Siope
3 ʻI he hili ʻa e meʻá ni naʻe kamata ke lea ʻa Siope ʻo ne fai ha laukovi ki he ʻaho ʻo hono fanauʻí.*+ 2 Naʻe pehē ʻe Siope:
3 “Tuku ke mole atu ʻa e ʻaho hoku fanauʻí,+
Pehē ki he pō naʻe pehē ai ʻe ha taha: ‘Kuo feitamaʻi ha tama tangata!’
4 Tuku ke hoko ko e koto fakapoʻuli ʻa e ʻaho ko iá.
Ke ʻoua naʻa tokanga ki ai ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi ʻolungá;
Ke ʻoua naʻa ulo mai ki ai ʻa e māmá.
5 Tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe he fakapoʻulilōloó.*
Ke toka ki ai ha konga ʻao fakapōpōʻuli.
Ke fakamanavaheeʻi ia ʻe ha meʻa pē ʻokú ne ʻai ke fakapoʻuli ʻa e ʻahó.
6 Ko e pō ko iá—tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe he poʻulí;+
Ke ʻoua naʻa kau ia ʻi he fiefia ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e taʻú,
Pea ke ʻoua naʻa kau ia ʻi he lau ʻo e ngaahi māhiná.
7 ʻIo! Tuku ke paʻa ʻa e pō ko iá;
Ke ʻoua naʻa ongona ai ha kaikaila fiefia.
8 Tuku ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau talatukiʻi ʻa e ʻahó ke nau talatukiʻi ʻa e ʻaho ko iá,
9 Tuku hono ngaahi fetuʻu pongipongí ke hoko ʻo fakapoʻuli;
Ke kulanoa ʻene tatali ki he maama ʻo e ʻahó,
Pea ke ʻoua naʻá ne mamata ki he ngaahi huelo ʻo e mafoa ʻa e atá.
10 He naʻe ʻikai te ne tāpuni ʻa e matapā ʻo e manava ʻo ʻeku faʻeé;+
Pe fufū ʻa e faingataʻá mei hoku matá.
11 Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te u mate ai ʻi hoku fanauʻí?
Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻauha ai ʻi heʻeku hū mai mei manavá?+
12 Ko e hā naʻe tali ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻeé ʻi hono ongo tuí?
Mo fakahuhu au ʻi hono ongo huhú?
13 Pehení kuó u tokoto atu ʻo ʻikai ha fakahohaʻasi;+
ʻO u mohe pē mo mālōlō+
14 Fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo e māmaní mo honau kau faleʻí,
ʻA ia naʻa nau langa ha ngaahi feituʻu moʻonautolu kuo ʻauha he taimí ni,*
15 Pe fakataha mo e kau pilinisi* naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau koulá,
Pea naʻe fakafonu honau falé ʻaki ʻa e silivá.
16 Pe ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te u tatau ai mo ha tamatō kuo ʻikai ʻiloʻí,
Hangē ha fānau kuo teʻeki ai te nau mamata ʻi he māmá?
17 ʻI he faʻitoká naʻa mo e kau fulikivanú kuo ngata ʻenau hohaʻá;
ʻI aí ʻoku mālōlō ai ʻa e ongosiá.+
18 ʻI aí ʻoku mālōlō fakataha ai ʻa e kau pōpulá;
ʻOku ʻikai te nau ongona ʻa e leʻo ʻo e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakamālohiʻi kinautolu ke fai ʻa e ngāué.
19 ʻOku tatau pē ʻi ai ʻa e iiki mo e lalahi,+
Pea ko e tamaioʻeikí ʻoku tauʻatāina mei hono pulé.
20 Ko e hā ʻokú ne ʻoange ai ʻa e māmá ki he faingataʻaʻiá
Mo e moʻuí kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau mamahi lahí?+
21 Ko e hā ʻoku nau fakaʻamua ai ʻa e maté, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke hokó?+
ʻOku nau keli ki ai ʻo laka ange ia ʻi he keli ki he koloa fufuú,
22 ʻA e faʻahinga ʻoku lahi ʻenau fiefiá,
ʻOku nau fiefia ʻi heʻenau ʻilo ha faʻitoká.
23 Ko e hā ʻokú ne ʻoange ai ʻa e māmá ki ha tangata kuo hē,
ʻA ia kuo ʻaaʻi takai ʻe he ʻOtuá?+
25 He ko e meʻa naʻá ku manavasiʻi ki aí kuo hoko ia kiate au,
Pea ko e meʻa naʻá ku ilifia ki aí kuo tō mai ia kiate au.
26 Kuo ʻikai te u maʻu ha melino, nonga, mo ha mālōlō,
Ka ʻoku kei haʻu pē ʻa e faingataʻá.”
