1–29 Pea hokohoko atu ki he ngaahi vahe hoko...
1ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻae tangata ʻoku masiva kae ʻalu ʻi heʻene angatonu,
ʻiate ia ʻoku kovi hono loungutu, pea ʻoku vale.
2Ko eni foki, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ki he laumālie ke taʻepoto:
pea ko ia ʻoku ʻoho veʻe vave ʻoku angahala ia.
3Ko e meʻa ʻi he vale ʻoe tangata ʻoku pikopiko ai hono hala:
pea ʻoku lāunga ai hono loto kia Sihova.
4ʻOku fakatokolahi ʻae kaumeʻa ʻe he koloa:
ka ʻoku vāmamaʻo ʻae masiva mo hono kaungāʻapi.
5ʻE ʻikai tuku ke taʻetautea ʻae fakamoʻoni loi,
pea ʻe ʻikai hao ia ʻaia ʻoku faʻa lea ʻaki ʻae loi.
6ʻE kole tōtōaki ʻe he tokolahi ke ʻofa mai ʻae houʻeiki:
pea ʻoku kaumeʻa ʻae kakai kotoa pē mo ia ʻoku faʻa foaki.
7ʻOku fehiʻa ki he masiva ʻa hono tokoua kotoa pē:
kae huanoa ʻae fakamōmoa ʻa hono kāinga pe kiate ia!
ʻOku ne tangi toupili kiate kinautolu, ka ʻoku nau taʻetokangaʻi.
8Ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻae poto ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona:
pea ko ia ʻoku tauhi ʻae faʻa ʻilo ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae lelei.
9ʻE ʻikai tuku ke taʻetautea ʻae fakamoʻoni loi,
pea ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻaia ʻoku faʻa lea ʻaki ʻae loi.
10ʻOku ʻikai ngali mo e vale ʻae fiefia;
kae huanoa hono taʻengali ʻoe pule ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he houʻeiki.
11ʻOku fakatuotuai ʻae ʻita ʻe he fakapotopoto ʻae tangata:
pea ko e meʻa ʻoku ne ongoongolelei ai ko ʻene fakamolemole ha angahala.
12ʻOku tatau ʻae tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi mo e ngungulu ʻae laione;
ka ko ʻene loto lelei ʻoku hangē ko e hahau ki he mohuku.
13Ko e foha vale ko e fakamamahiʻi ia ʻo ʻene tamai:
pea ko e faʻa kē ʻae fefine ʻoku mali ʻoku tatau mo e hafu maʻuaipē ʻae vai.
14Ko e fale mo e koloa ko e tofiʻa ia ʻokinautolu kuo hoko ko e tamai:
pea ko e fefine alafia ʻoku anga fakapotopoto ʻoku meia Sihova ia.
15ʻOku hoko ʻae mohe maʻu ʻi he fakapikopiko;
pea ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki ʻae fiekaia ʻae laumālie ʻoku fakapikopiko.
16Ko ia ʻoku tauhi ʻae fekau ʻoku ne tauhi ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona:
ka ko ia ʻoku taʻetokanga ki hono ngaahi hala ʻe mate ia.
17Ko ia ʻoku manavaʻofa ki he masiva ʻoku foaki ʻe ia kia Sihova:
pea ko ia kuo ne foaki te ne toe totongi kiate ia.
18Tautea ho foha ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku ai ha ʻamanaki lelei kiate ia,
pea ʻoua naʻa ke mamae koeʻuhi ko ʻene tangi.
19ʻE hoko ʻae tautea ki he tangata ʻoku faʻa ʻita:
he kapau te ke langomakiʻi ia, te ke toe fiu pe ʻi hono fai.
20Fanongo ki he tala fakapoto, pea ke maʻu ʻae akonaki,
koeʻuhi ke ke poto ai ʻi ho ngataʻanga.
21ʻOku lahi ʻae filioʻi ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata;
ka e tuʻumaʻu pē ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova.
22ʻOku holi ʻae tangata ke ne angalelei:
pea ʻoku lelei hake ʻae tangata masiva ʻi he tangata ʻoku loi.
23ʻOku hoko ki he moʻui ʻae manavahē kia Sihova:
pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu ia; ʻe ʻikai ʻaʻahi kiate ia ha kovi.
24ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko ʻa hono nima ki hono fatafata,
pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne toe faʻa ʻomi ia ki hono ngutu.
25Teʻia ʻaia ʻoku manuki, pea ʻe tokanga ai ʻae taʻepoto:
pea valokiʻi ia ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau, pea te ne ʻilo ai ʻae poto.
26Ko ia ʻoku ne fakamasivaʻi ʻa ʻene tamai, pea kapusi atu ʻa ʻene faʻē,
ko e foha ia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae mā, pea ʻoku haʻu mo ia ʻae manuki.
27ʻE hoku foha, ke tukuā, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fanongo ki he akonaki ʻaia,
ʻoku tupu ai ʻae hē mei he ngaahi lea ʻae poto.
28ʻOku manukiʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻe he fakamoʻoni angakovi:
pea ʻoku kai ʻae kovi ʻe he ngutu ʻoe angahala.
29ʻOku talifaki ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ki he kau manuki,
mo e ngaahi tā ki he tuʻa ʻoe kakai vale.
