Siope
19 Naʻe tali ʻe Siope ʻo pehē:
3 Kuo tuʻo hongofulu eni hoʻomou valokiʻi* aú;
ʻO ʻikai te mou mā ʻi hoʻomou anga-fakamamahi kiate aú.+
4 Pea kapau moʻoni kuó u fai ha fehālaaki,
Ko ʻeku faihalá ʻe nofo pē mo au.
5 Kapau te mou tuʻukāivi ʻi hono ʻai kimoutolu ke mou māʻolunga ange ʻiate aú,
ʻO taukaveʻi ʻoku totonu ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻi ʻoku fai kiate aú,
6 Mou ʻiloʻi leva ko e ʻOtuá ia kuó ne takihalaʻi aú,
Pea kuó ne maʻu au ʻi heʻene kupenga tulimanú.
7 Vakai! ʻOku ou toutou kaila, ‘Ko e fakamālohi!’ Ka ʻoku ʻikai ha tali;+
ʻOku ou toutou kaila ki ha tokoni, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamaau totonu.+
8 Kuó ne tāpuni hoku halá ʻaki ha ʻā maka, pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke u fakalaka atu;
Kuó ne ʻufiʻufi hoku ngaahi ʻalungá ʻaki ʻa e fakapoʻuli.+
9 Kuó ne toʻo meiate au ʻa hoku lāngilangí
Pea ʻave ʻa e kalauní mei hoku ʻulú.
10 ʻOkú ne maumauʻi au mei he tafaʻaki kotoa kae ʻoua ke u ʻauha;
ʻOkú ne taʻaki mo e aka ʻa ʻeku ʻamanakí hangē ha fuʻu ʻakaú.
11 ʻOku kakaha ʻene ʻitá kiate au,
Pea ʻokú ne vakai kiate au ko hono fili.+
12 Ko ʻene kau taú ʻoku nau tuʻu fakataha ʻo ʻākoloʻi au,
Pea ʻoku nau ʻapitanga takatakai ki hoku tēnití.
13 Kuó ne tuli hoku fanga tokouá tonu ke mamaʻo meiate au,
Pea ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi aú kuo nau mahuʻi meiate au.+
14 ʻOku mole atu ʻa hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ofí,*
Pea ko e faʻahinga naʻá ku ʻilo leleí kuo ʻikai te nau toe manatuʻi au.+
15 ʻOku lau au ko e sola ʻe he kau fakaafe ʻi hoku falé+ mo ʻeku kau kaunangá;
Ko e muli au ʻi heʻenau vakaí.
16 ʻOku ou ui ki heʻeku sevānití, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali mai;
Ko hoku ngutú ʻoku kōlenga kiate ia ki ha manavaʻofa.
17 Ko ʻeku mānavá tonu kuo fakaliliʻa ai hoku uaifí,+
Pea ʻoku ou hoko ko ha meʻa namukū ki hoku fanga tokouá tonu.*
18 Naʻa mo e fānau īkí ʻoku nau taʻetokaʻi au;
ʻI heʻeku tuʻu haké, ʻoku nau kamata fakakataʻaki au.
19 Ko e kotoa ʻo hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ofí ʻoku nau fakaliliʻa ʻiate au,+
Pea ko e faʻahinga naʻá ku ʻofaʻí kuo nau fakafepaki kiate au.+
21 Fakahaaʻi mai ha meesi kiate au, siʻoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa, fakahaaʻi muʻa ha meesi kiate au,
He ko e nima tonu ʻo e ʻOtuá kuó ne ala kiate au.+
22 Ko e hā ʻoku mou toutou fakatangaʻi ai au ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he ʻOtuá,+
23 Kapau pē ā naʻe tohi ʻeku ngaahi leá,
Kapau pē ā naʻe lava ke hiki ʻi ha tohi!
24 Taumaiā ke tongi ia ʻi ha maka ʻo taʻengata,
ʻAki ha tutuʻu ukamea pea fakafonu ʻaki ʻa e pulu!
25 He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau ko hoku tokotaha huhuʻí*+ ʻoku moʻui;
Te ne toki haʻu ʻamui ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he māmaní.*
26 Hili ia hono fakaʻauha peheni hoku kilí,
Lolotonga ʻeku kei kakanó, te u mamata ki he ʻOtuá,
27 ʻA e tokotaha te u mātā tonú,
ʻA e tokotaha ʻe sio tonu ki ai ʻa hoku matá, ʻo ʻikai ko ha taha kehe.+
Ka ʻi loto ʻiate aú ʻoku ou ongoʻi lōmekina!*
28 He ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻemau fakatangaʻi iá?’+
He ko au ʻa e tefito ʻo e palopalemá.
