Saame 18:38-50

³⁸Kuo nau makafokafo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau faʻa tuʻu hake: kuo nau tō ki hoku lalo vaʻe.

³⁹He naʻa ke nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ki he tau: kuo ke fakavaivai ki lalo ʻiate au ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au.

⁴⁰Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili; koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.

⁴¹Naʻa nau tangi, ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke fakamoʻui: ʻio, kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ʻakinautolu.

⁴²Pea ne u toki tali ʻakinautolu ʻo momosi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi: naʻaku lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻi he ngaahi hala.

⁴³Kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he ngaahi fekeʻikeʻi ʻoe kakai; pea kuo ke ngaohi au ko e ʻulu ki he hiteni: ko e kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi te nau tauhi au.

⁴⁴‌ʻOka nau ka fanongo kiate au, te nau talangofua leva kiate au: ko e kau muli te nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate au.

⁴⁵‌ʻE fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi muli, pea te nau manavahē mei honau ngaahi potu lilo.

⁴⁶‌ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea fakafetaʻi ki hoku makatuʻu; pea tuku ke hakeakiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.

⁴⁷Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku langomia au, ʻo ne fakavaivai ʻae kakai kiate au.

⁴⁸‌ʻOku ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻio, ʻoku ke hiki au ke u māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angamālohi.

⁴⁹Ko ia te u fakafetaʻi ai kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.

⁵⁰‌ʻOku ne tuku ʻae fakamoʻui lahi ki heʻene tuʻi; ʻo ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, kia Tevita, mo hono hako ʻo taʻengata.
