TOHI 1

(Saame 1—41)

1 Ko e monūʻia ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, 4 Mo e malaʻia ʻoe angakovi.

1‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae angakovi,

pe tuʻu ʻi he hala ʻoe kau angahala,

pe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe manuki.

2Ka ko ʻene fiefia ʻoku ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova;

pea ko ʻene fono ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.

3Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻakau kuo tō ki he veʻe vaitafe,

ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi hono fua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu;

pea ko hono lau foki ʻe ʻikai mae;

pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai ʻe monūʻia.

4‌ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻae angakovi:

ka ʻoku tatau ia mo e kafukafu ʻaia ʻoku vilingia, ʻi he matangi.

5Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ʻae angakovi ʻi he fakamaau,

pe ko e angahala ʻi he fakataha ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

6He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni:

ka ko e hala ʻoe angakovi ʻe ʻauha ia.
