1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Pilitati mei Suaa, ʻo ne pehē,

2 "ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae pule mo e manavahēʻia,

ʻoku ne fakamelino ʻi hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

3 He ʻoku faʻa lauʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi matatau?

Pea ko hai ia ʻoku ʻikai hopo ki ai ʻa ʻene maama?

4 Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻe faʻa fakatonuhia fēfē ʻae tangata mo e ʻOtua?

Pea ʻe maʻa fēfē ʻaia kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine?

5 Vakai pē ki he māhina, pea ʻoku ʻikai huhulu ia;

ʻio, ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.

6 Ka ʻe huanoa ʻae tangata ʻaia ko e kelemutu?

Mo e foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ko e kelemutu?"
