1[ Aleph Quomodo obscuratum est aurum, mutatus est color optimus ! dispersi sunt lapides sanctuarii in capite omnium platearum !
1Hono ʻikai kuo hoko ʻo nenefu ʻae koula! Hono ʻikai liliu ʻae fungani koula! ʻAe ngaahi maka ʻoe potu tapu kuo lilingi ʻi he muʻa hala kotoa pē.
2Beth Filii Sion inclyti, et amicti auro primo: quomodo reputati sunt in vasa testea, opus manuum figuli !
2ʻAe ngaahi foha mahuʻinga ʻo Saione, ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo e fungani koula, ʻoku fēfē ʻae lau ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ipu kelekele, ʻae ngāue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu!
3Ghimel Sed et lamiæ nudaverunt mammam, lactaverunt catulos suos: filia populi mei crudelis quasi struthio in deserto.
3ʻIo, naʻa mo e ngaahi ika lalahi ʻoe tahi ʻoku nau ʻatu ʻae huhu ʻonau fakahuhu honau ʻuhiki: ka kuo hoko ʻo taʻeʻofa ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻositalesi ʻi he toafa.
4Daleth Adhæsit lingua lactentis ad palatum ejus in siti; parvuli petierunt panem, et non erat qui frangeret eis.
4Ko e ʻelelo ʻoe tamasiʻi huhu ʻoku piki ki hono ʻaoʻingutu ʻi he fieinu; ʻoku kole mā ʻe he tamaiki iiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tofi ʻe ha tangata kiate kinautolu.
5He Qui vescebantur voluptuose, interierunt in viis; qui nutriebantur in croceis, amplexati sunt stercora.
5ʻAkinautolu naʻe faʻa kai lelei ʻoku nau paea ʻi he ngaahi hala: ʻakinautolu naʻe kofu kulokula ʻi heʻenau tupu hake, ʻoku fāʻufua ʻae tuʻunga ʻotoʻota.
6Vau Et major effecta est iniquitas filiæ populi mei peccato Sodomorum, quæ subversa est in momento, et non ceperunt in ea manus.
6He ʻoku lahi ʻae tautea ki he angahala ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai ʻi he tautea ʻoe angahala ʻa Sotoma, ʻaia naʻe fulihi ʻo hangē ʻi ha kemo pe taha pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa ala ʻae nima ki ai.
7Zain Candidiores Nazaræi ejus nive, nitidiores lacte, rubicundiores ebore antiquo, sapphiro pulchriores.
7Naʻe maʻa lahi hake ʻa hono houʻeiki ʻi he ʻuha hinehina, nau nau hinehina lahi ʻi he huʻahuhu, ko honau sino naʻe kula lahi ʻi he ngaahi lupi, ko honau ngingila naʻe hangē ko e safaia.
8Heth Denigrata est super carbones facies eorum et non sunt cogniti in plateis; adhæsit cutis eorum ossibus: aruit, et facta est quasi lignum.
8ʻOku ʻuliʻuli honau mata ʻi he maka fefie; ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi hala: ʻoku piki ʻa honau kili ki honau ngaahi hui, ʻoku feʻufeʻu ia, kuo hoko ia ʻo hangē ha vaʻa ʻakau.
9Teth Melius fuit occisis gladio quam interfectis fame, quoniam isti extabuerunt consumpti a sterilitate terræ.
9ʻOku lelei ʻakinautolu ʻoku mate ʻo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku mate ʻi he honge; he ʻoku fakaʻauʻausino ʻakinautolu ni, kuo tāmateʻi ʻi heʻenau masiva ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻoe ngoue.
10Jod Manus mulierum misericordium coxerunt filios suos; facti sunt cibus earum in contritione filiæ populi mei.
10Kuo taʻo ʻe he nima ʻoe kau fefine angaʻofa ʻenau fānau ʻanautolu: ko ʻenau meʻakai ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai.
11Caph Complevit Dominus furorem suum, effudit iram indignationis suæ: et succendit ignem in Sion, et devoravit fundamenta ejus.
11Kuo fai ʻe he ʻEiki ʻa hono houhau; kuo ne huaʻi hono houhau vela, pea kuo ne tutu ha afi ʻi Saione, pea kuo fakaʻauha ai ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.
12Lamed Non crediderunt reges terræ, et universi habitatores orbis, quoniam ingrederetur hostis et inimicus per portas Jerusalem.
12Naʻe ʻikai ke meimei tui ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, mo e ngaahi kakai ʻo māmani, ʻe faʻa hū ʻae kau fili ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻo Selūsalema.
13Mem Propter peccata prophetarum ejus, et iniquitates sacerdotum ejus, qui effuderunt in medio ejus sanguinem justorum.
13Ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala ʻo ʻene kau palōfita, pea mo e ngaahi hia ʻo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki, ʻaia kuo lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono lotolotonga,
14Nun Erraverunt cæci in plateis, polluti sunt in sanguine; cumque non possent, tenuerunt lacinias suas.
14Ko ia kuo nau he ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata kui ʻi he ngaahi hala, kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae toto, ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ala ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi kofu.
15Samech Recedite polluti, clamaverunt eis; recedite, abite, nolite tangere: jurgati quippe sunt, et commoti dixerunt inter gentes: Non addet ultra ut habitet in eis.
15Naʻa nau kalanga kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō!; ʻoku ʻuli ia!; ʻAlu pe, ʻAlu pe, ʻoua naʻa ala!:” ʻi heʻenau hola, mo ʻenau ʻalu hēhē, naʻa nau pehē ʻi he kakai hiteni, “ʻE ʻikai te nau kei nofo ai.”
16Phe Facies Domini divisit eos, non addet ut respiciat eos; facies sacerdotum non erubuerunt, neque senum miserti sunt.
16Kuo fakamavahevahe ʻakinautolu ʻe he houhau ʻa Sihova; ʻe ʻikai te ne kei tokangaʻi ʻakinautolu: naʻe ʻikai te nau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe ʻikai te nau tokoni ki he kau mātuʻa.
17Ain Cum adhuc subsisteremus, defecerunt oculi nostri ad auxilium nostrum vanum; cum respiceremus attenti ad gentem quæ salvare non poterat.
17Ka koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, naʻe vaivai hotau mata ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau tokoni vaʻinga: ʻi heʻetau leʻo kuo tau leʻo ki ha puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa lava ke fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu.
18Sade Lubricaverunt vestigia nostra in itinere platearum nostrarum; appropinquavit finis noster, completi sunt dies nostri, quia venit finis noster.
18ʻOku nau tuli ʻi heʻetau lakaʻanga, pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala: ʻoku ofi hotau ngataʻanga, kuo kakato hotau ngaahi ʻaho; he kuo hoko hotau ngataʻanga.
19Coph Velociores fuerunt persecutores nostri aquilis cæli; super montes persecuti sunt nos, in deserto insidiati sunt nobis.
19ʻOku veʻe vave hotau kau fakatanga ʻi he fanga ʻikale ʻoe langi: naʻa nau tuli kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga; naʻa nau malumu kiate kitautolu ʻi he toafa.
20Res Spiritus oris nostri, christus Dominus, captus est in peccatis nostris, cui diximus: In umbra tua vivemus in gentibus.
20Ko e mānava ʻa hotau avaʻi ihu, ko e pani ʻo Sihova, naʻe moʻua ʻi heʻenau ngaahi luo, ʻaia naʻa tau pehē ki ai, “ʻI heʻene maluʻi te tau moʻui ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni.”
21Sin Gaude et lætare, filia Edom, quæ habitas in terra Hus ! ad te quoque perveniet calix: inebriaberis, atque nudaberis.
21Ke ke fiefia mo nekeneka, ʻi he fonua ko Usa; ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe foki ʻae ipu: he te ke konā koe, pea te ke fakatelefua koe.
22Thau Completa est iniquitas tua, filia Sion: non addet ultra ut transmigret te. Visitavit iniquitatem tuam, filia Edom; discooperuit peccata tua.]
22Kuo kakato ʻae tautea ʻa hoʻo hia, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione; ʻe ʻikai te ne toe ʻave koe ki he pōpula: ka te ne ʻaʻahi ʻa hoʻo hia, ʻe ʻofefine ʻo ʻItomi, pea te ne fakaʻilo hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
