1 ʻOku lāunga ʻa Tevita ʻi he ngaahi fakavaivai. 9 ʻOku ne lotu ʻi he mamahi lahi. 23 ʻOku ne fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he ʻAilete-Sahala, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.
1 ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamaʻo ai mei he tokoni kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi lea ʻo ʻeku tangi?
2 ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou tangi ʻi he ʻaho, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ongoʻi;
pea ʻi he pō, ʻoku ʻikai te u longo pē.
3 Ka ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni,
ʻa koe ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
4 Naʻe falala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe:
naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
5 Naʻa nau tangi kiate koe, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu:
naʻa nau falala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mā.
6 Ka ko e kelemutu au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata:
ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe tangata, ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai.
7 Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate au ʻoku nau kata manuki kiate au:
ʻoku nau fakalili honau ngutu, mo kalokalo ʻae ʻulu, mo nau pehē,
8 “Naʻa ne falala kia Sihova ke ne fakamoʻui ia:
tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, he naʻa ne fiemālie ʻiate ia.”
9 Ka ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē:
naʻa ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he huhu ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
10 Naʻe lī au kiate koe mei he manāva:
ko hoku ʻOtua Koe talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
11 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: he ʻoku ofi ʻae mamahi;
he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
12 Kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata lahi:
kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata mālohi mei Pesani.
13 Naʻa nau fakamanga honau ngutu kiate au,
ʻo hangē ko e laione fekai mo ngungulu.
14 Kuo lilingi au ʻo hangē ko e vai,
pea kuo homo hoku ngaahi hui kotoa pē:
kuo tatau hoku loto mo e pulu:
kuo fakamolū ia ʻi hoku loto fatu.
15 Kuo mōmoa ʻo ʻosi hoku mālohi ʻo hangē ko e ipu kuo maumau;
pea ʻoku piki maʻu hoku ʻelelo ki hoku ʻaoʻi ngutu;
pea kuo ke ʻohifo au ki he efu ʻoe mate.
16 He kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga kulī:
kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fakataha ʻoe ngaahi angakovi:
naʻa nau hokaʻi hoku nima mo hoku vaʻe.
17 ‌ʻOku ou faʻa lau hoku hui kotoa pē:
ʻoku nau mamata mo siosio pau kiate au.
18 ‌ʻOku nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻiate kinautolu,
mo fai ʻae talotalo ki hoku pulupulu.
19 Kaeʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au, ʻE Sihova:
ʻE hoku mālohi, ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke tokoni au.
20 Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he heletā;
mo ʻeku moʻui mei he mālohi ʻoe kulī.
21 Fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione:
he kuo ke ongoʻi au mei he ngaahi nifo ʻoe fanga liimi.
22 Te u fakahā ho huafa ki hoku ngaahi kāinga:
ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fakataha te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe.
23 “ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, fakafetaʻi kiate ia;
fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻakimoutolu ko e hako ʻo Sēkope; pea manavahē kiate ia,
ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ko e hako ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 He naʻe ʻikai te ne manuki pe fehiʻa ki he mamahi ʻoe mamahiʻia;
pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fufū hono fofonga ʻiate ia;
ka ʻi heʻene tangi kiate ia naʻa ne ongoʻi.”
25 ‌ʻE ʻiate koe pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi ʻi he fakataha lahi:
te u fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.
26 ‌ʻE kai ʻe he angamalū ke mākona;
ʻe fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia:
ʻe moʻui taʻengata homou laumālie.
27 ‌ʻE manatu mo tafoki kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani:
pea ʻe lotu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
28 He ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻae puleʻanga;
pea ko e pule ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
29 Ko kinautolu ʻoku sino ʻi māmani te nau kai mo lotu:
ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he efu:
pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamoʻui hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
30 ‌ʻE tauhi ia ʻe ha hako;
pea ʻe lau ia ko e toʻutangata kia Sihova,
31 Te nau haʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki ha kakai ʻe fanauʻi,
“Kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni.”
