Hiva ʻa Solomone
4 “Vakai! ʻOkú ke hoihoifua, siʻoku ʻofaʻanga.
Vakai! ʻOkú ke hoihoifua.
Ko ho matá ko e mata tofu pē ʻo ha lupe mei loto ʻi ho pūloú.
Ko ho louʻulú ʻoku hangē ko ha tākanga kosí
ʻOku nau ʻaukolo hifo mei he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Kiliatí.+
2 Ko ho nifó ʻoku hangē ko ha tākanga sipi naʻe toki ʻosi hono kosí
Kuo nau ʻalu hake hili honau kaukauʻí,
Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku nau tauhoa lelei,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe mole ʻa hono ʻuhikí.
3 Ko ho loungutú ʻoku hangē ha filo kula ʻahoʻahó,
Pea ʻoku mālie ʻa hoʻo leá.
ʻOku hangē ha konga pomikānité
ʻA ho kouʻahé* mei loto ʻi ho pūloú.
4 Ko ho kiá+ ʻoku hangē ko e taua ʻo Tēvitá,+
ʻOku langa fakaʻotu ʻaki ʻa e maká
ʻA ia ʻoku tautau ai ha ngaahi pā ʻe taha afe,
ʻA e ngaahi pā fuopotopoto kotoa ʻa e kau tangata toʻá.+
5 Ko ho ongo huhú ʻoku hangē ko ha ongo ʻuhiki ʻo ha kāselí,
Ko e ongo māhanga ʻa ha kāseli,+
ʻA ia ʻoku kaikai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi lilé.”
6 “ʻI he aʻu ki he havilivili* ʻa e ʻahó pea puli atu ʻa e ngaahi ʻatá,
Te u ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻo e mulá
Pea ki he foʻi māʻolunga ʻo e ʻinisēnisi hinehiná.”+
8 Haʻu ke ta mavahe mei Lepanoni, ʻa ʻeku taʻahine mali,
Haʻu ke ta mavahe mei Lepanoni.+
ʻAlu hifo mei he tumutumu ʻo ʻĀmaná,*
Mei he tumutumu ʻo Senilí, ʻa e tumutumu ʻo Heamoní,+
Mei he ʻana ʻo e fanga laioné, mei he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo e fanga lēpatí.
9 Kuó ke maʻu ʻa hoku lotó,+ ʻe hoku tuofefine, ʻa ʻeku taʻahine mali,
Kuó ke maʻu ʻa hoku lotó ʻaki ha foʻi hila pē ʻe taha ʻo ho matá,
ʻAki ʻa e foʻi kula pē ʻe taha ʻo ho kahoá.
10 He fakaʻofoʻofa ē ko e fakahāhā ʻo hoʻo ʻofá,+ ʻe hoku tuofefine, ʻa ʻeku taʻahine mali!
Ko e fakahāhā ʻo hoʻo ʻofá ʻoku lelei mamaʻo ange ia ʻi he uaine,+
Mo e namu-kakala ʻo hoʻo meʻa fakanamuleleí ʻi ha faʻahinga sipaisi pē!+
11 Ko ho loungutú, ʻa ʻeku taʻahine mali, ʻoku tafe mai mei ai ʻa e hone.+
Ko e honé mo e huʻakaú ʻoku ʻi ho lalo ʻeleló,+
Pea ko e namu-kakala ʻo ho ngaahi kofú ʻoku hangē ia ko e namu-kakala ʻo Lepanoní.
12 Ko siʻoku tuofefiné, ʻa ʻeku taʻahine malí, ʻokú ne hangē ko ha ngoue kuo lokaʻí,
Ko ha ngoue kuo lokaʻi, ko ha matavai kuo silaʻi.
13 Ko ho ngaahi vaʻá* ko ha palataisi* ʻo e pomikānite
ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fua lelei tahá, mo e saipalesi fakataha mo e ʻulu naʻati,
14 Ko e naʻati+ mo ha sipaisi,* mo e kaho namu-kakala+ mo e sinamoni,+
Mo e ʻakau kehekehe ʻoku maʻu mei ai ʻa e ʻinisēnisi hinehiná, mo e mulá, mo e ʻaloé,*+
Fakataha mo e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakanamulelei funganí.+
15 Ko koé ko ha matavai ʻi he ngoué, ko ha vaitupu ʻo e vai maʻa,
Mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻoku tafe mei Lepanoni.+
16 ʻĀ hake, ʻe matangi tokelau;
Hū mai, ʻe matangi tonga.
Mānava mai* ki heʻeku loto ngoué.
Tuku ke mafola atu ʻa hono ʻalahá.”
“Tuku ke haʻu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ki heʻene ngoué
Pea kai ʻa hono ngaahi fua lelei tahá.”
