Lea Fakatātā 29
1 Ko ia kuo liunga lahi hono valokiʻi kae fakakekeva ʻe ia hono kia, ʻe fakaʻauha fakafokifā ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ki ai.
Mtu anayeendelea kuwa na shingo ngumu baada ya maonyo mengi, ataangamia ghafula, wala hapati dawa.
2 ʻOka pule ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae kakai: ka ʻoka maʻu ʻae pule ʻe he angahala ʻoku mamahi ai ʻae kakai.
Wenye haki wanapostawi, watu hufurahi; waovu watawalapo, watu hulia kwa huzuni.
3 Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he poto ʻoku ne fakafiefiaʻi ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku maumauʻi ʻene koloa ʻe ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki.
Mtu apendaye hekima huleta furaha kwa baba yake, bali aambatanaye na makahaba hutapanya mali yake.
4 Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamaau totonu ʻae tuʻi ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ai ʻae fonua: ka ko ia ʻoku ne faʻa maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoku ne fakamalaʻia ia.
Kwa haki mfalme huipa nchi uthabiti, bali mfalme aliye na tamaa ya rushwa huiangamiza.
5 Ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku lea lapu ki hono kaungāʻapi, ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻe ia ʻae kupenga ki hono vaʻe.
Yeyote amsifuye jirani yake isivyostahili, anautandaza wavu kuitega miguu yake.
6 Ko e fai angahala ʻae tangata angakovi ko e tauhele ia: ka ʻoku hiva mo fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
Mtu mbaya hutegwa na dhambi yake mwenyewe bali mwenye haki huweza kuimba na kufurahi.
7 ʻOku tokanga ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki he masiva: ka ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae angakovi ke ʻiloʻi ia.
Mwenye haki hujali haki kwa ajili ya maskini, bali mwovu hajishughulishi na hilo.
8 ʻOku tutu ʻae kolo ʻe he kau tangata manuki; ka ʻoku taʻofi atu ʻae houhau ʻe he kakai poto.
Wenye mzaha huuchochea mji, bali watu wenye hekima hugeuzia mbali hasira.
9 Kapau ʻoku fakakikihi ʻae tangata poto mo ha tangata vale, neongo ʻene lili pe kata, ʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻe tupu ai.
Kama mwenye hekima akienda mahakamani na mpumbavu, mpumbavu hukasirika na kudhihaki, wala hakuna amani.
10 ʻOku fehiʻa ki he angatonu ʻaia ʻoku fieinu ki he toto: ka ʻoku kumi hono laumālie ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
Watu wamwagao damu humchukia mtu mwadilifu na hutafuta kumuua mtu mnyofu.
11 ʻOku fakahā ʻe he vale ʻa hono loto kotoa pē: ka ʻoku fakalaulauloto ʻe he poto ki he ʻamui:
Mpumbavu huonyesha hasira yake yote, bali mwenye hekima hujizuia.
12 Kapau ʻoku faʻa tokanga ʻaia ʻoku pule ki he ngaahi loi, ʻe hoko ʻo kovi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
Kama mtawala akisikiliza uongo, maafisa wake wote huwa waovu.
13 ʻOku faʻa fakataha pe ʻae masiva pea mo e kākā: pea ʻoku fakatou māmangia hona mata meia Sihova.
Mtu maskini na mtu anayeonea wanafanana kwa jambo hili: Bwana hutia nuru macho yao wote wawili.
14 ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu ke taʻengata ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia ʻoku fai totonu ʻae fakamaau ki he masiva.
Kama mfalme akiwaamua maskini kwa haki, kiti chake cha enzi kitakuwa thabiti siku zote.
15 ʻOku tupu ʻae poto mei he meʻa tā mo e valoki: ka ko e tamasiʻi ʻoku tuku pe ki heʻene faʻiteliha ʻoku ne fakamaaʻi ʻa ʻene faʻē.
Fimbo ya maonyo hutia hekima, bali mtoto aliyeachiwa bila maonyo humwaibisha mama yake.
16 ʻOka tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae kakai angahala, ʻoku tupu mo e fai kovi: ka ʻe mamata ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki heʻenau hinga.
Wakati waovu wanapostawi, pia dhambi vivyo hivyo, lakini wenye haki wataliona anguko lao.
17 Ke ke tauteʻi ho foha, pea te ke fiemālie ʻiate ia: ʻio, te ne fakafiefiaʻi ho laumālie.
Mrudi mwanao, naye atakupa amani, atakufurahisha nafsi yako.
18 ʻOka ʻikai ʻi ai ha kikite ʻoku malaʻia ʻae kakai; ka ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ki he fono.
Mahali pasipo na ufunuo, watu kujizuia, bali ana heri mtu yule aishikaye sheria.
19 ʻE ʻikai poto ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻi ha lea valoki: he naʻa mo ʻene ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻikai te ne talangofua.
Mtumishi hawezi kuonywa kwa maneno matupu, ajapoelewa, hataitikia.
20 ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku faʻa lea vave? ʻOku tau ʻamanaki lelei hake ki he vale ʻiate ia.
Je, unamwona mtu azungumzaye kwa haraka? Kuna matumaini zaidi kwa mpumbavu kuliko yeye.
21 Ko ia ʻoku fakahikihiki ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki talu ʻene kei tamasiʻi, ʻe faifai pea hoko ia ʻamui ko hono foha.
Kama mtu akimdekeza mtumishi wake tangu ujanani, atamletea sikitiko mwishoni.
22 ʻOku fakatupu ʻae fekeʻikeʻi ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻita, pea ʻoku lahi ʻae fai hala ʻae tangata loto fili.
Mtu mwenye hasira huchochea ugomvi, naye mtu mwenye hasira ya haraka hutenda dhambi nyingi.
23 Ko e fielahi ʻae tangata, ʻe fakahifo ai ia ki lalo; ka ʻe poupou hake ʻae laumālie ʻoe angavaivai ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei.
Kiburi cha mtu humshusha, bali mtu mwenye roho ya unyenyekevu hupata heshima.
24 Ko ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kaihaʻa ʻoku fehiʻa ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: pea ʻoku fanongo ʻe ia ki he kape, ka ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ia.
Anayekubaliana na mwizi ni adui wa nafsi yake mwenyewe; huapishwa lakini hathubutu kushuhudia.
25 Ko e manavahē ki ha tangata, ʻoku hoko ia ko e tauhele: ka ʻe moʻui pe ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
Kuwaogopa watu huwa ni mtego, bali yeyote amtumainiaye Bwana atakuwa salama.
26 ʻOku kumi ʻe he tokolahi ki he loto lelei ʻo ia ʻoku pule; ka ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae fakamaau ki he tangata taki taha.
Wengi hutafuta kusikilizwa na mtawala, bali mtu hupata haki kutoka kwa Bwana.
27 Ko e tangata taʻefaitotonu ʻoku fakalielia ia ki he angatonu. Pea ko ia ʻoku fai totonu ʻi hono hala ʻoku fakalielia ia ki he angahala.
Mwenye haki huwachukia sana wasio waaminifu; waovu huwachukia sana wenye haki.
