2 “ʻOfa ke ke ʻuma mai kiate au ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ʻuma ʻa ho ngutú,
He ko hoʻo fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá ʻoku lelei ange ia ʻi he uaine.+
3 Ko e ʻalaha ʻa hoʻo ngaahi loló ʻoku namu-lelei.+
Ko ho hingoá ʻoku hangē ko hono lilingi ʻo ha lolo namu-kakalá.+
Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻiate koe ʻa e kau finemuí.
4 Ke ke ʻave muʻa au;* tuku ke ta ō.
Kuo ʻomi au ʻe he tuʻí ki hono ngaahi loki ʻi lotó!
Tuku muʻa ke ta fiefia peá u fiefia ʻiate koe.
Tuku ke ta viki* ʻa e fakahāhā ʻo hoʻo ʻofá ʻo laka hake ʻi he uainé.
ʻOku totonu pē ʻa ʻenau* ʻofa ʻiate koé.
5 ʻOku ou ʻuliʻuli, ka ʻoku ou fakaʻofoʻofa, ʻe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema,
Hangē ko e ngaahi tēniti ʻo Ketá,+ hangē ko e ngaahi tupenu tēniti+ ʻa Solomoné.
6 ʻOua te mou sio fakamamaʻu kiate au koeʻuhí ko ʻeku ʻuliʻulí,
He kuo tutu au ʻe he laʻaá.
Naʻe ʻita ʻiate au ʻa e fānau tangata ʻa ʻeku faʻeé;
Naʻa nau fakanofo au ko e tauhi ʻo e ngaahi ngoue kālepí,
Ka ko ʻeku ngoue kālepí naʻe ʻikai te u tauhi ia.
7 Tala mai muʻa kiate au, ʻa koe ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi aí,
ʻA e feituʻu ʻokú ke fakakaikai ai hoʻo tākangá,+
ʻA e feituʻu ʻokú ke fakatokoto ai kinautolu ʻi he hoʻatā mālié.
Ko e hā ke u hangē ai ha fefine ʻokú ne ʻai ha pūloú*
ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi tākanga ʻa ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá?”
8 “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi ia, ʻa koe fefine hoihoifua taha ʻi he kau fefiné,
ʻAlu ʻo muimui ʻi he halanga ʻo e tākangá
Pea fakakaikai ʻa e ʻuhiki ʻo hoʻo fanga kosí ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi tēniti ʻo e kau tauhi-sipí.”
9 “ʻOku ou fakatatau koe, ʻe hoku ʻofaʻanga, ki ha* hoosi fefine ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻa Feló.+
10 Ko ho kouʻahé ʻoku matamatalelei ia ʻi hoʻo ʻai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa-teuteú,*
Mo ho kiá ʻi hoʻo ʻai ki ai ʻa e ngaahi kahoa kulá.
11 Te mau ngaohi maʻau ha ngaahi meʻa-teuteu* koula
Kuo fakafonofono ʻaki ʻa e siliva.”
12 “Lolotonga ʻa e ʻafio ʻa e tuʻí ʻi hono tēpile fuopotopotó,
13 ʻOku hangē kiate au ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ko ha kiʻi tangai mula namu-kakalá+
ʻOkú ne mohe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hoku ongo huhú.
14 ʻOku hangē kiate au ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ko ha fuhinga saipalesi*+
ʻI he ngaahi ngoue kālepi ʻo ʻEni-ketí.”+
15 “Vakai! ʻOkú ke hoihoifua, siʻoku ʻofaʻanga.
Vakai! ʻOkú ke hoihoifua. Ko ho matá ko e mata tofu pē ʻo ha lupe.”+
16 “Vakai! ʻOkú ke fakaʻofoʻofa,* ʻe hoku ʻofaʻanga, mo lelei ʻaupito.+
Ko hota mohengá ko e ngaahi lauʻiʻakau.
17 Ko e ngaahi pimi ʻo hota falé* ko e sita,
Ko ʻeta ngaahi saá ʻoku mei he ʻakau ko e siunipá.
