How to say "Deliberately" in Japanese

When translating "deliberately" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between わざと and 指鹿為馬. In Japanese, わざと (わざと (wazato)) is typically associated with "deliberately; intentionally; on purpose" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to doing something deliberately or intentionally, as opposed to doing it accidentally. Often used as わざと間違える or わざと負ける. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'Deliberately/on purpose! "You deliberately accepted my hug, didn't you? Your blushing dere face is the cutest in the world!" ...っ! Deliberately accepting! B-Baka! No... it wasn't on purpose, my hands were just cold so I wanted them warmed! But, since I actually love being embraced by you, make sure you keep deliberately embracing me for life! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『わざと（わざと）よ！『ハルカ部長、僕のハグを受け入れたのは、わざと（意識的）ですよね？恥ずかしそうなデレ顔が世界一可愛いです！』って…っ！わざと受け入れた！バカ！/// 違っ…！わざとじゃなくて、手が冷たかったから暖めてもらおうと…っ！でも、あんたに抱きしめられるの、本当は大好きだから、一生わざと抱きしめられ続けなさい！』. On the other hand, 指鹿為馬 (しろくいば (shirokuiba)) maps to "Deliberately misrepresenting something" (Syllabus Level: C2) and represents Essential structural term in CEFR C2 vocabulary syllabus.. A literal translation of "deliberately" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
