Maika
ʻOku nau taaʻi ʻaki ha vaʻakau ʻa e fakamaau ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi hono kouʻahé.+
2 Pea ko koe, ʻe Pētelihema ʻEfalata,+
ʻA e tokotaha ʻoku siʻi fau ke kau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi toko afe* ʻo Siutá,
ʻE haʻu meiate koe maʻaku ʻa e tokotaha te ne hoko ko e pule ʻi ʻIsilelí,+
ʻA ia ko hono tupuʻangá ʻoku talu mei muʻa, mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e kuohilí.
3 Ko ia ʻe liʻaki kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá
Kae ʻoua ke aʻu ki he taimi kuo fāʻele ai ʻa e fefine ʻe fāʻelé.
Pea ko e toenga ʻo e fanga tokoua ʻo e pulé te nau foki ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí.
4 Te ne tuʻu hake ʻo tauhi ʻa e tākangá ʻi he mālohi ʻo Sihová,+
ʻI he ngeia ʻo e huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtuá.
Pea te nau nofo ʻi he malu,+
He ʻi he taimí ni ko hono mafaí ʻe aʻu ia ki he ngaahi ngatangataʻanga ʻo e māmaní.+
5 Pea te ne ʻomi ʻa e melino.+
Ka fakatūʻuta ʻa ʻAsīlia ʻi hotau fonuá pea tāmalaki hotau ngaahi taua fakakolotaú,+
Te tau fokotuʻu hake ke tuʻu kiate ia ha kau tauhi-sipi ʻe toko fitu, ʻio, ha houʻeiki* ʻe toko valu ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.
6 Te nau tauteaʻi ʻa e fonua ʻo ʻAsīliá ʻaki ʻa e heletā,+
Mo e fonua ʻo Nimiloté+ ʻi hono ngaahi matapaá.
Pea te ne fakahaofi kitautolu mei ʻAsīlia,+
ʻI heʻene fakatūʻuta ʻi hotau fonuá mo tāmalaki hotau vahefonuá.
7 Ko e toenga ʻo Sēkopé te nau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi kakai lahi
Hangē ha hahau meia Sihová,
Hangē ha ʻuha ʻoku tō ki he mohukú
ʻA ia ʻoku ʻikai ke fakafalala ki he tangatá
Pe tatali ki he ngaahi foha ʻo e tangatá.
8 Ko e toenga ʻo Sēkopé te nau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá,
ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi kakai lahi,
Hangē ko ha laione ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e fanga manu ʻo e vaotaá,
Hangē ha laione mui ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha ngaahi tākanga sipí,
ʻA ia ʻokú ne laka atu ʻo ne ʻoho atu ʻo hae ke kongokonga;
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke ne fakahaofi kinautolu.
9 ʻE hiki hake ho nimá ki ho ngaahi filí,
Pea ʻe ʻauha ʻa e kotoa ho ngaahi filí.”
10 “ʻI he ʻaho ko iá,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová,
“Te u toʻo atu hoʻo fanga hōsí mei ho lotolotongá pea fakaʻauha hoʻo ngaahi salioté.
11 Te u fakaʻauha ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻo ho fonuá
Pea holoki hifo ʻa e kotoa ho ngaahi feituʻu fakakolotaú.
12 Te u fakangata ʻa e fakalouʻakau ʻokú ke faí,*
Pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha faimana ʻe toe ʻi ho lotolotongá.+
13 Te u fakaʻauha ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻīmisi kuo tongí mo hoʻo ngaahi pou maka toputapú mei ho lotolotongá,
Pea heʻikai te ke kei punou hifo ki he ngāue ʻa ho nimá.+
14 Te u taʻaki ʻa hoʻo ngaahi pou ʻakau toputapú*+ mei ho lotolotongá
Pea fakaʻauha ʻosi ho ngaahi koló.
15 ʻI he houhaú mo e tuputāmakí te u fai ha sāuni
Ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa ia kuo ʻikai te nau talangofuá.”
