Palōveepi
1 Ko e ngaahi palōveepi ʻa Solomone,+ ko e foha ʻo Tēvita,+ ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí:+
2 Ke ako* ai ʻa e potó+ mo e akonakí;
Ke mahinoʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e potó;
3 Ke maʻu ai ʻa e akonaki+ ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e vavanga fakaefakakaukaú,
Māʻoniʻoní,+ fakafuofua leleí,*+ mo e anga-tonú;*
4 Ke foaki ʻa e fakapotopotó+ ki he taʻetaukeí;
Ke ʻoange ki ha talavou ʻa e ʻiló mo e malava fakaefakakaukaú.+
5 Ko e tokotaha potó ʻoku fanongo peá ne tali ʻa e fakahinohino lahi ange;+
Ko e tangata mahinó ʻokú ne maʻu mai ʻa e fakahinohino pōtoʻi*+
6 Ke mahinoʻi ha palōveepi pea mo ha lea fakapuputuʻu,*
ʻA e lea ʻa e kau potó mo ʻenau ngaahi tupuʻá.+
7 Ko e manavahē* kia Sihová ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻo e ʻiló.+
Ko e kau valé pē ʻoku nau taʻetokaʻi ʻa e potó mo e akonakí.+
10 ʻE hoku foha, kapau ʻe feinga ʻa e kau angahalá ke fakataueleʻi koe, ʻoua naʻá ke loto ki ai.+
11 Kapau te nau pehē: “Haʻu ke tau ō.
Tau fakatoka ha malumu ke fai ha lingitoto.
Te tau toitoi ʻo tatali ke ʻohofi taʻeʻuhinga pē ha faʻahinga taʻehalaia.
12 Te tau folo moʻui kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e Faʻitoká,*
ʻO folofua, hangē ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luó.
13 Tau faʻao ʻenau ngaahi koloa mahuʻingá kotoa;
Te tau fakafonu hotau ngaahi falé ʻaki ʻa e koloa veté.*
15 ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻá ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu.
Taʻofi ho vaʻé mei honau halá,+
16 He ʻoku lele honau vaʻé ke faikovi;
ʻOku nau fakavave ke lingitoto.+
17 Ko e moʻoni ko e koto kulanoa ia ke folahi atu ha kupenga ʻoku siosio lelei mai ki ai ha foʻi manupuna.
18 Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku toka malumu ai ʻa e faʻahingá ni ke lingitotó;
ʻOku nau toitoi ke toʻo ʻa e moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehé.
19 Ko e ngaahi founga eni ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kumi ke maʻu ha tupu ʻi he taʻefaitotonú,
ʻA ia ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu iá+ ʻe mole ai ʻa ʻenau moʻuí.
20 ʻOku kalanga leʻo-lahi ʻa e poto moʻoní+ ʻi he halá.+
ʻOku hanganaki hiki hake hono leʻó ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe fakakoló.*+
21 ʻOkú ne kaila ʻi he tuliki* ʻo e ngaahi hala moʻumoʻuá.
ʻI he hūʻanga ʻo e ngaahi matapā ʻo e koló ʻokú ne pehē ai:+
22 “Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa hoʻomou ʻofa ʻi he taʻetaukeí ʻa kimoutolu kau taʻetaukei?
Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa hoʻomou leleiʻia ʻi he manukí ʻa kimoutolu kau manuki?
Pea ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa hoʻomou fehiʻa ʻi he ʻiló+ ʻa kimoutolu kau vale?
Pea te u huaʻi atu ʻa hoku laumālié kiate kimoutolu;
Te u ʻai ke mou ʻilo ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá.+
24 Koeʻuhí naʻá ku kaila atu, ka naʻa mou hanganaki fakataleʻi,
Naʻá ku mafao atu hoku nimá, ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokanga mai,+
25 Naʻa mou hanganaki tukunoaʻi ʻa ʻeku faleʻí kotoa
Mo siʻaki ʻa ʻeku valokí,
26 Te u kata foki ʻi hono taaʻi kimoutolu ʻe he fakatamakí;
Te u manuki ʻi he hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mou tailiili ki aí,+
27 ʻI he hoko mai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mou tailiili ki aí ʻo hangē ha matangí,
Pea aʻu atu ʻa e fakatamakí ʻo hangē ha matangi mālohí,
ʻI he hoko mai kiate kimoutolu ʻa e mamahí mo e faingataʻá.
28 ʻI he taimi ko iá te nau hanganaki ui kiate au, ka heʻikai te u fai ha tali;
Te nau vēkeveke kumi kiate au, ka heʻikai te nau maʻu au,+
29 Koeʻuhí naʻa nau fehiʻa ʻi he ʻiló,+
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fili ke manavahē kia Sihova.+
30 Naʻa nau fakataleʻi ʻa ʻeku faleʻí;
Naʻa nau taʻetokaʻi ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻeku valokí.
31 Ko ia te nau fua ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa* ʻo honau ʻalungá,+
Pea te nau fakalahi ʻenau akonaki* pē ʻanautolú.
32 He ko e talangataʻa ʻa e kau taʻetaukeí te nau mate pē ai,
Pea ko e fakataʻetaʻehohaʻa ʻa e kau valé te nau ʻauha pē ai.
