[1] ʻOUA naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko e kau fai kovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kau ngāue ʻi he angahala.
[2] Koeʻuhi ʻe vave ʻae tuʻusi hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e mohuku, pea mae ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata.
[3] Falala kia Sihova, pea ke fai lelei; ko ia te ke nofo ai ʻi he fonua, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe fafangaʻi koe.
[4] Fakafiemālieʻi foki koe ʻia Sihova; pea te ne foaki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi holi ʻo ho loto.
[5] Tuku ho hala kia Sihova; pea falala foki kiate ia; pea te ne fakahoko ia.
[6] Pea te ne fakahā atu hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama, mo hoʻo fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hoʻatā ʻoe ʻaho.
[7] Ke ke fakalongo pē kia Sihova, pea tatali faʻa kātaki pe kiate ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku monūʻia ʻi hono hala, koeʻuhi ko e tangata ʻoku fakahoko ʻae ngaahi filioʻi kovi.
[8] Tukuange ʻae ʻita, pea liʻaki ʻae lili: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi foki koe ʻi ha meʻa ke fai kovi.
[9] Koeʻuhi ʻe motuhi ʻae ngaahi fai kovi: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova, te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.
[10] He ʻoku toetoe siʻi pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻae angakovi: ʻio, te ke tokanga lahi ki hono potu, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ia.
[11] Ka ko e angamalū tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono lahi ʻoe melino.
[12] ʻOku fakakaukau kovi ʻe he angahala ki he angatonu, mo ngaiʻi kiate ia ʻaki hono nifo.
[13] ʻE kata ʻa Sihova kiate ia: he ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku haʻu hono ʻaho.
[14] Kuo unuhi ʻe he kau angakovi ʻae heletā, pea kuo nau teke ʻenau kaufana, ke lī ki lalo ʻae mamahi mo e paea, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku angatotonu.
[15] ʻE ʻasi ʻenau heletā ki honau loto ʻonautolu, pea ʻe mafesi ʻenau ngaahi kaufana.
[16] ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻoku ʻi he tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he koloa ʻoe tokolahi ʻoku angahala.
[17] Koeʻuhi ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻoe kau angahala: ka ʻoku poupou ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
[18] ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kakai angatonu: pea ko honau tofiʻa ʻe tolonga taʻengata.
[19] ʻE ʻikai te nau mā ʻi he kuonga kovi, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe honge tenau mākona.
[20] Ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae angakovi, pea ʻe tatau ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova mo e ngako ʻoe fanga lami: ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu; ʻi he kohu tenau mole ʻo ʻosi.
[21] ʻOku nō ʻae angakovi, pea ʻikai toe totongi: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻae ʻofa ʻe he māʻoniʻoni, ʻo foaki.
[22] He ko kinautolu kuo tāpuekina ʻiate ia tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; pea ko kinautolu kuo malaʻia ʻiate ia ʻe motuhi.
[23] ʻOku fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laka ʻae tangata lelei: pea ʻoku fiemālie ia ʻi hono hala.
[24] Neongo ʻene tō ki lalo, ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ia: he ʻoku poupou hake ia ʻe he nima ʻo Sihova.
[25] Naʻaku talavou, pea kuo u motuʻa; ka ʻoku teʻeki te u ʻilo ʻae māʻoniʻoni kuo liʻaki, pe ko hono hako ʻoku kole mā.
[26] ʻOku angaʻofa maʻuaipē ia, pea faʻa ʻatu; pea ʻoku monūʻia hono hako.
[27] Afe mei he kovi, pea ke fai lelei, pea nofomaʻu pē ʻo taʻengata.
[28] He ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne liʻaki hono kakai māʻoniʻoni; kuo fakamoʻui maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae hako ʻoe angakovi.
[29] ʻE maʻu ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻa e fonua, pea tenau nofo ai ʻo taʻengata.
[30] Ko e ngutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae poto, pea talanoa ʻaki hono ʻelelo ʻae fakamaau.
[31] ʻOku ʻi hono loto ʻae fono ʻa hono ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai hekea ia ʻi haʻane laka ʻe taha.
[32] ʻOku lamasi ʻe he angakovi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo kumi ke fakapoongi ia.
[33] ʻE ʻikai tukuange ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima, pe tukuakiʻi ia ʻi hono fakamaauʻi.
[34] Tatali kia Sihova, pea tauhi hono hala, pea te ne hakeakiʻi koe ke maʻu ʻae fonua: pea ka ʻosi hono motuhi ʻae kakai angakovi, te ke mamata ki ai.
[35] Naʻaku mamata ki he angakovi kuo mālohi lahi, pea mafola ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau maʻuiʻui ʻoku tupu ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona.
[36] Ka naʻe mole atu ia, pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ia: ʻio, ne u kumi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ia.
[37] Vakai ki he tangata haohaoa, mo tokanga ki he angatonu: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe tangata ko ia ko e melino.
[38] Ka ʻe fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae kau angahala: ko e ikuʻanga ʻoe angakovi ʻe motuhi ia.
[39] Ka ko hono fakamoʻui ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻia Sihova: ko honau mālohi ia ʻi he kuonga ʻoe mamahi.
[40] Pea ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: te ne fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai angakovi, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau falala kiate ia.
