Ko ho loungutú tonu ʻoku fakamoʻoni ki hoʻo halá.+

 7 Ko koe koā ʻa e fuofua tangata naʻe fanauʻi maí,

Pe ko ho fanauʻí naʻe ki muʻa ia ʻi hono fokotuʻu ʻo e ngaahi moʻungá?

 8 ʻOkú ke fanongo ki he talanoa fufū ʻa e ʻOtuá,

ʻI he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi taʻu ʻoku tuku tauhi maʻá e tokotaha ʻoku pule kakahá.

21 ʻOku ʻi hono telingá ʻa e ngaahi ongo fakamanavahē;+

ʻI he taimi ʻo e melinó, ʻoku ʻohofi ia ʻe he kau kaihaʻa fakamālohí.

22 ʻOku ʻikai te ne tui te ne hao mei he fakapoʻulí;+

ʻOku tuku tauhi ia ki ha heletā.

24 Ko e faingataʻá mo e mamahí ʻokú ne hanganaki fakailifiaʻi ia;

ʻOku nau lōmekina ia ʻo hangē ha tuʻi ʻoku mateuteu ke ne fai ha ʻohofí.

25 He ʻokú ne hiki hono nimá ki he ʻOtuá tonu

26 ʻOkú ne ʻoho taʻeʻunua atu kiate Ia,

Mo ʻene pā matolu mo mālohí;

27 ʻOku ʻufiʻufi hono matá ʻe he ngakó,

Pea ngeʻengeʻe hono kongalotó;

28 ʻOkú ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻe hoko ʻo ʻauha,

ʻI he ngaahi fale ʻe ʻikai ke nofo ai ha taha,

ʻA ia ʻe hoko ko e ngaahi fokotuʻunga maka.

29 ʻE ʻikai te ne tuʻumālie, pea ko ʻene koloá ʻe ʻikai fokotuʻuna,

Pea ʻe ʻikai ke movete atu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne maʻú ʻi he fonuá.

ʻE hanga ʻe ha afi ʻo ʻai ke mōmoa ʻa hono hulí,*

Pea te ne mole atu ʻi ha mānava mei he fofonga ʻo e ʻOtuá.*+

31 ʻE ʻikai totonu ke ne ʻalu hē pea falala ki he meʻa ʻoku muna peé,

He ko e totongi te ne maʻu mei aí ko e muna pē;

32 ʻE hoko ia ki muʻa ʻi hono ʻahó,

Pea ko hono ngaahi vaʻá ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke tupu ʻāfaʻafa.+

33 Te ne hangē ha fuʻu kālepi ʻoku ngangana hono fuá teʻeki motuʻa,

Pea hangē ha fuʻu ʻōlive ʻoku ʻauhia hono fisí.

34 He ko e fakatahataha ʻa e kau anga-taʻefakaʻotuá* ʻoku ʻikai hano fua,+

Pea ʻe keina ʻe ha afi ʻa e ngaahi tēniti ʻo e totongi fufuú.

35 ʻOku nau tuʻituʻiaʻi ʻa e faingataʻá pea fanauʻi mai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku koví,

Pea ʻoku fakatupu mai ʻe honau manavá ʻa e kākā.”
