1–31 Pea hokohoko atu ki he ngaahi vahe hoko...
1 ‌ʻOku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe:
he ʻoku ne fefakatafoki ʻaki ia ko ʻene faʻiteliha ʻaʻana.
2 ‌ʻOku matamata totonu ʻae hala kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ki hono mata ʻoʻona:
ka ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae loto.
3 Ko e fai totonu mo e fakamaau,
ʻoku lelei hake ia kia Sihova ʻi he feilaulau.
4 Ko e mata ʻoku fieʻeiki, mo e loto fielahi,
pea mo e keli ʻae kakai angakovi, ko e angahala ia.
5 ‌ʻOku tupu ʻae mahu ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae faʻa ngāue;
ka ko e masiva pe kiate ia ʻoku fai fakavavevave noa pe.
6 Ko e maʻu ʻae koloa lahi ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo loi,
ko e vaʻinga ia ʻoku vilingia fano ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki he mate.
7 Ko e kaihaʻa ʻae kakai angakovi ʻe ʻauha ai ʻakinautolu;
koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau loto ki he fai totonu.
8 ‌ʻOku pikopiko mo ʻalu kehe ʻae hala ʻoe tangata:
ka ʻoku totonu ʻae ngāue ʻaʻana ʻoku loto maʻa.
9 ‌ʻOku lelei hake ʻae nofo ki he tuliki ʻi ha tuʻafale,
ʻi he nofo ʻi loto fale mo ha fefine ʻoku faʻa kē.
10 ‌ʻOku holi ki he kovi ʻae laumālie ʻoe angahala:
pea ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ha lelei ʻe hono kaungāʻapi ʻi hono ʻao.
11 ‌ʻOka tautea ʻaia ʻoku faʻa manuki, ʻe poto ai ʻae vale:
pea ka akonekina ʻae poto, ʻoku ne maʻu ai ʻae ʻilo.
12 ‌ʻOku fakakaukau poto ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni ki he fale ʻoe angahala:
pea ʻoku lī ki lalo ʻae angahala ʻe he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala.
13 Ko ia ʻe tāpuni hono telinga ki he tangi ʻae masiva ʻe tangi foki ia,
ka ʻe ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe ha taha.
14 ‌ʻOku lolomi ʻae ʻita ʻoka ʻatu fufū ha meʻa foaki:
pea ʻoku taʻofi ʻe he totongi fufū ʻae houhau lahi.
15 Ko e fakamaau ko e fiefiaʻanga ia ʻoe māʻoniʻoni:
ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha ki he fai kovi.
16 ‌ʻE nofomaʻu ʻi he fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kakai mate,
ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku hē mei he hala ʻoe poto.
17 Ko ia ʻoku manako ki he vaʻinga ʻe hoko ia ko e tangata masiva:
ʻe ʻikai koloaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku manako ki he kava mo e lolo.
18 ‌ʻE fetongi ʻe he angahala ʻae māʻoniʻoni,
pea mo ia ʻoku fai kovi ʻae angatonu.
19 ‌ʻOku lelei hake ʻae nofo ʻi he toafa,
ʻi he nonofo mo ha fefine faʻa kē mo faʻa ʻita.
20 ‌ʻOku ai ʻae koloa ke manako ki ai, pea mo e lolo ʻi he fale ʻoe poto;
ka ʻoku fakaʻosi noa pe ia ʻe he tangata vale.
21 Ko ia ʻoku tulituli pau ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻaloʻofa te ne maʻu ʻae moʻui,
mo e māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e ongolelei.
22 ‌ʻOku kaka ʻe he tangata poto ʻae ʻā ʻoe kolo ʻae mālohi,
ʻo ne maumauʻi hono mālohi mo ene viki.
23 Ko ia ʻoku tauhi hono ngutu mo hono ʻelelo,
ʻoku fakahaofi ʻe ia hono laumālie mei he ngaahi mamahi.
24 Ko fielahi mo manuki fieʻeiki,
ko e hingoa ia ʻoʻona ʻoku faʻa ʻita ʻi he laukau.
25 Ko e holi ʻae fakapikopiko ʻe mate ai ia;
he ʻoku fakafisi hono nima ki he ngāue.
26 ‌ʻOku manumanu ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo poʻuli:
ka ʻoku faʻa foaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻikai te ne faʻa taʻofia ia.
27 Ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae feilaulau ʻae angahala:
kae huanoa ʻi hono ʻomi ia mo e loto kovi!
28 ‌ʻE ʻauha ʻae fakamoʻoni loi:
ka ko e tangata ʻoku faʻa fakafanongo ʻoku lea maau ia.
29 ‌ʻOku fakafefeka ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻa hono mata:
ka ʻoku fakakaukau ʻe he angatonu ki hono hala.
30 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha poto pe ha fakakaukau,
pe ha tuʻutuʻuni ʻe faʻa tuʻu kia Sihova.
31 ‌ʻOku teuteu ʻae hoosi ki he ʻaho ʻoe tau:
ka ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae faʻa ikuna.
