Lea Fakatātā 24
1 ʻOua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ke kau mo kinautolu.
2 He ʻoku fakakaukau ʻa honau loto ki he fakaʻauha, pea lea ʻa honau loungutu ki he fakamaveuveu.
3 Ko e meʻa ʻi he poto ʻoku langa ai ha fale; pea ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ia ʻi he faʻa fakakaukau:
4 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa ʻilo ʻe fakapito ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi koloa mahuʻinga mo lelei.
5 ʻOku mālohi ʻae tangata ʻoku poto, ʻio, ʻoku fakatupu ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻilo ʻa hono mālohi.
6 He te ke fakahoko hoʻo tau ʻi he fakakaukau poto: pea ʻi he tokolahi ʻa hono fakakaukauʻi ʻoku ai ʻae tuʻumālie.
7 ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tatae ʻae poto ʻe he vale: ʻoku ʻikai mafaʻa hono ngutu ʻi he matapā.
8 Ko ia ʻoku filioʻi ki he fai ʻo ha kovi ʻe ui ia ko e tangata pauʻu.
9 Ko e mahalo ʻae vale ko e angahala ia: pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa manuki ko e fakalielia ia ki he kakai.
10 Kapau te ke pongia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, ta ʻoku siʻi ho mālohi.
11 Kapau te ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kuo takina ki he mate, pea mo kinautolu kuo teu ke tāmateʻi;
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?
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:
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.
15 ʻE tangata angakovi, ʻoua naʻa ke toiʻi mo lamasi ʻae fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi hono nofoʻanga:
16 He ka hinga ʻae tangata angatonu ke liunga fitu, ʻoku ne toetuʻu hake: ka ʻe tō ʻae angahala ki he kovi.
17 ʻOua naʻa ke fiefia ʻoka tō hifo ho fili, pea ʻoua naʻa fiefia ho loto ʻoka tūkia ia:
18 Telia naʻa ʻafioʻi ia ʻe Sihova, pea kovi ia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne fakatafoki hono houhau meiate ia.
19 ʻOua naʻa ke kau mo e kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angahala;
20 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ha totongi lelei ki he angakovi: ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻae maama ʻae angahala.
21 ʻE hoku foha, ke ke manavahē koe kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi: pea ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto feliliuʻaki:
22 Koeʻuhi ʻe tupu fakafokifā ʻenau tuʻutāmaki; pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hona tautea fakatouʻosi?
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.
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:
25 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae monūʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku valokiʻi ia, mo e tāpuaki ʻoe lelei ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu.
26 ʻE fekita ʻae kakai ki hono loungutu ʻo ia ʻoku faʻa tali aki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
27 Ke teuteu hoʻo ngāue ʻituʻa, pea ke teuteu ia ke taau mo koe ʻae ngoue; pea ke toki langa ho fale.
28 ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi taʻehanototonu; pea ʻoua naʻa ke kākā ʻaki ho loungutu.
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.”
30 Naʻaku ʻalu atu ki he ngoue ʻae fakapikopiko, mo e ngoue vaine ʻae tangata taʻefakakaukau;
31 Pea vakai, kuo vaoa ia ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae talatalaʻāmoa, pea kuo maumau hono ʻā maka ʻo ia.
32 Naʻaku toki mamata, pea u fifili lahi ki ai: naʻaku sio ki ai, pea ne akonakiʻi au.
33 ʻIo, ʻe toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:
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.
