Lea Fakatātā 30:13-29

¹³‌ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻOi seuke! Hono ʻikai māʻolunga ʻa honau mata! Pea kuo nau hiki hake honau laumata.

¹⁴‌ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻoku tatau honau nifo mo e heletā, mo honau ngao ʻoku hangē ko e hele, ke kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae masiva mei he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻosi mo e paea mei he kakai.

¹⁵“ʻOku maʻu ʻe he aluka ʻae ʻofefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku tangi, ‘Foaki mai, foaki mai.’ “ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ke fiemālie, ʻio, ʻoku fā ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi:’

¹⁶Ko e faʻitoka; mo e manāva ʻoku paʻa; ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻikai pito ʻi he vai; pea mo e afi ʻoku ʻikai ke pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi.’

¹⁷“Ko e mata ʻoku manuki ki heʻene tamai, pea ʻikai tokanga ke fai talangofua ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe kapeʻi ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻoe teleʻa, pea ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga ʻikale iiki.

¹⁸‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au, ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi.

¹⁹Ko e punaʻanga ʻoe ʻikale ʻi he ʻatā; mo e hala ʻoe ngata ʻi he funga maka; mo e ʻaluʻanga ʻoe vaka ʻi he loto vaha; mo e anga ʻae tangata ki he tāupoʻou.

²⁰‌ʻOku pehē ʻae anga ʻae fefine tonotangata; ʻoku ne kai, ʻo ne holoholo hono ngutu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u fai ha kovi.”

²¹Ko e meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku maveuveu ai ʻa māmani, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai ke ne faʻa kātakiʻi:

²²Ko e tamaioʻeiki kuo fakanofo ke pule; mo e tangata vale kuo mākona ʻi he meʻakai;

²³Mo e fefine anga fakalielia kuo mali; mo e kaunanga ʻoku hoko ki he koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki fefine.

²⁴‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku iiki ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ka ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau poto:

²⁵Ko e lō, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ke mālohi, ka ʻoku nau tokonaki ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana.

²⁶Ko e fanga safana, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku vaivai pe, ka ʻoku nau ngaohi honau fale ʻi he ngaahi maka;

²⁷‌ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ha tuʻi ʻe he fanga heʻe, ka ʻoku nau puna fakataha atu;

²⁸‌ʻOku puke ʻaki ʻe he hina ʻa hono nima, ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.

²⁹‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku lelei ʻenau ʻalu, ʻio, ʻoku fā, ʻae meʻa ʻoku matalelei ʻenau ʻalu:
