Mmɛbusɛm 13
1 Ɔba nyansafoɔ tie nʼagya nkyerɛkyerɛ; na ɔfɛdifoɔ ntie animka.
ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe he foha ʻoku poto ʻae akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻae valoki ʻe he faʻa manuki.
2 Nneɛma pa a ɛfiri onipa anom no ma no anigyeɛ, na wɔn a wɔnni nokorɛ no kɔn dɔ basabasayɛ.
ʻE kai ʻe he tangata ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakamālohi ki he laumālie ʻoe kakai fai kovi.
3 Deɛ ɔkora nʼano no kora ne nkwa so, nanso deɛ ɔkasa a ɔnsusu ho no bɛba ɔsɛeɛ mu.
Ko ia ʻoku vakai ki hono ngutu, ʻoku tauhi ʻe ia ʻene moʻui: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate ia ʻoku fakamanga lahi hono loungutu.
4 Onihafoɔ pere hwehwɛ nanso ɔnnya hwee, na deɛ ɔyɛ adwuma no nya deɛ ɔpɛ biara.
ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakapikopiko, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻe fafangaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoe faʻa ngāue.
5 Teneneefoɔ kyiri deɛ ɛnyɛ nokorɛ, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ de aniwuo ne ahohora ba.
ʻOku fehiʻa ki he loi ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e tangata angahala ko e fakalielia ia, pea ʻoku hoko ia ʻo mā.
6 Tenenee bɔ ɔnokwafoɔ ho ban, na amumuyɛsɛm tu ɔbɔnefoɔ gu.
ʻOku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hono hala ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku angatonu; ka ʻoku tulaki hifo ʻe he kovi ʻaia ʻoku angahala.
7 Obi yɛ ne ho sɛ ɔdefoɔ, a nso ɔnni hwee, ɔfoforɔ yɛ ne ho sɛ ohiani, a nso ɔwɔ ahonya bebree.
ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ia, ka ʻoku ne masiva pe: pea ʻoku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamasivaʻi ia, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa lahi.
8 Obi ahonya bɛtumi agye no nkwa, nanso ohiani nte ahunahuna biara.
Ko e koloa ʻae tangata ko e huhuʻi ia ʻo ʻene moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ki he valoki ʻae masiva.
9 Teneneefoɔ kanea hyerɛn pa ara, nanso wɔdum amumuyɛfoɔ kanea.
ʻOku fiefia ʻae maama ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala.
10 Ahantan de ntɔkwa nko ara na ɛba, na wɔhunu nyansa wɔ wɔn a wɔtie afutuo mu.
ʻOku tupu pe ʻi he fielahi ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku maʻu ʻae poto ʻekinautolu kuo akonakiʻi lelei.
11 Ahonya a ɛnam kwammɔne soɔ no hwere ntɛm so, na deɛ ɔboa sika ano nkakrankakra no ma ɛdɔɔso.
Ko e koloa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vikiviki ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke ʻosi: ka ʻe fakalahi ia kiate ia ʻoku tānaki ʻi he faʻa ngāue.
12 Anidasoɔ a wɔtu hyɛ da no bɔ akoma yadeɛ, nanso anigyinadeɛ a nsa aka no yɛ nkwa dua.
ʻOku pongia ʻae loto ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻoku tuai ʻene hoko: pea ka hoko mai ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
13 Deɛ ɔtwiri ahyɛdeɛ no bɛtua so ka, nanso deɛ ɔde obuo ma mmara no, wɔma no akatua.
ʻE fakaʻauha ia ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he folofola: ka ʻe fiemālie pe ia ʻaia ʻoku manavahē ki he fekau.
14 Onyansafoɔ nkyerɛkyerɛ te sɛ nkwa asutire, ɛyi onipa firi owuo afidie mu.
Ko e fono ʻae poto ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui, ke tau hao ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
15 Nhunumu pa de adom ba, nanso atorofoɔ ɛkwan so yɛ den.
ʻOku tupu mei he fakakaukau lelei ʻae ʻofa: ka ʻoku faingataʻa ʻae hala ʻoe kakai angahala.
16 Ɔbadwemma biara yɛ nʼadeɛ wɔ nimdeɛ mu, nanso ɔkwasea da nʼagyimisɛm adi.
ʻOku faʻa kau ki he ʻilo ʻae tangata fakapotopoto: ka ʻoku fakahā pe ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
17 Ɔsomafoɔ mumuyɛfoɔ tɔ amaneɛ mu, nanso ɔnanmusini nokwafoɔ de abodwoɔ ba.
ʻOku tō ki he kovi ʻae talafekau angakovi: ka ko e fakamoʻui ʻae talafekau ʻoku angatonu.
18 Deɛ ɔpo ntenesoɔ no kɔ ohia ne animguaseɛ mu, na deɛ ɔtie ntenesoɔ no, wɔhyɛ no animuonyam.
ʻE hoko ʻae masiva mo e mā kiate ia ʻoku ne tekeʻi ʻae akonaki: ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
19 Akɔnnɔdeɛ a nsa aka ma ɔkra ani gye, nanso nkwaseafoɔ kyiri sɛ wɔtwe wɔn ho firi bɔne ho.
ʻOku huʻamelie ki he laumālie ʻae hoko mai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tau holi ki ai: ka ko e meʻa fakalielia ki he vale ʻae tafoki mei he kovi.
20 Deɛ ɔne onyansafoɔ nante no hunu nyansa, na deɛ ɔne nkwaseafoɔ bɔ no hunu amane.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻeva fakataha mo e kakai poto ʻe poto ai ia: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai vale.
21 Ɔhaw di ɔbɔnefoɔ akyi, na nkɔsoɔ yɛ teneneeni akatua.
ʻOku tulia ʻae kau angahala ʻe he kovi: ka ʻe toe totongi ʻaki ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.
22 Onipa pa de agyapadeɛ gya ne nananom, na wɔkora ɔbɔnefoɔ ahonyadeɛ so ma ɔteneneeni.
ʻOku tuku ʻae tofiʻa ʻe he tangata angalelei ki he fānau ʻa ʻene fānau: ka ko e koloa ʻae angahala kuo tānaki maʻa e kakai angatonu.
23 Ohiani afuom nnɔbaeɛ tumi ba pii, nanso ntɛnkyea pra kɔ.
ʻOku ai ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻi he faʻa keli ʻae masiva: ka ʻoku ai ʻoku maumauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva poto.
24 Deɛ ɔkyɛe nʼabaa so no tane ne ba, na deɛ ɔdɔ no no hwɛ sɛ ɔbɛtene no.
Ko ia ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻene meʻa kinikinisi ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono foha: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻoku ne tautea ia ʻoka ʻaonga ke fai.
25 Teneneefoɔ didi ma wɔn akoma mee nanso, ɛkɔm de amumuyɛfoɔ.
ʻOku kai ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ke fakamākona hono laumālie: ka ʻe fiekaia ʻae kete ʻoe angahala.
