24 “Ko e hā kuo ʻikai fokotuʻu ai ha taimi ʻe he Māfimafi-Aoniú?+
Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai sio ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi iá ki hono ʻahó?*
2 ʻOku ʻunuaki ʻe he kakaí ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻilonga ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻapí;+
ʻOku nau kaihaʻa ʻa e fanga sipi ki heʻenau kaikaiʻangá.
3 ʻOku nau ʻave ʻa e ʻasi ʻa e fānau tamai-maté
Pea puke ʻa e pulu ʻa e uitoú ʻo maluʻi ʻaki ha nō.+
4 ʻOku nau fakamālohiʻi ʻa e masivá ke nau mavahe mei he halá;
Ko e faʻahinga ʻo e māmaní ʻoku ʻikai hanau tokoní kuo pau ke nau toitoi meiate kinautolu.+
5 ʻOku hahalu ʻa e masivá ki ha meʻakai ʻo hangē ha fanga ʻasi kaivaó+ ʻi he toafá;
ʻOku nau kumi ki ha meʻakai ʻi he toafá maʻa ʻenau fānaú.
6 Kuo pau ke nau utu-taʻu ʻi ha ngoue kehe*
Pea tufi ʻi he ngoue kālepi ʻa e fulikivanú.
7 ʻOku nau mohe telefua ʻi he poʻulí ʻo ʻikai ha vala;+
ʻOku ʻikai hanau kafu ʻi he momokó.
8 ʻOku nau pīponu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuha ʻo e moʻungá;
ʻOku nau pīkitai ki he ngaahi maká ko e ʻikai ha toitoiʻangá.
9 ʻOku hamusi ʻa e kiʻi tamasiʻi tamai-maté mei he huhu ʻo ʻene faʻeé;+
Pea ko e ngaahi kofu ʻo e masivá ʻoku ʻave ia ko ha maluʻi nō,+
10 Pea fakamālohiʻi ai kinautolu ke nau ʻalu telefua holo ʻo ʻikai ha vala,
Mo fiekaia, lolotonga ʻenau toʻo ʻa e ngaahi haʻinga uité.
11 ʻOku nau fakaongosia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi ʻā ʻo e ngoué ʻi he vela ʻo e ʻahó;*
ʻOku nau molomoloki ʻa e ngaahi tataʻoʻanga uainé, ka ʻoku nau kei fieinua pē.+
12 ʻOku hokohoko atu ʻa e toʻe ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku meimei maté ʻi he koló;
Ko e kau lavea lalahí ʻoku nau tangi ki ha tokoni,+
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke lau ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻa e meʻá ni.*
13 ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau angatuʻu ki he māmá;+
ʻOku ʻikai te nau fakatokangaʻi hono ngaahi halá,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau muimui ʻi hono ngaahi ʻalungá.
14 ʻOku tuʻu hake ʻa e tokotaha fakapoó ʻi he maʻa ʻa e ʻahó;
ʻOkú ne tāmateʻi ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai hano tokoní mo e masivá,+
Ka ʻi he poʻulí ʻokú ne fai ha kaihaʻa.
15 Ko e mata ʻo e tokotaha tonó ʻoku tatali ke mamalu ʻa e poʻulí,+
Peá ne pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai lava ke sio mai ha taha!’+
Pea ʻokú ne fakapuli hono matá.
16 ʻI he fakapoʻulí ʻoku nau hū fakamālohi* ki he ngaahi falé;
ʻI he ʻahó ʻoku nau tāpuni kinautolu ʻi loto.
Ko e kau muli kinautolu ki he māmá.+
17 He ko e pongipongí ʻoku tatau pē mo e fakapoʻulilōloó kiate kinautolu;
ʻOku nau maheni mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻo e poʻuli lōloó.
18 Ka ʻoku tafiʻi vave atu kinautolu ʻe he ngaahi vaí.*
Ko honau konga fonuá ʻe fakamalaʻiaʻi.+
ʻE ʻikai te nau toe foki ki heʻenau ngaahi ngoue kālepí.
19 ʻI he hangē ko hono toʻo atu ʻe he laʻalaʻaá mo e velá ʻa e sinou ʻoku vaiá,
20 ʻE ngalo ia ʻi heʻene faʻeé;* ʻe kai kātoanga ʻa e ʻuangá ʻiate ia.
ʻE ʻikai ke toe manatua ia.+
Pea ko e taʻemāʻoniʻoní ʻe tuʻusi ia hangē ha fuʻu ʻakaú.
21 ʻOkú ne kai ʻa e moʻui ʻa e fefine paʻá,
Pea ngaohikoviʻi ʻa e uitoú.
22 ʻE ngāueʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá hono fuʻu iví ke fakaʻauha ʻa e faʻahinga mālohí;
Neongo te nau lakalakaimonū, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakapapauʻiʻanga te nau moʻui.
23 ʻOku tuku ʻe he ʻOtuá kinautolu ke nau hoko ʻo loto-pau mo ongoʻi malu,+
24 ʻOku hakeakiʻi kinautolu ʻi ha kiʻi taimi siʻi pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau toe ʻi ai.+
ʻOku fakamāʻulaloʻi+ kinautolu pea tānaki ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha kotoa pē;
ʻOku tuʻusi kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻuluʻi uité.
25 Ko hai leva te ne fakamoʻoniʻi mai ko e tokotaha loi au
