[1] TE U hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata: te u fakaʻilo ʻaki hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo moʻoni ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
[2] He naʻaku pehē, “ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu pē ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻo taʻengata: ko hoʻo moʻoni te ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he ngaahi langi.”
[3] Kuo u fai ʻae fuakava mo ʻeku fili, kuo u fuakava ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.
[4] “Te u fakatuʻumaʻu ho hako ʻo taʻengata, te u fokotuʻu ho puleʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.” Sila.
[5] Pea ʻe fakamālō ʻe he ngaahi langi ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo, ʻE Sihova: mo hoʻo moʻoni foki ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
[6] He ko hai ʻi he langi ʻe fakatatau ia kia Sihova? Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe mālohi ʻe faʻa fakatatau kia Sihova?
[7] ʻOku totonu ke manavahē lahi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai kiate ia.
[8] ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hai ʻoku tatau mo koe ko Sihova māfimafi? Pea ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku kāpui koe.
[9] ʻOku ke puleʻi ʻae ngaue mālohi ʻoe tahi: ʻoka hou hono ngaahi peau, ʻoku ke fakatofukī ia.
[10] Kuo ke fesiʻi ʻa Lehapi ke lailai, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tāmateʻi; kuo fakahēʻi ho ngaahi fili ʻaki ho nima mālohi.
[11] ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e fonua: ko māmani mo hono fonu ʻo ia kuo ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
[12] Kuo ke ngaohi ʻae potu tokelau mo e potu tonga: ko Tepoa mo Heamoni ʻe fiefia ʻi ho huafa.
[13] ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae nima māfimafi ʻoku mālohi ho nima, pea māʻolunga ho nima toʻomataʻu.
[14] Ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo ho ʻafioʻanga: ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
[15] ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻae ongoongo fakafiefia: tenau ʻaʻeva, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
[16] Te nau fiefia ʻi ho huafa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: pea ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻe hakeakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
[17] He ko koe ko e vikivikiʻanga ʻo honau mālohi: pea ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻe hiki ai ki ʻolunga honau nifo.
[18] He ko homau hūfanga ʻa Sihova; pea ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli ko homau tuʻi.
[19] Pea naʻa ke toki folofola ʻi he meʻa ha mai ki hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u hilifaki ʻae tokoni ki ha tokotaha ʻoku mālohi; kuo u fakahikihiki ʻae tokotaha kuo fili mei he kakai.
[20] Kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻa Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea kuo u tākai ʻaki ia ʻa ʻeku lolo māʻoniʻoni:
[21] ʻE tuʻumaʻu hoku nima mo ia: ko hoku nima foki ʻe fakamālohiʻi ia.
[22] ʻE ʻikai fai fakamālohi kiate ia ʻe he fili; pe fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he foha ʻoe angakovi.
[23] Pea te u taaʻi hifo hono ngaahi fili ʻi hono ʻao, pea tautea ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.
[24] Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻa ʻeku moʻoni mo ʻeku ʻaloʻofa: pea ʻi hoku huafa ʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ai ʻa hono nifo.
[25] Te u ʻai foki hono nima ki he tahi, mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ngaahi vaitafe.
[26] ʻE tangi ia kiate au, ‘Ko koe ko ʻeku Tamai, ko hoku ʻOtua, mo e maka ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.’
[27] Pea te u ngaohi foki ia ko hoku ʻuluaki foha, ʻe māʻolunga lahi ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.
[28] Te u tuku ʻeku ʻaloʻofa maʻana ʻo taʻengata, pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻeku fuakava mo ia.
[29] Te u ngaohi foki hono hako kenau tolonga ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe langi.
[30] “Kapau ʻe liʻaki ʻeku akonaki ʻe heʻene fānau, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fakamaau;
[31] Kapau tenau maumauʻi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ʻikai tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
[32] Pea te u toki ʻaʻahi ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaki ʻae meʻa kini, mo ʻenau hia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tā.
[33] Ka ʻe ʻikai te u hiki ʻaupito ʻeku manavaʻofa ʻiate ia, pe tuku taʻehoko ʻa ʻeku moʻoni.
[34] ʻE ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻeku fuakava, pe fakakehe ʻae meʻa kuo ʻalu atu ʻi hoku loungutu.
[35] “Kuo u fuakava tuʻo taha ʻi heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u loi kia Tevita.
[36] ʻE tolonga ʻene fānau ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi hoku ʻao.
[37] ʻE fakatuʻumaʻu ia ke taʻengata ʻo hangē ko e māhina, pea hangē ko e fakamoʻoni ʻi he langi.” Sila.
[38] Ka kuo liʻaki mo fākaliliʻa, mo ke houhau kiate ia naʻa ke pani.
[39] Kuo ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: kuo ke fakakoviʻi hono tatā ʻi hoʻo lī ia ki he kelekele.
[40] Kuo ke maumauʻi hifo hono ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē; kuo ke fakaʻauha hono ngaahi potu mālohi.
[41] Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoku nau kaihaʻa ʻiate ia: ko e manukiʻanga ia ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapi.
[42] Kuo ke hiki hake ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hono ngaahi fili; kuo ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
[43] Kuo ke liliu foki ʻae mata ʻo ʻene heletā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ngaohi ia ke tuʻu ʻi he tau.
[44] Kuo ke fakaʻosi hono nāunau, pea lī hono nofoʻa ki he kelekele.
[45] Kuo ke fakafuonounou ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene talavou: kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae mā. Sila.
[46] ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Te ke fakafufū koe ʻo taʻengata? ʻE vela ho houhau ʻo hangē ko e afi?
[47] Manatu ki hono fuonounou ʻo ʻeku moʻui: ko e hā kuo ke ngaohi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke taʻeʻaonga?
[48] Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he mate? ʻE fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻa hono laumālie mei he nima ʻoe faʻitoka? Sila.
[49] ʻE ʻEiki, ko e fē hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻi muʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki kia Tevita ʻi hoʻo moʻoni?
[50] Manatu, ʻE ʻEiki, ki he manukiʻi ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; mo ʻeku fua ʻi hoku fatafata ʻae manuki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē;
[51] ʻAia kuo manuki ʻaki ʻe ho ngaahi fili, ʻE Sihova; ʻaia kuo nau manuki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻo ia kuo ke pani.
[52] Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
