1 Ko e holi fakamātoato ʻae palōfita ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae siasi ʻi he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻae ʻOtua. 5 Ko e ngāue ʻae kau faifekau (ʻa ia ʻoku ueʻi ʻakinautolu ki ai) ʻi he malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, 10 Mo e teuʻi ʻae kakai ki ai.

1Koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻe ʻikai te u fakalongo pe,

pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻe ʻikai te u mālōlō,

kaeʻoua ke ulo atu ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama lahi,

pea mo ʻene fakamoʻui ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoku ulo.

2Pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi Senitaile ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni,

mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ki ho nāunau;

pea ʻe ui ʻaki koe ʻae hingoa foʻou,

ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova.

3Pea te ke hoko foki ko e tatā ʻoe nāunau ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova,

mo e pale fakatuʻi ʻi he nima ʻo ho ʻOtua,

4‌ʻE ʻikai toe ui koe “ko e Liʻaki;”

pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho fonua “ko e Lala:”

ka e ui koe “ko Hefisipa,”

mo ho fonua “ko Piula:”

he ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe,

pea ʻe fai ʻae taʻane ʻi ho fonua.

5Hangē ʻoku mali ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou,

ʻe pehē ʻae mali ho ngaahi foha mo koe:

pea hangē ʻoku fiefia ʻae tangata taʻane ʻi he taʻahine,

ʻe pehē ʻae fiefia ʻa ho ʻOtua ʻiate koe.

6Kuo u fekau ʻae kau tangata leʻo ki ho ngaahi ʻā, ʻE Selūsalema,

pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakalongo pē ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō;

ko kimoutolu ʻoku fakahā ʻa Sihova, ʻoua ʻe fakalongo pe,

7Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate ia ha fiemālie,

kaeʻoua ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ia ʻa Selūsalema, pea ke ne ngaohi ia ko e ongoongolelei ʻi māmani.

8Kuo fuakava ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu,

pea ʻi he nima ʻo hono mālohi,

“Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u toe foaki hoʻo uite ko e meʻakai ki ho ngaahi fili;

pea ʻe ʻikai inu ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli ʻi hoʻo uaine, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ke maʻu:

9Ka ko kinautolu kuo tānaki ia te nau kai ia, pea fakamālō kia Sihova;

pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻomi fakataha ia te nau inu ia ʻi he ngaahi loto ʻā ʻo hoku māʻoniʻoni.

10Hū atu, hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā;

teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe kakai;

fokotuʻu hake, fokotuʻu hake ʻae hala māʻolunga;

tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka;

fokotuʻu ʻae fuka maʻa ʻe kakai.

11Vakai, kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani,

“Mou pehē ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione,

‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui;

vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi,

pea ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.’”

12Pea te nau ui ʻakinautolu, “Ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni,

Ko e kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova:”

pea ʻe ui koe, “Ko e ʻofeina,

Ko e kolo taʻeliʻaki.”
