Hiva ʻa Solomone
6 “Kuo ʻalu ki fē ho ʻofaʻangá,
ʻA koe fefine hoihoifua taha ʻi he kau fefiné?
Naʻe afe ki fē ʻa ho ʻofaʻangá?
Tau kumi fakataha mo koe kiate ia.”
2 “Kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá ki heʻene ngoué,
Ki he ngaahi mohenga matalaʻiʻakau namu-kakalá,
Ke tauhi ʻa e fanga sipí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi ngoué
Pea ke paki ʻa e ngaahi lilé.+
3 ʻOku ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá au,
Pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻa hoku ʻofaʻangá.+
ʻOkú ne tauhi ʻa e fanga sipí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi lilé.”+
4 “ʻOkú ke fakaʻofoʻofa hangē ko Tilisá,*+ ʻa ʻeku pele,+
Pea matamatalelei ʻo hangē ko Selusalemá,+
Pea fakaleleloto ʻo hangē ha kau tau ʻoku tuʻu takai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakaʻilongá.+
Ko ho louʻulú ʻoku hangē ha tākanga kosi
ʻOku nau ʻaukolo hifo ʻi he ngaahi tahifo ʻo Kiliatí.+
6 Ko ho nifó ʻoku hangē ko ha tākanga sipi
Kuo nau ʻalu hake hili honau kaukauʻí,
Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku nau tauhoa lelei,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe mole ʻa hono ʻuhikí.
7 ʻOku hangē ha konga pomikānité
ʻA ho kouʻahé* mei loto ʻi ho pūloú.
9 Ka ʻoku toko taha mātē pē ʻa ʻeku lupé,+ ʻa ʻeku tokotaha taʻemelé.
Ko e toko taha pē ia ʻa ʻene faʻeé.
Ko e ʻofaʻanga* ia ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fanauʻi iá.
ʻOku sio kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi ʻofefiné, pea ʻoku nau talamonū kiate ia;
Mo e ngaahi kuiní mo e kau sinifú, pea ʻoku nau fakahīkihikiʻi ia.
10 ‘Ko hai ia ʻa e fefine ʻoku malama mai* ʻo hangē ko e mafoa ʻa e atá,
ʻOku fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo hangē ko e kātoa ʻa e māhiná,
ʻOku maʻa ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻo e laʻaá,
ʻOku fakaleleloto ʻo hangē ko e kau tau ʻoku nau tuʻu takai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakaʻilongá?’”+
11 “Naʻá ku ʻalu hifo ki he ngoue natí+
Ke sio ki he ʻakau ʻoku tupu foʻou ʻi he teleʻá,*
Ke sio pe kuo tā huli* hake ʻa e kālepí,
Pe kuo fisi ʻa e ʻulu pomikānité.
12 Ki muʻa ke u ʻilo iá,
Ne hanga ʻe heʻeku holí ʻo ʻave au
Ki he ngaahi saliote ʻa hoku kakai anga-fakaʻeiʻeikí.”*
13 “Foki mai, foki mai, siʻi taʻahine Sūlemi!
Foki mai, foki mai,
Ke mau siofia koe!”
“Ko e hā ʻoku mou sio fakamamaʻu ai ki he taʻahine Sūlemí?”+
“ʻOkú ne hangē ko e meʻe ʻa ha ongo faʻahi ʻe uá!”*
