27 Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Siope ʻene leá* ʻo ne pehē:
2 “ʻOku ou fuakava ʻi he ʻOtua moʻuí, ʻa ia kuo ʻikai te ne fakaai kiate au ʻa e fakamaau totonú,+
ʻOku ou fuakava ʻi he moʻui ʻa e Māfimafi-Aoniú, ʻa ia kuó ne fakamamahiʻi aú,+
3 ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e kei ʻiate au ʻeku mānavá
Pea ʻi hoku avaʻi ihú+ ʻa e laumālie mei he ʻOtuá,
4 ʻE ʻikai lea taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻa hoku loungutú;
Pe muhumuhu ʻaki ʻe hoku ʻeleló ha kākā!
5 Mole ke mamaʻo haʻaku lau kimoutolu ko ha kau tangata māʻoniʻoni!
ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ange* ʻeku anga-tonú+ ʻo aʻu ki haʻaku mate!
6 Te u tauhi maʻu ʻeku māʻoniʻoní pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u tuku ange ia;+
ʻE ʻikai ke fakahalaiaʻi* au ʻe hoku lotó ʻi he lolotonga ʻeku kei moʻuí.*
7 ʻOfa ke hoko hoku filí ʻo hangē ko e fulikivanú,
Mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻohofi aú ke nau hangē ko e taʻemāʻoniʻoní.
8 He ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tangata anga-taʻefakaʻotuá* ʻi hono fakaʻauha iá,+
ʻI hono toʻo ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻene moʻuí?
9 ʻE fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻene tangí
ʻI he hoko kiate ia ʻa e faingataʻá?+
10 Pe te ne maʻu ha fiefia ʻi he Māfimafi-Aoniú?
Te ne ui ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi kotoa pē?
11 Te u akoʻi kimoutolu ʻo kau ki he mālohi* ʻo e ʻOtuá;
Heʻikai te u fufū ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo e Māfimafi-Aoniú.
12 Vakai! Kapau naʻa mou mata vīsone kotoa,
Ko e hā ʻoku hoko ai hoʻomou ngaahi leá ko e koto launoa ʻataʻatā peé?
13 Ko e ʻinasi eni ʻo e tangata fulikivanú mei he ʻOtuá,+
Ko e tofiʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau pule kakahá mei he Māfimafi-Aoniú.
14 Kapau ʻe tokolahi hono ngaahi fohá, te nau tō ʻi he heletā,+
Pea ko hono hakó ʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ha meʻakai feʻunga.
15 Ko e faʻahinga ʻe toe ʻiate iá ʻe tanu ʻe he mahaki fakaʻauhá,
Pea ko ʻenau kau uitoú ʻe ʻikai te nau tengihia kinautolu.
16 Neongo kapau te ne tānaki ʻo fokotuʻunga ʻa e silivá ʻo hangē ko e efú
Pea tānaki ha ngaahi teunga lelei ʻo hangē ha fokotuʻunga ʻumeá,
17 Neongo te ne tānaki ia,
ʻE tui ia ʻe he tangata māʻoniʻoní,+
Pea ʻe vahevahe ʻe he tonuhiá ʻa ʻene silivá.
18 Ko e fale ʻokú ne langá ʻoku vaivai ʻo hangē ko e nofoʻanga ʻo e muú heʻene kei ʻunufé,
Hangē ko ha fakapalepale+ kuo ngaohi ʻe ha tangata leʻó.
19 Te ne tokoto ʻo mohe ʻi he koloaʻia ka ʻe halaʻatā ha meʻa te ne tānaki;
ʻI he ʻā hake hono matá, ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha.
20 Ko e manavaheé te ne lōmekina ia hangē ha tāfeá;
ʻE hamusi atu ia ʻe ha afā ʻi he poʻulí.+
21 ʻE ʻave ia ʻe ha matangi mei he hahaké, pea te ne puli atu ai pē;
Te ne tafiʻi atu ia mei hono feituʻú.+
