1 ʻOku fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻo ʻene folofola. 4 ʻOku ne kikite ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻa māmani. 7 ʻOku fakahā ʻene tui ki he ʻOtua.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.
1 Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻaki hoku loto kotoa pē:
ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe.
2 Te u lotu ʻo hanga atu ki ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni,
mo fakamālō ki ho huafa koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni:
he kuo ke hiki ke māʻolunga hake hoʻo folofola ʻi ho huafa kotoa pē.
3 ʻI he ʻaho ne u tangi ai naʻa ke talia au,
mo fakamālohi ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ʻi hoku laumālie.
4 ʻE Sihova, ʻe fakamālō kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani,
ʻoka nau ka fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo ho fofonga.
5 ʻIo, tenau hiva ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova:
he ʻoku lahi ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
6 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku māʻolunga ʻa Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻofa ia ki he angavaivai:
ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae laukau ki he mamaʻo.
7 Neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe mamahi, te ke fakaakeake au:
te ke mafao atu ho nima ke taʻofi ki he ʻita ʻa hoku ngaahi fili,
pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne fakamoʻui au.
8 ʻE fakahaohaoa ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku kau kiate au:
ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata:
ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻoʻou.
