1 ʻOku hanu ʻa Tevita ʻi heʻene mamahi. 13 ʻOku lotu ia ke moʻui ai. 22 ʻOku tuku ʻe ia hono ngaahi fili kenau malaʻia. 30 ʻOku ne fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fakafetaʻi.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Sosanimi, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.
1ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au;
he kuo hū ki loto ʻae ngaahi vai ki hoku laumālie.
2ʻOku ou ngalo hifo ʻi he pela loloto, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke tuʻu ai:
kuo u hoko ki he vai loloto, pea ʻoku lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi.
3Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku tangi:
kuo mōmoa hoku kia:
ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi hoku mata ʻi heʻeku tatali ki hoku ʻOtua.
4Ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻoku nau tokolahi hake ʻi he tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu:
ko kinautolu ʻoku loto ke fakaʻauha au,
ʻaia ko hoku ngaahi fili taʻetotonu, ʻoku nau mālohi;
pea ne u toki ʻange ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻave.
5ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku vale;
pea ʻoku ʻikai lilo ʻiate koe ʻeku ngaahi angahala.
6ʻE ʻEiki Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatali kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au:
ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au.
7He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u kātaki ai ʻae lauʻikovi;
kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hoku mata ʻae mā.
8Kuo u hoko ko e muli ki hoku ngaahi kāinga,
mo e ʻāuhe ki he fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē.
9He kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi he fai feinga ki ho fale;
pea ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe kuo tō kiate au.
10ʻI heʻeku tangi, ʻo tautea hoku laumālie ʻaki ʻae ʻaukai,
naʻe manukiʻi ai au.
11Naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa;
pea ne u hoko ko honau lumaʻanga.
12ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā;
pea ʻoku hiva ʻaki au ʻe he kau konā ʻi he kava.
13Ka ko au, ʻE Sihova, ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu ʻi he ʻaho tuʻumālie:
ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo kiate au ʻi hono lahi fau ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻi hono moʻoni ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui.
14Fakamoʻui au mei he pela, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u ngalo hifo:
tuku ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi vai loloto.
15ʻOua naʻa tuku ke lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi,
pea ʻoua naʻa folo hifo au ʻe he loloto,
pea ʻoua naʻa tāpuni ʻe he luo hono ngutu kiate au.
16Fanongo kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku lelei hoʻo manavaʻofa:
ke ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
17Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki;
he ʻoku ou mamahi:
fanongo vave kiate au:
18Ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki hoku laumālie, pea huhuʻi ia:
fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
19Kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku lauʻikovi, mo ʻeku mā, mo hoku manukia:
ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
20Kuo fesiʻi hoku loto ʻe he lauʻikovi pea kuo u fonu ʻi he mamahi:
pea naʻaku kumi ki ha niʻihi ke ʻofa mai, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha;
mo e kau fakafiemālie, tā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha taha.
21Naʻa nau foaki foki kiate au ʻae ʻahu ko ʻeku meʻakai;
pea ʻi heʻeku fieinu naʻa nau tuku mai ʻae vaimahi ke u inu.
22Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele ʻi honau ʻao:
mo ia naʻe totonu kenau lelei ai, ke hoko ia ko e tauhele.
23Ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata;
pea ke tetetete maʻuaipē honau kongaloto.
24Te ke lilingi ho houhau kiate kinautolu,
pea puke ʻakinautolu ʻe ho houhau vela.
25Tuku ke lala honau nofoʻanga;
ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ha tokotaha ʻi honau fale fehikitaki.
26He ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi ia ʻaia kuo ke taaʻi;
pea ʻoku nau talanoa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo ke tautea.
27Fakalahi ʻaki ʻae nunuʻa ʻoe hia ki heʻenau hia:
pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
28Tuku ke tāmateʻi mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui,
pea ʻoua naʻa tohi fakataha ʻakinautolu mo e kau māʻoniʻoni.
29Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi:
ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ke hiki ki ʻolunga au ʻe hoʻo fakamoʻui.
30Teu fakamālō ki he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae hiva,
pea te u hiki hake ia ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
31Pea ʻe fiemālie lahi hake ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni,
ʻi he pulu tangata pe ko e pulu ʻoku ai hono nifo mo e ngeʻesi vaʻe.
32ʻE mamata ki he meʻa ni ʻae angavaivai, pea fiefia ai:
pea ʻe moʻui homou loto ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
33He ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae masiva,
pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ʻene kau pōpula.
34Tuku ke fakamālō kiate ia ʻae langi mo māmani,
ʻae ngaahi tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi ai.
35Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Saione,
pea langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta:
koeʻuhi ke nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻo maʻu ia ko honau tofiʻa.
36ʻE maʻu foki ia ʻe he hako ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki:
pea ʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hono huafa.
