1–15 ʻOku valoki mo naʻinaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angakovi mo e tauhi tamapua.
1 Ko e vaine mōmoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻoku ne fua mai kiate ia pe:
ʻo fakatatau ki he lahi ʻo hono fua kuo ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga;
ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei ʻo hono fonua kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua masani.
2 Kuo mavahevahe honau loto;
ko eni, ʻe ʻilo kuo nau hala:
te ne lī hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga,
pea maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi tamapua.
3 He te nau pehē ni, “ʻOku ʻikai hamau tuʻi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau manavahē kia Sihova;
pea ko e hā ʻe fai maʻamautolu ʻe ha tuʻi?”
4 Kuo nau lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo tuki loi ʻi he fai ʻae fuakava:
ko ia kuo tupu ʻae fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hemiloki ʻi he luoluo ʻoe ngoue.
5 ʻE manavahē ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi pulu siʻi ʻa Pete-ʻAveni:
ʻe tangilāulau ai ʻae kakai ʻo ia,
mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe fiefia ai,
koeʻuhi ko hono nāunau, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahuʻi mei ai.
6 ʻE ʻave ia foki ki ʻAsilia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ko Salepi:
ʻe hoko ʻae mā kia ʻIfalemi,
pea ʻe mā ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
7 Ka ko Samēlia, ʻe tapipi hono tuʻi,
ʻo hangē ko e koā mei he fukahi vai.
8 ʻE ʻauha foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAveni, ko e angahala ʻa ʻIsileli:
ko e ʻakau talatala mo e tiseli ʻe tupu hake ʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga;
pea te nau lea ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “ʻUfiʻufi kimautolu;” pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, ʻo pehē, “Taʻomia kimautolu.”
9 “ʻE ʻIsileli, kuo ke angahala talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea:
naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi ai:
ko e tau ʻi Kipea ki he fānau ʻae angahia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu.
10 ʻOku ʻi heʻeku holi ke tautea ʻakinautolu;
pea ʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu,
ʻoka nau ka haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻena ongo luo.
11 Ko ʻIfalemi ko e pulu mui kuo akonekina, ʻoku manako ke malaki ʻae koane:
ka naʻaku laka ʻi hono kia matamatalelei:
te u ngaohi ʻa ʻIfalemi ke heka;
ʻe toho huo ʻa Siuta,
pea momosi hono kelekele fefeka ʻe Sēkope.
12 Tūtuuʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he angatonu,
utu ʻi he ʻaloʻofa,
fakamolū ʻae kelekele;
ʻoku tuku vaoa he ko e kuonga eni ke kumi kia Sihova,
kaeʻoua ke ne hāʻele mai, pea fakaʻuha ʻae māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
13 Kuo mou keli ʻaki ʻae huo toho ʻi he angakovi,
kuo mou utu ʻi he angahia;
kuo mou kai ʻae fua ʻoe loi:
koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki ho hala, mo hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau tangata mālohi.
14 Ko ia ʻe tupu ʻae maveuveu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai,
pea ʻe maumauʻi ho ngaahi kolo tau,
hangē naʻe maumauʻi ʻe Salimani ʻa Peteapeli ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau:
naʻe lailai ʻae faʻē mo feleteni mo ʻene fānau.
15 ʻE pehē ʻae fai ʻe Peteli kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi angakovi lahi:
ʻi ha pongipongi pe ʻe mātuʻaki tuʻusi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
