Saame 31:4-23

⁴Toho au mei he kupenga kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū kiate au: he ko koe ko hoku mālohi.

⁵‌ʻOku ou tuku atu hoku laumālie ki ho nima: kuo ke huhuʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni.

⁶Naʻaku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga loi pē: ka ʻoku ou falala kia Sihova.

⁷Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: he kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi; kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi mamahi;

⁸Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuni au ʻi he nima ʻoe fili: kuo ke fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā lahi.

⁹‌ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku ou moʻua ʻi he mamahi: kuo ʻauha hoku mata ʻi he tangi, ʻio, ko hoku laumālie mo hoku kete.

¹⁰He kuo ʻosi ʻeku moʻui ʻi he tangi, mo hoku ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mafulu: kuo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi hoku mālohi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku hia, pea kuo ʻauha hoku ngaahi hui.

¹¹Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻo hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe ki hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi, pea ko e ilifiaʻanga ʻo hoku kaumeʻa: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata kiate au ʻi tuaʻā naʻa nau hola ʻiate au.

¹²Kuo fakangalongaloʻi au mei he loto ʻo hangē ko e tangata kuo mate: kuo u tatau mo e ipu kuo maumau.

¹³He naʻaku fanongo ki he lauʻikovi ʻe he tokolahi: naʻe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: lolotonga ʻenau fakakaukau fakataha kiate au, naʻa nau loto ke toʻo ʻeku moʻui.

¹⁴Ka naʻaku falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova: naʻaku pehē, Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua.

¹⁵Ko hoku ngaahi kuonga ʻoku ʻi ho nima: ke ke fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au.

¹⁶Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.

¹⁷‌ʻOua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, ʻe Sihova; he naʻaku ui kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻae kau angahala, tuku ke nau longo pē ʻi he faʻitoka.

¹⁸Tuku ke fakalongo pē ʻae ngaahi loungutu loi; ʻaia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamamahi ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fielahi mo e manuki.

¹⁹‌ʻOku fēfē hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angalelei, ʻaia kuo ke hilifaki maʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe; ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata!

²⁰Te ke fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lilo ʻo ho fofonga mei he fielahi ʻae tangata: te ke tauhi fakafufū pe ʻakinautolu ʻi ha ʻafioʻanga mei he fakakikihi ʻoe ngaahi ʻelelo.

²¹Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahā kiate au ʻene angalelei fakaofo ʻi he kolo mālohi.

²²He naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “kuo motuhi au mei he ʻao ʻo ho fofonga:” ka naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu ʻi heʻeku tangi kiate koe.

²³Mou ʻofa kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē: he ʻoku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kau angatonu, pea ʻoku ne totongi lahi ki he kau fai fakafielahi.
