1 ʻOku hola ʻa Tevita ki he ʻOtua ke ne fakamoʻui ia. 5 ʻOku ne fakahā ʻene ʻamanaki ki he toetuʻu mo e moʻui taʻengata.

Ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita.

1‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.

2‌ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe:

ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”

3Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani,

pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.

4‌ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe:

ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu,

pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.

5Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova:

ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.

6Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei;

ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.

7Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au:

ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.

8Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao:

ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.

9Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo:

ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.

10Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi;

pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.

11Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui:

ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao;

ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
