1 Samuela 2

1 Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻAna, ʻo pehē,

"ʻOku fiefia hoku loto ʻia Sihova,

ʻoku fakahikihiki hoku mālohi ʻia Sihova;

kuo mafaʻa hoku ngutu ki hoku ngaahi fili;

ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.

2 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko Sihova:

he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha mo koe: pea ʻoku ʻikai foki ha makatuʻu ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua.

3 ‌ʻOua naʻa toe talanoa fakafiefielahi faufau pehē;

ʻoua naʻa hā mai ʻae lea mālohi mei ho ngutu:

he ko e ʻOtua ʻoe loto ʻa Sihova,

pea ʻoku ʻekeʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi faianga.

4 Kuo fesiʻi ʻae ngaahi kaufana ʻae kau tangata mālohi,

pea ko kinautolu naʻe tūkia kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae mālohi.

5 Ko kinautolu naʻe mākona kuo nau fakamoʻua ʻakinautolu ke ngāue ki he meʻakai;

pea kuo ngata ʻakinautolu naʻe fiekaia:

pea kuo fanauʻi ʻae toko fitu ʻe he paʻa;

pea ko ia kuo tokolahi ʻene fānau kuo hoko ʻo vaivai.

6 ‌ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamoʻui:

ʻoku ne ʻohifo ki he faʻitoka, pea ʻoku ne toe ʻo hake.

7 ‌ʻOku fakamasiva ʻe Sihova, pea ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi:

ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa, mo ne hiki ki ʻolunga.

8 ‌ʻOku ne hiki hake ʻae masiva mei he efu,

ʻo fakahikihiki ʻae faʻa kole mei he tuʻunga veve,

ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu mo e houʻeiki,

pea ke ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki:

he ko e ngaahi pou ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻo Sihova,

pea kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa māmani ki ai.

9 ‌ʻE tauhi ʻe ia ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni,

pea ʻe longo pe ʻae kau angakovi ʻi he poʻuli;

koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ha meʻa ʻe ha tangata ʻi he mālohi.

10 ‌ʻE fesifesiʻi ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova;

ʻe mana ʻe ia kiate kinautolu mei langi:

"ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani;

pea ʻe foaki ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ki heʻene tuʻi,

pea ne fakahikihiki ʻae mālohi ʻo ia kuo ne pani."
