1 A UWE ke kulanakauhale koko! Ua piha oia a pau i ka wahahee, a me ka powa; Aole e laweia'ku ke pio;
Malaʻia ki he kolo pani toto! ʻOku pito kotoa pē ia ʻi he ngaahi loi mo e kaihaʻa; ʻoku ʻikai ke mahuʻi [mei ai ]ʻa ia kuo fakamālohia;
2 O ka poha o ka huipa, a o ka halulu o ke kaa ana o na kaa, A o ka holo ana o na lio, a o ka lele ana o na halekaa.
Ko e pā ʻoe meʻa tā, mo e longoaʻa mo e ngatata ʻoe ngaahi vaʻe saliote, pea mo e fanga hoosi, pea mo e hopohopo ʻae ngaahi saliote.
3 Kaikai ae ka hoohololio i ka pahikaua wakawaka a me ka ihe huali; A he nui ka poe i pepehiia, a he nui na kupapau; Aohe hope o na heana, A hina lakou maluna o ko lakou mau heana.
‌ʻOku hiki hake ʻe he tangata heka hoosi ʻae heletā ngingila mo e tao ngingila foki; ʻoku tokolahi ʻaupito ʻae haʻanga, pea ʻoku tokolahi ʻae ʻangaʻanga; pea taʻefaʻalaua honau kakai mate; ʻoku nau humu ki honau ngaahi ʻangaʻanga:
4 No ka nui o na moe kolohe ana o ka wahine maikai hookamakama, Nona na anaana. Ka mea kuai i na lahuikanaka ma kona moe kolohe ana, A me na ohana, ma kona mau anaana ana;
Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi feʻauaki lahi ʻaupito ʻae muitau hoihoifua, ʻae fineʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi mana loi, ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi heʻene faʻa feʻauaki, mo e ngaahi faʻahinga kakai ʻi heʻene mana loi.
5 Aia hoi, ua maka e aku au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; A e huli ae au i kou kapa maluna o kou maka, A e hoike aku au i kou olohelohe ana i na lahuikanaka, A i kou hilahila i na aupuni.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe; pea te u fakahā ho ngaahi tapaʻi kofu ʻi ho mata, pea te u fakahā ho telefua ki he ngaahi faʻahinga kakai, mo ho mā ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.
6 A e hoolei aku au maluna ou i na mea haumia, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mea e manao ole ia, A e hooku au ia oe i mea e makaikaiia.
Pea te u lī ʻae meʻa fakalielia kiate koe, mo fakaʻuliʻi koe, pea fokotuʻu koe, ko e siofiaʻanga.
7 A o na mea a pau e nana aku ia oe, Holo no lakou mai ou aku la, me ka i ana aku, Ua lukuia o Nineva! Owai la ka mea e auwe ia ia? A mahea la wau e imi aku ai i na mea hooluolu nou?
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻilonga ʻakinautolu ʻoku sio kiate koe, te nau hola meiate koe, mo nau pehē, ‘Kuo fakalala ʻa Ninive: ko hai ʻe tēngihia ia?’ Te u kumi mei fē ha kau fakafiemālie kiate koe?”
8 Ua oi anei kou maikai mamua o ko No-Amona, Ka mea e noho ana ma na muliwai, Ua hoopuniia oia e na wai, O ke kai kona paku, a o kona papohaku mai ke kai mai ia?
‌ʻOku ke lelei koā ʻia No, ʻaia naʻe kakai, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, ʻaia naʻe takatakai ʻe he ngaahi vai, ʻaia ko hono puke ko e tahi, mo hono ʻā naʻe mei he tahi?
9 O Aitiopa kona ikaika a me Aigupita, aohe heluia; O Puta a me Lubima kou mau mea kokua.
Ko hono mālohiʻanga ʻa ʻItiopea mo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe taʻefaʻalaua ia; ko ho kau tokoni ʻa Puti mo Lupimi.
10 Aka, ua laweia'ku oia, ua hele pio aku ia; A ua ulupaia kana mau keiki liilii ma ke poo o na alanui a pau: A hailona lakou no kona poe kanaka hanohano, A ua hoopaaia kona mau kanaka nui a pau i na kaulahao.
Ka naʻe ʻave ia, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he pōpula: naʻe laiki foki ʻa ʻene fānau valevale ʻi he muʻa hala ʻoe ngaahi hala kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau talotalo ki heʻene kau mātuʻa, mo hono houʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi.
11 A e ona no hoi oe, a e hunaia oe; A e imi no oe i ka ikaika no ka poe enemi.
Ko koe foki te ke kona, ʻe fakafufū koe, ko koe foki te ke kumi mālohi koeʻuhi ko e fili.
12 A e like kou mau wahi paa me ka laau fiku, me ka hua pala mua, Ina e hooluliia, e haule iho lakou iloko o ka waha o ka mea e ai ana.
‌ʻE tatau hoʻo ngaahi potu mālohi mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hoʻo ʻuluaki toʻukai; ka lulululu, ʻe tō, ʻio, ki he ngutu ʻo ia ʻoku kai.
13 Aia hoi, o kou poe kanaka iwaena ou, ua like me na wahine; A e hoohamama loa ia na pukapa o kou aina i kou poe enemi; A e hoopau ke ahi i kou mau kaola.
Vakai ko hoʻo kakai ʻoku ʻiate koe, ko e kau fefine; ʻe fakaava ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻo ho fonua ki ho ngaahi fili; ʻe kai ʻe he afi ʻa ho ngaahi songo.
14 E hukiwai ae nou, no ka popilikia, E hoopaa oe i kou mau wahi paa; E komo oe iloko o ka lepo, a e hehi iho i ka lepo kawili, A e hoopaa i kahi puhi pohaku-ula.
Utu hoʻo vai ki he tau, teuteu hoʻo ngaahi kolo tau: ʻalu ki he ʻumea, pea malaki ʻae lahe, ngaohi ke mālohi ʻae taʻoʻanga ʻumea.
15 Malaila e hoopau ai ke ahi ia oe; E oki mai ka pahikaua ia oe, E ai iho no ia ia oe, e like me ka uhini huluhulu: E hoomahuahua ia oe iho e like me ka uhini huluhulu; Hoonui ia oe iho e like me ka uhini nui.
‌ʻE kai koe ʻe he afi ʻi ai; ʻe motuhi koe ʻe he heletā, te ne kai koe ke ʻosi hangē ko e ʻunufe; fakatokolahi koe ʻo hangē ko e ʻunufe, fakatokolahi koe ke hangē ko e heʻe.
16 Ua hoonui oe i kou poe kalepa mamua o na hoku o ka lani: Hoopalahalaha aku ka uhini huluhulu, a lele aku la.
Ko hoʻo kau tangata fakatau kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi: ʻoku fai ʻae maumau ʻe he ʻunufe, pea ne puna atu.
17 Ua like kou poe alii me na uhini, A o kou poe lunakoa e like me na uhini nui loa, Ka mea e kau ana ma ka papohaku i ka la anu, A puka mai ka la, lele aku lakou, aole i ikeia ko lakou wahi.
‌ʻOku tatau ho ngaahi tuʻi mo e fanga heʻe, mo hoʻo kau pule mo e fanga heʻe lalahi, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻi he ʻaho momoko, ka ka hopo hake ʻae laʻā ʻoku nau puna atu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻilo ʻa honau potu pe ʻoku nau ʻi fē.
18 Ke hiamoe nei kou poe kahuhipa, e ke alii o Asuria: E noho iho kou poe alii; Ua hoopuehuia kou poe kanaka ma na mauna, Aohe mea nana lakou e hoakoakoa mai.
‌ʻOku mohe hoʻo kau tauhi, ʻe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: ʻe nofo hoʻo ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he efu: kuo movetevete ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne tānaki kinautolu.
19 Aohe mea hoola i kou eha ana; ua nui kou eha; O ka poe a pau e lohe i kou lono, e paipai lakou i ko lakou lima maluna ou; No ka mea, maluna owai anei i hele mau ole aku ai kou hewa?
‌ʻOku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ki ho volu; ʻoku lahi ho lavea; ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe fanongo ki hoʻo ongoongo, te nau pasi nima kiate koe: he ko hai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ke hoko ki ai hoʻo angahala maʻuaipē?
