Pesalemo

Hahaʼi fuli ʼo te malama kotou tokakaga,

 2 Ia koutou liliki mo koutou lalahi,

Ia koutou ʼae ʼe maʼu koloa peʼe masisiva.

 3 ʼE au puʼaki anai ni palalau fakapotopoto,

ʼE au maʼu anai ni fakakaukau fakapotopoto.+

 4 ʼE au tokagaʼi anai he taʼaga lea.

ʼE au ta anai te alepa moʼo fakamahino ʼo te taʼaga lea.

 5 He koʼe ʼe au tuʼania anai ʼi te temi ʼo te malaʼia,+

Moka ʼa takai au e te kau agakovi mo faigaʼi ke natou fakamamahiʼi au?

 6 Ko natou ʼae ʼe falala ki ʼonatou koloa,+

Pea mo fiameʼameʼa ʼi te lahi ʼo ʼonatou koloa,+

 7 ʼE mole he tahi ia natou ʼe feala ke ina totogi hona tehina,

Peʼe foaki ki te ʼAtua he totogi* moʼona fakaʼateainaʼi,+

 8 (ʼE mole lavaʼi ia ʼi he temi ke natou totogi he maʼuli ʼo he tagata,

He ʼe maʼoluga ʼaupito tona totogi*)

 9 Ke maʼuli ʼo talu ai pea ke mole hifo ki te luo.*+

10 ʼE kita iloʼi pe ʼe toe mamate mo te kau popoto,

ʼO feia ki te tagata vale,+

Pea ʼe tonu ke tuku ʼonatou koloa ki ʼihi.+

11 Ko te meʼa ʼae ʼe natou fakaʼamu ki ai, ke tologa tuʼumaʼu ʼonatou ʼapi,

Peʼe ko ʼonatou fale la, mai he taʼiake ki he tahi taʼiake.

12 Logope la te fakaʼapaʼapaʼi ʼo te tagata, kae ʼe mole maʼuli anai.+

ʼE mole hona ia kehekehe mo te ʼu manu ʼae ʼe mamate.+

13 Ko te ikuʼaga ʼaia ʼo te tagata vale+

Pea mo natou ʼae ʼe natou muliʼi ia ia mo leleiʼia ʼana palalau vaʼiganoa. (Sela)

ʼE hage anai te mate ko honatou tagata tauhi ovi.

ʼI te uhu ʼe puleʼi anai natou e te ʼu tagata faitotonu.+

Kua natou pupuli ʼosi.+

Ko tonatou nofoʼaga ko te Faitoka*+ kae ʼe mole ko he fale hau.+

15 Kae ʼe toe totogi anai au e te ʼAtua mai te pule ʼa te Faitoka,*+

He ʼe ina puke anai au. (Sela)

16 ʼAua naʼa ke mataku ʼuhi ko te maʼu koloa ʼa he tagata,

ʼUhi ko te ʼaʼasili taulekaleka ʼo tona ʼapi,

17 He ʼe mole ina ʼave anai he meʼa moka mate.+

ʼE mole hifo anai mo ʼona koloa.+

20 Ko te tagata ʼae ʼe mole mahino ki te faʼahi ʼaia, logope la tona fakaʼapaʼapaʼi,+

ʼE mole hona ia kehekehe mo te ʼu manu ʼae ʼe mamate.
