Saame 35:9-22

⁹Pea ʻe fiefia hoku laumālie ʻia Sihova: ʻe nekeneka ia ʻi heʻene fakamoʻui.

¹⁰‌ʻE pehē ʻe hoku ngaahi hui kotoa pē, “ʻE Sihova, ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakahaofi ʻae masiva meiate ia ʻoku mālohi lahi ʻiate ia, ʻio, ʻae masiva mo e paea meiate ia ʻoku ne fakamālohiʻi ia?”

¹¹Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau fakamoʻoni loi; naʻa nau tuku kiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo.

¹²Naʻa nau totongi kovi ki heʻeku lelei ke fakamasivaʻi hoku laumālie.

¹³Ka ko au, naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, ʻi honau mahaki: naʻaku fakavaivai hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻaukai; pea naʻe foki mai ʻeku lotu ki hoku fatafata.

¹⁴Naʻaku fai ʻo hangē ko hoku kāinga ia, pe ko hoku tokoua: naʻaku tulolo hifo fakamamahi pē, ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoku tangi koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē.

¹⁵Ka ʻi heʻeku tuʻutāmaki naʻa nau fiefia, ʻonau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu: ʻio, naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻae kakai faʻa tā ʻo tuʻu kiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa; naʻa nau haehae, pea naʻe ʻikai longo pē:

¹⁶Naʻa nau fakalili honau nifo kiate au, mo e kau mālualoi ʻoku manuki ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga.

¹⁷‌ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo ʻafio ki ai? Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei heʻenau ngaahi fakamalaʻia, mo ʻeku moʻui mei he fanga laione.

¹⁸Te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻi he fakataha lahi: te u fakaongoongolelei koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai lahi.

¹⁹‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ke fiefia kiate au ʻakinautolu kuo hoko noa pē ko hoku fili: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke lalama honau mata ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga.

²⁰He ʻoku ʻikai te nau lea lelei: ka ʻoku nau fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kākā kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo fiemālie ʻi he fonua.

²¹‌ʻIo, kuo nau fakamanga honau ngutu ʻo lahi kiate au, ʻonau pehē, “Ha ha, kuo mamata ki ai homau mata.”

²²Kuo ke ʻafioʻi eni, ʻE Sihova: ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au.
