28 “ʻOku ʻi ai ha feituʻu ki he keliʻanga silivá
Mo ha feituʻu ʻoku nau sivi ai ʻa e koulá;+
2 ʻOku toʻo ʻa e ʻaioné mei he kelekelé,
3 ʻOku ikunaʻi ʻe he tangatá ʻa e fakapoʻulí;
ʻOkú ne tutui atu ki he ngataʻangá ʻi he poʻuli matolú mo e kaupōʻulí,
ʻO kumi ki he maká.
4 ʻOkú ne keli ha luo hūʻanga ki ai ʻo mamaʻo mei he feituʻu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa e kakaí,
ʻI he ngaahi feituʻu kuo ʻikai toe manatua, ʻo mamaʻo mei he feituʻu ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ai ʻa e kakaí;
ʻOku ʻalu hifo ai ha kau tangata ʻi ha maea.
5 ʻOku tupu ʻa e meʻakaí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní;
Ka ʻi lolofonua, ʻoku ʻi ai ha feliuliuaki lahi ai ʻo hangē ko ha tupu mei he afí.*
6 ʻOku ʻi hono ngaahi maká ʻa e sāfaia,
Pea ko e efuefú ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e koula.
7 ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he manupuna fekaí ʻa e hala ki aí;
Kuo teʻeki ke sio ai ʻa e mata ʻo e lofa ʻuliʻulí.
8 Kuo ʻikai ha fanga manu fekai kuo nau mala ai;
Ko e laione muí kuo teʻeki ke ne totolo holo ai.
9 ʻOku tā ʻe he tangatá ʻa e maka fefeká ʻaki hono nimá;
ʻOkú ne fulihi ʻa e ngaahi moʻungá ʻi honau ngaahi tuʻuʻangá.
10 ʻOkú ne foa ʻa e ngaahi halanga vai+ ʻi he maká;
ʻOku fakatokangaʻi ʻe hono matá ʻa e meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē.
11 ʻOkú ne tāpuni ʻa e ngaahi matavai ʻo e ngaahi vaitafé
Pea ʻomi ʻa e meʻa naʻe fufuú ki he māmá.
13 ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e meʻa ko iá,+
Pea ʻe ʻikai lava ke maʻu ia ʻi he fonua ʻo e kau moʻuí.
14 ʻOku pehē ʻe he moana lolotó, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ia!’
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe he tahí, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au!’+
15 Heʻikai lava ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻa e koula haohaoá;
Pe fua ʻa e mamafa ʻo e silivá ke fakafetongiʻaki ia.+
16 Heʻikai lava ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻa e koula ʻo ʻŌfelí+
Pe ko e ʻōnike mo e sāfaia hāhāmolofiá.
17 Heʻikai lava ke fakatatau ki ai ʻa e koulá mo e sioʻatá;
18 Ko e maka feó mo e kilisitalá ʻoku ʻikai taau ke fai ha lave ki ai,+
He ko ha kato ʻoku fonu ʻi he potó ʻoku mahuʻinga ange ia ʻi ha kato ʻoku fonu ʻi he ngaahi mataʻitofé.
19 Ko e tōpasi+ ʻo Kusá heʻikai lava ke fakatatau ki ai;
Naʻa mo e koula haohaoá heʻikai lava ke fakatauʻaki ia.
20 Ka ʻoku haʻu mei fē ʻa e potó,
Pea ko fē ʻa e matavai ʻo e mahinó?+
21 Kuo fūfuuʻi ia mei he mata ʻo e meʻamoʻui kotoa pē+
Pea kuo fakapuliki mei he fanga manupuna ʻo e langí.
22 ʻOku pehē ʻe ʻauha mo mate,
‘Kuo fanongo pē ʻa homa telingá ki ha fakamatala ʻo ia.’
23 ʻOku mahinoʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e hala ke maʻu ai iá;
Ko ia pē ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku nofo ai iá,+
24 He ʻokú ne sio ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo e māmaní,
Pea ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he lalo langí.+
25 ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ʻa e mālohi* ʻo e matangí+
Pea fua mo e ngaahi vaí,+
26 ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ha tuʻutuʻuni ki he ʻuhá+
Mo ha hala ki he afā lōvai mo mana fatulisí,+
27 Naʻá ne sio leva ki he potó peá ne fakamatalaʻi ia;
Naʻá ne fokotuʻu maʻu ia ʻo ne siviʻi.
28 Pea naʻá ne pehē ki he tangatá:
