2 Ko e tokotaha te ne fakamovetevete koé kuo ʻalu atu kiate koe.*+
Maluʻi ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu fakakolotaú.
Hanganaki leʻohi ʻa e halá.
ʻAi ke mou mateuteu* pea tānaki homou iví kotoa.
2 He ʻe toe fakafoki mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e pōlepoleʻanga ʻo Sēkopé,
Fakataha mo e pōlepoleʻanga ʻo ʻIsilelí,
He ko e kau faifakaʻauhá kuo nau fakaʻauha kinautolu;+
Pea kuo nau maumauʻi honau ngaahi hulí.
3 Ko e ngaahi pā ʻa e fili ʻo Ninivé kuo fakalanu kulokula,
Ko ʻene kau pāteʻi taú ʻoku nau kofu kulokula mālohi.
Ko e ngaahi naunau ukamea ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote taú ʻoku tapa hangē ha afí
ʻI he ʻaho ʻokú ne teuteu ai ki he taú,
Pea ʻoku puke ʻe he kau tangatá ʻa e ngaahi tao naʻe ngaohi mei he siunipá.
4 ʻOku felovolovai oma ʻaupito atu ʻa e ngaahi saliote taú ʻi he ngaahi halá.
ʻOku nau felēleaki ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe fakakoló.*
ʻOku nau ngingila ʻo hangē ha ngaahi tūhulu ʻoku uló pea tapa ʻo hangē ha ʻuhilá.
5 Te ne* ui mai ʻene kau ʻōfisá.
Te nau humu ʻi heʻenau laka atú.
ʻOku nau fakavave atu ki hono ʻaá;
ʻOku nau fokotuʻu hake ʻa e ʻā maluʻí.
7 Kuo ʻosi fai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ki ai:* ʻOku fakaeʻa atu ʻa e koló ni,
ʻOku ʻave atu ia, pea ko ʻene kau kaunangá ʻoku nau toʻe;
ʻOku ongo mai honau leʻó hangē ha fanga lupé ʻi heʻenau tuki honau fatafatá.*
8 ʻI he kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi ʻahó naʻe hangē ai ʻa Ninive+ ha anovaí,
Ka ʻi he taimi ní kuo nau hola.
“Tuʻu maʻu! Tuʻu maʻu!”
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe tafoki mai.+
9 Faʻao fakamālohi ʻa e silivá, faʻao fakamālohi ʻa e koulá!
ʻOku ʻikai ha ngataʻanga ʻo e koloá.
ʻOku tuku tauhi ia fakataha mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga kehekehe.
10 ʻOku halaʻatā ha meʻa ʻi he koló, ʻoku lala, ʻoku maomaonganoa!+
Kuo vai honau lotó ʻi he ilifia, kuo mapelu honau ngaahi tuí, ʻoku tete honau alangá;
ʻOku tea mate honau matá kotoa.
11 Ko fē ʻa e ʻana ʻo e fanga laioné,+ ʻa ia ʻoku fafanga ai ʻa e fanga laione muí,
ʻA ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ki ai ʻa e laioné mo hono ʻuhikí,
ʻO ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau ilifiá?
12 Naʻe hae ʻe he laioné ʻa e monumanu feʻunga maʻa hono ʻuhikí
Pea sisina mo ha fanga monumanu maʻa ʻene fanga laione fefiné.
Naʻá ne hanganaki fakafonu ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaná ʻaki ʻa e monumanu naʻá ne poó,
Mo hono ngaahi toitoiʻangá ʻaki ʻa e fanga manu kuó ne haehaé.
13 “Vakai! ʻOku ou tuʻu kiate koe,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú,+
“Te u tutu ʻene ngaahi saliote taú kae ʻoua kuo ʻauha ʻosi,*+
Pea ʻe keina ʻe he heletaá ʻa hoʻo fanga laione muí.
Te u fakangata ʻa hoʻo pō ʻa e fanga manú mei he māmaní,
Pea ʻe ʻikai ke toe ongona+ ʻa e leʻo ʻo hoʻo kau talafekaú.”
