Lea Fakatātā.

Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAkuli ko e foha ʻo Sake, ʻaia ko e kikite: naʻe lea ʻae tangata kia ʻItieli, ʻio, kia ʻItieli mo ʻUkali. 
“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi hake ʻa ʻeku vale ʻi he tangata kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae poto ʻo ha tangata. 
Kuo ʻikai akonekina au ki he poto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻoe māʻoniʻoni. 
Ko hai kuo ʻalu hake ki he langi, pe ʻalu hifo? Ko hai ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae matangi ʻi hono nima? Ko hai kuo ne fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi ha kofu? Ko hai kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani? Ko hai hono huafa, pea ko hai ʻae huafa ʻo hono ʻAlo, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke faʻa fakahā? 
“ʻOku maʻa ʻae folofola kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua: pea ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia. 
‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakalahi ki heʻene folofola telia naʻa ne valokiʻi koe, pea ʻe ʻilo ai koe ko e loi.” 
Ko e meʻa ʻe ua kuo u kole kiate koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi ia ʻiate au ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku mate. 
Hiki ke mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae vaʻinga mo e loi: pea ʻoua naʻaku masiva pe koloaʻia: fafanga ʻaki au ʻae meʻakai ʻoku taau pe mo au: 
Telia naʻaku mākona, pea u fakafisiʻi koe, pea u pehē, Ko hai ʻa Sihova? Telia foki naʻaku masiva, pea u kaihaʻa, mo takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo hoku ʻOtua. 
‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakakoviʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki, telia naʻa ne kapeʻi koe, pea ʻilo ko koe ʻoku halaia. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae fānau ʻoku kape ki heʻenau tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tāpuakiʻi ʻenau faʻē. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni ʻi honau mata ʻonautolu, ka ʻoku teʻeki ke fufulu ʻenau anga fakalielia. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻOi seuke! Hono ʻikai māʻolunga ʻa honau mata! Pea kuo nau hiki hake honau laumata. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha, ʻoku tatau honau nifo mo e heletā, mo honau ngao ʻoku hangē ko e hele, ke kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae masiva mei he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻosi mo e paea mei he kakai. 
“ʻOku maʻu ʻe he aluka ʻae ʻofefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku tangi, ‘Foaki mai, foaki mai.’ “ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ke fiemālie, ʻio, ʻoku fā ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi:’ 
Ko e faʻitoka; mo e manāva ʻoku paʻa; ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻikai pito ʻi he vai; pea mo e afi ʻoku ʻikai ke pehē, ‘Maʻuā, kuo lahi.’ 
“Ko e mata ʻoku manuki ki heʻene tamai, pea ʻikai tokanga ke fai talangofua ki heʻene faʻē, ʻe kapeʻi ia ʻe he fanga leveni ʻoe teleʻa, pea ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga ʻikale iiki. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au, ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi. 
Ko e punaʻanga ʻoe ʻikale ʻi he ʻatā; mo e hala ʻoe ngata ʻi he funga maka; mo e ʻaluʻanga ʻoe vaka ʻi he loto vaha; mo e anga ʻae tangata ki he tāupoʻou. 
‌ʻOku pehē ʻae anga ʻae fefine tonotangata; ʻoku ne kai, ʻo ne holoholo hono ngutu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai te u fai ha kovi.” 
Ko e meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku maveuveu ai ʻa māmani, ko e meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku ʻikai ke ne faʻa kātakiʻi: 
Ko e tamaioʻeiki kuo fakanofo ke pule; mo e tangata vale kuo mākona ʻi he meʻakai; 
Mo e fefine anga fakalielia kuo mali; mo e kaunanga ʻoku hoko ki he koloa ʻa ʻene ʻeiki fefine. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe fā ʻoku iiki ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ka ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau poto: 
Ko e lō, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ke mālohi, ka ʻoku nau tokonaki ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana. 
Ko e fanga safana, ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku vaivai pe, ka ʻoku nau ngaohi honau fale ʻi he ngaahi maka; 
‌ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ha tuʻi ʻe he fanga heʻe, ka ʻoku nau puna fakataha atu; 
‌ʻOku puke ʻaki ʻe he hina ʻa hono nima, ʻo ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi. 
‌ʻOku ai ʻae meʻa ʻe tolu ʻoku lelei ʻenau ʻalu, ʻio, ʻoku fā, ʻae meʻa ʻoku matalelei ʻenau ʻalu: 
Ko e laione ʻaia ʻoku mālohi ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki atu ʻi ha taha; 
Ko e hoosi; mo e kosi tangata foki; pea mo e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ki ai ha angatuʻu. 
“Kapau kuo ke fai vale ʻi hoʻo hiki hake koe ʻe koe, pea kapau kuo ke mahalo kovi, ke ke ʻai ho nima ki ho ngutu. 
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tupu ʻae pota ʻi he tuki ʻae huʻahuhu ʻoe manu, pea tupu ʻae toto ʻi he mioʻi ʻoe ihu: ʻoku pehē, ʻoku tupu ʻae fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he ʻita fakamālohi.”
