Hiva ʼa Salomone
8 “Ka na pau la neʼe ke hage ko toku tokolua,
ʼAe neʼe fafaga e taku faʼe,
ʼE feala ai anai ke au ʼumaʼi koe moka ʼe ta felaveʼi ʼi tuʼa+
ʼO mole meʼa noaʼi ai au e he tahi.
ʼE au foaki atu anai ke ke inu he vino magoni,
Mo he huʼa fuaʼi kelenate neʼe hoki fai.
3 ʼE ʼuluga anai toku ʼulu ki tona nima hema,
Pea ʼe ina ʼaofi anai au ʼaki tona nima mataʼu.+
4 ʼE au kole atu ke kotou fakapapau ʼu taʼahine ʼo Selusalemi:
ʼAua naʼa kotou uga ke au manako kae ʼe heʼeki au logoʼi.”+
5 “Ko ai te fafine ʼae ʼe hake mai te toafa,
ʼAe ʼe tapiki ki tona ʼofaina?”
“Neʼe au fafagu ia koe ʼi te lalo fuʼu pome.
Neʼe fanauʼi ai koe e tau faʼe.
Pea neʼe ke sio ai ki te malama ʼo te ʼaho.
6 Tohi au ohage ko he fakailoga ʼi tou mafu,
Ohage ko he fakailoga ʼi tou nima,
Koteʼuhi ʼe malohi te ʼofa ohage ko te mate,+
Pea ʼe malohi te agatonu ohage ko te Faitoka.*
ʼE ulo ohage ko he afi kakaha, ko he afi mai ia Sehova.*+
7 ʼE mole feala ki te ʼu vai ʼae ʼe hou ke natou taʼofi te ʼofa,+
Pea ʼe mole feala ke ʼave e te ʼu vai tafe.+
Kapau ʼe foaki e he tagata te ʼu koloa fuli ʼo tona ʼapi moʼo totogi ʼo te ʼofa,
ʼE meʼa noaʼi ʼosi anai te ʼu koloa ʼaia.”*
8 “ ʼE ʼi ai tomatou kiʼi tokolua,+
Heʼeki ʼi ai hona ʼu fatafata.
Kotea anai ka matou fai ʼo ʼuhiga mo ia,
ʼI te ʼaho ʼae ʼe koleʼi ai e he tahi ke nā ʼohoana?”
9 “Kapau ko he kaupa,
ʼE matou faʼu anai ki ai ni ʼa siliva.
Kae kapau ko he matapa,
ʼE matou pupunu anai ʼaki he lauʼi papa sete.”
10 “Ko au ko he kaupa,
Pea ʼe hage ʼoku fatafata ko he ʼu tule.
Koia ʼe feala ai ke sio
ʼE tokalelei toku ʼatamai.
11 Neʼe ʼi ai te gaueʼaga vite ʼa Salomone+ ʼi Paale-hamone.
Neʼe ina tuku age tana gaueʼaga vite ki ni tagata gaue kele.
Neʼe natou tahi totogi piesi siliva ʼe afe ki te ʼu fuaʼi ʼakau ʼae neʼe toli.
12 ʼE ʼi ai taku gaueʼaga vite pea ʼe au faʼifaʼitaliha ki ai.
ʼE ʼa koe, Salomone, te ʼu piesi siliva ʼae ʼe afe,
Pea ko foʼi piesi ʼe luageau maʼa natou ʼae ʼe tokakaga ki te ʼu fuaʼi vite.”
13 “Ia koe ʼae ʼe nofo ʼi te ʼu ʼoloto,+
ʼE fia logo te ʼu kaumeʼa ki tou leʼo.
ʼE au fia logo mo au ki tou leʼo.”+
14 “Fakavilivili, siʼoku ʼofaina,
Ke ke lele vave ohage ko he tia,+
Ohage ko he ʼuhiʼi tia
ʼI te ʼu moʼuga ʼae ʼe maʼuʼuli ai te ʼu ʼakau fakamagoni.”
