ʻAe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku mou fakamaau totonu koā?

3 Talu ʻae māvae ʻae angakovi mo e manāva mo ʻenau hē:
ʻoku nau ʻalu hē leva talu ʻenau fanauʻi, ʻi he lea loi.
4 Ko honau kona ʻoku hangē ko e kona ʻoe ngata:

5 ‌ʻAia ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe kau fakafiemālie,

6 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke sili honau kau nifo ʻi honau ngutu:

11 Ko ia ʻe pehē ai ʻe he tangata, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae totongi ki he māʻoniʻoni:
