Selemaia
9 Taumaiā ko ha vai ʻa hoku ʻulú,
Pea ko ha matavai ʻo e loʻimata ʻa hoku ongo matá!+
Ka u tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō
Maʻá e faʻahinga kuo tāmateʻi ʻi hoku kakaí.
2 Taumaiā naʻá ku maʻu ha fale talifononga ʻi he toafá!
Pea te u liʻaki ʻa hoku kakaí peá u mavahe meiate kinautolu,
He ko e kau tono+ kotoa kinautolu,
Ko ha fuʻufuʻunga kakai kākā.
3 ʻOku nau peluki honau ʻeleló ʻo hangē ha kaufaná;
Ko e loí, ʻo ʻikai ko e totonú ʻoku failahia ʻi he fonuá.+
“ʻOku nau fakaʻau mei he kovi ki he kovi,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga mai kiate au,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
4 “ʻA e tokotaha kotoa, tokanga telia ho kaungāʻapí,
Pea ʻoua te mou falala ʻo tatau ai pē kapau ko homou tokoua.
He ko ha taha pē ko homou tokoua ko ha tokotaha lavaki ia,+
Pea ko e kaungāʻapi kotoa pē ko ha tokotaha laukovi loi.+
5 ʻOku kākaaʻi ʻe he tokotaha taki taha ʻa hono kaungāʻapí,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe lea moʻoni.
Kuo nau akoʻi honau ʻeleló ke lea loi.+
ʻOku nau fakaongosiaʻi kinautolu ʻi hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku halá.
6 ʻOkú ke nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kākaá.
ʻI heʻenau kākaá naʻa nau fakafisi ai ke ʻiloʻi au,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
7 Ko ia ai ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau:
“Te u haka pea sivi kinautolu,+
He ko e hā ha toe meʻa ʻe lava ke u fai ki he ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakaí?
8 Ko honau ʻeleló ko ha ngahau fakatupu mate ʻokú ne leaʻaki ʻa e kākā.
ʻOku leaʻaki ʻe ha taha ʻi hono ngutú ʻa e ngaahi lea melino ki hono kaungāʻapí,
Ka ʻi hono lotó ʻokú ne fakatoka mei ai ha malumu.”
9 “ʻIkai te u kounaʻi kinautolu ke nau fai ha fakamatala ki he ngaahi meʻá ni?” Ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
“ʻIkai te u fai ha sāuni ki ha puleʻanga pehē?+
10 Te u tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi moʻungá
Pea te u hivaʻaki ha taʻanga tangi* koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kaikaiʻanga ʻo e toafá,
He kuo nau vela ʻo ʻosi ʻo ʻikai ha tangata ʻe fou atu ai,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ongona ʻa e leʻo ʻo e fanga manú.
Ko e fanga manupuna ʻo e langí mo e fanga manú kuo nau hola; kuo nau ʻalu.+
11 Te u ʻai ʻa Selusalema ko ha ngaahi fokotuʻunga maka,+ ko e nofoʻanga ʻo e fanga siakalí,+
Pea te u ʻai ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siutá ke maomaonganoa, ʻo ʻikai ha taha ʻe nofo ai.+
12 Ko hai ia ʻoku poto feʻunga ke ne mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻá ni?
Ko hai kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihová, ke ne fakahaaʻi atu ʻa e meʻá ni?
Ko e hā kuo ʻauha ai ʻa e fonuá?
Ko e hā kuo pakupaku ai ia ʻo hangē ko e toafá,
ʻO ʻikai ha taha ʻe fou atu aí?”
13 Naʻe tali mai ʻe Sihova: “Koeʻuhí ko ʻenau siʻaki ʻa ʻeku laó* ʻa ia naʻá ku fokotuʻu ʻi honau ʻaó, pea koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai te nau muimui ki ai mo talangofua ki hoku leʻó. 14 ʻI hono kehé, naʻa nau muimui anga-fefeka ʻi honau lotó,+ pea nau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻīmisi Pēalí, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe akoʻi ange ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamaí ke nau faí.+ 15 Ko ia ai ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ‘Ko eni ʻoku ou ʻai ʻa e kakaí ni ke nau kai ʻa e ʻakau ifo kona, pea te u ʻai kinautolu ke nau inu ʻa e vai ʻoku kona.+ 16 Te u fakamovete atu kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa ia kuo ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi mo ʻenau ngaahi tamaí,+ pea te u tuku atu ha heletā ke tulimui kiate kinautolu kae ʻoua kuó u fakaʻauha ʻosi kinautolu.’+
17 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau,
‘ʻAi ke mou maʻu ʻa e mahinó.
Ui mai ʻa e kau fefine ʻoku nau hivaʻi ʻa e ngaahi taʻanga tangí,*+
Pea fai ha fekau ki he kau fefine taukeí ke nau haʻu,
18 Koeʻuhí ke nau fakavave mai ʻo fai ha tangilāulau maʻatautolu,
Kae tafe hifo ʻa e loʻimatá mei hotau matá
Pea malingi hifo mei hotau laumatá ʻa e vaí.+
19 He kuo ongona mei Saione+ ʻa e leʻo ʻo e tangilāulau:
“Kuo tau ʻauha!
He fakamā lahi ē ka ko kitautolu!
He kuo tau liʻaki ʻa e fonuá, pea kuo nau holoki hotau ngaahi ʻapí.”+
20 ʻA kimoutolu kau fefine, mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihová.
Fakatauange ke tali ʻe homou telingá ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne folofola mai ʻakí.
Akoʻi ki hoʻomou fānau fefiné ʻa e tangilāulaú ni,
Pea ke akoʻi ʻe he tokotaha ko ē ki he tokotaha ko ē ʻa e taʻanga tangí ni.*+
21 He kuo hū mai ʻa mate ʻi hotau ngaahi matapā-teké;
Kuo hū mai ia ki hotau ngaahi taua fakakolotaú
Ke ʻave ʻa e fānaú mei he ngaahi halá
22 Lea ʻo pehē: ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihová:
“Ko e ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻo e kakaí te nau tō ʻo hangē ha kinohaʻa ʻi he fukahi kelekelé,
ʻO hangē ha ʻotu uite naʻe toki tuʻusi ʻe he tokotaha tuʻusí,
ʻO ʻikai ha taha ke ne tānaki ia.”’”+
23 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová:
“Tuku ke ʻoua naʻa pōlepole ʻa e tangata potó ʻi hono potó;+
Tuku ke ʻoua naʻa pōlepole ʻa e tangata mālohí ʻi hono mālohí;
Pea tuku ke ʻoua naʻa pōlepole ʻa e tangata koloaʻiá ʻi heʻene koloá.”+
24 “Kae tuku ke pōlepole ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku pōlepolé ʻi he meʻá ni:
ʻA ʻene maʻu ʻa e vavanga fakaefakakaukau mo e ʻilo kiate aú,+
ʻA ʻene ʻiloʻi ko au Sihova, ʻa e Tokotaha ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e ʻofa mateaki, fakamaau totonu, mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻi he māmaní,+
He ko e ngaahi meʻa eni ʻoku ou leleiʻia aí,”+ ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
25 “Vakai! ʻOku haʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová, “pea te u kounaʻi ai ʻa e tokotaha kotoa ʻoku kamu pē ʻi he sinó ke ne fai ha fakamatala,+ 26 ʻa ʻIsipite+ mo Siuta+ mo ʻĪtomi+ pea mo e kau ʻĀmoní+ mo Mōape+ pea mo e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga kuo tele ʻa e fulufulu ʻi honau manifí ʻa ia ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he toafá;+ he ko e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá ʻoku nau taʻekamu, pea ko e kotoa ʻa e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻoku ʻikai ke kamu honau lotó.+
