9 Ko ha fanongonongo:
“Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ko Hatelakí,
Pea ko Tāmasikusi ʻoku tāketi ki aí*+
—He ko e fofonga ʻo Sihová ʻoku ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá+
Mo e ngaahi matakali kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí—
2 Pea ki Hēmati,+ ʻa ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻo kauʻāfonua mo iá,
3 Naʻe langa ʻe Tāia maʻana hano fakatafunga kelekele.*
Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻa e silivá ʻo hangē ha efú
Pea mo e koulá ʻo hangē ko e kelekele ʻo e ngaahi halá.+
4 Vakai! ʻE ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻene ngaahi koloá,
Pea te ne taaʻi hifo ʻene kau taú ki he tahí;*+
Pea ʻe keina ia ʻe he afi.+
5 ʻE sio ki ai ʻa ʻAsikeloni peá ne ilifia;
ʻE ongoʻi mamahi lahi ʻa Kesa,
Pehē foki ki ʻEkiloni, koeʻuhí ko ʻene ʻamanakí kuo fakamaaʻi.
ʻE ʻauha ha tuʻi mei Kesa,
Pea ʻe ʻikai ke nofoʻi+ ʻa ʻAsikeloni.
7 Te u toʻo ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo pani totó mei hono ngutú
Mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalieliá mei hono vahaʻa nifó,
Pea ʻilonga ha taha ʻe toe meiate ia ʻe ʻa hotau ʻOtuá ia;
Pea te ne hoko ʻo hangē ha ʻeiki* ʻi Siutá,+
Pea ko ʻEkiloni ʻe hangē ha tokotaha Siepusí.+
8 Te u ʻapitanga takai ko ha leʻo* ki hoku falé,+
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻe laka atu ai ha taha pe foki mai ai ha taha;
Pea ʻoua naʻa toe laka atu+ ai ha taki ngāue,*
He ko eni kuó u vakai ki ai* ʻaki hoku fofongá.
9 Fiefia lahi, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione.
Kaila ʻi he ikuna, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema.
Vakai! ʻOku hāʻele mai ho tuʻí kiate koe.+
ʻOkú ne māʻoniʻoni, ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e fakamoʻui,*
ʻOkú ne anga-fakatōkilalo+ pea ʻokú ne heka ʻi ha ʻasi,
ʻI ha ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi tangata,* ko ha ʻuhiki ʻo ha ʻasi fefine.+
10 Te u ʻave ʻa e saliote taú mei ʻIfalemi
Pea mo e hōsí mei Selusalema.
Ko e kaufana ki he taú ʻe toʻo atu ia.
Pea te ne talaki ʻa e melinó ki he ngaahi puleʻangá;+
Te ne pule mei he tahi ki he tahi
11 Ko e meʻa kiate koé, ʻe fefine,* ʻi he toto ʻo e fuakava ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoʻou pea mo aú,
Te u tuku ki tuʻa ʻa hoʻo kau pōpulá mei he luo ʻoku ʻikai ha vaí.+
12 Mou foki ki he hūfangaʻangá, ʻa kimoutolu kau pōpula ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou ʻamanakí.+
ʻOku ou tala atu kiate koe ʻi he ʻahó ni,
‘Te u totongi kiate koe, ʻe fefine, ha ʻinasi lōua.+
13 He te u fusiʻi* ʻa Siuta ko ʻeku kaufaná ia.
Te u fakafonu ʻa e kaufaná ʻaki ʻa ʻIfalemi,*
Pea te u fafangu ho ngaahi fohá, ʻe Saione,
Ke tuʻu ki ho ngaahi fohá, ʻe Kalisi,
Pea te u ʻai koe ʻe Saione ke ke hangē ha heletā ʻa ha pāteʻi taú.’
14 ʻE fakahaaʻi mahino ʻe Sihova ʻokú ne kau mo hono kakaí,
Pea ko ʻene ngahaú ʻe ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ha ʻuhilá.
ʻE ifi ʻe he ʻEiki Hau ko Sihová ʻa e meʻaifí,+
Pea ʻi he hangē ko e ngaahi matangi mālohi ʻo e tongá, te ne ʻalu atu ke faitau mo e ngaahi filí.
15 ʻE maluʻi kinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau,
Pea te nau keina mo fakavaivaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi makataá.+
Te nau inu pea hoko ʻo uatau, ʻo hangē naʻa nau inu uainé;
Pea ʻe fakafonu kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e poulú,
Hangē ko e ngaahi tuliki ʻo e ʻōlitá.+
16 Ko Sihova ko honau ʻOtuá te ne fakahaofi kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko iá
ʻO hangē ha tauhi-sipi ʻokú ne fakahaofi ʻa ʻene fanga sipí;+
He te nau hangē ko e ngaahi maka koloa ʻo ha kalauni ʻoku fetapaki hifo ʻi hono kelekelé.+
17 He lahi ē ko ʻene leleí,+
Pea he lahi ē ko hono fakaʻofoʻofá!
ʻE ʻai ʻe he meʻakaí ʻa e kau talavoú ke nau mālohi,
Mo e kau fefine kei nofo anga-maʻá+ ʻe he uaine foʻoú.”
