Saame.
39.
Ki he Takimuʻa ko Situtuni, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Naʻa ku pehē, “Te u vakai ki hoku ngaahi hala, telia naʻaku angahala ʻi hoku ʻelelo: te u ʻai ʻae noʻo ki hoku ngutu, ʻi he kei ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae angakovi.” 
Naʻaku noa, ʻi he fakalongo pē, naʻaku taʻofi au mei he lea, ʻio, mei he lelei; pea naʻe tupu ai ʻeku mamahi. 
Naʻe vela hoku loto ʻiate au, pea lolotonga ʻeku fifili naʻe vela ʻae afi: pea u toki lea ʻaki hoku ʻelelo, 
“ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻilo kiate au hoku ngataʻanga, mo hono fuofua ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho, pe ko e hā ia; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ki hono lahi ʻo ʻeku vaivai.” 
Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ke tatau mo e ʻaofinima pe taha; pea ko ʻeku moʻui ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi ho ʻao: ko e moʻoni ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ko e mātuʻaki vaʻinga ia. Sila. 
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻata loi: ko e moʻoni kuo nau mamahi taʻeʻaonga: ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae koloa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai te ne maʻu ia. 
Pea ko eni, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ou tatali ai? ʻOku ʻiate koe pē ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei. 
Fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa ke ngaohi au ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe vale.” 
Naʻaku noa, naʻe ʻikai te u mafaʻa hoku ngutu; koeʻuhi ko koe naʻa ke fai ia. 
Toʻo atu hoʻo tā ʻiate au: kuo u ʻauha ʻi he tā ʻaho nima. 
‌ʻOka ke ka tautea ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae tākitala ʻi heʻene hia, ʻoku ke pule ke mole atu hono lelei ʻo hangē ko e ane: ko e moʻoni ko e vaʻinga ʻae tangata kotoa pē. Sila. 
Fanongo mai ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE Sihova, mo ke fakafanongo ki heʻeku tangi; ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē ʻi hoku ngaahi loʻimata: he ko e muli au ʻi ho ʻao, mo e ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi tamai kotoa pē. 
Tuku siʻi ai pe au, koeʻuhi ke u toe maʻu ʻeku mālohi, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u ʻalu ʻi heni, pea te u ʻikai leva.
