7 ʻOiauē ka ko kita! ʻOku ou hangē ha taha,
ʻI he hili hono tānaki ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfaná
Pea mo e tufi ʻi he hili ʻa hono toli ʻo ha kālepi,
ʻOku ʻikai te u maʻu ha fuhinga kālepi ke kai,
ʻOku ʻikai ha fiki tokamuʻa ʻa ē ʻoku ou havala ki aí.
2 Ko e tokotaha mateakí kuó ne ʻauha* mei he māmaní;
ʻOku ʻikai ha taha anga-tonu+ ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau tangatá.
Ko e kotoa ʻo kinautolú ʻoku nau toka malumu ke fai ha lingitoto.+
ʻOku tuli ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ki hono tokoua pē ʻoʻona ʻaki ha kupenga.
3 ʻOku pōtoʻi honau nimá ʻi hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku koví;+
ʻOku kounaʻi ʻe he houʻeikí ha meʻaʻofa,
ʻOku kole ʻa e fakamāú ki ha totongi,+
ʻOku ʻai ʻe he tokotaha tuʻu-ki-muʻá ʻa ʻene ngaahi holí+ ke ʻiloʻi,
Pea ʻoku nau faʻufaʻu fakataha ia.*
4 Ko ʻenau tokotaha lelei tahá ʻoku hangē ha ʻakau talatalá,
Ko ʻenau tokotaha anga-tonu tahá ʻoku kovi ange ia ʻi ha kauʻā ʻakau talatala.
Ko e ʻaho naʻe lea ʻa hoʻo kau tangata leʻó ʻo kau ki aí pea mo e ʻaho ʻo e fakamāú ʻe hoko mai.+
Ko ia te nau tailiili.+
5 ʻOua ʻe tuʻu hoʻomou falalá ʻi homou takangá
Pe falala ki ha kaumeʻa ofi.+
Tokanga ki he meʻa ʻokú ke leaʻaki ki he tokotaha ʻoku lea loi ʻi hoʻomo fāʻofuá.
6 He ʻoku taʻetokaʻi ʻe he fohá ʻa ʻene tamaí,
ʻOku tuʻu hake ʻa e taʻahiné ki heʻene faʻeé,+
Mo e ʻofefine-ʻi-he-fonó ki heʻene faʻē-ʻi-he-fonó;+
Ko e ngaahi fili ʻo ha tangata ʻa e kau tangata ʻi hono falé.+
7 Ka ko e meʻa kiate aú, te u hanganaki fakasio kia Sihova.+
Te u fakahāhā ha fakakaukau faʻa tatali* ki he ʻOtua ko hoku fakamoʻuí.+
ʻE fanongo mai ʻa hoku ʻOtuá kiate au.+
8 ʻE hoku fili,* ʻoua te ke fiefia koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tō ki he faingataʻá.
Neongo kuó u tō, te u tuʻu hake;
Neongo ʻoku ou nofo ʻi he fakapoʻulí, ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ko ʻeku maama.
9 Te u kātakiʻi ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová
—He kuó u faiangahala kiate ia+—
Kae ʻoua kuó ne taukapoʻi ʻeku meʻa fakalaó pea fakahoko mai ʻa e fakamaau totonú kiate au.
Te ne ʻomi au ki he māmá;
Te u sio ki heʻene māʻoniʻoní.
10 ʻE sio foki ʻa hoku filí,
Pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he maá ʻa ia naʻá ne pehē mai kiate au:
“Ko fē ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá?”+
ʻE sio hoku matá ki hoku filí.
Ko eni ʻe tāmalaki ia ʻo hangē ha pelepelá ʻi he ngaahi halá.
11 ʻE hoko ia ko ha ʻaho ki hono langa ho ngaahi ʻā maká;
ʻI he ʻaho ko iá ʻe toe tahaʻi atu ai ʻa e kauʻaá.*
12 ʻI he ʻaho ko iá te nau aʻu atu kiate koe
ʻO faai mai mei ʻAsīlia mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsipité,
Mei ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he Vaitafé;*
Mei he tahi ki he tahi pea mei he moʻunga ki he moʻunga.+
13 Pea ʻe hoko ʻa e fonuá ʻo maomaonganoa koeʻuhi ko e kau nofo aí,
Ko e nunuʻa ia ʻo e meʻa kuo nau faí.*
14 Tauhi ho kakaí ʻaki ho tokotokó, ʻa e tākanga ʻo ho tofiʻá,+
ʻA e tokotaha naʻe nofo toko taha ʻi ha vaotā—ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha ngoue fuaʻiʻakau.
Tuku ke nau kai ʻi Pēsani mo Kiliati+ ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e kuohilí.
15 “Hangē ko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa mou haʻu ai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipité,
Te u fakahāhā kiate kinautolu ha ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.+
16 ʻE sio ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá pea te nau mā neongo ʻa e kotoa ʻo honau mālohí.+
Te nau ʻai honau nimá ki honau ngutú;
ʻE hoko ʻo tuli honau telingá.
17 Te nau ʻemo ʻa e efú ʻo hangē ha fanga ngatá;+
Te nau haʻu tetetete mei honau ngaahi kolotaú ʻo hangē ko e fanga manu totolo mo ngaolo ʻo e māmaní.
Te nau haʻu manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtuá,
Pea te nau manavahē kiate koe.”+
18 Ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻoku tatau mo koe,
ʻOkú ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e faihalá mo tuku ke fakalaka atu ʻa e laka hala+ ʻa e toenga ʻo ho tofiʻá?+
Heʻikai te ke tauhi ai pē hoʻo ʻitá ʻo taʻengata,
He ʻokú ke manako ʻi he ʻofa mateakí.+
19 Te ke toe fakahāhā mai ʻa e meesi+ kiate kimautolu; te ke ikunaʻi* ʻemau ngaahi halá.
Te ke lī ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻenau ngaahi angahalá ki he loloto ʻo e tahí.+
20 Te ke fakahāhā ʻa e faitōnunga kia Sēkope,
ʻA e ʻofa mateaki kia ʻĒpalahame,
ʻO hangē ko ia naʻá ke fuakavaʻaki ki heʻemau fanga kuí talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e kuohilí.+
