2 ʻOku ke fakaʻofoʻofa lahi ʻi he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata: kuo lilingi ʻae ʻofa ki ho loungutu: ko ia kuo fakamonūʻia ai koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga.
3 ʻE Fungani Māfimafi ke ke nonoʻo hoʻo heletā ki ho tuʻatenga, ʻi ho nāunau mo ho mālohi.
4 Pea ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ke ke hāʻele monūʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he moʻoni mo e angavaivai mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe ako kiate koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia.
5 ʻOku māsila hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi he loto ʻoe ngaahi fili ʻoe tuʻi; ʻoku tō ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻiate koe.
6 ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia.
7 ʻOku ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala: ko ia ko e ʻOtua ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.
8 ʻOku namu mula, mo ʻalosi, mo kāsia, ʻa ho ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, mei he ngaahi fale lei, ʻaia kuo nau fakafiefiaʻi koe.
9 Naʻe ʻi hoʻo kau fefine ongolelei ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he koula mei Ofeli.
10 Fakafanongo, ʻE ʻofefine, pea tokanga, ʻo fakatokangaʻi ho telinga; fakangaloʻi foki hoʻo kakai ʻaʻau, mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai;
11 Ko ia ʻe manako lahi ai ʻae tuʻi ki ho hoihoifua: he ko ho ʻEiki ia; pea ke hū kiate ia.
