1–7 Ko e fakaʻauha ʻae kau Filisitia.
1 Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he kau Filisitia, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke taaʻi ʻe Felo ʻa Kesa.
2 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova;
“Vakai, ʻoku tupu ʻae ngaahi vai mei he tokelau,
pea ʻe hoko ia ko e vai fonu mahakehake lahi,
pea ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae fonua pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai:
ko e kolo mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ai:
pea ʻe toki tangi ʻae kau tangata,
pea ʻe tangilāulau ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
3 Ko e meʻa ʻi he patatū ʻae vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi mālohi,
mo e meʻa ʻi he lele ʻae ngaahi saliote,
pea mo e longoaʻa ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote,
ʻe ʻikai sio ki mui ʻae ngaahi tamai ki heʻenau fānau
ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai ʻa honau nima;
4 Koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ke fakaʻauha ai ʻae kau Filisitia kotoa pē,
pea ke tuʻusi mei Taia mo Saitone ʻae tokoni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku toe:
koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae kau Filisitia,
ko e toenga ʻoe fonua ko Kafitoli.
5 Kuo hoko ʻae tula ki Kesa;
kuo tuʻusi ʻa ʻAsikiloni mo e toenga ʻi honau teleʻa:
ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻo maumauʻi koe ʻe koe?
6 “ ‘ʻA koe ko e heletā ʻo Sihova, ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea ke toki fiemālie?
Ke ke ʻai koe ki ho ʻaiʻanga,
pea mālōlō, mo fiemālie.
7 “ʻE fēfē ʻene fiemālie,
he kuo fekauʻi ia ʻe Sihova ki ʻAsikiloni, pea mo e matātahi?
Kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ia ki ai.”
