Whakatauki 27
1 Kei whakamanamana koe ki te ra apopo; kahore hoki koe e mohio ko te aha e puta mai i roto i te ra.
ʻOua naʻa ke polepole ki he ʻapongipongi; he ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te ke faʻa ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi ha ʻaho.
2 Ma tetahi atu tangata te whakamoemiti mou, kaua ma tou mangai ake; ma te tangata ke, kaua ma ou ngutu ake.
Tuku ke fakamālō kiate koe ʻe ha tangata kehe, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ho ngutu ʻoʻou pe; ko e taha kehe, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ho loungutu ʻoʻou.
3 He taimaha te kohatu, he taimaha ano te kirikiri; he taimaha atu ia i a raua tahi te pukuriri o te wairangi.
ʻOku mamafa ʻae maka, pea ko e meʻa mamafa mo e ʻoneʻone, ka ko e ʻita ʻae vale ʻoku mamafa hake ia ʻi ai.
4 He mea nanakia te riri, he rutaki te aritarita; ko wai ia e tu i mua i te hae?
ʻOku fakamālohi ʻae houhau, pea ko e meʻa fakalili ʻae ʻita; ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa kātakiʻi ʻae fuaʻa?
5 He pai ke te riri matanui i te aroha huna.
ʻOku lelei hake ʻae valoki ʻoku fai fakahā, ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku fakalilolilo.
6 Ko nga patu a te hoa aroha he mea na te pono: ko nga kihi ia a te hoariri auau rawa.
Ko e lavea mei he kāinga ko e angatonu ia; ka ko e ngaahi ʻuma mei ha fili ko e kākā ia.
7 E ngaruru ana te wairua makona ki te honikoma: engari ki te wairua hiakai, reka kau nga mea kawa katoa.
ʻOku fehiʻa ʻaia ʻoku mākona ki he ngeʻesi ʻoe honi; ka ʻoku huʻamelie ʻae meʻa konā kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku fiekaia.
8 Rite tonu ki te manu e atiutiu noa atu ana i tona kohanga te tangata e atiutiu noa atu ana i tona wahi.
ʻOku tatau mo e manupuna kuo hē mei hono pununga, ʻae tangata ko ia kuo hē mei hono nofoʻanga.
9 He whakahari ngakau te hinu me te whakakakara; he pera ano nga ahuareka o to te tangata hoa aroha i ahu mai i nga tikanga mateoha i whakatakotoria e tona ngakau.
ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto ʻaki ʻae lolo tākai mo e meʻa namu kakala: ʻoku pehē ʻae lelei ʻoe kāinga ki ha tangata, ko e meʻa ʻi he akonakiʻi ʻoku fai mei he loto.
10 Ko tou hoa aroha ake, a ko te hoa hoki o tou papa, kaua e whakarerea; kaua hoki e haere ki te whare o tou tuakana i te ra e mate ai koe: he pai ke hoki te hoa e tata ana i te tuakana i tawhiti.
ʻOua naʻa ke siʻaki ho kāinga ʻoʻou, pe ko e kāinga ʻo hoʻo tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ho tokoua ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo mamahi: he ʻoku lelei hake ho kaungāʻapi pe ʻoku ofi, ʻi ho tokoua ka ʻoku ne mamaʻo.
11 E taku tama, kia whakaaro nui, kia koa ai toku ngakau, kia whakahoki kupu ai hoki ahau ki te hunga e tawai ana ki ahau.
ʻE hoku foha, ke ke poto koe, pea ke fakafiefiaʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa tali ia ʻaia ʻoku manuki kiate au.
12 E kite atu ana te tangata tupato i te he, a ka huna i a ia: tena ko te kuware, haere tonu atu, mamae tonu atu.
ʻOku sio mamaʻo atu ʻae tangata fakapotopoto ki he kovi, ʻo ne fufū ia mei ai: ka ʻoku mole atu pe ʻae vale, pea tautea ia.
13 Tangohia te kakahu o te kaiwhakakapi mo te tangata ke; tona taunaha ano hoki mo ta te wahine ke.
Ke toʻo pe ʻae kofu ʻoʻona ʻoku tongia ha taha ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi, pea ke maʻu mei ai ʻae tuku paʻanga ko e langomakiʻi ʻoe fefine muli.
14 Ko te tangata e maranga ana i te atatu, he nui hoki tona reo ki te manaaki i tona hoa ka kiia tana he kanga.
Ko ia ʻoku fakamālō leʻo lahi ki hono kāinga ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake kei hengihengi, ʻe lau ia ko e fakamalaʻia kiate ia.
15 He maturuturu e puputu tonu ana i te ra nui te ua, he wahine ngangare, rite tonu raua:
Ko e tō maʻu pe ʻae ʻuha ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻuha lahi, ʻoku na tatau mo e fefine ʻoku faʻa kē.
16 Ko te tangata e mea ana ki te pehi i a ia, e mea ana ki te pehi i te hau, a ka tutaki tona ringa matau ki te hinu.
Ko ia ʻoku ne fakafufū ia ʻoku tatau mo ʻene fakafufū ʻae matangi, pē ko e meʻa nanamu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ia.
17 Ko te rino hei whakakoi mo te rino; waihoki ko te tangata ano hei whakakoi i te mata o tona hoa.
ʻOku fakamāsila ʻe he ukamea ʻae ukamea; ʻoku pehē ʻae fakalelei ʻe he tangata ʻae mata ʻo hono kāinga.
18 Ko te kaitiaki o te piki, ka kai i ona hua: ka whakahonoretia te tangata e whakaaro ana ki tona rangatira.
Ko ia ʻoku faʻa tauhi ki he ʻakau ko e fiki te ne kai ʻe ia hono fua: pea pehē foki, ko ia ʻoku tauhi ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe hakeakiʻi ia.
19 He pera i te wai, tiro atu, tiro mai he kanohi, ka pena ano to te tangata ngakau ki te tangata.
Hangē ko e sioʻata ʻae mata ki he mata ʻi he vai, ʻoku pehē ʻae loto ʻoe tangata ki he tangata.
20 Ko te reinga, ko te whakangaromanga, e kore e makona; e kore ano hoki e makona nga kanohi o te tangata. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOku ʻikai ke pito ʻa hētesi mo e fakaʻauha; pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ke fiemālie ʻae mata ʻoe tangata. (Sheol h7585)
21 Ko te oko tahu para mo te hiriwa, ko te oumu mo te koura; a, ko te whakanui i a ia, hei whakamatautau mo te tangata.
Hangē ko e kulo fakamaʻa ki he siliva mo e afi kakaha ki he koula; ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻae tangata mei hono ongoongo.
22 Ahakoa i tukua e koe te wairangi ki te tuki i roto i te kumete i waenga i nga witi pepe, e kore tona whakaarokore e riro.
Naʻa mo hoʻo fakavolu ha vale ʻi he momosiʻanga fakataha mo e uite ʻaki ʻae meʻa momosi, ʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻene vale meiate ia.
23 Kia anga nui koa kia mohio ki te ahua o au hipi, a kia pai te tiaki i au kahui kau:
Ke ke tokanga lahi ke ʻiloʻi pe ʻoku fēfē hoʻo fanga sipi, pea vakai lahi ki hoʻo fanga manu kehekehe.
24 E kore hoki te taonga e mau tonu; e mau ianei te karauna ki nga whakatupuranga katoa?
He ʻoku ʻikai tolonga maʻuaipē ʻae koloa: pea ʻoku tolonga koā ʻae tatā[fakatuʻi ]ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē?
25 Kua whaiti te hei, e kitea ana te tupu hou, a e kohikohia ana nga otaota o nga maunga.
ʻOku hā mai ʻae mohuku mōmoa, mo e musie toki tupu ʻoku hā mai ia, pea ʻoku tānaki ʻae ʻakau iiki ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga.
26 Hei mea kakahu mou nga reme, a koe nga koati hei utu mo te mara.
ʻOku ai ʻae fanga lami koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ho kofu, pea mo e fanga kosi ko e totongi ia ʻo hoʻo ngoue.
27 A tera te waiu koati, he nui noa atu hei kai mau, hei kai hoki ma tou whare, hei oranga ano hoki mo au kotiro.
Pea ʻe lahi ʻae huʻa kosi ki hoʻo kai, mo e kai ʻa hoʻo kau nofoʻanga, pea ke moʻui ai ʻa hoʻo kau kaunanga.
