Hiva ʻa Solomone
2 “Hangē ha lile ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻakau talatalá
ʻOku pehē ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi ʻofefiné.”
3 “Hangē ko ha fuʻu ʻāpele ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻuluʻakau ʻo e vaotaá,
ʻOku pehē ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fohá.
ʻOku ou holi lahi ke tangutu ʻi hono malumalú,
Pea ko hono fuá ʻoku melie ki hoku uʻá.
4 Naʻá ne ʻomi au ki he fale ʻo e kātoanga kaí,*
Pea ko ʻene fakaʻilonga ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate aú ko e ʻofá.
5 Fakaivifoʻou ʻaki au ʻa e takaonga fuamelié;*+
Fakaivimālohiʻi ʻaki au ʻa e ʻāpelé,
He ʻoku ou puke ʻi he ʻofá.
6 Ko hono nima toʻohemá ʻoku ʻi hoku lalo ʻulú,
Pea ko hono nima toʻomataʻú ʻoku ala mai ke fāʻofua ʻiate au.+
7 ʻOku ou ʻai kimoutolu ke mou fuakava, ʻe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema,
ʻI he fanga kāseli+ mo e fanga tia fefine ʻo e vaó:
ʻOua ʻe feinga ke fafangu pe langaʻi ʻiate au ʻa e ʻofá kae ʻoua kuó u maʻu ha ongoʻi pehē.+
8 ʻOku ou fanongo ki he haʻu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá!
Vakai! Ko ena ʻokú ne haʻu,
ʻOkú ne kaka mai ʻi he ngaahi moʻungá, ʻo puna mai ʻi he ngaahi tafungofungá.
9 ʻOku hangē ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ko ha kāselí, ʻo hangē ha kiʻi tia tangatá.+
Ko ia ena, ʻokú ne tuʻu mai ʻi mui ʻi he holisi ʻo homau falé,
ʻO fakasio mai ʻi he matapā-teké,
ʻO sio mai ʻi he matapā-teke vangavangá.
10 ʻOku lea ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá, ʻokú ne pehē mai kiate au:
‘Tuʻu hake, ʻa ʻeku pele,
ʻA ʻeku tokotaha hoihoifua, haʻu ke ta ō.
11 Vakai! Kuo mahili atu ʻa e faʻahitaʻu momokó.*
Kuo ʻosi ʻa e ʻuhá pea kuo mole atu.
12 Kuo fisiki mai ʻa e matalá ʻi he fonuá,+
Kuo aʻu mai ʻa e taimi ʻo e ʻauhaní,+
Pea ʻoku ongona ʻa e hiva ʻa e kulukulú ʻi hotau fonuá.+
13 ʻOku motuʻa ʻa e fua tokamuʻa ʻo e fikí;+
ʻOku fisi ʻa e ʻulu kālepí pea ʻoku maheʻa mai ʻa hono ʻalahá.
Tuʻu hake, ʻa ʻeku pele, peá ke haʻu.
ʻA ʻeku tokotaha hoihoifua, haʻu ke ta ō.
14 ʻA siʻeku lupe, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he avaʻi maká,+
ʻI he tepuʻi maka ʻo e lilifá,
Tuku ke u sio atu kiate koe pea fanongo ki ho leʻó,+
He ʻoku mālie ho leʻó pea ʻoku matamatalelei ho fōtungá.’”+
15 “Puke mai kiate kimautolu ʻa e fanga fōkisí,
ʻA e fanga kiʻi fōkisi ʻoku nau maumauʻi ʻa e ngaahi ngoue kālepí,
He ʻoku fisi ʻa ʻemau ngaahi ngoue kālepí.”
16 “ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá pea ʻoku ʻoʻona au.+
ʻOkú ne tauhi ʻa e fanga sipí+ ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi lilé.+
