18 Naʻe tali ʻe Pilitati+ mei Suaʻá ʻo pehē:
2 “ʻE ngata ʻafē ʻa hoʻomou fai ʻa e ngaahi lea peheé?
Fakahaaʻi muʻa ha mahino koeʻuhí ka mau toki lea.
3 Ko e hā ʻoku mou vakai mai ai ko e monumanu kimautolú+Pea lau ko e vale* kimautolu ʻi hoʻomou vakaí?
4 Naʻa mo haʻo hae kongokonga koe ʻi hoʻo ʻitá,ʻE tuku liʻaki koā ʻa e māmaní koeʻuhi ko koe,Pe ʻe hiki ʻa e fuʻu maká mei hono tuʻuʻangá?
5 ʻIo, ko e maama ʻa e kau fulikivanú ʻe tāmateʻi,Pea ko e ulo ʻo ʻene afí ʻe ʻikai maama.+
6 Ko e maama ʻi hono tēnití ʻe hoko moʻoni ʻo fakapoʻuli,Pea ko e maama ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate iá ʻe tāmateʻi.
7 Ko ʻene ngaahi laka longomoʻuí ʻe nounou pē ia,Pea ko ʻene akonakí tonu te ne ʻai ia ke ne tō ki lalo.+
8 He ko hono vaʻé te ne taki ia ki ha kupenga,Pea te ne takamilo atu ki hono matakupengá.
9 ʻE maʻu ʻe ha tauhele hono muivaʻé;ʻE puke ia ʻe ha tauhele.+
10 ʻOku fufū ha maea kiate ia ʻi he kelekelé,ʻOku fakatoka ha tauhele ʻi hono halá.
11 ʻOku fakailifiaʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi meʻa fakamanavaheé ʻi he ngaahi tapa kotoa pē+Pea tuli atu ʻo molomolo-muivaʻe kiate ia.
12 Ko hono mālohí ʻoku mole meiate ia,Pea ko e fakatamakí+ te ne ʻai ia ke ne tāsipa.*
13 Ko hono kilí ʻoku ʻauʻauha atu ia;Ko e mahaki fakatupu mate tahá* te ne keina ʻa hono ngaahi kupú.
14 ʻOku taʻaki ia mei he malu ʻo hono tēnití+Pea laka atu ki he tuʻi ʻo e meʻa fakamanavaheé.*
15 Ko e solá* ʻe nofo ʻi hono tēnití;Ko e sūlifá ʻe laku holo ʻi hono ʻapí.+
16 Ko hono ngaahi aká ʻe mōmoa ia ʻi lalo ʻiate ia,Pea ko hono ngaahi vaʻá ʻe mae ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia.
17 Ko e manatu kiate iá ʻe mole atu ia mei he māmaní,Pea ʻi he halá ʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ai ʻa hono hingoá.*
18 ʻE kapusi ia mei he māmá ki he poʻulíPea ʻe tuli ia mei he fonua mahú.
19 ʻE ʻikai haʻane fānau mo hano hako ʻi he lotolotonga hono kakaí,Pea ʻe ʻikai haʻane tokotaha ʻe hao ʻi he feituʻu ʻokú ne nofo aí.*
20 ʻI he hoko mai hono ʻahó, ko e kakai ʻi he Hihifó te nau fakalilifuʻiaPea ko e kakai ʻi he Hahaké ʻe maʻu kinautolu ʻe he manavaheé.
21 Ko e meʻa eni ʻe hoko ki he ngaahi tēniti ʻo ha tokotaha faihalaPea ki he feituʻu ʻo e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻa e ʻOtuá.”
