Palōveepi
2 ʻOku ʻikai lelei ha tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa e ʻiló,+
Pea ʻoku faiangahala ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne fai fakavave ha meʻá.*
3 Ko e vale ia ʻa ha tangata ʻoku mioʻi ai ʻa hono halá,
Pea hoko ʻo ʻita ai ʻa hono lotó kia Sihova.
4 Ko e koloá ʻokú ne tohoakiʻi mai ʻa e kaungāmeʻa tokolahi,
Ka ko e tangata masivá naʻa mo hono kaungāmeʻá te ne liʻaki ia.+
5 Ko ha fakamoʻoni loi ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu taʻetautea,+
Pea ko e tokotaha ʻoku loi ʻi heʻene mānava kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai te ne hao.+
6 ʻOku feinga ʻa e tokolahi ke leleiʻia ʻiate kinautolu ha tokotaha māʻolunga,*
Pea ʻoku kaumeʻa ʻa e tokotaha kotoa mo e tangata ʻoku foaki meʻaʻofá.
7 Ko e fanga tokoua kotoa ʻo ha tangata masiva ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate ia;+
Huanoa ange ai ʻa e fakamamaʻo meiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kaumeʻá!+
ʻOkú ne tuli kiate kinautolu mo fai ha ngaahi kole, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke fai mai ʻe ha taha ha tali.
8 ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau leleí* ʻokú ne ʻofa ʻiate ia.+
ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻokú ne koloaʻaki ʻa e ʻiloʻiló te ne lavameʻa.*+
9 Ko ha fakamoʻoni loi ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu taʻetautea,
Pea ko e tokotaha ʻoku loi ʻi heʻene mānava kotoa pē ʻe ʻauha.+
10 ʻOku ʻikai feʻunga ki ha vale ke ne nofo fakatuʻumālie;
Huanoa ange ai ʻa e ʻikai feʻunga ki ha sevāniti ke ne pule ki ha houʻeiki!+
11 Ko e vavanga fakaefakakaukau ʻa ha tangata ʻoku fakatuotuai moʻoni ai ʻa ʻene ʻitá,+
Pea ko e meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa ia kiate ia ʻene tukunoaʻi* ha fakatupu ʻita.*+
12 Ko e houhau ʻa ha tuʻi ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngungulu ʻa ha laioné,+
Ka ko ʻene hōifuá ʻoku hangē ia ko e hahau ʻi he musié.
13 Ko ha foha vale ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻa e tuʻutāmaki ki heʻene tamaí,+
Pea ko ha uaifi fakatupu kē* ʻoku hangē ia ha ʻato ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ʻosi ʻa ʻene tutulú.+
14 Ko ha fale mo ha koloa, ko e meʻa tukufakaholo ia mei he ngaahi tamaí,
Ka ko ha uaifi fakapotopoto ʻoku meia Sihova ia.+
15 Ko e fakapikopikó ʻokú ne ʻomi ha mohe maʻu,
Pea ko e tokotaha mamió te ne fiekaia.+
16 Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne tauhi ʻa e fekaú ʻokú ne tauhi ai ʻa ʻene moʻuí;+
Ko e tokotaha ʻoku taʻetokanga fekauʻaki mo hono ngaahi ʻalungá te ne mate.+
17 Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakahāhā ʻa e leleiʻia ʻi he māʻulaló ʻokú ne ʻoatu ha nō kia Sihova,+
Pea te Ne totongi fakafoki kiate ia ʻa e* meʻa ʻokú ne faí.+
18 Akonakiʻi ho fohá lolotonga ʻoku kei ʻi ai ha ʻamanakí,+
19 Ko e tangata ʻita vavé te ne fua ʻa e tautea;
Kapau te ke feinga ke fakahaofi ia, kuo pau ke ke toutou fai ia.+
21 ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi palani ʻi he loto ʻo ha tangata,
22 Ko e meʻa fakamānako ʻi ha tangata ʻa ʻene ʻofa mateakí;+
Pea ʻoku lelei ange ke masiva ʻi he hoko ko ha tokotaha loi.
23 Ko e manavahē kia Sihová ʻoku iku ia ki he moʻui;+
Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu iá te ne maʻu ha mālōlō lelei, ʻo ʻatā mei he koví.+
24 Ko e tokotaha fakapikopikó ʻokú ne mono hono nimá ki he poulu ʻaiʻanga meʻakaí,
Ka ʻoku ʻikai haʻane hohaʻa ke fakafoki ia ki hono ngutú.+
25 Taaʻi ʻa e tokotaha manukí,+ koeʻuhí ke hoko ai ʻo poto+ ʻa e tokotaha taʻetaukeí,
Pea valokiʻi ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mahinó, koeʻuhí ke fakalahi ai ʻa ʻene ʻiló.+
26 Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne ngaohikoviʻi ʻa ʻene tamaí pea kapusi ʻa ʻene faʻeé
Ko ha foha ia ʻokú ne fakatupunga ʻa e mā mo e ngalivale.+
27 ʻE hoku foha, kapau ʻe tuku hoʻo fanongo ki he akonakí,
Te ke hē ai mei he ngaahi lea ʻo e ʻiló.
