1–5 ʻOku fakahā ʻe Tevita ʻae tangata totonu ʻoe kolo ko Saione.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1‌ʻE Sihova, ko hai te ne nofo ʻi ho fale fehikitaki?

Ko hai te ne nofomaʻu ʻi ho moʻunga māʻoniʻoni?

2Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu, pea ngāue ʻi he māʻoniʻoni,

mo lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻi hono loto.

3Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lauʻikovi ʻaki hono ʻelelo,

pe fai kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi,

pe toʻo hake ʻae lea kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi.

4‌ʻAia ʻoku kovi ki hono mata ʻae tangata fai kovi;

ka ʻoku ne fakaʻapaʻapa kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova.

ʻOku ne fuakava, pea kovi ai ia, ka ʻe ʻikai liliu ai.

5Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻange ʻene ngaahi paʻanga koeʻuhi ko e totongi,

pe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae totongi ke fai kovi ki he māʻoniʻoni.

Ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia ʻo taʻengata.
