Sioeli
1 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko kia Sioeli* ko e foha ʻo Petuelá:
2 “Fanongo ki he meʻá ni, ʻa kimoutolu kau mātuʻá,
Pea tokanga mai, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa kakai ʻo e fonuá.*
Kuo ʻi ai ha meʻa peheni kuo hoko ʻi homou ngaahi ʻahó
Pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou fanga kuí?+
3 Tala ia ki homou ngaahi fohá,
Pea tuku ki homou ngaahi fohá ke nau tala ia ki honau ngaahi fohá,
Pea ko honau ngaahi fohá ki he toʻutangata hono hokó.
4 Ko e meʻa naʻe fakatoe ʻe he heʻe fakaʻauhá, kuo kai ia ʻe he pupunga heʻé;+
Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatoe ʻe he pupunga heʻé, kuo kai ia ʻe he heʻe taʻekapakaú;
Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatoe ʻe he heʻe taʻekapakaú, kuo kai ia ʻe he heʻe maumaú.+
5 ʻĀ hake, ʻa kimoutolu kau konā,+ pea tangi!
Tangilāulau, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa kau inu uainé,
Koeʻuhí he kuo toʻo ʻa e uaine melié mei homou ngutú.+
6 He kuo ʻalu hake ha puleʻanga ki hoku fonuá, ʻoku mālohi mo taʻefaʻalaua.+
Ko hono nifó ko e nifo ʻo ha laione+ pea ko hono kaungaó ko e kaungao ʻo ha laione.
7 Kuó ne fakaʻauha ʻa ʻeku kālepí pea ʻai ʻa ʻeku fuʻu fikí ko ha tungaʻiʻakau,
ʻO fohi kakato kinaua pea laku,
ʻO ʻikai toe ha kili ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻá.
8 Tangilāulau ʻo hangē ha fefine kei nofo anga-maʻa* ʻoku ʻai tauangaʻa
ʻI he mole ʻa e tangata mali* ʻo ʻene kei finemuí.
9 Kuo ʻikai ke toe fai ha feilaulau meʻakai*+ mo e feilaulau inu+ ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová;
Ko e kau taulaʻeikí, ʻa e kau faifatongia kia Sihová, ʻoku nau mamahi.
10 Kuo fakaʻauha ʻa e ngoué, ʻoku fakamamahi ʻa e kelekelé;+
He ko e uité kuo fakaʻauha, kuo ʻikai ke toe ha uaine foʻou, kuo ʻosi ʻa e loló.+
11 ʻOku ongoʻi mā ʻa e kau ngoué, ʻoku tangilāulau ʻa e kau tauhi ngoue kālepí,
Koeʻuhí ko e uité mo e paʻalé;
He kuo ʻauha ʻa e utu-taʻu ʻo e ngoué.
12 Kuo mōmoa ʻa e kālepí,
Kuo mate ʻa e fikí.
Ko e pomikānité, ko e pāmé, mo e ʻāpelé,
ʻA e ʻuluʻakau kotoa ʻo e ngoué kuo mōmoa;+
He kuo liliu ʻa e fiefiá ko e meʻa fakamā ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakaí.
13 Mou ʻai tauangaʻa* pea fakamamahi,* ʻa kimoutolu kau taulaʻeikí;
Tangilāulau, ʻa kimoutolu kau faifatongia ʻi he ʻōlitá.+
Mou omi pea ʻai tauangaʻa ʻi ha pō kakato, ʻa kimoutolu kau faifatongia ki hoku ʻOtuá;
He ko e feilaulau meʻakaí+ mo e feilaulau inú+ kuo taʻofi ia mei he fale ʻo homou ʻOtuá.
14 Fanongonongo* ha ʻaukai; ui ha fuʻu fakataha makehe.+
Fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻa e kau mātuʻá, mo e kakai kotoa ʻo e fonuá,
Ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtuá,+ pea tangi kia Sihova ki ha tokoni.
15 ʻOiauē koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ko iá!
He ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihová ʻoku ofi,+
Pea ʻe hoko mai ia ʻo hangē ha fakaʻauha mei he Māfimafi-Aoniú!
16 ʻIkai kuo ʻave ʻa e meʻakaí ʻi muʻa ʻi hotau matá tonu,
Pea ʻave ʻa e fiefiá mo e mavavá mei he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtuá?
17 Naʻa mo e fiki mōmoá ʻoku taʻeʻaonga.
ʻOku halaʻatā ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi feleokó.
Ko e ngaahi fale tukuʻanga koloá kuo holoki, he kuo mōmoa ʻa e uité.
18 Naʻa mo e fanga monumanú ʻoku nau toʻe!
ʻOku hē holo ʻa e fanga pulú ʻi he puputuʻu, he kuo ʻikai hanau kaikaiʻanga!
Pea ko e tākanga sipí ʻoku nau fua ʻa e tauteá.
19 Te u ui kiate koe, ʻe Sihova;+
He kuo keina ʻe he afí ʻa e ngaahi kaikaiʻanga ʻo e toafá,
Pea kuo keina ʻe ha uloʻi afi ʻa e ʻuluʻakau kotoa ʻo e ngoué.
20 Naʻa mo e fanga manu fekaí ʻoku nau fakaʻamu atu kiate koe,
Koeʻuhí kuo mōmoa ʻa e ngaahi matavaí
Pea kuo keina ʻe he afí ʻa e ngaahi kaikaiʻanga ʻo e toafá.”
