< Hapakuki 2 >
1 Te u tuʻu ʻi heʻeku leʻo, pea u nofo ʻi hoku fale leʻo, pea te u leʻo ke ʻilo pe ko e hā te ne folofola mai kiate au, pea ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ʻoka valokiʻi au.
2 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Tohi ʻae meʻa hā mai, pea fai ke ʻilongofua ia ʻi he ngaahi palepale, koeʻuhi ke faʻa lele ʻe ia ʻoku ne lau ia.
3 He ʻoku tuku ʻae meʻa hā mai ki ha kuonga kuo kotofa, pea ʻe lea ia ʻi he ngataʻanga, ka ʻe ʻikai loi: kapau ʻoku tuai ia, tatali ki ai, koeʻuhi ʻe hoko moʻoni ia, ʻe ʻikai tuai ia.
4 Vakai, ko ia ʻoku hiki hake ʻa hono laumālie, ʻoku ʻikai angatonu ia ʻiate ia ka ko e tonuhia ʻe moʻui ʻi heʻene tui.”
5 Ko e moʻoni, hangē ko e tangata ʻoku angahala ʻi he uaine, ʻoku fielahi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi hono ʻapi: ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻene holi ʻo hangē ko e faʻitoka, pea tatau mo e mate, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mākona, ka ʻoku tānaki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē: (Sheol )
6 ʻE ʻikai toʻo hake ʻekinautolu ni kotoa pē ʻae lea fakatātā kiate ia, pea mo e lea taukae kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana! ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa? Pea kiate ia ʻoku fakamamafa ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ʻumea matolu!’
7 ʻIkai ʻe tuʻu hake fakafokifā ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻuusi koe, pea ʻā ʻaia ʻe fakaʻitaʻi koe, pea ʻe hoko koe ko e vetea kiate kinautolu?
8 Koeʻuhi kuo ke fakamālohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ʻe fakamālohiʻi koe ʻe he toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai; koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻoe kakai, mo e fakamālohi ki he fonua, mo e kolo, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.
9 Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku manumanu ki he koloa kovi ki hono fale, koeʻuhi ke ne ngaohi hono pununga ʻi he māʻolunga, koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi ia mei he mālohi ʻoe kovi!
10 Kuo ke filioʻi ʻae fakamā ki ho fale ʻi he tuʻusi ʻoe kakai tokolahi, pea kuo ke angahala ki ho laumālie.
11 ʻE tangi ʻae maka mei he ʻā, pea ʻe tali ia ʻe he ʻakau alanga fale.
12 Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku langa ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae toto, pea fokotuʻu ʻae kolo ʻi he angahala!
13 Vakai, ʻikai ʻoku meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae kakai maʻa e afi pe, pea mo e fakamamahiʻi ʻae kakai ʻekinautolu ʻi he vaʻinga moʻoni?
14 Koeʻuhi ʻe fakafonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻilo ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻae kilisi tahi ʻe he ngaahi vai.
15 “Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae inu kona ki hono kaungāʻapi, ʻa koe ʻoku tuku hoʻo hina kiate ia, pea ke fakakona foki ia, koeʻuhi ke ke sio ki heʻenau telefua!
16 Kuo fakapito ʻaki koe ʻae fakamā ko ho nāunau: ke ke inu foki, pea ʻe puke koe ʻi he tetetete mo e ofo lahi: ʻe ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ipu mei he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe fakalieliaʻi ho nāunau.
17 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻufiʻufi koe ʻe he mālohi ʻo Lepanoni, mo e fakamālohiʻi ʻoe fanga manu, ʻaia naʻe fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻoe kakai, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi ʻi he fonua, mo e kolo, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.
18 “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe fakatātā kuo tā, koeʻuhi ke tā ia ʻe he tufunga ʻo ia; pe ko e fakatātā haka, mo e akonaki loi, koeʻuhi ʻoku falala ʻae tufunga ki heʻene ngāue, ke ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua noa?
19 Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku pehē ki he ʻakau, ‘Ke ʻā;’ pe ki he maka noa, ‘Tuʻu hake; ʻe akonaki ia!’ Vakai, ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha mānava ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
20 Ka ʻoku ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga tapu ʻa Sihova: tuku ke longo pe ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono ʻao.
