Saame 37:7-19

⁷Ke ke fakalongo pē kia Sihova, pea tatali faʻa kātaki pe kiate ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku monūʻia ʻi hono hala, koeʻuhi ko e tangata ʻoku fakahoko ʻae ngaahi filioʻi kovi.

⁸Tukuange ʻae ʻita, pea liʻaki ʻae lili: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi foki koe ʻi ha meʻa ke fai kovi.

⁹Koeʻuhi ʻe motuhi ʻae ngaahi fai kovi: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova, te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.

¹⁰He ʻoku toetoe siʻi pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻae angakovi: ʻio, te ke tokanga lahi ki hono potu, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ia.

¹¹Ka ko e angamalū tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono lahi ʻoe melino.

¹²‌ʻOku fakakaukau kovi ʻe he angahala ki he angatonu, mo ngaiʻi kiate ia ʻaki hono nifo.

¹³‌ʻE kata ʻa Sihova kiate ia: he ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku haʻu hono ʻaho.

¹⁴Kuo unuhi ʻe he kau angakovi ʻae heletā, pea kuo nau teke ʻenau kaufana, ke lī ki lalo ʻae mamahi mo e paea, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku angatotonu.

¹⁵‌ʻE ʻasi ʻenau heletā ki honau loto ʻonautolu, pea ʻe mafesi ʻenau ngaahi kaufana.

¹⁶‌ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻoku ʻi he tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he koloa ʻoe tokolahi ʻoku angahala.

¹⁷Koeʻuhi ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻoe kau angahala: ka ʻoku poupou ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni.

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.
