1–12 ʻI he lāunga ʻae palōfita ki he taʻetui, ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻo Kalaisi pea mo hono mahuʻinga ʻo ia.
1 Ko hai kuo ne tui ki he ʻemau ongoongo?
Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?
2 He te ne tupu hake ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau matengofua,
pea hangē ko e aka mei he kelekele mōmoa:
ʻoku ʻikai ha sino lelei pe ha toulekeleka ʻiate ia,
pea ka tau ka mamata kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻofoʻofa ke tau manako ai kiate ia.
3 ʻOku fehiʻanekina ia pea liʻaki ʻe he tangata;
ko e tangata ʻoe ngaahi mamahi,
pea maheni ai mo e loto mamahi:
pea hangē naʻa tau fufū hotau mata meiate ia;
kuo manuki ia,
pea naʻe ʻikai te tau tokanga kiate ia.
4 Ko e moʻoni kuo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi vaivai,
ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahi:
ka naʻa tau mahalo kuo tautea mo taaʻi ia mei he ʻOtua,
pea mamahiʻia.
5 Ka naʻe lavea ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala,
naʻe fakavolu ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi hia:
naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tautea koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie;
pea ʻi hono ngaahi tā ʻoku tau moʻui ai.
6 Kuo tau hē kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi;
kuo tau afe taki taha kotoa pē ki hono hala;
pea kuo hilifaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻatautolu kotoa pē.
7 Naʻe fakamālohia,
pea naʻe mamahi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mafaʻa hono fofonga:
ʻoku tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e lami ke tāmateʻi,
pea hangē ko e sipi ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi,
pea naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga.
8 Naʻe ʻave ia mei he fale fakapōpula, pea mei he fakamaau:
pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga?
He naʻe tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui:
naʻe teʻia ia koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku kakai.
9 Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni hono tanuʻanga mo e kakai angahala,
pea fakataha mo e maʻumeʻa ʻi heʻene pekia;
koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne fai kovi,
pea naʻe ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono fofonga.
10 Ka naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakavolu ia;
kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae mamahi:
ʻoka ke ka ngaohi hono laumālie ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e hia,
te ne mamata ki hono hako,
te ne fakatolotolonga hono ngaahi ʻaho,
pea ko e finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻe monūʻia ia ʻi hono nima.
11 He te ne vakai ki he fua ʻoe mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie,
pea fiemālie ai ia:
ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki māʻoniʻoni ʻae tokolahi;
he te ne fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
12 Ko ia te u vaheʻi kiate ia ha ʻinasi fakataha mo e kakai ongoongo,
pea te ne vahevahe ʻae koloa fakataha mo e kakai mālohi;
koeʻuhi naʻa ne lilingi hono laumālie ki he mate:
pea naʻe lau ia fakataha mo e kau angahala;
pea naʻa ne fua ʻae hia ʻoe toko lahi,
pea ne hūfekina ʻae kakai angahala.
