1 ‌ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi;

ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.

2 "ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu,

pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?" Sila.

3 "Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate:

fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.

4 Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea:

fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala."

5 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo,

pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo;

ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli:

kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

6 Naʻaku pehē, "Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu;

pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

7 Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata,

pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki."

8 Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani:

he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.
