[1] HAʻU, ketau hiva kia Sihova: ketau kalanga ʻi he fiefia ki he maka ʻo ʻetau moʻui.
[2] Ketau haʻu ki hono ʻao mo e fakafetaʻi, mo kalanga ʻi he fiefia kiate ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame.
[3] He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua lahi, pea ko e Tuʻi lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
[4] ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻae ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻo māmani: ko e mālohi ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻoku ʻoʻona foki.
[5] ʻOku ʻoʻona ʻae tahi, he naʻa ne ngaohi ia: pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae fonua mōmoa.
[6] Haʻu, ketau lotu mo punou: ketau tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau tupuʻanga.
[7] He ko hotau ʻOtua ia; pea ko e kakai ʻakitautolu ʻo ʻene ngoue, mo e fanga sipi ʻa hono nima. Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo,
[8] “ʻOua naʻa mou fakafefeka homou loto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he fakahouhau lahi, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻi he toafa:
[9] ʻAia naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea nau ʻahiʻahi kiate au, ʻonau mamata ki heʻeku ngāue.
[10] Naʻaku fehiʻa ki he toʻutangata ko ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻaku pehē, ‘Ko e kakai eni ʻoku hē ʻi honau loto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo hoku ngaahi hala:
[11] Pea ne u fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻi hoku houhau, ‘ʻE ʻikai tenau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.’|”
