Hiva ʻa Solomone
3 “ʻI hoku mohengá ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e poʻulí,
Naʻá ku kumi ai ki he tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻofa aí.+
Naʻá ku kumi kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.+
2 Te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu fano holo ʻi he koló;
ʻI he ngaahi halá pea ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe fakakoló,*
Tuku ke u kumi ki he tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻofa aí.
Naʻá ku kumi kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
3 Naʻe ʻilo au ʻe he kau tangata leʻó ʻi heʻenau takai ʻi he koló,+ pea naʻá ku ʻeke ange kiate kinautolu,
‘Kuo mou sio atu ki he tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻofa aí?’
4 ʻI heʻeku fakalaka siʻi atu pē meiate kinautolú
Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ou ʻofa aí.
Naʻá ku puke ia, naʻe ʻikai te u tuku ange ia
Kae ʻoua kuó u ʻave ia ki he fale ʻo ʻeku faʻeé,+
Ki he loki ʻi loto ʻo e fefine naʻá ne feitamaʻi aú.
5 ʻOku ou ʻai kimoutolu ke mou fuakava, ʻe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema,
ʻI he fanga kāseli mo e fanga tia fefine ʻo e vaó:
ʻOua ʻe feinga ke fafangu pe langaʻi ʻiate au ʻa e ʻofá kae ʻoua kuó u maʻu ha ongoʻi pehē.”+
6 “Ko e hā eni ʻoku haʻu mei he toafá ʻo hangē ha kohu ʻoku ʻalu haké,
Kuo fakanamulelei ʻaki ʻa e mula mo e ʻinisēnisi hinehina,
Fakataha mo e ngaahi pauta namu-kakala kotoa ʻa ha mēsianiti?”+
7 “Vakai! Ko e tokaʻanga ia ʻo Solomoné.
ʻOku takatakaiʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata toʻa ʻe toko 60,
ʻI he kau tangata toʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí,+
8 Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku nau toʻo ha heletā,
Kuo nau ako kotoa ki he taú,
ʻO taki taha ʻi ai ʻene heletā ʻi hono tafaʻakí
Ke faiʻaki ha leʻohi mei he ngaahi meʻa fakalilifu ʻo e poó.”
9 “Ko e meʻa-fata* fakatuʻi ia ʻo Tuʻi Solomoné
ʻA ia naʻá ne ngaohi maʻana mei he ʻuluʻakau ʻo Lepanoní.+
10 Ko hono ngaahi poú naʻá ne ngaohi ia mei he silivá,
Ko hono meʻa falalá mei he koulá.
Ko hono ʻafioʻangá mei he fulufuluʻisipi vāletí;
Naʻe teuteuʻi ʻa loto ʻi he anga-ʻofa
ʻE he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selusalemá.”
