VAHE 1

1 Ko e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻa ia naʻe hoko mai kia Sefanaia ko e foha ʻo Kusí, ko e foha ʻo Ketilaia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmlaia, ko e foha ʻo Hisikia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sosaia ko e foha ʻo ʻĀmoni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siutá.

2 Te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē mei he fonuá, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEikí.

3 Te u tutu ʻa e tangatá mo e manú; Te u tutu ʻa e fanga manupuna ʻo e langí, pea mo e fanga ika ʻo e tahí, pea mo e ngaahi tūkiaʻanga mo e kau fai angahalá; pea te u motuhi atu ʻa e tangatá mei he fonuá, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEikí.

4 Te u mafao atu foki hoku nimá ki Siuta, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalemá; pea te u motuhi atu ʻa e toenga ʻo Pealí mei he potú ni, pea mo e hingoa ʻoe kau Selimí fakataha mo e kau taulaʻeikí;

5 Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hū ki he taʻe-kai ʻo e langí ʻi he tumutumu ʻo e ngaahi falé; pea mo kinautolu ʻoku hū mo fuakava ki he ʻEikí, pea fuakava ʻe Malcham;

6 Pea ko kinautolu kuo tafoki mei he ʻEikí; pea mo kinautolu naʻe ʻikai kumi ki he ʻEikí, pe fehuʻi kiate ia.

7Puke hoʻo melinó ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki koe ʻOtuá: he ʻoku ofi ʻa e ʻaho ʻo e ʻEikí: he kuo teuteu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e feilaulaú, kuó ne lea ki heʻene kau fakaafé.

8 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e feilaulau ʻa e ʻEikí, te u tauteaʻi ʻa e kau pilinisí, pea mo e fānau ʻa e tuʻí, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo kofu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kofu faikehe.

9 ʻI he ʻaho tatau pē te u tauteaʻi ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku puna ʻi he matapā ʻo e matapaá, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafonu ʻa e ngaahi fale ʻo honau kau pulé ʻaki ʻa e fakamālohí mo e kākaá.

10 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEikí, ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e longoaʻa ʻo e tangi mei he matapā ʻo e iká, pea mo e ngala mei hono uá, mo e ʻauha lahi mei he ngaahi tafungofungá.

11 Ngala, ʻa kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Maktesh, he kuo tuʻusi hifo ʻa e kakai fefakatauʻaki kotoa pē; kokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fua ʻa e silivá ʻoku motuhi atu ʻa kinautolu.

12 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he taimi ko iá, te u fakatotolo ʻi Selūsalema ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi teʻelango, pea tauteaʻi ʻa e kau tangata kuo nofo ʻi honau fōmú: ʻa ia ʻoku nau pehē ʻi honau lotó, ʻE ʻikai fai lelei ʻa e ʻEikí, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fai kovi.

13 Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻenau ngaahi koloá ko ha konokona, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa honau ngaahi falé: te nau langa foki mo ha ngaahi fale, kae ʻikai nofoʻi ʻa kinautolu; pea te nau tō ʻa e ngaahi ngoue vainé, kae ʻikai inu ʻa hono uainé.

14 ʻOku ofi ʻa e fuʻu ʻaho lahi ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻoku ofi, pea ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo lahi, ʻio ʻa e leʻo ʻo e ʻaho ʻo e ʻEikí: ʻe kalanga mamahi ai ʻa e tangata mālohí.

15 Ko e ʻaho ko iá ko e ʻaho ʻo e houhau, ko ha ʻaho ʻo e faingataʻa mo e faingataʻa, ko ha ʻaho ʻo e fakaʻauha mo e fakaʻauha, ko ha ʻaho ʻo e fakapoʻuli mo e pulonga, ko ha ʻaho ʻo e ngaahi ʻao mo e fakapoʻuli matolu,

16 Ko ha ʻaho ʻo e talupite mo e hohaʻa ki he ngaahi kolo kuo ʻaaʻi, pea mo e ngaahi taua maʻolunga.

17 Pea te u ʻomi ʻa e mamahi ki he tangatá, ke nau ʻaʻeva ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata kuí, koeʻuhí kuo nau fai angahala ki he ʻEikí: pea ʻe lilingi honau totó ʻo hangē ko e efú, pea ʻe hangē honau kakanó ko e dung.

18 ʻE ʻikai lava ʻe heʻenau silivá pe ko ʻenau koulá ʻo fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e houhau ʻo e ʻEikí; ka ʻe keina ʻa e fonuá kotoa pē ʻe he afi ʻo ʻene meheká: he te ne ngaohi ke hoko vave ʻa e fakamaʻa ʻo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonuá.

3 Mou kumi ki he ʻEikí, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku angamalū ʻi he māmaní, ʻa ia kuo fai ʻene fakamāú; fekumi ki he māʻoniʻoní, fekumi ki he angamalū: koeʻuhí ke fufuuʻi koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e houhau ʻo e ʻEikí.

4 He ʻe liʻaki ʻa kasa, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa Ashkelon: te nau tekeʻi atu ʻa ʻAsatoti ʻi he hoʻata ʻo e hoʻataa, pea ʻe aka hake ʻa ʻEkoloni.

5 Malaʻia ʻ a ekakai ʻoku nofo ʻ i he matāfanga ʻ oe tahí, ʻ a e puleʻanga ʻ o e kau Selupí! ʻoku fepaki ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí mo kimoutolu; ʻE Kēnani, ʻa e fonua ʻo e kau Filisitiá, te u fakaʻauha ʻa kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai hanau nofoʻanga.

6 Pea ʻe hoko ʻa e matafanga ʻo e tahi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga mo e ngaahi fale maʻa e kau tauhisipi, mo e takanga maʻa e ngaahi takanga monumanu iki.

7 Pea ʻe hoko ʻa e matāfangá ki he toenga ʻo e fale ʻo Siutá; te nau kai ai: te nau tokoto hifo ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAsekeloní ʻi he efiafí: he ʻe ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻa e ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtuá, pea tekeʻi ʻa ʻenau nofo pōpulá.

8 Kuó u fanongo ki he manuki ʻa Mōapé, mo e ngaahi lauʻikovi ʻa e fānau ʻa ʻĀmoní, ʻa ia kuo nau manukiʻi ai ʻa hoku kakaí, mo fakamālohia ʻa kinautolu mei honau kauʻāfonuá.

9 Ko ia, hangē ʻoku ou moʻuí, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEiki ʻo e ngaahi kau taú, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, Ko e moʻoni ʻe tatau ʻa Mōape mo Sōtoma, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻĀmoni ʻo hangē ko Komolá, ʻioʻa hono fakatupu ʻo e ngaahi nettles, mo e masima, mo e fakaʻauha tuʻuloa: ʻe maumauʻi kinautolu ʻe he toenga ʻo hoku kakaí, pea ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toenga ʻo hoku kakaí.

10 Te nau maʻu ʻeni koeʻuhi ko ʻenau loto-hīkisiá, koeʻuhí kuo nau manukiʻi mo fakamālohiʻi ʻa kinautolu ki he kakai ʻo e ʻEiki ʻo e ngaahi kau taú

11 ʻE fakamanavahē ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolu: he te ne fakaʻauha ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní; pea ʻe hū ʻa e kakaí kiate ia, ʻa e kakai taki taha mei hono potú, ʻio ʻa e ngaahi motu kotoa ʻo e kau hītení.

12 ʻA kimoutolu foki, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku heletaá.

13 Pea te ne mafao atu hono nimá ki he tokelaú, pea fakaʻauha ʻa ʻAsilia; pea te ne ngaohi ʻa Ninive ko e fakaʻauha, pea mōmoa ʻo hangē ha feituʻu maomaonganoá.

14 Pea ʻe tokoto hifo ʻa e ngaahi tākanga monumanu īkí ʻi hono lotolotongá, ʻa e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá: ʻe nofo fakatouʻosi ʻa e cormorant mo e bittern ʻi he lintels ʻi ʻolunga; ʻe hiva honau leʻó ʻi he ngaahi matapā sioʻatá; ʻe ʻi he huʻanga ʻa e fakaʻauha: he te ne fakaʻata ʻa e ngaue Sita.

15 Ko e kolo fiefia ʻeni naʻe nofo taʻetokanga, ʻa ia naʻe pehē ʻi hono lotó, Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻi hoku tafaʻakí: ʻoku anga fēfē ʻene hoko ko ha fakaʻauha, ko ha potu ke tokoto ai ʻa e fanga manú! ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fakalaka ʻiate iá te ne sisī, pea fakapōpōʻi hono nimá.

5 ʻOku ʻi honau lotolotongá ʻa e ʻEiki angatonú; ʻe ʻikai te ne fai angahala: ko e pongipongi kotoa pē ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻa ʻene fakamāú ki he māmá, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻau ʻo ngata; ka ʻoku ʻikai fakamaaʻi ʻa e taʻeangatonú.

6 Kuó u tuʻusi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá: pea lala honau ngaahi tauá; Naʻá ku fakaʻauha honau ngaahi halá, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakalaka ai: kuo fakaʻauha honau ngaahi koló, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha tangata, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe nofo ai.

8 Ko ia ke mou tatali kiate au, ʻoku folofola ʻe he ʻEikí, kae ʻoua ke aʻu ki he ʻaho te u tuʻu hake ai ʻo moʻulaloá: he ko ʻeku fakapapau ke tānaki ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá, ke u fakatahatahaʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá, ke lilingi hifo kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku ʻitá, ʻio ʻa ʻeku ʻita kakahá kotoa pē: he ʻe keina ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻaki ʻa e afi ʻo ʻeku meheká.

9 He te u toki liliu ki he kakaí ha lea ʻoku maʻa, koeʻuhí ke nau ui kotoa pē ki he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí, ke nau ngāue maʻana ʻi he loto-taha.

10 ʻE ʻomi ʻe heʻeku ngaahi kolé mei he ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ʻItiopeá ʻa ʻeku ngaahi kolé, ʻa ia ko e
