Esaia
16 ʼAve he ovi tagata ki te pule ʼo te fenua,
Mai Selea ʼo fakalaka ʼi te toafa
ʼO kaku ki te moʼuga ʼo te taʼahine ʼo Sione.
2 Ohage ko he manulele ʼe kapu mai tona moeʼaga,+
ʼE feia anai te ʼu taʼahine ʼo Moape ʼi te ʼu potu ʼae ʼe mole loloto ʼo te vai tafe ʼo Alenone.+
3 “Foaki he tokoni, mulimuli ki te tonu.
ʼI te fetapa totonu, fakaliliu tou malu ke hage ko te poʼuli.
Fakanono ia natou ʼae ʼe mavetevete pea ʼaua naʼa ke kakaʼi ia natou ʼae neʼe feholaki.
4 Moape, tuku taku hahaʼi ʼae ʼe mavetevete ke nonofo io koe!
Ke ke liliu ko honatou nonoʼaga mai ia ia ʼae ʼe fakatupu maumau.+
ʼE pulihi anai te tagata agakovi,
Pea gata ai te maumau,
Pea ʼe toʼo anai mai te kele ia natou ʼae neʼe natou malamalaki ʼihi.
5 Pea ʼe fakatuʼu malohi anai he hekaʼaga fakahau ʼaki te ʼofa.*
ʼE agatonu anai ia ia ʼae ka heka ki ai mai te fale la ʼo Tavite,+
ʼE ina fakamauʼi mo fakahoko fakavilivili anai ʼi te faitotonu.”+
6 Neʼe matou logo talanoa ki te fialahi ʼo Moape, ʼei, tona fialahi ʼosi,+
Tona fiatuʼu, tona fialahi mo tona itaita.+
Kae ʼe mole hoko anai ʼana talaga vaʼiganoa.
7 Koia ʼae ʼe kalaga anai ia Moape ʼuhi ko tona malaʼia,
ʼE natou kalaga fuli anai.+
ʼE lauga anai ia natou ʼae neʼe mole malo ʼo manatuʼi te ʼu foʼi keke vite ʼo Kile-aleseti.+
8 Kua moamoa te ʼu gaueʼaga ʼo Heseponi,+
ʼO toe feia mo te gaueʼaga vite ʼo Sipima.+
Neʼe malamalaki e te ʼu pule ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga ʼona vaʼa kula.*
Neʼe kaku ia ki Saesele,+
Neʼe mafola ia ki te toafa.
Neʼe homo ʼona vaʼa ʼo mafola ki te tai.
9 Koia ʼae ʼe au tagi anai ki te fuʼu vite ʼo Sipima ohage ko taku tagi kia Saesele.
Heseponi mo Eleale, ʼe au fakavai anai koulua ʼaki ʼoku loʼimata,+
He ʼe mole kei logo te ʼu kalaga fakafiafia ʼuhi ko* ʼakolua fuaʼi ʼakau ʼo te temi mafana mo ʼakolua taʼukai.
10 Kua puli te fiafia ʼi te gaueʼaga,
ʼE mole kei ʼi ai ni hiva mo ni kalaga fakafiafia ʼi te ʼu gaueʼaga vite.+
ʼE mole kei lomi e he tahi ni vite ʼi te ʼu lomiʼaga vite,
Kua au fakagata te ʼu kalaga fakafiafia.+
11 Koia ʼae ʼe au hoha ai ʼo ʼuhiga mo Moape+
Ohage ko ni kauʼi uka ʼo he alepa moka ta,
ʼEi, ʼe au hoha ʼo ʼuhiga mo Kile-aleseti.+
12 Koia ʼe mole he ʼuhiga anai ʼo te kinakina ʼa Moape moka hake ki te faʼahi maʼoluga pea mo tana alu ʼae ʼo faikole ʼi tona sagatualio.+
13 Ko te logo ʼaia neʼe tala e Sehova ʼo ʼuhiga mo Moape. 14 ʼI te temi nei ʼe ui e Sehova: “ ʼE fakalainoaʼi anai te kololia ʼo Moape pea ʼe hoko tonu ia taʼu ʼe tolu.* ʼE tau anai mo ni mamahi kehekehe pea ko natou ʼae ka toe, ʼe mole maʼuhiga anai, ʼe tokosiʼi anai.”+
