3 Ko e meʻa kinisi ki he hoosi, mo e meʻa taʻofi ki he ʻasi, pea mo e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoe vale.
Isiswebhu ngesebhiza, amatomu ngakababhemi, loswazi ngolwemihlane yeziwula!
4 ʻOua naʻa tali ʻaki ʻae vale ʻa ʻene vale, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo tatau pe mo ia.

6 Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻave ha fekau ʻi he nima ʻo ha taha ʻoku vale ʻoku ne tuʻusi ʻae vaʻe, mo inu ʻi he fakamamahi.

9 ʻOku hangē ko e tau ʻae talaʻi ʻakau ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata konā, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae lea fakatātā ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
Njengogatsha lwameva luphethwe yisidakwa sinjalo isaga emlonyeni wesiwula.
10 Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ne fakatou ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he vale, pea mo e kau fai kovi.
Njengomtshoko ociba loba ngubani odlulayo unjalo oqhatsha isiwula loba umuntu ozedlulelayo.
11 Hangē ko e tafoki mai ʻae kulī ki heʻene lua, ʻoku pehē ʻae toe fai ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
Njengenja ebuyela emahlanzweni ayo kanjalo isiwula siyabuphinda ubuthutha baso.
12 ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku ne mahalo kiate ia ko e poto ia? ʻOku tau ʻamanaki lelei hake ki he vale ʻiate ia.
Uyambona yini umuntu ozibona engohlakaniphileyo? Kulethemba elingcono ngesiwula kulaye.
13 ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻi he hala: ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo ʻae laione.”
Ivilavoxo lithi, “Kulesilwane endleleni, kulesilwane emigwaqweni!”
14 Hangē ko e feʻaluʻaki ʻae matapā ʻi hono meʻa tautau, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi hono mohenga.

15 ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he fakapikopiko ʻa hono nima ʻi hono fatafata; pea ʻoku mamahi ia ʻi heʻene toe ʻomi ia ki hono ngutu.
Ivilavoxo litshonisa isandla salo emganwini; livilaphe ukusa isandla emlonyeni lidle.
16 ʻOku poto hake ʻae fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana, ʻi he kau tangata ʻe toko fitu ʻoku faʻa tali ʻaki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
Ivila lizibona lihlakaniphile kakhulu okwedlula abantu abayisikhombisa abangaphendula ngokuhlakanipha.
17 Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu ange, pea ne kaunoa ʻi ha fakakikihi naʻe ʻikai kau ai ia, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku puke ha kulī ʻi hono telinga.
Njengomuntu odonsa inja ngendlebe unjalo umuntu othi edlula angenele ingxabano ingesiyakhe.
18 Hangē ha tangata faha ʻoku lī fano ʻe ia ʻae afi, mo e ngaahi ngahau, mo e mate,
Njengohlanya luphosa izikhuni zomlilo kumbe imitshoko ebulalayo,
19 ʻOku pehē pe ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko ʻeku fakavā pe?”
injalo indoda ephoxa umakhelwane wayo ibisisithi, “Bengizidlalela nje!”
20 ʻI he ʻikai ha fefie ʻoku mate ʻae afi: pea pehē, ʻi he ʻikai ha fakakovi kuo longo leva ʻae fakakikihi.
Nxa kungaselankuni umlilo uyacima; nxa kungaselakunyeya ukuxabana kuyaphela.
21 Hangē ko e malamala ki he malala vela, mo e fefie ki he afi; ʻoku pehē ʻae tangata faʻa fakakikihi kē.
Njengamalahle avuthayo loba njengenkuni emlilweni, unjalo umuntu othanda ingxabano ekuvuseni inkani.
22 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.
Amazwi omuntu onyeyayo anjengezibiliboco; angena ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yomuntu.
23 Ko e loungutu lapu mo e loto kovi, ʻoku tatau mo ha konga ipu maumau kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva.
Njengesiliva egcotshwe esitsheni sebumba sikhazimule kunjalo ukuthakazelela kwezindebe zenhliziyo elobubi.
24 Ko ia ʻoku taufehiʻa, ʻoku lapu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hono loungutu, ka ʻoku nofo ʻi hono loto ʻae kākā;
Umuntu olenhliziyo embi uvala ngezindebe ezimnandi, kodwa enhliziyweni yakhe ufihle inkohliso.
25 ʻOka matamatalelei ʻene lea, ʻoua naʻa ke tui kiate ia: he ʻoku fitu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻi hono loto.
Loba ukukhuluma kwakhe kumnandi, kodwa ungaze wamkholwa, ngoba inhliziyo yakhe igcwele izithuko eziyisikhombisa.
26 Ko ia ʻoku ne fakafufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻa ʻene fai kākā, ʻe fakahā ʻa ʻene fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē.
Inzondo yakhe angayivala ngobuqili, kodwa ububi bakhe buzavezwa obala ebantwini.
27 Ko ia ʻoku keli ʻae luo ʻe tō ia ki ai: pea ko ia ʻoku tekaʻi ʻae maka ʻe toe ʻoho mai ia kiate ia.
Umuntu angagebha umgodi, uzawela kuwo; umuntu angagiqa ilitshe, lizaphenduka ligiqikele phezu kwakhe.
28 ʻOku fehiʻa ʻae ʻelelo loi kiate kinautolu ʻoku mamahi ai; pea ʻoku tupu ʻae malaʻia mei he ngutu ʻoku lapu.
Ulimi oluqamba amanga luyabazonda labo olubalimazayo, lomlomo okhohlisayo uletha incithakalo.
