¶ 1 A MUJIAAGE e au kuo ke tatau mo ha tuogaane kiate au, aia nae fakahuhu i he ogo huhu o eku fa‘e! koeuhi o kau ka ilo koe ituaa, keu uma kiate koe, o ikai ma ai.

2 Ka ne behe, teu tataki koe mo omi koe ki he fale o eku fa‘e, bea te ne ako kiate au: teu fakainu koe i he uaine namu lelei kuo hui aki e au ae huhua melie oe bomikanite.

3 Bea e i lalo i hoku ulu a hono nima toohema, bea fāufua au e hono nima toomatau.

4 E gaahi ofefine o Jelusalema, oku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ke oua naa mou ue‘i be fafagu a hoku ofaaga, kae oua ke faiteliha be ia.

5 Kohai eni oku ha‘u mei he toafa, oku faaki kiate ia oku ne ofa ai? naaku hiki hake koe i he lolo moli: nae fanau‘i koe i ai e hoo fa‘e, nae fanau‘i i ai koe eia naa ne faele‘i koe.

¶ 6 Ai au ki ho loto o hage koe fakamau o ha tohi, bea hage koe mama ki ho nima; he oku malohi ae ofa o tatau moe mate; oku ogogataa ae fuaa o hage koe faitoka: ko hono malala oku hage koe malala‘i afi, aia oku ulo kakaha.

11 Nae ia Solomone ae goue vaine i Bealihamone: bea naa ne tuku ene goue vaine ki he kau tauhi: bea nae fekau ke omi taki taha ae koga siliva e afe, koe totogi ki hono gaahi fua.

12 Oku i hoku ao a eku goue vaine aaku: bea ko koe e Solomone, te ke ma‘u mei ai ae koga siliva e afe, kae tuku kiate kinautolu oku tauhi hono fua ae uageau.

13 Akoe oku nofo i he gaahi goue, bea oku ogo‘i ho le‘o e ho kaiga: tuku au foki keu fanogo ai.
