1 ʻOku fakahā ʻe he tangata tohi Saame ʻena fekuki mālohi mo e fakataʻetaʻetui. 10 Naʻa ne ikuna ʻi heʻene tokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi mo lelei ʻae ʻOtua.

Ki he Takimuʻa ko Situtuni, ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi.

1Naʻa ku tangi ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo;

ʻio, ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo pea ne tokanga kiate au.

2‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi naʻaku kumi ki he ʻEiki:

naʻe aʻu pe ʻeku mamahi ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻikai tuku:

naʻe liʻaki ʻe hoku laumālie ʻae fakafiemālie.

3Naʻaku manatu ki he ʻOtua, pea u mamahi ai:

naʻaku fakalaulauloto, pea naʻe lōmekina hoku laumālie. Sila.

4‌ʻOku ke pule ke ʻā hoku mata:

ʻoku lahi ʻeku mamahi,

ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa lea.

5Naʻaku fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa,

ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa.

6‌ʻOku ou fakamanatu, ki heʻeku hiva ʻi he poʻuli:

ʻoku ou fakakaukau mo hoku loto:

pea naʻe ʻeke lahi ʻa hoku laumālie.

7“ʻE liʻaki maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova?

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe finangalo ʻofa mai?

8Kuo mole ʻaupito ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa?

Pe kuo taʻehoko ʻene talaʻofa ki he toʻutangata mo e toʻutangata?

9Kuo ngalo ʻi he ʻOtua ke fai ʻofa?

Kuo ne tāpuni ʻi he houhau ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua?” Sila.

10Pea ne u pehē, “Ko ʻeku vaivai eni ka te u manatu

ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga.”

11Te u manatu ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova:

ko e moʻoni te u manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi mana ʻi muʻa.

12Te u fakalaulauloto foki ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē,

ʻo talanoa ki hoʻo ngaahi faianga.

13‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he faletapu:

ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua!

14Ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo:

kuo ke fakahā ho mālohi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.

15Naʻa ke huhuʻi ʻaki ho nima ʻa ho kakai,

ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope mo Siosefa. Sila.

16Naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai, ʻE ʻOtua,

naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai; pea naʻa nau manavahē:

naʻe ngaueue foki ʻae ngaahi loloto.

17Naʻe lilingi ʻae vai ʻe he ngaahi ʻao:

naʻe fakaʻuʻulu mei he langi ʻae longoaʻa:

pea naʻe puna foki hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ki he mamaʻo.

18Naʻe ʻi he langi ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo mana:

naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila:

naʻe tetetete mo ngalulu ʻae fonua.

19Ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he tahi,

mo ho hāʻeleʻanga ʻoku ʻi he vai lahi,

pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilonga ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.

20Naʻa ke tataki atu ho kakai ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi

ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone.
