Saame 39:5-9

⁵Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ke tatau mo e ʻaofinima pe taha; pea ko ʻeku moʻui ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi ho ʻao: ko e moʻoni ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ko e mātuʻaki vaʻinga ia. Sila.

⁶Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻata loi: ko e moʻoni kuo nau mamahi taʻeʻaonga: ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae koloa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai te ne maʻu ia.

⁷Pea ko eni, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ou tatali ai? ʻOku ʻiate koe pē ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei.

⁸Fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa ke ngaohi au ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe vale.”

⁹Naʻaku noa, naʻe ʻikai te u mafaʻa hoku ngutu; koeʻuhi ko koe naʻa ke fai ia.
