2 “ʻOiauē ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau faʻufaʻu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakatupu maumaú,
ʻA ia ʻoku nau palani ʻa e koví ʻi honau ngaahi mohengá!
ʻI he maama mai ʻa e pongipongí ʻoku nau fakahoko ia,
Koeʻuhí ʻoku maʻu ʻe honau nimá+ ʻa e mālohi ke fai ia.
2 ʻOku nau holi ki he ngaahi ngoue pea faʻao ia;+
Pea pehē ki he ngaahi fale, pea nau ʻave ia;
ʻOku nau kākaaʻi ha tangata ke maʻu hono falé,+
Mo ha tangata ke maʻu hono tofiʻá.
3 Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová:
‘ʻOku ou faʻufaʻu ha fakatamaki+ ki he kakaí ni ʻa ia heʻikai te mou hao+ mei ai.*
ʻE ʻikai te mou kei ʻaʻeva ʻi he pōlepole,+ he ko ha taimi ia ʻo e fakatamaki.+
4 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá ʻe leaʻaki ʻe he kakaí ha palōveepi ʻo fekauʻaki mo kimoutolu,
Pea te nau mātuʻaki tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.+
Te nau pehē: “Kuo fakaʻauha ʻosi+ kimautolu!
Ko e tofiʻa ʻo hoku kakaí ʻokú ne foaki ki ha niʻihi kehe—kuó ne toʻo ia meiate au!+
ʻOkú ne vahe ʻemau ngaahi ngoué ki he tokotaha taʻefaitōnungá.”
5 Ko ia heʻikai te ke maʻu ha tokotaha ʻi he fakatahaʻanga ʻa Sihová ke ne falō atu ʻa e afo fuá,
Ke vahevahe ʻa e fonuá.
6 ʻOku nau malangaʻi, “Tuku ʻa e malangá!”
“ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke malangaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni;
ʻE ʻikai ke tau ongoʻi mā!”
7 Kuo leaʻaki ʻo pehē, ʻe fale ʻo Sēkope:
“Kuo hoko ʻo taʻefaʻakātaki ʻa e laumālie ʻo Sihová?
Ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue koā eni?”
ʻIkai ko ʻeku ngaahi leá tonu ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻa e lelei ki he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he anga-tonú?
8 Ka ki muí ni mai kuo tuʻu hake ʻa hoku kakaí tonu ko hoku fili.
ʻOku mou toʻo fakahāhā ʻa e meʻa-teuteu fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e* kofú
Mei he faʻahinga ʻoku laka fiemālie hake, ʻo hangē ko e faʻahinga ʻoku foki mei he taú.
9 ʻOku mou kapusi ʻa e kakai fefine ʻi hoku kakaí mei honau ngaahi fale fakaʻofoʻofá;
ʻOku mou toʻo mei heʻenau fānaú ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lelei kuó u tāpuakiʻiʻaki kinautolú ʻo taʻengata.
10 Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu, he ʻoku ʻikai ko ha feituʻu eni ke mālōlō ai.
Koeʻuhi ko e taʻemaʻá,+ ʻoku ʻi ai ha fakaʻauha, ko ha fakaʻauha fakamamahi.+
11 Kapau ʻoku ʻaʻeva ha tangata ʻi he muná mo e kākaá peá ne tala ʻa e loi ko ení:
“Te u malanga atu kiate koe ʻo fekauʻaki mo e uainé mo e inu ʻolokaholó,”
Pea te ne hoko pē ko e tokotaha malanga ʻoku lea ke fakahōhōʻiaʻi ʻa e kakaí ni!+
12 Ko e moʻoni te u fakatahatahaʻi kotoa mai koe, ʻe Sēkope;
Ko e moʻoni te u tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e toenga ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
Te u fakafāʻūtahaʻi kinautolu, hangē ha fanga sipi ʻi he lotoʻaá,
Hangē ha tākanga sipi ʻi hono kaikaiʻangá;+
ʻE longoaʻa ia ʻi he kakaí.’+
13 Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne avangi ʻa e ʻaá ʻe ʻalu ia ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinautolu;
Te nau avangi ʻo fou atu ʻi he matapaá pea hū atu ai ki tuʻa.+
ʻE ʻalu muʻomuʻa atu ʻa honau tuʻí ʻiate kinautolu,
ʻO muʻomuʻa+ ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu.”
