1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Sofaa mei Neama, ʻo ne pehē,
A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara ka Naamata, i aku la,
2 “ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke tali ʻae ngaahi lea lahi ni? Pea ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻae tangata faʻa lau?
Aole anei e pono ke pane aku i na huaolelo he nui la? E hoaponoia anei ke kanaka lehelehe wale?
3 ‌ʻE fakalongoʻi ʻae kakai ʻe hoʻo ngaahi loi? Pea ʻi hoʻo manuki, ʻe ʻikai fakamā koe ʻe ha taha?
E paa anei ka waha o kanaka i kou kaena wale ana? A hoomaewaewa mai oe, aole anei he mea nana oe e hoohilahila aku?
4 He kuo ke pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku totonu pē, pea ʻoku ou maʻa ʻi ho ʻao.’
A ua olelo mai oe, he maemae kuu olelo, A ua hala ole au i kou mau maka.
5 Kae taumaiā ke folofola mai ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne faʻai hono fofonga kiate koe;
Ina paha e olelo mai ke Akua, A e wehe ae i kona lehelehe ia oe;
6 Pea ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe poto, he ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku hā mai! Ko ia ke ke ʻilo, ʻoku siʻi ʻae totongi ʻoku ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa ʻoku taau mo hoʻo angahia.
A e hoike mai oia ia oe i na mea huna o ka naauao, Ua papalua ka maiau! Alaila e ike auanei oe, E hoopoina mai no ke Akua i na hewa ou.
7 “He te ke ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he faʻa ʻeke? He te ke faʻa kumi ke ʻilo haohaoa ʻae Māfimafi?
E loaa anei ia oe ka ke Akua mau mea hohonu? E loaa pololei loa anei ia oe ka Mea mana?
8 ‌ʻOku māʻolunga ia ʻo hangē ko e langi; ko e hā ʻaʻau te ke fai? ʻOku māʻulalo hifo ʻi heli; te ke faʻa ʻilo ʻae hā? (Sheol h7585)
Ua kiekie ia e like me ka lani; heaha kau e hana ai? Ua oi kona hohonu i ko ka po; heaha kau e ike ai? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ko hono fuofua ʻoku lōloa lahi ʻi he māmani, pea lau lahi ia ʻi he tahi.
Ua oi kona loa mamua o ko ka honua, A o ka laula imua o ko ke kai.
10 Kapau ʻe tuʻusi ʻe ia, pe tāpuni ke maʻu, pe tānaki fakataha, ʻe taʻofi ia ʻe hai?
Ina e hopu mai ia, a hoopaa iho, a hookolokolo, Alaila owai la ka mea e keakea ia ia?
11 He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae kakai vale: ʻoku ne vakai foki ki he fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi?
No ka mea, ua ike no ia i ka poe hewa, Ua nana mai hoi ia i ka hala; Aole anei ia e ike mai?
12 He ʻoku fie poto ʻae tangata vale, neongo ʻoku fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi kai vao.
E ake ke kanaka naaupo i akamai, O ke kanaka i hanau nae me he keiki la a ka hoki hihiu.
13 “Kapau te ke teu ho loto, pea mafao atu ho nima kiate ia;
Ina e hoomakaukau oe i kou naau, A e kikoo aku i kou mau lima io na la;
14 Kapau ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae angahala, siʻaki ia ke mamaʻo, pea ʻoua naʻa nofo ʻae kovi ʻi ho ngaahi fale.
Ina he hewa iloko o kou lima, e hoolei loa aku ia; A mai ae e noho ka hewa ma kou mau halelewa.
15 He ko ia te ke toki hanga hake ai ho mata ʻo taʻehanoʻila; ʻio, te ke tuʻumaʻu, ʻo ʻikai manavahē:
Alaila e hoala ae oe i kou maka me ke kina ole; A e ku paa no oe, aole hoi e makau:
16 He te ke fakangaloʻi hoʻo mamahi, ʻo manatuʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vai kuo tafe atu:
No ka mea, e hoopoina no oe i ka ehaeha, A e hoomanao ia mea, e like me ka wai i kahe aku:
17 Pea ʻe ʻāsinisini lahi hoʻo motuʻa ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻoe ʻaho; te ke ulo atu, te ke tatau mo e pongipongi.
A e kupaa kou ola loa ana, e like me ke awakea; Ano ua pouli oe, alaila e like no oe me ke kakahiaka.
18 Pea te ke fiemālie koe, he ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei; ʻio, te ke keli, ʻo mālōlō fiemālie pe.
A e maluhia oe, no ka mea, he mea no e laua ai ka manao; Ano ua poho ka manao, aka, alaila, e noho maluhia oe.
19 Pea te ke tokoto foki, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi koe ʻe ha taha; ʻio, ʻe kumi meʻa meiate koe ʻe he tokolahi.
A e moe iho oe ilalo, aohe mea nana oe e hoomakau mai; A nui na mea e hoalohaloha imua ou.
20 Ka ʻe vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hao, pea ko e ifi ʻoe mānava ʻa ʻenau ʻamanaki.”
Aka, e pio na maka o ka poe hewa, A ua nele lakou i ka puuhonua, A o ko lakou manaolana, o ke kuu ana no ia o ka uhane.
