ka ʻoku ʻosi ʻi he kemo pe taha ʻae ʻelelo ʻoku loi.
20 ‌ʻOku ai ʻae kākā ʻi he loto ʻonautolu ʻoku filioʻi kovi:
ka ʻoku ai ʻae fiefia kiate kinautolu ʻoku alea ki he melino.
21 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha kovi ʻe hoko ki he angatonu:
ka ʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae kovi ʻae angahala.
22 Ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova ʻae loungutu faʻa loi:

24 ‌ʻE maʻu ʻae pule ʻe he nima ʻoe faʻa ngāue:
ka ʻe moʻulaloa ki he tukuhau ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko.
25 Ko e māfasia ʻi he loto ʻoe tangata ʻoku mapelu ai ia:
ka ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi ia ʻe he lea lelei.
26 ‌ʻOku lelei hake ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono kaungāʻapi:
ka ʻoku kākāʻia ʻae angahala ʻe honau hala.
27 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ke taʻo ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko ʻae meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi heʻene tuli:
ka ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻae koloa ʻoe tangata faʻa ngāue.
28 ‌ʻOku ai ʻae moʻui ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni,
pea ʻi hono ʻalunga ʻoku ʻikai ai ha mate.
