Proverbs 10

1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.

Ko 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.

2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala ka ʻoku fakamoʻui mei he mate ʻe he māʻoniʻoni.

3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

‌ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe Sihova ke fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae koloa ʻae angahala.

4 He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

Ko ia ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻae nima vaivai ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke masiva: ka ʻoku fakakoloaʻia ʻe he nima ʻoku faʻa ngāue.

5 He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.

Ko 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.

6 Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

‌ʻOku hilifaki ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ki he ʻulu ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.

7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae fakamanatu ki he angatonu: ka ʻe popo ʻae hingoa ʻoe angahala.

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

‌ʻE maʻu ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻekinautolu ʻoku loto poto: ka ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.

9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

‌ʻOku ʻalu mālohi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku femioʻaki hono ngaahi hala ʻe ʻiloa ia.

10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

‌ʻOku tupu ʻae mamahi ʻiate ia ʻoku kakamo ʻaki hono mata: pea ʻe hinga ʻae vale ʻoku faʻa lau.

11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Ko e ngutu ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni ko e matavai ʻoe moʻui: ka ʻoku tāpuni ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi ʻae ngutu ʻoe angakovi.

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

‌ʻOku tupu mei he fehiʻa ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae angahala kotoa pē.

13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod [is] for the back of him that is void of understanding.

‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻae poto ʻi he loungutu ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻilo: ka ko e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoʻona ʻoku masiva fakakaukau.

14 Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction.

‌ʻOku tokonaki ʻe he kakai poto ʻae ʻilo: ka ʻoku ofi ʻae ngutu ʻoe vale ki he fakaʻauha.

15 The rich man’s wealth [is] his strong city: the destruction of the poor [is] their poverty.

Ko e kolo mālohi ʻoe tangata koloaʻia ko ʻene koloa: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae masiva ko ʻenau masiva.

16 The labour of the righteous [tendeth] to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

‌ʻOku tautonu ki he moʻui ʻae ngāue ʻae māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e fua ʻoe kakai angakovi ki he angahala.

17 He [is in] the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tala fakapoto ʻoku ʻi he hala ki he moʻui: ka ko ia ʻoku liʻaki ʻae valoki ʻoku hē ia.

18 He that hideth hatred [with] lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, [is] a fool.

Ko ia ʻoku fufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻae loungutu loi, mo ia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakakoviʻi, ʻoku fakatou vale.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.

‌ʻI he lahi ʻoe lea ʻoku ʻikai ke masiva ia ʻi he angahala: ka ko e poto ia ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ki hono loungutu.

20 The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth.

‌ʻOku tatau mo e siliva lelei ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe angatonu: ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae loto ʻoe angahala.

21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

‌ʻOku fafangaʻi ʻae toko lahi ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku mate ʻae kakai vale koe meʻa ʻi heʻenau masiva poto.

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Ko e tāpuaki meia Sihova, ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻomi mo ia ha mamahi.

23 [It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

‌ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa vaʻinga ki he vale ʻa ʻene fai kovi: ka ʻoku ʻi he tangata faʻa fakakaukau ʻae poto.

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

‌ʻE hoko mai pe ki he angahala ʻa ʻene manavahē: ka ʻe foaki ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku ne holi ki ai.

25 As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more: ] but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation.

‌ʻO hangē ko e mole atu ʻae ʻahiohio, ʻoku pehē ʻae angahala: ka ʻoku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae tuʻunga taʻengata.

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him.

‌ʻO hangē ko e vaimahi ki he nifo, mo e ʻohuafi ki he mata, ʻoku pehē ʻae fakapikopiko kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fekaua ia.

27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

‌ʻOku fakalahi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe he manavahē kia Sihova: ka ʻe fakanounou ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻoe angahala.

28 The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiefia ia: ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae ʻamanaki ʻoe angahala.

29 The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity.

Ko e hala ʻo Sihova ko e mālohi ia ki he angatonu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he angahala.

30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

‌ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa ueʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi māmani ʻae kakai angahala.

31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

‌ʻOku ʻomi mei he ngutu ʻoe angatonu ʻae poto: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe talangataʻa.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.

‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he loungutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ka ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
