57 Kuo mole atu ʻa e tokotaha māʻoniʻoní,
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke tokanga ki ai ha taha.
Kuo ʻave* ʻa e kau tangata mateakí,+
ʻO ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻiloʻi kuo ʻave ʻa e tokotaha māʻoniʻoní
Koeʻuhí ko e* faingataʻá.
2 ʻOkú ne hū ki he fiemālie.
ʻOku nau mālōlō ʻi honau mohengá,* ʻa kinautolu kotoa ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻi he anga-tonú.
3 “Ka ko kimoutolu, mou ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi,
ʻA kimoutolu ko e fānau ʻa e fefine faimaná,
ʻA kimoutolu ko e fānau ʻa e tokotaha tonó mo e tokotaha feʻauakí:
4 Ko hai ʻoku mou fakakataʻakí?
Ko hai ʻoku fakamanga lahi ki ai homou ngutú mo mou fakateʻelelo ki aí?
ʻIkai ko e fānau kimoutolu ʻa e angahalá,
Ko e fānau ʻa e kākaá,+
5 ʻA e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tafunaki ʻenau holi pangó ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻuluʻakau lalahí,+
ʻI he lalo ʻakau tupu ʻāfaʻafa kotoa pē,+
ʻA kinautolu ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ʻa e fānaú ʻi he ngaahi teleʻá,*+
ʻI lalo ʻi he ngaahi avaʻi maká?
6 Ko e ngaahi maka molemole ʻo e teleʻá* ʻa ho ʻinasí.+
ʻIo, ko e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻa ho tofiʻá.
ʻOku aʻu ʻo ke lilingi atu ki ai ha ngaahi feilaulau inu pea ʻoatu ki ai mo ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa.+
Te u fiemālie koā ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni?
7 Naʻá ke ngaohi ho mohengá ʻi ha funga moʻunga māʻolunga mo fakatuputupulangi,+
Pea naʻá ke ʻalu hake ki ai ke ʻoatu ai hoʻo feilaulaú.+
8 Kuó ke fokotuʻu hoʻo fakaʻilonga fakamanatú ʻi he tuʻa matapaá mo e tuʻa pou matapaá.
Naʻá ke liʻaki au peá ke vete ho kofú;
Naʻá ke ʻalu hake ʻo ʻai ke ʻatā ange ho mohengá.
Peá ke fai ha fuakava mo kinautolu.
9 Naʻá ke ʻalu hifo kia Meleki* fakataha mo e lolo
Pea mo e meʻa namu-kakala lahi ʻaupito.
Naʻá ke fekauʻi atu hoʻo kau talafekaú ki he mamaʻó,
ʻO ke fakamāʻulaloʻi ai koe ʻo aʻu ki Faʻitoka.*
10 Kuó ke ongosia ʻi hoʻo muimui ʻi ho ngaahi ʻalunga lahí,
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke pehē, ‘Ko e koto taʻeʻaonga eni!’
Naʻá ke ʻilo naʻe fakaivifoʻou ai koe.
Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke tuku iá.*
11 Ko hai naʻá ke ilifia mo manavahē ki aí
ʻO ke kamata ai ke loí?+
Naʻe ʻikai te ke manatuʻi au.+
Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ho lotó ki ha meʻa ʻe taha.+
ʻIkai kuó u fakalongolongo pē peá u holomui?*+
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai haʻo manavahē ʻe taha kiate au.
12 Te u ʻai ke ʻiloa ʻa hoʻo ‘māʻoniʻoní’+ mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāué,+
Pea ʻe ʻikai hanau ʻaonga kiate koe.+
13 ʻI hoʻo tangi ki ha tokoní,
ʻE ʻikai fakahaofi koe ʻe hoʻo fokotuʻunga ʻaitolí.+
ʻE ʻave kotoa atu ia ʻe ha matangi,
Ko ha momoʻi mānava pē te ne puhiʻi atu iá,
Ka ko e tokotaha ʻoku hūfanga kiate aú te ne maʻu ʻa e fonuá
Pea te ne maʻu ʻa hoku moʻunga tapú.+
14 ʻE leaʻaki ʻo pehē, ‘Tanu hake, tanu hake ha hala! Teuteu ʻa e halá!+
Toʻo ha tūkiaʻanga pē mei he hala ʻo hoku kakaí.’”
15 He ko e folofola eni ʻa e Tokotaha Māʻolungá,
ʻA ia ʻokú ne moʻui* taʻengata+ pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa hono huafá:+
“ʻOku ou nofo ʻi he feituʻu māʻolunga mo toputapu,+
Ka ʻoku ou toe ʻi he faʻahinga kuo lōmekina mo anga-fakatōkilaló,
Ke fakamoʻui hake ʻa e laumālie ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku māʻulaló
Pea ke fakamoʻui hake ʻa e loto ʻo e faʻahinga kuo lōmekiná.+
16 Koeʻuhí ʻe ʻikai te u fakafepakiʻi kinautolu ʻo taʻengata
Pe te u ʻita maʻu ai pē;+
He ʻe hoko ʻo vaivai ʻa e laumālie ʻo ha tangata koeʻuhí ko au+
ʻO aʻu ki he ngaahi meʻamoʻui kuó u ngaohi ʻa ia ʻoku mānavá.
17 Naʻá ku ʻita ʻi heʻene faiangahala ʻo tuli ke maʻu ʻa e koloa ʻi he taʻefaitotonú,+
Ko ia naʻá ku taaʻi ia, naʻá ku fufū hoku fofongá, pea naʻá ku ʻita.
Ka naʻá ne hanganaki ʻaʻeva ko ha tokotaha fakafepaki,+ ʻo muimui ʻi he ʻalunga ʻo hono lotó.
18 Kuó u mamata ki hono ngaahi ʻalungá,
Ka te u fakamoʻui+ mo taki ia+
Pea toe fakafoki* ʻa e fiemālié kiate ia+ pea ki he faʻahinga ʻaʻana ʻoku mamahí.”+
19 “ʻOku ou fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e fakahīkihikí.*
Ko e melino hokohokó ʻe foaki ia ki he tokotaha ʻoku ʻi he mamaʻó mo e tokotaha ʻoku ofi maí,”+ ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová,
“Pea te u fakamoʻui ia.”
20 “Ka ko e kau fulikivanú ʻoku nau hangē ko e tahi hou ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nongá,
Pea ʻoku hanganaki ʻohake ʻe he tahí ʻa e limú mo e kelé.
21 ʻOku ʻikai ha nonga,” ko e folofola ia ʻa hoku ʻOtuá, “ki he kau fulikivanú.”+
