1 ʻOku lotu ʻa Tevita ke ne moʻui, pea hanu ia koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi fili. 7 ʻOku ʻamanaki ia ke mamata ki he fakaʻauha ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻe fiefia ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1Fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku lotu:

fakahaofi ʻeku moʻui mei he manavahē ki he fili.

2Fakafufū au mei he filioʻi ʻae kau angahala;

mei he angatuʻu fakamaveuveu ʻoe kau fai kovi:

3‌ʻOku nau fakamata honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e heletā,

ʻonau teke ʻenau kaufana ke fanaʻi ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, ʻio, ko e ngaahi lea kona.

4Koeʻuhi ke nau fana ʻi he lilo ki he haohaoa:

ʻoku nau fana fakafokifā pe kiate ia, ʻo taʻemanavahē.

5‌ʻOku nau fetokoniʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa kovi:

ʻoku nau fakakaukau ke tau ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻi he lilo;

ʻoku nau pehē, “Ko hai te ne mamata kiate kimautolu?”

6‌ʻOku nau kumi ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kovi ʻoku nau faʻa ʻeke ke lahi:

ʻoku taumamaʻo ʻae mahalo mo e loto ʻokinautolu kotoa pē.

7Ka ʻe fana ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngahau;

te nau lavea fakafokifā pe.

8Ko ia tenau ngaohi honau ʻelelo ke tō kiate kinautolu:

ʻe hola ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu.

9Pea ʻe manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē,

ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua;

he tenau fakakaukau poto ki heʻene ngāue.

10‌ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻEiki,

pea falala kiate ia;

pea vikiviki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
