Selemaia
20 Pea ko Pasua ko e foha ʻo ʻĪmeli ko e taulaʻeikí, ʻa ia ko e taki foki ia ʻo e kau talafekau ʻo e fale ʻo Sihová, naʻá ne fanongo ʻi hono kikiteʻi ʻe Selemaia ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni. 2 Naʻe taaʻi leva ʻe Pasua ʻa e palōfita ko Selemaiá pea kiiʻi ia ʻi he ʻakau-kiiʻi+ naʻe ʻi he Matapā ʻOlunga ʻo Penisimaní, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová. 3 Ka ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó ʻi he taimi naʻe tuku ange ai ʻe Pasua ʻa Selemaia mei he ʻakau-kīʻí, naʻe pehē ange ʻe Selemaia kiate ia:
“Kuo fakahingoa koe ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻikai ko Pasua, ka ko Kāpui ʻe Manavahē.+ 4 He ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihová, ‘Te u ʻai koe ko ha meʻa fakamanavahē kiate koe pea mo e kotoa ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, pea te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻa honau ngaahi filí lolotonga ia ʻokú ke siosio atu pē;+ pea te u foaki ʻa Siuta kātoa ki he nima ʻo e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné, pea te ne ʻave fakamālohi kinautolu ki Pāpilone pea tāmateʻi ʻaki kinautolu ʻa e heletā.+ 5 Pea te u foaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo e tuʻumālie ʻo e koló ni, mo e kotoa ʻene ngaahi koloá, mo e kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mahuʻingá, pea mo e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi koloa ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siutá ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi filí.+ Pea te nau faʻao fakamālohi ʻenau koloá pea puke kinautolu ʻo ʻave ki Pāpilone.+ 6 Pea ko koe, Pasua, mo ia kotoa ʻoku nofo ʻi ho falé, te mou ʻalu atu ko e kau pōpula. Te ke ʻalu ki Pāpilone ʻo mate ai, pea ʻe tanu ai koe mo e kotoa ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, koeʻuhí kuó ke fai ʻa e ngaahi kikite loi kiate kinautolu.’”+
7 Kuó ke fakaʻohovaleʻi au, ʻe Sihova, pea kuó u ʻohovale.
Naʻá ke ngāueʻaki ho mālohí kiate au, pea kuó ke ikuna.+
Kuó u hoko ko e meʻa ke fakakataʻaki he ʻahó kotoa;
ʻOku manukiʻi au ʻe he tokotaha kotoa.+
8 He ʻi haʻaku fai pē ha lea, kuo pau ke u kaila pea fakahā,
“Ko e fakamālohi mo e fakaʻauha!”
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihová kuo hoko ia ko e meʻa ke taʻetokaʻi mo taukaeʻi ai au ʻi he ʻahó kotoa.+
9 Ko ia naʻá ku pehē: “Heʻikai te u toe lea ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia,
Pea heʻikai te u toe lea ʻi hono huafá.”+
Ka ʻi hoku lotó naʻe hangē ʻene folofolá ha afi vela ʻoku nofo ʻi hoku ngaahi huí;
Pea naʻá ku ongosia he feinga ke taʻofi ia ʻi lotó;
Naʻe ʻikai te u kei lava ʻo fakalongolongo ai pē.+
10 He naʻá ku fanongo ʻi he ngaahi talanoa kovi lahi;
Naʻe takatakaiʻi au ʻe he manavaheé.+
“Fakahalaiaʻi ia; tau fakahalaiaʻi ia!”
Ko e tangata kotoa pē naʻa nau talamonū mai kiate aú naʻa nau siofi pē haʻaku tō:+
“Pehē ange mai te ne fai ha fehālaaki fakavalevale,
Pea ʻe lava ke tau ikuna pea tau fai ha sāuni kiate ia.”
11 Ka naʻe ʻiate au ʻa Sihova ʻo hangē ha toʻa fakamanavaheé.+
Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻe humu pea ʻe ʻikai ke ikuna ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi aú.+
ʻE fakamaaʻi lahi kinautolu, koeʻuhí heʻikai te nau lavameʻa.
Ko honau fakahāeaʻi tuʻuloá ʻe ʻikai ke toe ngalo.+
12 Ka ko koe, ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ʻokú ke sivi ʻa e tokotaha māʻoniʻoní;
ʻOkú ke ʻafioʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau lolotó* pea mo e lotó.+
Tuku ke u sio ki hoʻo faisāuni kiate kinautolú,+
He kuó u tuku atu ʻeku meʻá kiate koe ke ke fakamāuʻi.+
13 Hiva kia Sihova! Fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova!
He kuó ne fakahaofi ʻa e tokotaha masivá mei he nima ʻo e kau faikoví.
14 Malaʻia ē ko e ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai aú!
ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻa faitāpuekina ʻa e ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻeé!+
15 Malaʻia ē ko e tangata naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e ongoongo lelei ki heʻeku tamaí, ʻo pehē:
“Kuo fanauʻi ha foha kiate koe, ko ha tamasiʻi!”
Peá ne fiefia lahi ai.
16 ʻOfa ke hoko ʻa e tangata ko iá ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe liua ʻe Sihova ʻo ʻikai haʻane fakaʻiseʻisá.
ʻOfa ke ne fanongoa ha tangi ʻi he pongipongí mo ha leʻo ʻo e fakatokanga ʻi he hoʻatā mālié.
17 Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke ne tāmateʻi ai au ʻi manavá,
Ko ia naʻe mei hoko ai ʻa ʻeku faʻeé ko hoku tanuʻanga
Pea naʻe mei ʻikai ʻaupito ke ne fāʻele?+
18 Ko e hā naʻe pau ai ke u haʻu mei manava
ʻO sio ʻi he faingataʻá mo e mamahí,
Ke fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻahó ʻi he fakamā?+
