Saame 37:18-35

¹⁸‌ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kakai angatonu: pea ko honau tofiʻa ʻe tolonga taʻengata.

¹⁹‌ʻE ʻikai te nau mā ʻi he kuonga kovi, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe honge tenau mākona.

²⁰Ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae angakovi, pea ʻe tatau ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova mo e ngako ʻoe fanga lami: ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu; ʻi he kohu tenau mole ʻo ʻosi.

²¹‌ʻOku nō ʻae angakovi, pea ʻikai toe totongi: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻae ʻofa ʻe he māʻoniʻoni, ʻo foaki.

²²He ko kinautolu kuo tāpuekina ʻiate ia tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; pea ko kinautolu kuo malaʻia ʻiate ia ʻe motuhi.

²³‌ʻOku fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laka ʻae tangata lelei: pea ʻoku fiemālie ia ʻi hono hala.

²⁴Neongo ʻene tō ki lalo, ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ia: he ʻoku poupou hake ia ʻe he nima ʻo Sihova.

²⁵Naʻaku talavou, pea kuo u motuʻa; ka ʻoku teʻeki te u ʻilo ʻae māʻoniʻoni kuo liʻaki, pe ko hono hako ʻoku kole mā.

²⁶‌ʻOku angaʻofa maʻuaipē ia, pea faʻa ʻatu; pea ʻoku monūʻia hono hako.

²⁷Afe mei he kovi, pea ke fai lelei, pea nofomaʻu pē ʻo taʻengata.

²⁸He ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne liʻaki hono kakai māʻoniʻoni; kuo fakamoʻui maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae hako ʻoe angakovi.

²⁹‌ʻE maʻu ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻa e fonua, pea tenau nofo ai ʻo taʻengata.

³⁰Ko e ngutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae poto, pea talanoa ʻaki hono ʻelelo ʻae fakamaau.

³¹‌ʻOku ʻi hono loto ʻae fono ʻa hono ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai hekea ia ʻi haʻane laka ʻe taha.

³²‌ʻOku lamasi ʻe he angakovi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo kumi ke fakapoongi ia.

³³‌ʻE ʻikai tukuange ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima, pe tukuakiʻi ia ʻi hono fakamaauʻi.

³⁴Tatali kia Sihova, pea tauhi hono hala, pea te ne hakeakiʻi koe ke maʻu ʻae fonua: pea ka ʻosi hono motuhi ʻae kakai angakovi, te ke mamata ki ai.

³⁵Naʻaku mamata ki he angakovi kuo mālohi lahi, pea mafola ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau maʻuiʻui ʻoku tupu ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona.
