20 Ko e uainé ko ha tokotaha manuki,+ ko e ʻolokaholó ko e tokotaha taʻemapuleʻi;+
ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻokú na takihēʻí ʻoku ʻikai te ne poto.+
2 Ko e tuʻunga fakailifia* ʻo e tuʻí ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngungulu ʻa ha laioné;+
ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻokú ne langaʻi ʻene houhaú ʻe hoko ʻo fakatuʻutāmaki ia ki heʻene moʻuí tonu.+
3 Ko e lāngilangi ia ki ha tangata ʻa ʻene fakaʻehiʻehi mei he keé,+
Ka ko e kau vale kotoa pē te nau hoko ʻo kau ki ai.+
4 Ko e tokotaha fakapikopikó ʻoku ʻikai te ne palau ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momokó,
Ko ia te ne kolekole ai he lolotonga ʻa e utu-taʻú ʻi he ʻikai haʻane meʻá.*+
5 Ko e ngaahi fakakaukau* ʻi he loto ʻo ha tangata ʻoku hangē ia ha ngaahi vai lolotó,
Ka ko e tangata ʻiloʻiló ʻokú ne fusi hake ia.
6 ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he kau tangata tokolahi ʻenau ʻofa mateakí,
Ka ko hai ʻe lava ke ne maʻu ha tangata faitōnunga?
7 Ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoní ʻokú ne ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene anga-tonú.+
Fiefia ē ko ʻene fānau* ʻoku hoko mai ʻiate iá.+
8 ʻI he ʻafio ʻa e tuʻí ʻi he taloní ke fai ha fakamāú,+
ʻOkú ne sivi ʻa e kovi kotoa ʻaki hono fofongá.+
10 Ko e ngaahi meʻa fakamamafa taʻefaitotonú mo e ngaahi meʻafua halá*
—ʻOku fakalielia fakatouʻosi ia kia Sihova.+
11 Naʻa mo ha kiʻi tama* ʻoku ʻiloʻi ia ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāué,
Pe ko ʻene tōʻongá ʻoku maʻa mo totonu.+
12 Ko e telinga ʻoku fanongó mo e mata ʻoku sió
—Kuo ngaohi fakatouʻosi ia ʻe Sihova.+
13 ʻOua te ke manako ʻi he mohé, he te ke hoko ai ʻo masiva.+
ʻĀʻā ho matá, pea te ke mākona ai ʻi he mā.+
14 “ʻOku ʻikai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai lelei,” ko e lea ia ʻa e tokotaha fakataú;
Peá ne ʻalu atu leva ʻo ne pōlepole pē ʻiate ia.+
15 ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e koula, pea lahi foki mo e maka feó,*
Ka ko e loungutu ʻo e ʻiló ko e meʻa mahuʻinga.+
16 Toʻo ha kofu ʻo ha tangata kapau kuó ne maluʻi ha sola;+
Puke ʻa e meʻa maluʻí meiate ia kapau naʻá ne fai ia ki ha fefine muli.*+
17 Ko e mā naʻe maʻu ʻi he kākaá ʻoku ifo ia ki ha tangata,
Ka ʻi he hili iá ʻe fonu hono ngutú ʻi he makamaka.+
18 ʻI he fealēleaʻakí,* ʻe lavameʻa* ai ʻa e ngaahi palaní,+
Pea ʻi hono fai ʻa e fakahinohino pōtoʻí,* ke ke faitau leva.+
19 Ko ha tokotaha laukovi loi ʻokú ne ʻalu holo ʻo fakahaaʻi ʻa e talanoa fakapulipulí;+
ʻOua naʻá ke feohi mo e tokotaha ʻoku manako ʻi he laú.*
20 ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻokú ne talatukiʻi ʻa ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé,
ʻE tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene māmá ʻi he hoko mai ʻa e fakapoʻulí.+
21 Ko ha tofiʻa naʻe ʻuluaki maʻu ʻi he mānumanú
ʻE ʻikai hoko ia ko ha tāpuaki ʻamui.+
22 ʻOua naʻá ke pehē: “Te u totongi fakafoki ʻa e koví!”+
ʻAmanaki kia Sihova,+ pea te ne fakahaofi koe.+
23 Ko e ngaahi meʻa fakamamafa taʻefaitotonú* ʻoku fakalielia ia kia Sihova,
Pea ko e ngaahi meʻafua kākaá ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia.
24 Ko e ngaahi laka ʻa ha tangata ʻoku tataki ia ʻe Sihova;+
ʻE lava fēfē ke mahinoʻi ʻe ha tangata hono hala ʻoʻoná?*
25 Ko ha tauhele ia ki ha tangata ke kaila fakavave, “ʻOku toputapu!”+
Pea toki fakakaukau ki mui ai ki he meʻa naʻá ne fuakavaʻakí.+
26 Ko ha tuʻi poto ʻokú ne sivi ʻo liʻaki ʻa e kau fulikivanú+
Pea tāmalaki kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻauʻauʻanga uité.+
27 Ko e mānava ʻa ha tangata ko e maama ia ʻa Sihova,
ʻOkú ne fakamaama ai hono tangata ʻi lotó.
28 Ko e ʻofa mateakí mo e faitōnungá ʻokú na maluʻi ʻa e tuʻí;+
ʻI he ʻofa mateakí ʻokú ne fokotuʻu maʻu ai ʻa hono taloní.+
