4 ʻE lava ʻe ha tokotaha taʻemaʻa ʻo fanauʻi mai ha tokotaha maʻa?+
Heʻikai lava ʻe ha taha!
5 He kapau kuo fakapapauʻi hono ngaahi ʻahó,
Ko e lahi ʻo hono ngaahi māhiná ʻoku ʻiate koe;
Kuó ke fokotuʻu hano ngataʻanga ke ʻoua naʻa toe fakalaka atu ai.+
6 Hanga kehe muʻa meiate ia koeʻuhi ka ne mālōlō,
Kae ʻoua kuó ne fakaʻosi hono ʻahó, ʻo hangē ha tokotaha ngāue totongí.+
7 He naʻa mo ha ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻamanaki ki ai.
Kapau ʻe tuʻusi, ʻe toe tā-huli mai,
Pea ko hono ngaahi hulí ʻe hokohoko atu ʻenau tupú.
8 Kapau ʻoku motuʻa hono ngaahi aká ʻi he kelekelé
Pea mate ʻa hono sinó ʻi he kelekelé,
9 ʻE huli ia ʻi heʻene nāmuʻi pē ʻa e vaí;
Pea ʻe tupu mai hono ngaahi vaʻá ʻo hangē ha fuʻu ʻakau toki tupú.
10 Ka ʻoku mate ha tangata peá ne tokoto ʻo ʻikai toe lava ha meʻa;
ʻI he mate ha tangata, ko fē ia?+
11 ʻOku puli atu ʻa e vaí mei he tahí,
Pea maha ha vaitafe ʻo ne pakukā.
12 ʻOku tokoto foki ha tangata ʻo ʻikai toe tuʻu hake.+
ʻE ʻikai te nau ʻā hake kae ʻoua ke mole ʻa e langí,
Pea ʻe ʻikai fafangu kinautolu mei heʻenau mohé.+
13 Pehē ange mai ke ke fufū au+ ʻi he Faʻitoká,*
Ke ke fufū au kae ʻoua ke fakalaka atu hoʻo houhaú,
Ke ke fokotuʻu ha taimi fakangatangata kiate au pea manatu mai kiate au!+
14 Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, te ne toe moʻui koā?+
15 Te ke ui, pea te u tali atu kiate koe.+
Te ke holi* ki he ngāue ʻa ho nimá.
16 Ka ko eni, ʻokú ke hanganaki lau ʻeku laka kotoa pē;
ʻOkú ke fakasio pē ki heʻeku angahalá.
17 Ko ʻeku laka halá ʻoku silaʻi maʻu ia ʻi ha tangai,
Pea ʻokú ke fakamaʻu ʻeku faihalá ʻaki ʻa e kulū.
18 Hangē ko e holo ha moʻunga ʻo movete atú
Pea mo ha makatuʻu kuo matoʻo mei hono tuʻuʻangá,
19 Hangē ko hono keina ʻe he vaí ʻa e maká
Pea ʻauhia ʻa e kelekele ʻo e māmaní ʻi hono ngaahi ʻau mālohí,
ʻOku pehē ʻa hoʻo fakaʻauha ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻa e tangata ko e meʻa noa peé.
20 ʻOkú ke hanganaki lōmekina ia kae ʻoua kuó ne ʻauha;+
ʻOkú ke liliu ʻa hono fōtungá, peá ke tuku ange atu ia.
21 ʻOku fakalāngilangiʻi hono ngaahi fohá, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻiloʻi ia;
ʻOku nau hoko ʻo ʻikai hanau mahuʻinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakatokangaʻi ia.+
22 ʻOkú ne ongoʻi pē ʻa e langá ʻi heʻene kei kakanó;
ʻOkú ne mamahí pē ʻi heʻene kei moʻuí.”
