2 Tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekaú pea te ke moʻui;+
Maluʻi ʻa ʻeku fakahinohinó* ʻo hangē ko e tamaʻimata ʻo ho matá.
4 Ke ke pehē kia poto, “Ko hoku tuofefiné koe,”
Pea ui ʻa mahino, “ko hoku kāinga,”
5 Ke maluʻi ai koe mei he fefine tōʻonga fakalieliá,*+
Mei he fefine ʻulungaanga taʻetāú* mo ʻene ngaahi lea momole-ʻolungá.*+
6 Mei he matapā-teke ʻo hoku falé,
ʻI hoku matapā-teke vangavangá, naʻá ku sio hifo ai,
7 Pea ʻi heʻeku siofi ʻa e faʻahinga taʻefakapotopotó,*
Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e toʻutupú ha talavou ʻoku ʻikai ke fakakaukau lelei.*+
8 Naʻá ne lue atu ʻi he halá ʻo ofi ki he tuliki ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fefiné,
Pea naʻá ne laka atu ʻi he hala ki hono falé
9 ʻI he mamalu ʻa e poʻulí, ʻi he efiafí,+
ʻI he fakaofi mai ʻa e poʻulí mo e fakapoʻulí.
10 Pea naʻá ku sio ki ha fefine ʻoku fakafetaulaki atu kiate ia,
Naʻá ne tui ha vala hangē ha* fefine feʻauakí,+ pea ʻokú ne loto-kākā.
11 ʻOkú ne longoaʻa mo loto-fefeka.+
ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito te ne nofo* ʻi ʻapi.
12 ʻOhovale pē ʻokú ne ʻi tuʻa, tuai-e-kemo ʻokú ne ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe fakakoló,*
ʻOkú ne tuku toi ʻo ofi ki he tuliki kotoa pē.+
13 ʻOkú ne pukeʻi mai ia ʻo ne ʻuma ki ai;
ʻI he mata-fefeka, ʻokú ne pehē ange kiate ia:
14 “Naʻe pau ke u fai ha ngaahi feilaulau feʻinasiʻaki.+
ʻI he ʻaho ní naʻá ku fakahoko ai ʻeku ngaahi fuakavá.
15 Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻá ku haʻu ai ke fakafetaulaki atu kiate koé,
Ke kumi koe, pea kuó u maʻu koe!
16 Kuó u folahi ʻa e ngaahi ʻufiʻufi fakaʻofoʻofa ʻi hoku mohengá,
Ko e līneni lanu kehekehe mei ʻIsipite.+
17 Kuó u afuhi ʻaki hoku mohengá ʻa e mula, ʻaloe,* pea mo e sinamoni.+
18 Haʻu angé ke ta inu ʻo fakafonuʻaki kitaua ʻa e ʻofá ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongí;
Tuku ke ta fiefia fakataha ʻi he ʻofa māfana,
19 He ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ʻapi ʻa hoku husepānití;
Kuó ne ʻalu ʻi ha fononga mamaʻo.
20 Naʻá ne ʻalu mo ha kato paʻanga,
Pea heʻikai te ne foki mai kae ʻoua kuo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo e māhina kātoá.”
21 ʻOkú ne takihalaʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e fakalotoʻi lahi.+
ʻOkú ne fakataueleʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e lea momole-ʻolunga.
22 Fakafokifā pē ʻokú ne muimui ʻiate ia, hangē ha pulu ke tāmateʻí,
Hangē ha vale ke tautea ʻi he ʻakau-kīʻí,*+
23 Kae ʻoua kuo tuiʻi ʻe ha ngahau ʻa hono ʻaté;
Hangē ha foʻi manupuna ʻoku fakavave atu ki ha tauhelé, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻe mole ai ʻa ʻene moʻuí.+
24 Pea ko eni, ʻe hoku ngaahi foha, fanongo mai kiate au;
Tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻoku ou leaʻakí.
25 ʻOua naʻa tuku ke afe ho lotó ki hono ngaahi ʻalungá.
ʻOua naʻá ke hē atu ki hono ngaahi halá,+
26 He kuó ne fakatupunga ke mate ʻa e tokolahi,+
Pea ʻoku tokolahi fau ʻa e faʻahinga kuó ne tāmateʻí.+
27 Ko hono falé ʻoku iku atu ai ki he Faʻitoká;*
ʻOku ʻalu hifo ai ki he ngaahi loki ʻo maté.
