[1] ʻE HOKU foha, kapau kuo ke hoko ko e fetongi ki ho kāinga, kapau kuo ke fekuku nima mo ha muli,
[2] Tā kuo tauheleʻi koe ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea mei ho ngutu, kuo ke fihia koe ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa ho ngutu.
[3] ʻE hoku foha, ke ke fai eni, koeʻuhi ke ke hao ʻoka ke ka tō ki he nima ʻo ho kāinga: ʻalu koe, ʻo fakavaivai koe, koeʻuhi ke ke lavaʻi ai ho kāinga.
[4] ʻOua naʻa tuku ke mohe ho mata, pe tuku ke tulemohe ho laumata.
[5] Fakamoʻui koe ʻo hangē ko e kāseli mei he nima ʻoe tangata tuli manu, pea hangē ko e manupuna mei he nima ʻoe tangata tauhele.
[6] ʻA koe ko e fakapikopiko, ʻalu ki he lō; tokanga ki heʻene anga, pea ke poto ai;
[7] ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai hano fakahinohino, pe enginaki, pe ha pule,
[8] Ka ʻoku ne tokonaki ʻene meʻakai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, ʻo ne tānaki ʻene meʻakai ʻi he ututaʻu.
[9] ʻA koe ko e fakapikopiko, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻo mohe? Te ke toki tuʻu hake ʻafē mei hoʻo mohe?
[10] “ʻE toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:”
[11] Pea pehē, ʻe haʻu ai hoʻo masiva ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku fononga mai, pea mo hoʻo paea ʻo hangē ha tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafu.
[12] ʻOku ʻalu mo e ngutu kovi, ʻae tangata ʻoku angakovi, mo e tangata angahala.
[13] ʻOku kakamo ʻe ia ʻaki hono mata, ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ia hono vaʻe, ʻoku ako ʻaki ʻe ia hono louhiʻi nima;
[14] ʻOku ʻi hono loto ʻae kovi, ʻoku ne fakatupu maʻuaipē ʻae kovi; ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻe ia ʻae maveuveu.
[15] Ko ia ʻe hoko fakafokifā ai ʻa ʻene malaʻia; ʻe maumau fakafokifā ia taʻehanofakamoʻui.
[16] ʻOku fehiʻa ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa ni ʻe ono: ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻe fitu ʻoku fakalielia ʻi hono ʻao:
[17] Ko e mata fielahi, ko e ʻelelo ʻoku loi, mo e nima ʻoku lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia,
[18] Ko e loto ʻoku fakatupu ʻae ngaahi mahalo kovi, mo e vaʻe ʻoku veʻe vave ki he fai kovi,
[19] Ko e fakamoʻoni loi ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi, mo ia ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻi he kāinga.
[20] ʻE hoku foha, ke ke tauhi ʻae fekau ʻa hoʻo tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa hoʻo faʻē:
[21] Nonoʻo maʻuaipē ia ki ho loto, pea kahoa ʻaki ia ʻi ho kia.
[22] ʻOka ke ka ʻalu, te ne tataki koe; ʻoka ke ka mohe, te ne tauhi koe; pea ʻoka ke ka ʻā, te mo alea mo ia.
[23] He ko e fekau ko e tuʻunga maama ia: pea ko e fono ko e maama ia; pea ko e valoki fakapoto ko e hala ia ʻoe moʻui:
[24] Ke fakahaofi koe mei he fefine angahala, mei he lea fakaoloolo ʻae fefine muli.
[25] ʻOua naʻa ke holi ʻi ho loto ki hono fakaʻofoʻofa; pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ne kākaaʻi koe ʻaki hono laumata.
[26] He ko e meʻa ʻi he fefine feʻauaki ʻoku fakamasivaʻi ʻae tangata ke toe siʻi ʻene konga mā: pea ʻe tuli ʻe he tonotangata ʻae moʻui mahuʻinga.
[27] ʻE faʻa ʻai ʻe ha tangata ʻae afi ki hono fatafata, pea ʻikai vela hono ngaahi kofu?
[28] ʻE ʻeveʻeva ha taha ʻi he funga maka vela, ka ʻe ʻikai vela hono vaʻe?
[29] ʻOku pehē ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu atu ki he ʻunoho ʻo hono kaungāʻapi; ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ia ʻoku ala ki ai.
[30] ʻOku ʻikai fehiʻa ʻae kakai ki ha kaihaʻa, ʻo kapau kuo ne kaihaʻa ke fakafiemālie hono loto ʻi heʻene feinga fiekaia;
[31] Kā, ʻoka ʻilo ia, ʻe totongi ʻe ia ke liunga fitu; ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻo hono fale.
[32] Ka ko ia ʻoku tonofefine, ʻoku masiva poto: ko ia ʻoku ne fai ia ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻe ia hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
[33] ʻE lavea ai ia mo ongoongo kovi: pea ʻe ʻikai holoholoʻi ʻa hono manukia.
[34] He ko e fuaʻa ko e fakalili ia ʻoe tangata: ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ne toe mamae ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe totongi.
[35] ʻE ʻikai tokangaʻi ʻe ia ha tukungoue; pea ʻe ʻikai fiemālie ia ʻi hoʻo foaki lahi.
