Taʼaga Lea

26 ʼE mole tuha te fakaʼapaʼapa mo he tahi ʼe vale,+

Ohage ko te nive ʼi te temi vela mo te ʼua ʼi te temi taʼukai.

 2 ʼE mole hoʼi hola noa pe he manulele peʼe ko te lele ʼa he kiʼi misi,

ʼE feia pe mo he malaʼia, ʼe mole hoʼi hoko noa.*

 3 ʼE ʼaoga te huipi ki te hosi mo te fakagutu ki te asino,+

Pea ko te koga ʼakau ki te ʼu tuʼa ʼo te kau vale.+

 4 ʼAua naʼa ke tali ki te vale ʼo mulimuli ki tona vale,

Naʼa ke tatau mo ia.

 5 Tali ki te vale ʼo mulimuli ki tona vale

Ke ʼaua naʼa ina ui ʼe poto.+

 6 Ko ia ʼae ʼe ina foaki ni gaue ki he tahi ʼe vale,

ʼE hage ko he tahi ʼe ina fakalaveaʼi ʼona vaʼe.

 7 Ko he taʼaga lea ʼi te gutu ʼo te kau vale,

ʼE hage ko te ʼu vaʼe ʼo he tahi ʼe haʼele ketu.+

 8 Ko he fakakololiaʼi ʼo he tahi ʼe vale,

ʼE hage ko te nonoʼo ʼo he maka ki he makamaka.+

 9 Ko he taʼaga lea ʼi te gutu ʼo te kau vale,

ʼE hage ko he ʼakau talatala ʼi te nima ʼo he tahi ʼe konahia.

10 Ko he tahi ʼe ina fakagaueʼi he tagata vale peʼe ko he tahi ʼe fakalaka

ʼE hage ko he tagata fainahau ʼe hoko fana ʼo lavevea ai te hahaʼi.

11 Ohage ko he kuli ʼe toe liliu ʼo kai tona lua

ʼE feia te vale ʼae ʼe toe liliu ki tona vale.+

13 ʼE ui e te tagata pikoʼelo: “ ʼE ʼi ai he laione ʼi te ala,

He laione ʼi te malaʼe lahi ʼo te kolo!”+

14 Ohage ko he matapa ʼe fetaʼaki tuʼumaʼu,

ʼE feia te femafuliʼaki ʼa te tagata pikoʼelo ʼi tona palepale.+

15 ʼE ʼai e te tagata pikoʼelo tona nima ki te pa meʼa kai,

Kae ʼi te lahi ʼo tona piko ʼe mole ina lava ʼaumai pe la ki tona gutu.+

16 ʼE manatu te tagata pikoʼelo ʼe poto age ia

ʼI he toko fitu ʼe palalau fakapotopoto.

17 Ko he tahi ʼe fakalaka ʼe ita ki he kē ʼe mole kau ai,

ʼE hage ko he tahi ʼe ina puke te ʼu taliga ʼo he kuli.+

18 Ohage ko he tagata vale ʼe ina li ni tao ulo mo fana ni kauʼi nahau kona,

19 ʼE feia te tagata ʼae ʼe ina kakaʼi tona tatau mo ui: “Ko te gaoʼi pe ia.”+

20 Ka mole he fafie, ʼe mate te afi,

Pea ka mole he tahi ʼe fasituʼu, ʼe gata ai te kē.+

21 Ko he tagata fakatupu kē

ʼE hage ko te li ʼo ni mamala ki ni mamala kakaha pea mo te hokohokoʼi ʼo ni fafie ʼi he afi.+

22 ʼE hage te ʼu palalau ʼa ia ʼae ʼe faifasituʼu ko ni meʼa kai lelei

ʼE folo pea ʼe hifo lelei ki te fatu.+

23 Ko te ʼu palalau lelei ʼae ʼe fai e he tagata agakovi,

ʼE hage ko te vali ʼo he vanisi siliva ki he ipu kua foa.+

24 Ko ia ʼae ʼe fehiʼa ki ʼihi ʼe mole ha ʼi ʼana palalau,

Kae ʼe kaka tona loto.

25 ʼE malie ʼana palalau kae ʼaua naʼa ke falala ki ai,

Koteʼuhi ʼe maʼu ʼi tona loto he ʼu aga fakalialia ʼe fitu.*

26 ʼE loi moʼo fufu tona fehiʼa,

Kae ʼe ha anai tana agakovi ʼi te hahaʼi.

27 Ko ia ʼae ʼe ina keli he luo, ʼe to anai ia ki ai,

Pea kapau ʼe fuli he maka e he tahi, ʼe feala pe ke teka mai te maka ʼaia ʼo tataʼo.+

28 Ko he tahi ʼe gutuloi ʼe fehiʼa kia natou ʼae ʼe ina fakamamahiʼi,

Pea ʼe fakatupu malaʼia ia ia ʼae ʼe laupisi.+
