11 Ko ia, ʻe toe foki mai ʻa e ^akakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe he ʻEikí, pea haʻu mo e ^bhiva ki Saione; pea ʻe ʻi honau ʻulú ʻa e fiefia taʻengata mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea te nau maʻu ʻa e fiefia mo e nēkeneka; ʻe hola meiate kinautolu ʻa e mamahí mo e ^ctangí.

13 Pea kuó ke ^afakangaloʻi ʻa e ʻEiki ko ho tupuʻangá, ʻa ia kuó ne fofola ʻa e ngaahi langí, pea fokotuʻu mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e māmaní, pea kuó ke manavahē maʻu ai pē ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e ʻita ʻa e tokotaha fakamālohí, ʻo hangē kuó ne teuteu ke fakaʻauha koé? Pea ko e fē ʻa e ʻita ʻa e tokotaha fakamālohi

14 ʻOku fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa e pōpula koeʻuhi ke tukuange vave ia, pea ʻikai te ne mate ʻi he luo, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻosi ʻene maá.

15 Ka ko au ko e ʻEiki ko ho ʻOtuá, ʻa ia naʻá ku ngaohi ʻa e ngaahi ^apeau ʻo e tahí ke ʻuʻulu; ko e ʻEiki ʻo e Ngaahi Kau Taú ʻa hoku hingoá.

16 Pea kuó u ʻai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá ki ho ngutú, pea kuó u ʻufiʻufi koe ʻi he malumalu ʻo hoku nimá, koeʻuhi ke u fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi langí pea fokotuʻu mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e māmaní, pea lea ki Saione: Vakai, ko hoku ^akakai koe.

17 ʻĀ hake, ʻā hake, tuʻu hake, ʻE Selūsalema, ʻa koe kuo inu mei he toʻukupu ʻo e ʻEikí ʻa e ^aipu ʻo hono ^bhouhaú—kuó ke inu ʻa e meʻa kuo toka ʻi he ipu ʻo e tautea fakamamahi ʻa ia kuo tatau.

18 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke fakahinohinoʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi foha kotoa pē kuó ne fanauʻí; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke ne tataki ia ʻaki hono nimá, ʻi he ngaahi foha kotoa pe kuó ne tauhí.

19 ʻOku haʻu kiate koe ʻa e ongo ^afohá ni, ʻa ia ʻe ʻofa mamahi kiate koe—ko ho maumauʻí mo e fakaʻauhá mo e hongé pea mo e heletaá—pea te u fakafiemālieʻi koe ʻia hai?

20 Kuo pongia ʻa ho ngaahi fohá, tuku kehe pē ʻa kinauá ni; ʻokú na tokoto ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e ngaahi hala kotoa pē; ʻo hangē ko ha pulu tangata hehengi ʻi ha kupenga; ʻokú na fonu ʻi he houhau ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻa e valoki ʻa ho ʻOtuá.

21 Ko ia, fanongo ki he meʻá ni, ʻa koe kuo fakamamahiʻi mo ^akonā kae ʻikai ʻi he uainé.

22 ʻOku folofola peheni ʻa ho ʻEikí, ʻoku ^ataukapoʻi ʻe he ʻEiki mo ho ʻOtuá ʻa hono kakaí; vakai, kuó u toʻo atu mei ho nimá ʻa e ipu ʻo e tautea fakamamahí, ʻa e toka ʻi he ipu ʻo hoku houhaú; ʻe ʻikai te ke toe inu ia.

23 Kā te ^au ʻai ia ki he nima ʻo kinautolu ʻoku fakamamahiʻi koé; ʻa ia kuo nau pehē ki ho laumālié: Punou hifo, ka mau laka atu—pea kuó ke tuku ʻa ho sinó ʻo hangē ko e kelekele, pea hangē ko e hala kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu.

24 ^aʻĀ hake, ʻā hake, ʻai ho ^bmālohí, ʻE ^cSaione; ʻai ho ngaahi kofu matamataleleí, ʻE Selūsalema, ko e kolo māʻoniʻoní; koeʻuhi ʻe ngata mei heni ʻe ^dʻikai toe hū kiate koe ʻa e taʻekamú mo e taʻemaʻá.

25 Tupeʻi atu ʻa e efú meiate koe; ^atuʻu hake, nofo hifo, ʻE Selūsalema; vete koe mei he ngaahi ^bhaʻi ʻo ho kiá, ʻE ʻofefine pōpula ʻo Saione.
