Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.
1Ko e ngaahi lea fakatātā ʻa Solomone. ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae tamai ʻe he foha ʻoku poto: ka ko e tama vale ko e fakaongosia ia ki heʻene faʻē.
2Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.
2ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala ka ʻoku fakamoʻui mei he mate ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
3The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
3ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae koloa ʻae angahala.
4The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away.
4Ko ia ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻae nima vaivai ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke masiva: ka ʻoku fakakoloaʻia ʻe he nima ʻoku faʻa ngāue.
5He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion.
5Ko e foha poto ia ʻaia ʻoku utu mai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana: ka ko ia ʻoku mohe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae ututaʻu ko e foha ia ʻoku tau mā ai.
6The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.
6ʻOku hilifaki ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ki he ʻulu ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
7The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot.
7ʻOku monūʻia ʻae fakamanatu ki he angatonu: ka ʻe popo ʻae hingoa ʻoe angahala.
8The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
8ʻE maʻu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻekinautolu ʻoku loto poto: ka ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
9He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
9ʻOku ʻalu mālohi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku femioʻaki hono ngaahi hala ʻe ʻiloa ia.
10He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
10ʻOku tupu ʻae mamahi ʻiate ia ʻoku kakamo ʻaki hono mata: pea ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
11The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
11Ko e ngutu ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni ko e matavai ʻoe moʻui: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.
12Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
12ʻOku tupu mei he fehiʻa ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae angahala kotoa pē.
13In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
13ʻOku ʻilo ʻae poto ʻi he loungutu ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻilo: ka ko e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoʻona ʻoku masiva fakakaukau.
14Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
14ʻOku tokonaki ʻe he kakai poto ʻae ʻilo: ka ʻoku ofi ʻae ngutu ʻoe vale ki he fakaʻauha.
15The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
15Ko e kolo mālohi ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae masiva ko ʻenau masiva.
16The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.
16ʻOku tautonu ki he moʻui ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e fua ʻoe kakai angakovi ki he angahala.
17The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray.
17Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tala fakapoto ʻoku ʻi he hala ki he moʻui: ka ko ia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae valoki ʻoku hē ia.
18Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish.
18Ko ia ʻoku fufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻae loungutu loi, mo ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakakoviʻi, ʻoku fakatou vale.
19In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise.
19ʻI he lahi ʻoe lea ʻoku ʻikai ke masiva ia ʻi he angahala: ka ko e poto ia ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ki hono loungutu.
20The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.
20ʻOku tatau mo e siliva lelei ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae loto ʻoe angahala.
21The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding.
21ʻOku fafangaʻi ʻae toko lahi ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku mate ʻae kakai vale koe meʻa ʻi heʻenau masiva poto.
22The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.
22Ko e tāpuaki meia Sihova, ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻomi mo ia ha mamahi.
23A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man.
23ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa vaʻinga ki he vale ʻa ʻene fai kovi: ka ʻoku ʻi he tangata faʻa fakakaukau ʻae poto.
24That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
24ʻE hoko mai pe ki he angahala ʻa ʻene manavahē: ka ʻe foaki ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne holi ki ai.
25As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
25ʻO hangē ko e mole atu ʻae ʻahiohio, ʻoku pehē ʻae angahala: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae tuʻunga taʻengata.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.
26ʻO hangē ko e vaimahi ki he nifo, mo e ʻohuafi ki he mata, ʻoku pehē ʻae fakapikopiko kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fekaua ia.
27The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
27ʻOku fakalahi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe he manavahē kia Sihova: ka ʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻoe angahala.
28The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
28Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiefia ia: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻoe angahala.
29The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
29Ko e hala ʻo Sihova ko e mālohi ia ki he angatonu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he angahala.
30The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
30ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa ueʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi māmani ʻae kakai angahala.
31The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
31ʻOku ʻomi mei he ngutu ʻoe angatonu ʻae poto: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe talangataʻa.
32The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
32ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
