1 "ʻAi ʻae meʻalea ki ho ngutu.

Te ne haʻu ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ki he fale ʻo Sihova,

koeʻuhi kuo nau maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava,

pea fai talangataʻa ki heʻeku fono.

2 ‌ʻE tangi ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻilo koe.’

3 Kuo liʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei:

ʻe tuli ia ʻe he fili.

4 Kuo nau fakanofo ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, kae ʻikai ʻiate au:

kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo:

kuo nau ngaohi ʻaki ʻa ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula ʻae tamapua,

koeʻuhi ka nau ʻauha.

5 Ko hoʻo ʻuhiki pulu, ʻE Samēlia, kuo ne liʻaki koe;

kuo tupu ʻeku ʻita kiate kinautolu:

ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, ka nau hoko ʻo taʻehalaia?

6 He naʻe meia ʻIsileli foki ia:

ko e tufunga naʻa ne ngaohi ia; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia:

ka ko e pulu siʻi ʻa Samēlia, ʻe maumauʻi ia ke fakaikiiki.

7 He kuo nau tūtuuʻi ʻae matangi,

pea te nau utu ʻae ʻahiohio:

ʻoku ʻikai hano muka:

ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha mahoaʻa mei hono fua:

ka ai ha fua, ʻe kai ia ʻo ʻosi ʻe he kau muli.

8 Kuo fōngia hifo ʻa ʻIsileli:

te nau hoko ni ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fiemālie.

9 He kuo nau ʻalu hake ki ʻAsilia,

ha ʻasi kai vao tokotaha pe:

kuo unga ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae kau mamana.

10 ‌ʻIo, neongo kuo nau unga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga,

te u tānaki ni ʻakinautolu,

pea te nau mamahi siʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kavenga ʻae tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki.

11 Koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga lahi ke angahala,

ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ke angahala ai.

12 Kuo u tohi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻa ʻeku fono,

ka naʻe lau ia hangē ha meʻa kehe.

13 ‌ʻOku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae kakano,

ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi hifo, pea kai;

ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ia ʻe Sihova,

he te ne manatu ni ʻenau hia,

pea totongi ki heʻenau ngaahi angahala:

te nau liliu atu ki ʻIsipite.

14 He kuo fakangaloʻi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa hono Tupuʻanga, pea ʻoku ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki;

pea kuo fakalahi ʻe Siuta ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi:

ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki hono ngaahi kolo,

pea te ne kai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai."
