12 ʻE Sihova,+ ʻokú ke māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he taimi ʻoku ou fai ai ha lāunga kiate koé,
ʻI he taimi ʻoku ou lea atu ai kiate koe fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaefakamaau totonú.
Ka ko e hā ʻoku lakalakaimonū ai ʻa e ʻalunga ʻo e kau fulikivanú,+
Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke hohaʻa ai ʻa e kau kākaá?
2 Naʻá ke tō kinautolu, pea kuo nau faiaka.
Kuo nau tupu pea kuo nau laku fua.
ʻOku nau faʻa lea lelei fekauʻaki mo koe, ka ʻoku mamaʻo meiate koe ʻa ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau lolotó.*+
3 Ka ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi lelei au, ʻe Sihova,+ ʻokú ke ʻafio mai kiate au;
Kuó ke sivisiviʻi ʻa hoku lotó ʻo ʻilo ʻoku fāʻūtaha ia mo koe.+
Fakamavaheʻi mai kinautolu ʻo hangē ha sipi ke tāmateʻí,
Pea vaheʻi kinautolu ki he ʻaho ʻo hono tāmateʻí.
4 Ko e hā hono fuoloa ʻa e mae ʻa e fonuá
Mo e mōmoa ʻa e ʻakau ʻi he ngoue kotoa pē?+
Koeʻuhí ko e faikovi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nofo ʻi aí,
Kuo mole atu ʻa e fanga manú mo e fanga manupuná.
He kuo nau pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai te ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko kiate kitautolú.”
5 Kapau ʻokú ke helaʻia ʻi he lele mo e kau tangata ʻalu laló,
ʻE lava fēfē ke ke lova mo e fanga hōsí?+
Naʻa mo haʻo maʻu ha falala pau ʻi he fonua ʻoku melinó,
ʻE anga-fēfē haʻo fāinga ʻi he vao ʻakau fihi ʻi he veʻe Sioataní?
6 He naʻa mo ho fanga tokouá tonu, ʻa e fale tonu ʻa hoʻo tamaí,
Kuo nau faikākā kiate koe.+
Kuo nau kailangakiʻi kovi koe.
ʻOua naʻá ke falala kiate kinautolu,
Naʻa mo haʻanau leaʻaki ha meʻa lelei kiate koe.
7 “Kuó u liʻaki ʻa hoku falé;+ kuó u tuku ange ʻa hoku tofiʻá.+
Kuó u tuku atu ʻa siʻoku ʻofaʻangá ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi filí.+
8 Ko hoku tofiʻá kuó ne hangē kiate au ko ha laione ʻi he vaotaá.
Kuó ne ngungulu mai kiate au.
Ko ia kuó u fakaliliʻa ʻiate ia.
9 Ko hoku tofiʻá ʻoku hangē ia kiate au ha manupuna fekai lanu kehekehé;*
Ko e fanga manupuna fekai kehé ʻoku nau ʻātakaiʻi ia ʻo ʻohofi.+
Haʻu, fakatahataha mai, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa fanga manu ʻo e vaó,
Mou omi ʻo kai.+
10 Kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he kau tauhi-sipi tokolahi ʻa ʻeku ngoue kālepí;+
Kuo nau tāmalaki ʻa hoku tofiʻá.+
Kuo nau liliu ʻa hoku tofiʻa leleí ko ha toafa maomaonganoa.
11 Kuo hoko ia ko ha feituʻu lala.
Kuo ngaohi ʻa e fonuá kotoa ʻo maomaonganoa,
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke tokanga ki ai ha tangata.+
12 Kuo haʻu ʻa e kau fakaʻauhá ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻaluʻi kotoa ʻi he toafá,
He ʻoku keina ʻe he heletā ʻa Sihová mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo e fonuá ki he ngataʻanga ʻe tahá.+
ʻOku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe ha taha* ha melino.
13 Kuo nau tūtuuʻi ʻa e uite, ka kuo nau utu ʻa e ʻakau talatala.+
Kuo nau fakaongosiaʻi kinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga.
Te nau mā ʻi he fua ʻo ʻenau ngoué
Koeʻuhi ko e houhau kakaha ʻa Sihová.”
14 Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he kotoa ʻo hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi fulikivanú, ʻa ia ʻoku nau ala ki he tofiʻa kuó u tuku ke maʻu ʻe hoku kakai ko ʻIsilelí:+ “Ko eni ʻoku ou taʻaki kinautolu mei honau fonuá,+ pea te u taʻaki ʻa e fale ʻo Siutá mei honau lotolotongá. 15 Ka ʻi he hili ʻeku taʻaki kinautolú, te u toe meesi kiate kinautolu pea fakafoki kinautolu taki taha ki hono tofiʻa pea ki hono fonua.”
16 “Pea kapau te nau fakapapauʻi ke ako ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻo hoku kakaí mo fai ha fuakava ʻi hoku hingoá, ‘ʻOku ou fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻuí,’ hangē ko ʻenau akoʻi hoku kakaí ke nau fai ha fuakava ʻia Pēalí, pea ʻe toki langa hake kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakaí. 17 Ka ʻo kapau te nau fakafisi ke talangofua, te u toe taʻaki ʻa e puleʻanga ko iá, ʻo taʻaki mo fakaʻauha ia,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.+
