1 Ko e kovi ʻae kakai angahala. 5 Ko hono lelei lahi ʻoe ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua. 10 ʻOku lotu ʻa Tevita ke maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻe he fānau ʻae ʻOtua.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.

1‌ʻOku lea ʻae talangataʻa ʻae angakovi ki hoku loto,

“ʻoku ʻikai ha manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻao.”

2He ʻoku ne fakaholoholoʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi hono ʻao,

ke ʻoua ke hoko ʻo hā mai ʻae kovi ʻo ʻene hia.

3Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu ko e kovi mo e kākā:

kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻene poto mo e fai lelei.

4‌ʻOku ne fifili ki he pauʻu ʻi hono mohenga;

ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ia ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei;

ʻoku ʻikai te ne fehiʻa ki he kovi.

5Ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi;

pea ʻoku aʻu hake hoʻo angatonu ki he ngaahi ʻao.

6Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua;

ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ko e fuʻu moana;

ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻae tangata mo e manu.

7‌ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga fau ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa!

Ko ia ʻoku falala ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau.

8Te nau fonu lahi ʻi he mahu lelei ʻo ho fale;

pea te ke fakainu ʻakinautolu ʻi he vaitafe ʻo hoʻo fiemālie.

9He ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae matavai ʻoe moʻui:

temau mamata ʻi hoʻo maama ki he maama.

10Ke tuʻumaʻu pe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo koe;

mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he angatonu ʻi loto.

11‌ʻOua naʻa hoko kiate au ʻae vaʻe ʻoe laukau,

pea ʻoua naʻa hiki au ʻe he nima ʻoe angakovi.

12Kuo hinga ʻi ai ʻae kau fai kovi: kuo lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu,

pea ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tuʻu hake.
