1 "Vakai mai, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fieinu, haʻu ki he ngaahi vai,

pea mo ia ʻoku ʻikai haʻane paʻanga; mou haʻu, ʻo fakatau, pea kai;

ʻio, haʻu ʻo fakatau uaine mo e huʻahuhu taʻehapaʻanga pea taʻehatotongi.

2 Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻatu ai ʻae paʻanga ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ko e mā?

Mo hoʻomou ngāue ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai fakamākona?

Mou fanongo ʻo tokanga kiate au, pea mou kai ʻaia ʻoku lelei,

pea tuku ke fiefia homou laumālie ʻi he meʻakai lelei lahi.

3 Fakatokangaʻi homou telinga, pea haʻu kiate au fanongo,

pea ʻe moʻui homou laumālie,

pea te u fai ʻae fuakava taʻengata mo kimoutolu, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa tuʻumaʻu kia Tevita.

4 Vakai, kuo u foaki ia ko e fakamoʻoni ki he kakai,

ko e takimuʻa mo e pule ki he kakai.

5 Vakai, te ke ui ʻae puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ni,

pea ko e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe te nau lele kiate koe

koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,

pea koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli;

he kuo ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe."

6 Mou kumi kia Sihova ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku faʻa ʻilo ia,

ui kiate ia ʻi heʻene kei ofi:
