12 "Ka ʻe ʻilo ki fē ʻae poto?

Pea komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?

13 Ko hono mahuʻinga ʻo ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tangata;

pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.

14 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he loloto, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ia:’

ʻoku pehē mo e tahi, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au.’

15 ‌ʻE ʻikai faʻa maʻu ia ʻaki ʻae koula,

pea ʻe ʻikai fakamamafa ʻae siliva mo hono totongi ʻoʻona.

16 ‌ʻE ʻikai fakatauʻaki ia ʻae koula ʻo Ofeli,

pe ko e oniki mahuʻinga, pe ko e safaia.

17 ‌ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae koula mo e kalisitala:

pea ʻe ʻikai fetongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga koula lelei.

18 ‌ʻE ʻikai lau ki ai ʻae feo kulokula, mo e mataʻitofe:

he ko e mahuʻinga ʻoe poto ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.

19 ‌ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae topasi ʻo ʻItiopea,

pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa.

20 Ko ia, ʻoku haʻu mei fē ʻae poto?

pea ko maʻā ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?

21 He kuo fufū ia mei he mata ʻoe moʻui kotoa pē,

pea fakalilolilo mei he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā.

22 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakaʻauha mo e mate,

‘Kuo ma fanongo ki hono ongoongo ʻo ia ʻaki homa telinga.’
