Siope
13 “ʻIo, kuo sio ʻa hoku matá ki he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa,
Kuo fanongo ʻe hoku telingá ʻo ne mahinoʻi ia.
2 Ko e meʻa ʻoku mou ʻiló, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe au;
ʻOku ʻikai te u siʻi hifo au ʻiate kimoutolu.
3 Ko e meʻa kiate aú, ʻe laka ange ke u lea ki he Māfimafi-Aoniú tonu;
ʻOku ou loto ke u aleaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻaʻakú mo e ʻOtuá.+
4 Ka ʻoku mou lauʻikoviʻi au ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi loi;
Ko e kotoa ʻo kimoutolú ko e kau faitoʻo taʻeʻaonga.+
5 Kapau pē te mou mātuʻaki fakalongolongo,
ʻE fakahaaʻi ai hoʻomou potó.+
6 Fanongo muʻa ki heʻeku ngaahi fakaʻuhingá,
Pea tokanga ki he ngaahi tautapa ʻa hoku loungutú.
7 Te mou lea taʻetotonu koā maʻá e ʻOtuá,
Pea te mou lea kākā koā maʻana?
8 Te mou kau koā ki heʻene faʻahí,*
Te mou feinga ke taukapoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní?
9 ʻE iku ki ha lelei kapau naʻá ne siviʻi kimoutolu?+
Te mou kākaaʻi ia ʻo hangē ko haʻamou fai ki ha tangata ko e meʻa noa peé?
10 Te ne valokiʻi moʻoni kimoutolu
Kapau ʻoku mou feinga fakafufū ke fakahaaʻi ha filifilimānako.+
11 ʻIkai ʻe fakamanavaheeʻi kimoutolu ʻe hono ngeiá tonu
Pea ʻoku tō kiate kimoutolu ʻa e manavahē kiate iá?
12 Ko hoʻomou ngaahi lea fakapotó* ko e koto palōveepi efuefu pē;
Ko hoʻomou ngaahi taukapó* ʻoku vaivai ʻo hangē ha ʻumeá.
13 Hanganaki fakalongolongo ʻi hoku ʻaó, koeʻuhí ka u lea.
Pea tuku ke hoko mai ha meʻa pē ʻe hoko mai kiate aú!
14 Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻai ai au ki ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmakí*
Peá u pukepuke ʻa ʻeku moʻuí ʻi hoku nimá?
15 Neongo ka ne tāmateʻi au, te u kei tatali pē;+
Te u aleaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻaʻakú* ʻi hono fofongá tonu.
16 Te ne toki hoko ai ko hoku fakamoʻui,+
He ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha anga-taʻefakaʻotua* ʻe lava ke hū ki hono ʻaó.+
17 Fanongo lelei mai ki heʻeku leá;
Tokanga ki heʻeku fakamatalá.
18 Vakai mai, kuó u teuteu ke taukapoʻi au;
ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ou tonuhia.
19 Ko hai ʻe fakakikihi mo aú?
Te u mate ʻo kapau te u fakalongolongo ai pē!*
20 ʻE ʻOtua, ko e meʻa pē ʻe ua ke ke fai kiate aú,*
Koeʻuhí ke ʻoua te u fufū au mei ho ʻaó:
21 Toʻo atu ke mamaʻo ho nima kāfakafá meiate au,
Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa e manavahē kiate koé ke ne fakailifiaʻi au.+
22 Ke ke folofola mai pea te u tali atu,
Pe ko hoʻo tuku mai ke u lea, peá ke tali mai.
23 Ko e hā ʻa ʻeku ngaahi faihalá mo ʻeku ngaahi angahalá?
Fakahaaʻi mai kiate au ʻa ʻeku laka halá mo ʻeku angahalá.
25 Te ke feinga ke fakailifiaʻi ha lauʻiʻakau ʻoku vilingia atu ʻi he matangí
Pe tuli ki ha tuketukeʻi uite mōmoa?
26 He ʻokú ke hanganaki hiki ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻi kovi fekauʻaki mo au,
Pea ʻokú ke ʻai au ke u fai ha tali ki he ngaahi angahala ʻo ʻeku kei talavoú.
27 Kuó ke ʻai hoku vaʻé ki he ʻakau-kīʻí,
ʻOkú ke sivi fakalautelau ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻalungá kotoa,
Pea ʻokú ke fakatotoloʻi ʻa ʻeku laka taki taha.
28 Ko ia ʻoku ʻaunga ʻa e tangatá* ʻo hangē ha meʻa ʻoku popó,
Hangē ha kofu kuo kai ʻe he ané.
