Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness 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 profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
2ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala ka ʻoku fakamoʻui mei he mate ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.
3The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
3ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae koloa ʻae angahala.
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
4Ko ia ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻae nima vaivai ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke masiva: ka ʻoku fakakoloaʻia ʻe he nima ʻoku faʻa ngāue.
5He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
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.
6Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence 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 blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
7ʻOku monūʻia ʻae fakamanatu ki he angatonu: ka ʻe popo ʻae hingoa ʻoe angahala.
8The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
8ʻE maʻu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻekinautolu ʻoku loto poto: ka ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
9He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
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 causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
10ʻOku tupu ʻae mamahi ʻiate ia ʻoku kakamo ʻaki hono mata: pea ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.
11The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
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: but love covereth all sins.
12ʻOku tupu mei he fehiʻa ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae angahala kotoa pē.
13In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
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 foolish is near destruction.
14ʻOku tokonaki ʻe he kakai poto ʻae ʻilo: ka ʻoku ofi ʻae ngutu ʻoe vale ki he fakaʻauha.
15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction 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 labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
16ʻOku tautonu ki he moʻui ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e fua ʻoe kakai angakovi ki he angahala.
17He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
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.
18He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
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 wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is 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: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
20ʻOku tatau mo e siliva lelei ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae loto ʻoe angahala.
21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
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 , it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
22Ko e tāpuaki meia Sihova, ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻomi mo ia ha mamahi.
23It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
23ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa vaʻinga ki he vale ʻa ʻene fai kovi: ka ʻoku ʻi he tangata faʻa fakakaukau ʻae poto.
24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
24ʻE hoko mai pe ki he angahala ʻa ʻene manavahē: ka ʻe foaki ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne holi ki ai.
25As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is 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 as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send 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 prolongeth days: but 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 hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
28Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiefia ia: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻoe angahala.
29The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
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 righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit 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 bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
31ʻOku ʻomi mei he ngutu ʻoe angatonu ʻae poto: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe talangataʻa.
32The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
32ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
