1 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke nekeneka, ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻi he fiefia, hangē ko e kakai kehe:

he kuo ke ʻalu ʻo feʻauaki mei ho ʻOtua,

kuo ke manako ʻae totongi ʻi he hahaʻanga koane kotoa pē.

2 Ko e hahaʻanga, mo e tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻe ʻikai fafanga ai ʻakinautolu,

pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae uaine foʻou.

3 ‌ʻE ʻikai te nau nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova;

ka ʻe tafoki ʻa ʻIfalemi ki ʻIsipite,

pea te nau kai ʻae meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻi ʻAsilia.

4 ‌ʻE ʻikai te nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae uaine kia Sihova,

pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fiemālie ai:

ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻe hangē ko e mā ʻae kau tangilāulau kiate kinautolu;

ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kai ai te nau ʻuli ai:

he ko e mā maʻa honau laumālie,

ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

5 Ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho mamafa,

pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga ʻa Sihova?

6 He, vakai, kuo nau ʻalu koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha:

ʻe tānaki ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻIsipite,

ʻe tanu ʻakinautolu ʻe Memifisi:

ko e ngaahi potu lelei ki heʻenau siliva, ʻe maʻu ia ʻe he hongohongo:

ʻe ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae ʻakau talatala.

7 Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi kuo hoko,

ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe totongi kuo hoko;

ʻe ʻilo ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ‘Ko e palōfita ko e vale ia,’

ʻoku faha ʻae tangata fakalaumālie,

ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo hia,

mo e fehiʻa lahi.

8 Ko e tangata leʻo ʻo ʻIfalemi naʻe ʻi hoku ʻOtua:

ka ko e palōfita ko e tauhele ʻae tangata tauhele manu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē,

mo e fehiʻanekina ʻi he fale ʻo hono ʻOtua.

9 Kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi lahi ʻakinautolu

ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kipea:

ko ia te ne manatu ʻenau hia,

te ne ʻaʻahi ki heʻenau angahala.

10 Ne u ʻilo ʻa ʻIsileli hangē ko e kālepi ʻi he toafa;

ne u mamata ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, hangē ko e tomuʻa momoho ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi hono ʻuluaki toʻukai:

ka ne nau ʻalu ki Peali-Peoli, pea mavahe ʻakinautolu ke nau mā;

pea ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia naʻe tatau mo ʻenau manako.

11 Ka ko ʻIfalemi, ʻe puna atu hono nāunau hangē ko e manupuna,

mei he fāʻele, mo e manāva, pea mei he tuituʻia.

12 Neongo ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fānau,

ka te u fakamasiva ʻakinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tangata:

ʻio, malaʻia foki kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka mahuʻi meiate kinautolu!

13 ‌ʻOku tō ʻa ʻIfalemi ʻi he potu lelei, hangē naʻaku mamata ki Taia;

ka ʻe fanauʻi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻa ʻene fānau ki he fakapō.

14 Foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻe Sihova: ko e hā te ke foaki?

Foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae manāva tōtama mo e huhu maha.

15 "Ko ʻenau angakovi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Kilikali:

he naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu:

koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau faianga, te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku fale,

ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻofa kiate kinautolu:

ko e kau angatuʻu ʻa honau houʻeiki kotoa pē.

16 Kuo taaʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi,

kuo mōmoa honau aka,

ʻe ʻikai te nau fua:

ʻio, neongo ʻoku nau fānau, ka te u tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofeina ʻa honau manāva."

17 Ko hoku ʻOtua te ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate ia:

pea te nau hoko ko e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
