ʻAisea
6 ʻI he taʻu naʻe mate ai ʻa Tuʻi ʻŪsaiá,+ naʻá ku mamata ai kia Sihova ʻokú ne ʻafio ʻi ha taloni māʻolunga mo mahiki hake,+ pea naʻe fonu ʻa e temipalé ʻi he ngaahi kapa ʻo hono kofú. 2 Naʻe tuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia ha kau selāfimi; naʻe kapakau ʻe ono ʻa e tokotaha taki taha. Naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he tokotaha taki taha* hono matá ʻaki ʻa e kapakau ʻe ua pea ʻufiʻufi hono vaʻé ʻaki ʻa e kapakau ʻe ua, pea ko kinautolu taki taha naʻa nau puna ʻaki ʻa e kapakau ʻe ua.
3 Pea naʻe kaila ʻa e tokotaha ko eé ki he tokotaha ko eé:
“ʻOku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau.+
ʻOku fonu ʻa e māmaní kotoa ʻi hono lāngilangí.”
4 Pea naʻe ngalulu ʻa e ngaahi kaumatapaá ʻi he ongo mai ʻa e kailá,* pea naʻe fonu ʻa e falé ʻi he kohu.+
5 Pea naʻá ku pehē: “ʻOiauē ka ko au!
Kuó u mate,*
He ko ha tangata loungutu taʻemaʻa au,
Pea ʻoku ou nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha kakai loungutu taʻemaʻa;+
He kuo sio ʻa hoku matá ni ki he Tuʻí, ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau!”
6 Ko ia naʻe puna mai ai ʻa e taha ʻo e kau selāfimí kiate au, pea naʻe ʻi hono nimá ha foʻi malala uloulo+ naʻá ne toʻo ʻaki ʻa e tongi mei he ʻōlitá.+ 7 Naʻá ne ʻai ia ki hoku ngutú peá ne pehē:
“Vakai, kuo pā eni ki ho loungutú.
Kuo toʻo hoʻo hiá,
Pea kuo ʻufiʻufi hoʻo angahalá.”
8 Pea naʻá ku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihová ʻoku folofola mai: “Ko hai te u fekauʻi atú, pea ko hai ia ʻe ʻalu maʻamautolú?”*+ Pea naʻá ku pehē ange: “Ko au eni! Fekauʻi au!”+
9 Pea naʻá ne tali mai, “ʻAlu, peá ke pehē ki he kakaí ni:
‘Te mou toutou fanongo,
Ka heʻikai te mou maʻu ha mahino,
Te mou toutou sio,
Ka heʻikai te mou maʻu ha ʻilo.’+
10 ʻAi ʻa e loto ʻo e kakaí ni ke ongonoa,+
ʻAi honau telingá ke taʻefiefanongo,+
Pea tāpuni honau matá,
Koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa nau sio ʻaki honau matá
Pea fanongo ʻaki honau telingá,
Koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa mahinoʻi ʻe honau lotó
Pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau tafoki pea fakamoʻui ai kinautolu.”+
11 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ku pehē ange: “Ko e hā hono fuoloá, ʻe Sihova?” Pea naʻá ne folofola mai:
“Kae ʻoua kuo haveki ʻo maumauʻi ʻa e ngaahi koló ʻo ʻikai ha taha ʻe nofo ai
Pea ʻikai ha kakai ʻi he ngaahi falé
Pea maumauʻi mo fakalala ʻa e fonuá;+
12 Kae ʻoua kuo ʻave ʻe Sihova ke mamaʻo ʻa e kau tangatá+
Pea hoko ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa e tuʻunga maomaonganoa ʻo e fonuá.
13 “Ka ʻe kei ʻi ai ha vahe hongofulu ʻi ai, pea ʻe tutu foki mo ia, hangē ha fuʻu ʻakaú pea hangē ha fuʻu ʻoké, ʻa ia ʻi he hili hono tā hifó ʻoku toe pē hano tefito; ko ha hako māʻoniʻoni ʻe hoko ko hono tefitó.”
