE fekita ʻae kakai ki hono loungutu ʻo ia ʻoku faʻa tali aki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
Ka kihia e ia nga ngutu e whakahoki ana i nga kupu tika.
27 Ke teuteu hoʻo ngāue ʻituʻa, pea ke teuteu ia ke taau mo koe ʻae ngoue; pea ke toki langa ho fale.
Meinga kia takoto pai tau mahi i waho, kia rite hoki hei meatanga mau i te mara; muri iho ka hanga i tou whare.
28 ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi taʻehanototonu; pea ʻoua naʻa ke kākā ʻaki ho loungutu.
Kaua koe e tu hei kaiwhakaatu he mo tou hoa, i te mea kahore he take; a kaua e tinihanga ki ou ngutu.
29 ʻOua naʻa ke pehē, “Te u fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kiate au: te u ʻatu ki he tangata ʻo tatau mo ʻene ngāue.”
Kaua e ki, Ka meatia ano e ahau ki a ia tana i mea ai ki ahau; ka rite ki ta te tangata mahi taku e whakahoki ai ki a ia.
30 Naʻaku ʻalu atu ki he ngoue ʻae fakapikopiko, mo e ngoue vaine ʻae tangata taʻefakakaukau;
I haere ahau i te taha o te mara a te mangere, i te taha hoki o te mara waina a te tangata kahore ona mahara;
31 Pea vakai, kuo vaoa ia ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae talatalaʻāmoa, pea kuo maumau hono ʻā maka ʻo ia.
Na, kua tupuria katoatia e te tataramoa, kapi tonu te mata o te mara i te ongaonga, a ko to reira taiepa kohatu kua oti te wahi.
32 Naʻaku toki mamata, pea u fifili lahi ki ai: naʻaku sio ki ai, pea ne akonakiʻi au.
Katahi ahau ka titiro, ka ata whakaaroaro: ka kite ahau, a ka hopu mai hei ako moku.
33 ʻIo, ʻe toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:
Kia iti ake nei te wahi e parangia ai, kia iti ake nei te moe, kia iti ake te kotuituitanga o nga ringa ka moe ai:
34 Pea pehē, ʻe haʻu ai hoʻo masiva ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku fononga mai; mo hoʻo paea ʻo hangē ha tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafu.
Ka pera te haerenga mai o tou muhore ano he kaipahua; o tou rawakore hoki ano he tangata mau patu.
