31 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Tuʻi Lēmiueli, ko e pōpoaki mafatukituki naʻe ʻoange ʻe heʻene faʻeé ke fakahinohinoʻi ʻaki ia:+
2 Ko e hā te u tala atú, siʻeku tama,
Ko e hā, ʻe tama ʻo hoku manavá,
Pea ko e hā, ʻe tama ʻo ʻeku ngaahi fuakavá?+
3 ʻOua naʻa foaki ho iví ki he kakai fefiné,+
Pe muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻalunga ʻoku ʻauha ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻí.+
4 ʻOku ʻikai maʻá e ngaahi tuʻí, ʻe Lēmiueli,
ʻOku ʻikai maʻá e ngaahi tuʻí ke nau inu uaine
Pe ki he kau pulé ke nau pehē, “Ko fē ʻa hoku inú?”+
5 Koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu pea ngalo ai ʻa e meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuní
Pea pikoʻi ai ʻa e totonu ʻa e faʻahinga māʻulaló.
6 ʻOange ʻa e ʻolokaholó ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau meimei ʻauhá+
Mo e uainé ki he faʻahinga ʻoku ongoʻi mafasiá.+
7 Tuku ke nau inu pea ngalo ai ʻenau masivá;
Tuku ke ʻoua naʻa nau toe manatuʻi ʻenau faingataʻaʻiá.
8 Lea hake maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nau leá;
Taukapoʻi ʻa e totonu ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau meimei ʻauhá.+
