1 ʻOua naʻa ke polepole ki he ʻapongipongi; he ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te ke faʻa ʻilo ʻae meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi ha ʻaho.
2 Tuku ke fakamālō kiate koe ʻe ha tangata kehe, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ho ngutu ʻoʻou pe; ko e taha kehe, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi ho loungutu ʻoʻou.
3 ʻOku mamafa ʻae maka, pea ko e meʻa mamafa mo e ʻoneʻone, ka ko e ʻita ʻae vale ʻoku mamafa hake ia ʻi ai.
4 ʻOku fakamālohi ʻae houhau, pea ko e meʻa fakalili ʻae ʻita; ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa kātakiʻi ʻae fuaʻa?
5 ʻOku lelei hake ʻae valoki ʻoku fai fakahā, ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku fakalilolilo.
6 Ko e lavea mei he kāinga ko e angatonu ia; ka ko e ngaahi ʻuma mei ha fili ko e kākā ia.
7 ʻOku fehiʻa ʻaia ʻoku mākona ki he ngeʻesi ʻoe honi; ka ʻoku huʻamelie ʻae meʻa konā kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku fiekaia.
8 ʻOku tatau mo e manupuna kuo hē mei hono pununga, ʻae tangata ko ia kuo hē mei hono nofoʻanga.
9 ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto ʻaki ʻae lolo tākai mo e meʻa namu kakala: ʻoku pehē ʻae lelei ʻoe kāinga ki ha tangata, ko e meʻa ʻi he akonakiʻi ʻoku fai mei he loto.
10 ʻOua naʻa ke siʻaki ho kāinga ʻoʻou, pe ko e kāinga ʻo hoʻo tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ho tokoua ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo mamahi: he ʻoku lelei hake ho kaungāʻapi pe ʻoku ofi, ʻi ho tokoua ka ʻoku ne mamaʻo.
11 ʻE hoku foha, ke ke poto koe, pea ke fakafiefiaʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa tali ia ʻaia ʻoku manuki kiate au.
12 ʻOku sio mamaʻo atu ʻae tangata fakapotopoto ki he kovi, ʻo ne fufū ia mei ai: ka ʻoku mole atu pe ʻae vale, pea tautea ia.
