1 Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa.
2 Ka ko au naʻe meimei mole hoku vaʻe: naʻaku meimei hekea ʻi heʻeku ngaahi laka.
3 He naʻaku meheka ʻi he kau vale, ʻi heʻeku mamata ki he fiemālie ʻae angakovi.
4 He ʻoku ʻikai hanau mamahi ʻi heʻenau mate: ka ʻoku maʻu pe honau mālohi.
5 ʻOku ʻikai moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai kehe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai niʻihi.
6 Ko ia ʻoku takatakai ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he laukau ʻo hangē ko e ukamea fihifihi; ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he angamālohi ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
7 ʻOku hohopo honau mata ʻi heʻenau sino: ʻoku nau maʻu meʻa ʻo lahi hake ʻi he holi ʻoe loto.
8 Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea lea kovi ʻi he fakamālohi: ʻoku nau lea fakafiefielahi.
