Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1ʻE ʻOtua, naʻa mau fanongo ʻaki homau telinga, pea kuo tala kiate kimautolu ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai, ʻae ngāue naʻa ke fai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaho, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa.
1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved.
2Naʻa ke kapusi kituʻa ʻae hiteni ʻaki ho nima, mo ke tō ʻakinautolu: naʻa ke tautea ʻae kakai, pea mafola atu ʻakinautolu.
2My heart hath uttered a good word I speak my works to the king; My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly.
3He naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻi he heletā ʻanautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe honau nima: ka ko ho ʻaofi nima, mo ho nima toʻomataʻu, mo e maama ʻo ho fofonga, koeʻuhi naʻa ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
3Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4He ko koe ko hoku Tuʻi, ʻE ʻOtua ke ke fekau ʻae fakamoʻui kia Sēkope.
4Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.
5Ko e meʻa ʻiate koe temau tulaki homau ngaahi fili: ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa temau malamalaki ki lalo ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate kimautolu.
5With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
6Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u falala ki heʻeku kaufana, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui au ʻe heʻeku heletā.
6Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king’s enemies.
7Ka ko koe kuo ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei homau ngaahi fili, pea kuo ke tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kimautolu.
7Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
8ʻOku mau vikiviki ʻi he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, ʻo fakamālō ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata. Sila.
8Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
9Ka kuo ke liʻaki, pea tuku ke mā ʻakimautolu; pea ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu mo ʻemau ngaahi kongakau.
9Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which
10ʻOku ke pule ke mau foki mai mei he fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻoku nau maumau maʻanautolu.
10The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.
11Kuo ke foaki ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi kuo fili ki he kai; pea kuo ke fakahēʻi ʻakimautolu ki he hiteni.
11Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.
12ʻOku ke fakatau hoʻo kakai taʻehatotongi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fakalahi hoʻo koloa ʻaki honau totongi.
12And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
13ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻakimautolu ko e manukiʻanga ʻo homau ngaahi kaungāʻapi, ko e meʻa manuki mo e taukaeʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimautolu.
13And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
14ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻakimautolu ko e lumaʻanga ʻoe hiteni, ko e kalokaloʻanga ʻoe ʻulu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
14All the glory of the king’s daughter is within in golden borders,
15ʻOku ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē ʻeku kovi, pea kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki au ʻae mā ʻo hoku mata,
15Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
16Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ia ʻoku ne taukae mo kape; ko e meʻa ʻi he fili mo e fakafāsifasi.
16They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
17Kuo hoko ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai te mau fakangalongaloʻi koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau fai kākā ʻi hoʻo fuakava.
17Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
18ʻOku ʻikai foki kimui homau loto, pe afe mei ho hala homau ʻaluʻanga;
18They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
19Kuo ke fesifesi ʻakimautolu ʻi he potu ʻoe fanga talākoni, mo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae ʻata ʻoe mate.
