1 ʻOku tetetete ʻa Hapakuki ʻi heʻene lotu koeʻuhi ko e māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua 17 Ko e mālohi ʻo ʻene tui
1 Ko e lotu ʻa Hapakuki ko e palōfita ʻi he Sikaiona.
2 ‌ʻE Sihova, kuo u fanongo ki hoʻo folofola,
pea ne u manavahē: ʻE Sihova,
fakaakeake hoʻo ngāue ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu,
fakahā ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu;
ʻi he houhau, manatu ki he ʻaloʻofa.
3 Naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua mei Timani,
mo e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni mei he moʻunga ko Palani.
Sila.
Naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻae ngaahi langi ʻe hono nāunau,
pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hono fakamālō.
4 Pea naʻe malama ia ʻo hangē ko e maama;
naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae maama ulo mei hono nima: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakafufū ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
5 Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha,
pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono vaʻe ʻae maka fefie ʻoku vela.
6 Naʻe tuʻu ia, ʻo fuofua ʻae fonua:
naʻa ne ʻafioʻi, mo fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga;
naʻe fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi moʻunga taʻengata,
naʻe ofeʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga tuʻumaʻu:
ʻoku taʻengata ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
7 Naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻi he mamahi ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Kusani:
pea naʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi puipui ʻoe fonua ko Mitiane.
8 Naʻe mamahi ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi vaitafe?
Naʻa ke houhau ki he ngaahi vaitafe?
Naʻe ʻi he tahi ʻa ho tuputāmaki,
koeʻuhi naʻa ke heka ai ʻi hoʻo fanga hoosi,
mo hoʻo ngaahi saliote ʻoe fakamoʻui?
9 Naʻe toʻo ʻo teke ʻa hoʻo kaufana,
ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fuakava ki he ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻio, ko hoʻo folofola.
Sila.
Naʻa ke fahifahi ʻaki ʻae fonua ʻae ngaahi vaitafe.
10 Naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea nau tetetete ai:
naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fetafeaki ʻoe vai:
naʻe fakahā ʻe he moana ʻa hono leʻo, pea hiki hake hono nima ki ʻolunga.
11 Naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā, mo e māhina ʻi hona nofoʻanga:
naʻe ʻalu atu hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi hona maama,
pea ʻi he ulo ho tao ngingila.
12 Naʻa ke hāʻele atu ʻi he fonua, ʻi he tuputāmaki,
naʻa ke haha ʻae hiteni ʻi ho houhau.
13 Naʻa ke meʻa atu koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoʻo kakai,
ʻio, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoʻo kau pani:
naʻa ke taaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻi he fale ʻoe angakovi,
naʻa ke fakaʻauha hono tuʻunga, ʻo aʻu ki he maka.
Sila.
14 Naʻa ke hokaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻo ʻene kautau, mei hono ngaahi faʻahinga:
naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio ke fakamovete au:
ko ʻenau fiefiaʻanga ia, ke keina ʻae masiva ʻi he fufū.
15 Naʻa ke hāʻele atu mo hoʻo fanga hoosi ʻi he tahi,
ʻi he fokotuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi.
16 ‌ʻI heʻeku fanongo ki ho leʻo, naʻe ngalulu hoku fatu;
naʻe tetetete hoku ngutu ʻi ho leʻo:
naʻe hū ʻae popo ki hoku ngaahi hui, pea u tetetete ʻiate au;
ka te u mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi: ʻoka hoko hake ia ki he kakai,
te ne hoko mo ʻene ngaahi kautau, kiate kinautolu.
17 Neongo ʻene ʻikai fisi ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki,
pea ʻe ʻikai ha fua ʻi he ngaahi vaine;
pea kovi ʻae tupu ʻoe ʻolive,
pea ʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ha meʻakai;
pea ʻe motuhi ʻae fanga sipi mei he lotoʻā,
pea ʻe ʻikai ha fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga:
18 Ka neongo ia te u fiefia ʻia Sihova,
pea u nekeneka ʻi he ʻOtua ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.
19 Ko ʻeku mālohi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua,
pea te ne ngaohi hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe hainite,
pea te ne pule ke u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
Ki heʻeku takimuʻa ʻoe fasi hiva ʻi he Nekina.
