Book of Baruch, ancient text purportedly written by Baruch, secretary and friend of Jeremiah, the Old Testament prophet. The text is still extant in Greek and in several translations from Greek into Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, and other languages. The Book of Baruch is apocryphal to the Hebrew and Protestant canons but was incorporated in the Septuagint and was included in the Old Testament for Roman Catholics. The work is a compilation of several authors and is the only work among the apocrypha that was consciously modeled after the prophetic writings of the Old Testament.

5. 11 Naʻá ku fafanga ʻa kinautolu ʻi he fiefia; ka naʻá ne

12 Tuku ke ʻoua naʻa fiefia ha tangata koeʻuhi ko au, ko

13 Naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní, pe

14 Tuku ke haʻu ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Sioné, pea
mou manatuʻi ʻa e nofo pōpula ʻa hoku ngaahi fohá mo e

15 He kuó ne ʻomi ha puleʻanga kiate kinautolu mei he

ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e tangata motuʻá,
pe ha tamasiʻi fakaʻofaʻia.
16 Kuo ʻave ʻe he faʻahinga ko ʻení ʻa e fānau ʻofeina ʻo

17 Ka ko e hā te u lava ʻo tokoni atú?
18 He ko ia ia ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi mahaki

19 ʻAlu ʻi ho halá, ʻe ʻeku fānau, mou ō ʻi homou halá:
he kuo liʻekina au.
20 Kuó u liʻaki ʻa e kofu ʻo e melinó, peá u ʻai kiate au
ʻa e tauangaʻa ʻo ʻeku lotú: Te u tangi ki he Taʻengatá ʻi

21 ʻE fānau, mou fiefia, ʻe fānau, tangi ki he ʻEikí, pea
te ne fakahaofi ʻa kimoutolu mei he mālohi mo e nima

22 He ko ʻeku ʻamanakí ʻoku ʻi he Taʻengatá, ke ne

23 He naʻá ku fekauʻi atu ʻa kimoutolu ʻi he tangi mo e

24 ʻO hangē ko ʻeni kuo mamata ʻa e kaungāʻapi ʻo
Sioné ki hoʻomou nofo pōpulá: ʻe pehē pē ʻenau mamata
ki hoʻomou fakamoʻui mei hotau ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻe hoko mai
kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fuʻu nāunau lahi, mo e ngingila ʻo

25 ʻE hoku fānau, kātakiʻi ʻi he faʻa kātaki ʻa e houhau
kuo tō kiate kimoutolu mei he ʻOtuá: he kuo fakatangaʻi

26 Ko ʻeku kakai pelepelengesí kuo nau ʻalu atu ʻi ha

27 Ke mou fiemālie, ʻe hoku fānau, pea tangi ki he

28 He ko e meʻa ʻi ho ʻatamaí ke ke hē mei he ʻOtuá: ko

29 He ko ia ia kuó ne ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi tauteá ni kiate

30 Loto lelei, ʻe Selusalema: he ko ia naʻá ne foaki kiate

31 ʻOku mamahi ʻa kinautolu naʻa nau fakamamahiʻi ʻa

32 Ko e meʻa fakamamahi ʻa e ngaahi kolo naʻe tokoni
ki ai hoʻo fānaú: ko e meʻa fakamamahí ʻa ia naʻá ne tali

33 He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fiefia ʻi ho fakaʻauhá, pea
naʻá ne fiefia ʻi hoʻo toó: ʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻene mamahi
koeʻuhi ko ʻene fakaʻauha ʻaʻaná.
34 He te u toʻo atu ʻa e fiefia ʻa hono fuʻu kakai tokolahí,
pea ʻe liliu ʻa ʻene loto-hīkisiá ko e tangi.
35 He ʻe hoko mai kiate ia ʻa e afi mei he taʻengatá, ʻo

36 ʻOiauē Selūsalema, vakai atu kiate koe ki he potu

37 Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho ngaahi fohá, ʻa ia naʻa mou

7 He kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtuá ke lī hifo ʻa e moʻunga
