ʻAisea
53 Ko hai ia kuo tui ki he meʻa kuo nau fanongo ai meiate kimautolú?*+
Pea ko e meʻa ki he toʻukupu ʻo Sihová,+ ko hai kuo fakahaaʻi ia ki aí?+
2 Te ne tupu hake ʻo hangē ha huli+ ʻi hono* ʻaó, hangē ha aka ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻi he fonua pakukaá.
ʻOku ʻikai te ne maʻu ha sino fakaʻofoʻofa, pe ko ha lāngilangiʻia ʻe taha;+
Pea ʻi heʻemau sio kiate iá, ʻoku ʻikai ke tohoakiʻi kimautolu kiate ia ʻe hono fōtungá.*
3 Naʻe taʻetokaʻi ia pea naʻe fakaʻehiʻehi mei ai ʻa e tangatá,+
Ko ha tangata naʻe pau ke ne mamahi* pea naʻe maheni mo e mahamahakí.
Naʻe hangē ia ne fufū ʻa hono fofongá meiate kimautolú.*
Naʻe taʻetokaʻi ia, pea naʻa mau vakai kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai hano mahuʻinga.+
Ka naʻa mau vakai kiate ia ko ha tokotaha naʻe tauteaʻi,* mo taaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá pea ngaohikoviʻi.
Naʻá ne fua ʻa e tautea ke mau maʻu ai ʻa e melinó,+
Pea koeʻuhí ko hono ngaahi laveá naʻe fakamoʻui ai kimautolu.+
6 Kuo mau hē holo kotoa ʻo hangē ha fanga sipí,+
ʻO taki taha ʻalu ʻi hono hala ʻoʻona,
Pea kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ke hilifaki kiate ia ʻa ʻemau faihalá kotoa.+
7 Naʻe lōmekina ia+ pea naʻá ne tuku atu ia ke ngaohikoviʻi,+
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne leaʻaki ha foʻi lea ʻe taha.
Naʻe ʻomi ia ʻo hangē ha sipi ke tāmateʻí,+
Hangē ha sipi fefine ʻoku fakalongomate ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kau kosí,
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne leaʻaki ha foʻi lea ʻe taha.+
8 Naʻe lōmekina ia pea naʻe ʻave ʻo ʻikai fai ha fakamaau totonu kiate ia;
Pea ko hai ia ʻe tokanga ki he ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo hono tupuʻangá?*
He naʻe tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻo e kau moʻuí;+
9 Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ha tanuʻanga* ʻi he tanuʻanga ʻo e kau fulikivanú,+
Pea fakataha mo e koloaʻiá* ʻi heʻene maté,+
Neongo naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ha hala*
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono ngutú.+
10 Ka ko e finangalo ia ʻo Sihová* ke laiki ia, peá ne fakaʻatā ia ke ne puke.
Kapau te ke ʻoatu ʻa ʻene moʻuí ko ha feilaulau halaia,+
Te ne mamata ki hono hakó, te ne fakalōloa ʻa hono ngaahi ʻahó,+
Pea fakafou ʻiate ia ʻe lavameʻa ai ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová.+
11 Koeʻuhi ko ʻene mamahí, te ne fiemālie ʻi he meʻa te ne sio ki aí.
Fakafou ʻi heʻene ʻiló, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ʻeku sevānití,+
Te ne ʻomi ha tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ki he kakai tokolahi,+
Pea te ne fua ʻa ʻenau ngaahi faihalá.+
12 ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá te u vaheʻi ai hano ʻinasi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e tokolahi,
Pea te ne vahevahe mo e kau toʻá ʻa e koloa veté,
Koeʻuhí naʻá ne lilingi atu ʻa ʻene moʻuí ʻo aʻu ki heʻene mate+
Pea naʻe lau ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau laka halá;+
Naʻá ne ʻave ʻa e angahala ʻa e kakai tokolahi,+
Pea naʻá ne fakalaloa maʻá e kau laka halá.+
