3 ʻOiauē ʻa e kolo lingitotó!
ʻOku mātuʻaki fonu ia ʻi he kākā mo e kaihaʻa.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito tuku ʻa ʻene pō ʻa e monumanú!
2 ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e pākakihi ʻa e uipi mo e ngatata ʻa e ngaahi veʻeteka,
ʻOku ʻoho atu ʻa e hoosi pea ʻoku ʻuʻulu ʻa e saliote.
3 Ko e tangata heka hoosi, ko e tapa ʻa e heletā mo e fetapaki ʻa e tao,
Ko e faʻahinga tokolahi kuo tāmateʻi mo e ngaahi fokotuʻunga ʻangaʻanga
—ʻOku ʻikai lava ʻo lau ʻa e sino ʻo e kau maté.
ʻOku nau toutou humu ʻi he ngaahi sino ʻo e kau maté.
4 ʻOku hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni koeʻuhi ko e lahi ʻa e faifeʻauaki ʻa e fefine feʻauakí,
ʻA ia ʻokú ne hoihoifua mo fakaʻofoʻofá, ko ha fefine pōtoʻi faimana,
ʻOkú ne fakataueleʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá ʻaki ʻene faifeʻauakí pea mo e ngaahi fāmilí ʻaki ʻene ngaahi faimaná.
5 “Vakai! ʻOku ou tuʻu kiate koe,”* ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú,+
“Te u huke hake ʻa e konga ki lalo ʻo ho kofú ʻo fakalaka ʻi ho matá;
Te u ʻai ʻa e ngaahi kakaí ke nau mamata ki hoʻo telefuá,
Pea mo e ngaahi puleʻangá ke nau sio ki ho māʻangá.
6 Pea te u ʻai ha meʻa fakalielia kiate koe
Pea ʻai koe ke ke mā;
Te u ʻai koe ko ha meʻa ke fai ai ha fakalilifuʻia.+
7 Ko e tokotaha kotoa ʻoku sio kiate koé te ne hola meiate koe+ mo pehē,
‘Kuo fakaʻauha ʻa Ninive!
Ko hai ʻe kaungāmamahi mo iá?’
Ko fē te u maʻu mei ai ha kau fakafiemālie kiate koé?
8 ʻOkú ke lelei ange koā koe ʻi Nō-ʻāmoni,*+ ʻa ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻo ofi ʻi he ngaahi mangaʻivai ʻo e Vaitafe Nailá?+
ʻOku takatakaiʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi vai;
ʻOku maʻu ʻene koloá mei tahi pea ko hono ʻaá ko e tahí.
9 Ko ʻItiopea pea pehē ki ʻIsipite ʻa e matavai taʻefakangatangata ʻo hono mālohí.
Ko Puti+ mo e kau Līpiá ʻa ho kau tokoní.+
10 Ka naʻa mo hono ʻave fakamālohi iá;
Naʻá ne ʻalu ʻo nofo pōpula.+
Naʻe haveki foki ʻo lailai ʻa ʻene fānaú ʻi he tuliki halá kotoa.*
Naʻa nau fai ha lulu ki hono kau tangata naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻí,
Pea ko e kotoa ʻo hono kau tangata lahí kuo haʻiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa-haʻi.
11 Te ke hoko foki ʻo konā;+
Te ke ʻalu ʻo toitoi.
Te ke kumi hūfanga mei he filí.
12 Ko e kotoa ʻo ho ngaahi kolotaú ʻoku hangē ha ʻulu fiki mo hono ngaahi ʻuluaki fua kuo motuʻá;
Kapau ʻe lulu kinautolu, te nau ngangana ki he ngutu ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kai iá.
13 Vakai! Ko hoʻo kau taú ʻoku hangē ha kau fefine ʻi ho lotolotongá.
Ko e ngaahi matapā ʻi ho fonuá ʻe mātuʻaki fakaava atu ia ki ho ngaahi filí.
ʻE keina ʻe he afí ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻu ʻo ho ngaahi matapaá.
14 ʻUtu ha vai pea teuteu ki ha ʻākoloʻi!+
ʻAi ke mālohi ho ngaahi kolotaú.
ʻAlu hifo ki he pelepelá pea tāmalaki ʻa e ʻumeá;
Pea ngaohi piliki.
15 Naʻa mo e feituʻu ko iá ʻe keina ai koe ʻe ha afi.
ʻE tuʻusi hifo+ koe ʻe ha heletā.
Te ne keina koe ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he fanga heʻe īkí.+
ʻAi koe ke ke tokolahi ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe īkí!
ʻIo, ʻai koe ke ke tokolahi ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻé!
16 Kuó ke fakatokolahi hoʻo kau mēsianití ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi he ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo e langí.
ʻOku unu ʻe he kiʻi heʻé hono kilí tonu peá ne puna mamaʻo atu.
17 Ko ho kau leʻó ʻoku nau hangē ko e heʻé,
Pea ko hoʻo kau ʻōfisá ʻoku nau hangē ko ha pupunga heʻé.
ʻOku nau ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻā maká ʻi ha ʻaho momoko,
Ka ʻi he ulo mai ʻa e laʻaá, ʻoku nau puna mamaʻo atu;
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku nau ʻi aí.
18 ʻOku tulemohe ʻa hoʻo kau tauhi-sipí, ʻe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīlia;
ʻOku nofo ʻa hoʻo kau houʻeikí ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻangá.
ʻOku movete atu ho kakaí ʻi he ngaahi moʻungá,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke ne tānaki fakataha mai kinautolu.+
19 ʻOku ʻikai ha fakafiemālie ki hoʻo tuʻutāmakí.
ʻOku ʻikai malava ke faitoʻo ho kafó.
