¹Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi ko Limueli, ko e tala naʻe akonaki ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene faʻē.

²“Ko e hā, ʻeku tama? Pea ko e hā, ʻae tama ʻo hoku manāva? Pea ko e hā, ʻae tama ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fuakava?

³‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ho mālohi ki he kakai fefine, pe ko ho ngaahi hala ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi.

⁴‌ʻOku ʻikai taau mo e ngaahi tuʻi, ʻE Limueli, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo e ngaahi tuʻi ke faʻa inu kava pe ke inu ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae kava kona.

⁵Telia naʻa nau inu, pea ngalo ai ʻae fono, pea taʻetotonu ai ʻae fakamaau, ki he kakai ʻoku mamahi.

⁶‌ʻAtu ʻae kava mālohi kiate ia ʻoku meimei mate, mo e uaine kiate kinautolu ʻoku māfasia honau loto.

⁷Tuku ke ne inu ke ngalo ai ʻene masiva, pea ʻoua naʻa toe manatu ki heʻene mamahi.

⁸Ke matoʻo ho ngutu koeʻuhi ko e noa, ʻi he meʻa ʻanautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamaau ki he mate.

⁹Matoʻo ho ngutu, pea ke fakamaau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke langomakiʻi ʻae masiva, pea mo e paea ʻi heʻene meʻa.”

¹⁰Ko hai ʻoku faʻa maʻu ʻae fefine fai lelei? He ʻoku maʻongoʻonga ia ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa.
