ʻAisea
44 “Ko eni ke ke fanongo, ʻe Sēkope ko ʻeku sevānití,
Pea mo koe, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻa ia kuó u filí.+
2 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová,
ʻA ho Tokotaha-Ngaohí mo e Tokotaha naʻá ne faʻu koé,+
ʻA ia naʻá ne tokoniʻi koe talu mei manavá:*
3 He te u lilingi atu ha vai ke inu ʻe he tokotaha fieinuá*+
Pea mo e vai ke tafe atu ʻi he kelekele mōmoá.
5 ʻE pehē ʻe ha tokotaha: “ʻOku ou kau kia Sihova.”+
ʻE ui ʻe ha tokotaha ʻa ia tonu ʻaki ʻa e hingoa ʻo Sēkopé,
Pea ʻe hiki ʻe ha toe tokotaha ʻi hono nimá: “ʻOku ʻa Sihova au.”
Pea te ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e hingoa ʻo ʻIsilelí.’
6 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihová,
Ko e Tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli+ pea ko hono Tokotaha-Huhuʻí,+ ʻa Sihova ʻo e ngaahi kau tau:
‘Ko au ʻa e kamataʻangá pea ko au ʻa e ngataʻangá.+
ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ka ko au pē.+
7 Ko hai ha taha ʻe tatau mo au?+
Tuku ke ne lea mo tala mai mo fakamoʻoniʻi mai ia kiate au!+
Mei he taimi naʻá ku fokotuʻu ai ʻa e kakaí ʻi he kuohilí,
Tuku ke nau tala fakatouʻosi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko maí
Mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻe toki hokó.
ʻIkai naʻá ku tala ki muʻa ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolu pea fanongonongo ia?
Ko kimoutolu ʻa ʻeku kau fakamoʻoní.+
ʻOku toe ʻi ai ha ʻOtua tuku kehe au?
ʻIkai, ʻoku ʻikai ha toe Makatuʻu kehe;+ ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ha taha.’”
9 Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku nau faʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻīmisi kuo tongí ko e koto taʻeʻaonga pē kinautolu,
Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau koloaʻakí ʻe ʻikai hano ʻaonga.+
ʻI he tuʻunga ko ʻenau kau fakamoʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai te nau* sio ki ha meʻa mo ʻilo ha meʻa,+
Ko ia ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau ngaohi kinautolú ʻe fakamaaʻi.+
11 Vakai! ʻE fakamaaʻi ʻa hono ngaahi takangá kotoa!+
Ko e kau nima-meaʻá ko e kau tangata pē kinautolu.
Tuku ke nau fakatahataha kotoa pea ke nau tuʻu.
Te nau manavahē pea ʻe fakamaaʻi kotoa kinautolu.
12 Ko e tokotaha tuki ukameá ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e ukameá ki he malalá ʻaki ʻene meʻangāué.*
ʻOkú ne fakafuo ia ʻaki ʻa e hāmalá,
ʻO ne fai ha ngāue ki ai ʻaki hono nima mālohí.+
Pea ʻokú ne fiekaia pea ʻosi ai ʻa hono iví;
ʻOku ʻikai te ne inu ha vai pea ʻokú ne helaʻia.
13 Ko e tokotaha tā-tongitongí ʻokú ne falō ʻa e afo fuá, ʻo ne fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e sīpingá ʻaki ha sioka kulokula.
ʻOkú ne ngāueʻaki ki ai ha tele papa ʻo ne fakaʻilongaʻi ia ʻaki ha kāpasa.
ʻOkú ne fakasīpinga ia ki he ʻīmisi ʻo ha tangata,+
Ki he fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo ha tangata,
14 ʻOku ʻi ai ha tokotaha ko ʻene ngāué ke tā hifo ha ʻulu sita.
ʻOkú ne fili ha faʻahinga ʻo e ʻakaú, ko e ʻoke,
Peá ne tuku ia ke tupu ʻāfaʻafa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻuluʻakau ʻo e vaotaá.+
ʻOkú ne tō ha fuʻu ʻakau,* pea ʻoku ʻai ia ʻe he ʻuhá ke tupu.
15 Pea ʻoku hoko ia ko ha fefie maʻá e tangatá ke tafuʻaki ha afi.
ʻOkú ne toʻo hano konga ke fakamāfanaʻi ʻaki ia;
ʻOkú ne tafuʻaki ha afi pea taʻo ai ha mā.
Ka ʻokú ne toe ngaohiʻaki foki ha ʻotua pea lotu ki ai.
ʻOkú ne ngaohiʻaki ia ha ʻīmisi kuo tongi, peá ne punou hifo ki ai.+
16 ʻOkú ne tafuʻaki hano vaeua ha afi;
Pea ko e vaeua ko iá ʻokú ne tunu ai ʻa e kakanoʻi-manu ke ne kai, pea ʻokú ne mākona ai.
ʻOkú ne toe fakamāfana foki ai ʻo ne pehē:
“ʻOi! ʻOku ou māfana ʻi heʻeku sio ki he afí.”
17 Ka ko e toenga ʻo iá ʻokú ne ngaohiʻaki ia ha ʻotua, ko ʻene ʻīmisi kuo tongi.
ʻOkú ne punou hifo ki ai pea lotu ki ai.
ʻOkú ne lotu ki ai mo pehē:
“Fakahaofi au, he ko koe ʻa hoku ʻotuá.”+
18 ʻOku ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ke mahino kiate kinautolu ha meʻa,+
Koeʻuhi he kuo tāpuni maʻu honau matá pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nau sio,
Pea ko honau lotó ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha ʻiloʻilo.
19 ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakakaukau ʻi hono lotó
Pe ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e ʻilo pe mahino ke ne pehē:
“Ko hano vaeua naʻá ku tafuʻaki ha afi,
Pea ko hono malalá naʻá ku taʻo ai ʻa e mā pea tunu ai ʻa e kakanoʻi-manu ke u kai.
ʻOku totonu leva ke u ngaohiʻaki ʻa e toengá ha meʻa fakalielia?+
ʻOku totonu ke u lotu ki ha kupuʻi ʻakau?”*
20 ʻOkú ne kai ʻa e efuefu.
Ko hono loto kuo kākāʻí kuó ne takiheeʻi ia.
ʻOku ʻikai malava ke ne fakahaofi ʻa ia tonu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ne pehē:
“ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi ai ha loi ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻú?”
21 “Manatu ki he ngaahi meʻá ni, ʻe Sēkope, pea mo koe, ʻe ʻIsileli,
He ko koe ʻa ʻeku sevānití.
Naʻá ku faʻu koe, pea ko koe ʻa ʻeku sevānití.+
ʻE ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai te ke ngalo ʻiate au.+
22 Te u tāmateʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi laka halá ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻufiʻufiʻaki ha konga ʻaó+
Mo hoʻo ngaahi angahalá ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻufiʻufiʻaki ha konga ʻao matolú.
Foki mai kiate au, he te u huhuʻi koe.+
23 Kalanga ʻi he fiefia, ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi langí,
He kuo fai ʻe Sihova ha ngāue!
Kalanga ʻi he ikuna, ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu māʻulalo ʻo e māmaní!
Kalanga ʻi he fiefia, ʻa kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi moʻungá,+
ʻA koe vaotā, mo e kotoa ʻo ho ʻuluʻakaú!
He kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sēkope,
Pea ʻokú ne fakahāhā ʻa hono ngeiá ʻi ʻIsileli.”+
24 Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova, ko ho Tokotaha-Huhuʻí,+
ʻA ia naʻá ne faʻu koe talu mei hoʻo ʻi manavá:
“Ko au Sihova, naʻá ku ngaohi ʻa e meʻa kotoa.
Ko hai naʻe kau mo aú?
25 ʻOku ou veuki ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻa e kau talanoa launoá,*
Pea ko au ʻa e Tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻai ke hangē ha seselé ʻa e kau vavaló;+
ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne ʻai ke puputuʻu ʻa e kau tangata potó
Pea liliu ʻenau ʻiló ke hoko ko e koto sesele;+
26 ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne ʻai ke hoko moʻoni ʻa e lea ʻa ʻene sevānití
Pea fakahoko kakato ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe heʻene kau talafekaú;+
ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne pehē ʻo fekauʻaki mo Selusalema, ‘ʻE nofoʻi ia,’+
Pea fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siutá, ‘ʻE toe langa ia,+
Pea te u toe fokotuʻu ʻa hono ngaahi maumaú’;+
27 ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne pehē ki he ngaahi vai lolotó, ‘Ke ke mōmoa,
Pea te u fakamātuʻu ʻa ho ngaahi vaitafé kotoa’;+
28 ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne pehē fekauʻaki mo Kōlesi,+ ‘Ko ʻeku tauhi-sipi ia,
Pea te ne fakahoko kakato ʻa e kotoa ʻo hoku lotó’;+
ʻA e Tokotaha ʻokú ne pehē ʻo fekauʻaki mo Selusalema, ‘ʻE toe langa ia,’
Pea fekauʻaki mo e temipalé, ‘ʻE toe fakatoka ho fakavaʻé.’”+
