14 ‌ʻI he ʻikai ha faʻa fakakaukau ʻoku hinga ʻae kakai:

17 ‌ʻOku fai lelei ʻe he tangata angaʻofa ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona:

ka ko ia ʻoka anga fakamālohi ʻoku ne fakamamahiʻi hono kakano ʻoʻona.

18 ‌ʻOku fai ʻe he angahala ʻae ngāue fakakākaaʻi:

19 ‌ʻO hangē ʻoku fakatau ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki he moʻui:

ʻoku pehē, ko ia ʻoku tulituli pau ki he kovi ʻoku ne fai ia ke ne mate ai ia.

20 Ko kinautolu ʻoku loto pikopiko ʻoku fakalielia kia Sihova:

ka ʻoku fiemālie ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu honau hala.

21 Neongo ʻae fepukeaki ʻae nima ʻoe kakai angahala ʻe ʻikai taʻetautea ʻakinautolu:

ka ʻe fakamoʻui ʻae hako ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

22 ‌ʻO hangē ko e mama koula ʻi he ihu ʻoe puaka,

ʻoku pehē ʻae fefine hoihoifua ʻoku ʻikai ke anga fakapotopoto.

23 ‌ʻOku lelei maʻu pe ʻae holi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni:

ka ko e houhau ʻoku ʻamanaki ki ai ʻae angahala.

24 ‌ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku faʻa foaki, kae maʻu ai ʻo lahi:

pea ʻoku ai ʻoku taʻofi ʻi he meʻa ʻoku totonu ke fai,

ka ʻoku tupu ai ʻa ʻene masiva.

25 ‌ʻE fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ʻae loto ʻoku faʻa ʻofa:

pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa fakaviviku ʻe fakaviviku ia foki.

26 ‌ʻE fakamalaʻia ia ʻe he kakai ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ʻae meʻakai:

ka ʻe hilifaki ʻae monūʻia ki hono ʻulu ʻaia ʻoku faʻa fakatau ia.

27 ‌ʻOku maʻu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻe ia ʻoku kumi fakamātoato ki he lelei:

ka ko ia ʻoku kumi ki he kovi, ʻe hoko mai pe ia kiate ia.

28 ‌ʻE hinga ia ʻaia ʻoku falala ki heʻene koloa:

ka ʻe tupu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e vaʻa.

29 Ko ia ʻoku faʻa fakafiuʻi ʻa hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻe maʻu pe ʻe ia ʻae matangi:

pea ʻe hoko ʻae vale ko e tamaioʻeiki kiate ia ʻoku poto hono loto.

30 Ko e fua ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui;

pea ko ia ʻoku lavaʻi ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻoku poto ia.

31 Vakai, ʻe maʻu totongi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he māmani:

ka ʻe lahi hake ʻene maʻu totongi ʻe he angakovi mo e angahala.
