Esaia

18 Malaʼia ki te fenua ʼae ʼe logo ai te lele ʼa te ʼu kiʼi manu,

ʼI te potu fenua ʼo te ʼu vai tafe ʼo Etiopea!+

 2 ʼE ina fekauʼi he ʼu tagata fakafofoga ʼi te tai,

ʼI ni vaka papilusi ʼe faifolau ʼi te ʼu vai, ʼo ina ui:

“Kotou olo kau ʼave logo gaholo

Ki he puleʼaga ʼo ni hahaʼi lalahi mo kili momole,

Ki he hahaʼi ʼe matakuʼia ʼi te ʼu potu fuli,+

Ki he puleʼaga malohi mo tau tuʼumaʼu,

ʼAe ʼe ʼave e te ʼu vai te ʼu kele.”

 3 Hahaʼi ʼo te malamanei, ia koutou fuli ʼae ʼe nonofo ʼi te kele,

Ko te meʼa ʼae ka kotou sisio ki ai ʼe hage anai ko he fakailoga* ʼe tuʼu ʼi te ʼu moʼuga

Pea ko te meʼa ʼae ka kotou logo ki ai ʼe hage anai ko te pupuhi ʼo te fakatagi pupuhi.

“ ʼE au fimalie anai ʼo sioʼi* toku nofoʼaga ʼae ʼe tuʼu malohi,

Ohage ko te vevela ʼo te laʼa,

Ohage ko he ʼao ʼo te hahau ʼi te temi vela ʼo te taʼukai.

 5 ʼI muʼa ʼo te toli ʼo te ʼu vite,

Moka ʼosi tona fisi pea moka liliu anai te ʼu matalaʼi teu ko ni fuaʼi vite momoho,

ʼE fakagata anai te ʼu vaʼa ʼaki te hele.

Pea ʼe tuʼusi mo toʼo anai te ʼu kauʼi vite.

 6 ʼE siʼaki anai te ʼu sino mate fuli ki te ʼu manulele fekai ʼo te ʼu moʼuga

Pea mo te ʼu manu ʼo te kele.

ʼE kai anai ki ai te ʼu manulele fekai ʼi te temi vela,

Pea ʼe toe kai pe anai e te ʼu manu ʼo te kele ʼi te temi taʼukai.

 7 ʼI te temi ʼaia, ʼe ʼave anai he meʼa ʼofa kia Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau,

Mai he puleʼaga ʼo ni hahaʼi lalahi mo kili momole,

Mai he hahaʼi ʼe matakuʼia ʼi te ʼu potu fuli,

Mai he puleʼaga malohi mo tau tuʼumaʼu,

ʼAe ʼe ʼave e te ʼu vai te ʼu kele.

ʼE ʼave anai te meʼa ʼofa ʼaia ki te koga meʼa ʼae ʼe ʼafio ai te huafa ʼo Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau, ia te Moʼuga ʼo Sione.”+
