Guardar o coração
Guardar o coração é o mandamento mais urgente de Provérbios. Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida.
Sobre tudo, guarda o coração
O coração é a nascente de tudo — pensamentos, desejos, decisões. Guardá-lo é proteger toda a vida espiritual e emocional.
Ke ke tauhi fakamātoato ki ho loto;
he ʻoku tupu mei ai ʻae ikuʻanga ʻoe moʻui.
ʻE hoku foha, foaki mai ho loto,
pea ke tokangaʻi ʻe ho mata ʻa hoku ngaahi hala.
ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa fakangaloʻi ʻa ʻeku fono;
ka ke tauhi ʻe ho loto ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau:
He koeʻuhi ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lōloa,
mo e moʻui fuoloa, pea mo e melino.
ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻaia ʻoku lelei mei he koloa lelei ʻi hono loto; pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻaia ʻoku kovi mei he koloa kovi ʻi hono loto: he ʻoku lea ʻa hono ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoe loto.
Coração puro e renovado
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Os puros de coração verão a Deus — e o Espírito renova nosso interior.
ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakatupu ʻiate au ʻae loto maʻa;
mo ke fakafoʻou ʻiate au ha laumālie tuʻumaʻu.
"ʻOku monūʻia ʻae loto maʻa:
he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻafioʻi au, pea ke ʻiloʻi hoku loto:
ʻahiʻahiʻi au, mo ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo:
Pea ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha hala kovi ʻiate au,
pea ke tataki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.
ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au;
ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.
He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.
Naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku loto;
naʻa ke ʻaʻahi kiate au ʻi he poʻuli;
kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au,
ka ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha meʻa;
kuopau pe hoku loto ʻe ʻikai hala hoku ngutu.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻae tangata,
ʻi he folofola ʻo ho loungutu kuo u taʻofi ʻaki au mei he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe fakaʻauha.
Ke ke tokoni ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi ho ngaahi hala,
ke ʻoua naʻa hekea hoku vaʻe.
ʻOku maʻu hoku loto, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku maʻu hoku loto:
te u hiva mo ʻatu ʻae fakamālō.
Guardar com a Palavra
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A Palavra de Deus guardada no coração nos protege do pecado e nos direciona.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he māmani: ka ke mātuʻaki liliu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻo homou ʻatamai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo pau ʻae finangalo ko ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻa hono lelei, mo hono ʻaonga, mo hono haohaoa.
Ko e tohi ni ʻoe fono ke ʻoua naʻa mahuʻi ia mei ho ngutu: ka ke fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi ai: he ko ia te ke ngaohi ke monūʻia ai ho hala, pea ke toki fai fakapotopoto ai.
Kuo u kumi kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē:
ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u hē mei hoʻo ngaahi fekau.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto,
koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
Pea te ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa. Pea ko e ngaahi lea ni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻi ho loto ia:
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, "Fakatokangaʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fakapapau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻaia te mou fekau ki hoʻomou fānau kotoa pē ke tokanga pea fai ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni.
Vigilância e paz
A paz de Deus guarda nossos corações em Cristo Jesus. Chegai-vos a Deus, purificai os corações — e Ele estará convosco.
ʻOua naʻa tokanga mamahi ki ha meʻa ʻe taha; kae fakahā atu hoʻomou holi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ki he ʻOtua, ʻi he lotu mo e lotu tāumaʻu mo e fakafetaʻi. Pea ko e melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he faʻa ʻiloa, te ne maluʻi homou laumālie mo homou loto ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
ʻUnuʻunu atu ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ia kiate kimoutolu. Fakamaʻa homou nima, ʻae kau angahala; pea fakamaʻa mo homou loto, ʻae kau lotolotoua.
Ke faʻa kātaki foki ʻakimoutolu; ke fakamālohi homou loto: he ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ofi ʻae hāʻele mai ʻoe ʻEiki.
Pea kapau kuo mou toetuʻu mo Kalaisi, mou kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ki ai ʻa Kalaisi ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua.
