2 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou tangi ʻi he ʻaho, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ongoʻi; pea ʻi he pō, ʻoku ʻikai te u longo pē.
3 Ka ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
4 Naʻe falala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe: naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
5 Naʻa nau tangi kiate koe, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: naʻa nau falala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mā.
6 Ka ko e kelemutu au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata: ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe tangata, ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai.
