Siope
29 Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Siope ʻene leá* ʻo ne pehē:
2 “Pehē ange mai naʻá ku ʻi he ngaahi māhina kuo maliu atú,
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe maluʻi ai au ʻe he ʻOtuá,
3 ʻI he taimi naʻá ne ʻai ai ʻa ʻene māmá ke ulo mai ki hoku ʻulú,
ʻI he taimi naʻá ku ʻaʻeva ai ʻi he fakapoʻulí ʻaki ʻene māmá,+
4 ʻI he taimi naʻá ku ʻi hoku tuʻunga* mālohi tahá aí,
ʻI he taimi naʻe lotolotoi ai ʻa e kaumeʻa mo e ʻOtuá ʻi hoku tēnití,+
5 ʻI he taimi naʻe kei ʻiate au ai ʻa e Māfimafi-Aoniú,
ʻI he taimi naʻe takatakai ai kiate au ʻa ʻeku fānaú,*
6 ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻufiʻufi ai ʻa hoku ngaahi lakaʻangá ʻe he patá,
Pea lilingi mai ʻe he ngaahi maká ʻa e ngaahi tafenga loló.+
7 ʻI he taimi ko ia naʻá ku faʻa ʻalu ai ki he matapā ʻo e koló+
Peá u nofo ki hoku nofoʻanga ʻi he malaʻe fakakoló,*+
8 Naʻe sio kiate au ʻa e kau talavoú pea nau ʻunu ki he tafaʻakí,*
Pea naʻa mo e kau tangata taʻumotuʻá naʻa nau mālanga hake ʻo nau tuʻu ai pē.+
9 Ko e kau houʻeikí naʻa nau fakamaʻumaʻu ʻenau leá;
Naʻa nau ʻai honau nimá ki honau ngutú.
10 Naʻe sīlongo ʻa e leʻo ʻo e kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻá;
Naʻe maʻu honau ʻeleló ki honau ʻaoʻingutú.
11 Ko ha taha pē naʻe fanongo kiate au naʻá ne lea lelei fekauʻaki mo au,
Pea ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau sio kiate aú naʻa nau fai ha fakamoʻoni maʻaku.
12 He naʻá ku fakahaofi ʻa e masiva ko ia naʻe tangi ki ha tokoní,+
Fakataha mo e kiʻi tama tamai-maté pea mo ha taha pē naʻe ʻikai hano tokoní.+
13 Ko e tokotaha naʻe tei maté naʻá ne faitāpuekina au,+
Pea naʻá ku ʻai ke fiefia ʻa e loto ʻo e uitoú.+
14 Naʻá ku ʻai ʻa e māʻoniʻoní ko hoku kofú ia;
Ko ʻeku fakamaau totonú naʻe hangē ia ha pulupulu* mo ha faʻufaʻú.
15 Naʻá ku hoko ko e mata ki he kuí
Mo e vaʻe ki he heké.
16 Naʻá ku hoko ko ha tamai ki he masivá;+
Naʻá ku fakatotolo ki he fakamāuʻi ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ki aí.+
17 Naʻá ku maumauʻi ʻa e kaungao ʻo e tokotaha faihalá+
Pea naʻá ku hamusi mei hono nifó ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne maʻukoviá.
18 Naʻá ku faʻa pehē, ‘Te u mate ʻi hoku ʻapí tonu,*+
Pea ko hoku ngaahi ʻahó ʻe lahi ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻoné.
19 ʻE mafola atu hoku ngaahi aká ki he ngaahi vaí,
Pea ʻe nofo ʻa e hahaú ʻi he poó kotoa ʻi hoku ngaahi vaʻá.
20 ʻOku hokohoko fakafoʻou ʻa hoku lāngilangí,
Pea ʻe kei fana atu pē ʻa e kaufana ʻoku ʻi hoku nimá.’
21 Naʻe fanongo ʻa e kakaí mo e fakatuʻamelie,
ʻO tatali fakalongo pē ki heʻeku faleʻí.+
22 ʻI he hili ʻeku leá, naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ke nau toe leaʻaki;
Naʻe tō lelei* ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá ki honau telingá.
23 Naʻa nau tatali kiate au ʻo hangē ha tali ki ha ʻuhá;
Naʻa nau fakamanga lahi honau ngutú ʻo hangē ko e fai ki ha ʻuha ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú.+
24 ʻI he taimi naʻá ku malimali ai kiate kinautolú, naʻe faingataʻa ke nau tui ki ai;
Ko ʻeku mata fiefiá naʻá ne fakanonga kinautolú.*
