Provérbios 4

1 ‌ʻAe fānau, mou fanongo ki he akonaki ʻae tamai,

pea tokanga ke ʻilo ʻae poto.

2 He ʻoku ou foaki ʻae akonaki lelei kiate kimoutolu,

pea ʻoua naʻa mou liʻaki ʻa ʻeku fono.

3 He ko e foha au ʻo ʻeku tamai,

ko e pele mo e ʻofeina taha pe au ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku faʻē.

4 Naʻa ne akonakiʻi foki au, ʻo ne pehē mai,

"Tuku ke maʻu ʻi ho loto ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea:

tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ka ke moʻui."

5 Ke ke maʻu ʻae poto,

pea maʻu mo e ʻilo:

ʻoua naʻa ngalo ia; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaholomui mei he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.

6 ‌ʻOua naʻa liʻaki ia, pea te ne fakamoʻui koe:

ke ke ʻofa kiate ia, pea te ne tauhi kiate koe.
