ʻAisea
29 “ʻOiauē ʻa ʻAlieli,* ʻa ʻAlieli, ko e kolo naʻe ʻapitanga ai ʻa Tēvitá!+
Ke hokohoko atu ʻi he taʻu ki he taʻu;
Tuku ke hokohoko atu ʻa hono fai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kātoanga fakataʻú.+
2 Ka te u ʻomi ha mamahi ki ʻAlieli,+
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e tengihia mo e tangilāulau,+
Pea te ne hoko kiate au ʻo hangē ko e tafuʻanga afi ʻo e ʻōlita ʻo e ʻOtuá.+
3 Te u ʻapitanga mei he tafaʻaki kotoa ke tauʻi koe,
Pea te u tō ha ngaahi pou ʻakau mata māsila ke ʻākoloʻi ʻaki koe
Pea fokotuʻu ha ʻākolo fakakolotau kiate koe.+
4 ʻE fakamāʻulaloʻi koe;
Te ke lea hake mei he kelekelé,
Pea ko e meʻa te ke leaʻakí ʻe ʻikai ke mei ongo hake koeʻuhi ko e efú.
ʻE haʻu ho leʻó mei he kelekelé+
Hangē ko e leʻo ʻo ha taula faʻahikehé,
Pea ko hoʻo ngaahi leá ʻe kiokio mai mei he efú.
5 Ko e fuʻu kakai ko ho ngaahi filí* te nau hangē ha efuefu momo īkí,+
Ko e fuʻu kakai pule kakahá te nau hangē tofu pē ko e kafukafu ʻoku vilingia atú.+
Pea ʻe hoko vave ia, ʻo fakafokifā.+
6 ʻE fakahanga atu ʻe Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau taú ʻa ʻene tokangá kiate koe
ʻAki ʻa e mana mo e mofuike mo ha fuʻu longoaʻa lahi,
ʻAki ʻa e matangi mālohi mo e taufa pea mo e ngaahi uloʻi afi ʻo ha afi faifakaʻauha.”+
7 Pea ko e fuʻu kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá kotoa ʻoku nau faitau mo ʻAlielí+
—ʻA e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau faitau mo iá,
ʻA e ngaahi taua ki he taú kuo fokotuʻu ke ʻākoloʻi ʻaki iá,
Pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻomi ha mamahi kiate iá—
Te nau hoko ʻo hangē ha misí, ha vīsone ʻi he poʻulí.
8 ʻIo, ʻe hangē tofu pē ko ha tokotaha fiekaia ʻokú ne misi ʻoku kai,
Ka ʻi heʻene ʻā haké ʻokú ne fiekaia pē,
Pea hangē ko ha tokotaha fieinua ʻokú ne misi ʻoku inu,
Ka ʻi heʻene ʻā haké ʻokú ne ongosia pē mo fieinua.
ʻE pehē ʻa ʻene hoko ki he fuʻu kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa
ʻOku faitau ki Moʻunga Saioné.+
ʻOku nau konā, ka ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei he uainé;
ʻOku nau tāsipa, ka ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei he ʻolokaholó.
10 He kuo ʻai kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ke mou mohe maʻu fakalaumālie;+
Kuó ne tāpuni homou matá, ʻa e kau palōfitá,+
Pea kuó ne fakapūlouʻi homou ʻulú, ʻa e kau mata vīsoné.+
11 Ko e vīsone kotoa pē ʻoku hoko ia ʻo hangē kiate kimoutolu ko e ngaahi lea ʻo ha tohi kuo silaʻí.+ ʻI heʻenau ʻoange ia ki ha taha ʻoku lava ke lautohí, ʻo nau pehē ange: “Lau leʻo-lahi ange muʻa eni,” te ne pehē mai: “Heʻikai te u lava, he kuo silaʻi ia.” 12 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻoange ʻa e tohí ki ha taha ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ne lautohí, ʻo nau pehē ange: “Lau ange muʻa eni,” te ne pehē mai: “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito ke u poto au he lautohí.”
13 ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova: “ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa e kakaí ni ʻaki honau ngutú
Pea ʻoku nau fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutú,+
Ka kuo hiki mamaʻo honau lotó meiate au;
Pea ko ʻenau manavahē kiate aú ʻoku makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e tangatá ʻa ia kuo akoʻi kiate kinautolú.+
14 Ko ia ai, ko au ʻa e Tokotaha ʻa ia te u toe fai ha ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ki he kakaí ni,+
ʻA e meʻa fakaofo ʻi he funga ʻo e meʻa fakaofo;
Pea ko e poto ʻo ʻenau kau tangata potó ʻe ʻauha,
Pea ko e mahino ʻa ʻenau kau tangata fakapotopotó ʻe fufū ia.”+
15 ʻOiauē ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau feinga lahi ke fūfuuʻi ʻenau ngaahi palaní* meia Sihová.+
Ko ʻenau ngaahi ngāué ʻoku fai ia ʻi ha potu fakapoʻuli,
Lolotonga ia ʻoku nau pehē: “Ko hai ʻoku sio maí?
Ko hai ia ʻokú ne ʻilo ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo kitautolu?”+
16 He mioʻi ē ʻe kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻá!*
ʻE lau koā ʻoku tatau pē ʻa e tokotaha tufunga-ʻumeá mo e ʻumeá?+
ʻE pehē koā ʻe he meʻa kuo ngaohí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tokotaha naʻá ne ngaohi iá:
“Naʻe ʻikai te ne ngaohi au”?+
Pea ʻoku pehē koā ʻe he meʻa kuo faʻú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tokotaha naʻá ne faʻu iá:
“ʻOku ʻikai te ne mahinoʻi ha meʻa”?+
17 ʻOku toe siʻi pē pea ʻe hoko ʻa Lepanoni ko ha ngoue fuaʻiʻakau,+
Pea ʻe lau ʻa e ngoue fuaʻiʻakaú ko ha vaotā.+
18 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá ʻe fanongo ʻa e tulí ki he ngaahi lea ʻo e tohí,
Pea ʻe sio ʻa e mata ʻo e kuí ʻi he fakapoʻulí mo e kaupōʻulí.+
19 Ko e kau anga-vaivaí te nau fiefia lahi ʻia Sihova,
Pea ko e kau masiva ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e tangatá te nau mavava ʻi he Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
20 He ko e tokotaha pule kakahá ʻe ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai,
Ko e tokotaha pōlepolé ʻe mole atu ia,
Pea ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau hanganaki lama ke fai ha koví ʻe fakaʻauha,+
21 ʻA e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻai ke halaia ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻaki ha lea loí,
ʻOku nau fakatoka ha tauhele ki he tokotaha taukapó* ʻi he matapā ʻo e koló,+
Pea ʻi heʻenau fai ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻuhinga halá ʻoku nau taʻofi ai ʻa hono fai ʻa e fakamaau totonú ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoní.+
22 Ko ia ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova, ʻa ia naʻá ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé,+ ki he fale ʻo Sēkopé:
23 He ʻi heʻene sio ki heʻene fānaú,
ʻA ia ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nimá, ʻi hono lotolotongá,+
Te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku huafá;
ʻIo, te nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa e Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sēkopé,
Pea te nau manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí.+
24 Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ha laumālie talangataʻá te nau maʻu ʻa e mahinó,
Pea ko e faʻahinga ʻoku lāungá te nau tali ʻa e fakahinohinó.”
