1 Naʻe pehē ʻE Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, "Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,

kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe."

2 ‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae tokotoko ʻo ho mālohi mei Saione:

"Ke ke pule ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ngaahi fili."

3 ‌ʻE loto matala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ho mālohi, ʻi he ngaahi teunga matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni mei he manāva ʻoe pongipongi:

ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae hahau ʻo hoʻo talavou.

4 Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai liliu ia,

"Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo lauikuonga ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melikiseteke."

5 Ko e ʻEiki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu,

te ne taaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau.

6 Te ne fakamaau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni,

te ne fakapito ʻae ngaahi potu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻangaʻanga;

ʻe lavea ʻiate ia ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi fonua lahi.

7 ‌ʻE inu ia ʻi he vaitafe ʻi he hala: ko ia te ne hiki hake ai ʻae ʻulu.
