1 ʻOku ʻita ʻa Elihu kia Siope mo hono kāinga ʻe toko tolu. 6 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai haʻu mo e motuʻa ʻae poto, ko ia ʻoku ne lea mālohi, ka ko e talavou pe. 11 ʻOku ne valokiʻi ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻelea totonu kia Siope. 16 ʻOku ne holi ke lea.
Naʻe tuku ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni ʻenau lea atu kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻe māʻoniʻoni ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona. Pea naʻe tupu ʻae ʻita ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻi he kāinga ʻo Lame: naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻe ia kae ʻikai ko e ʻOtua. Naʻe ʻita foki ia ki hono kāinga ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa talia ʻa Siope, ka kuo nau talatalaakiʻi ia. Ka naʻe tatali ʻa Elihu kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae lea ʻa Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa nau motuʻa ʻiate ia. Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Elihu kuo ʻikai ha tali ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita.
 
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻo ne pehē,
“ʻOku ou siʻi au, kae motuʻa ʻakimoutolu;
ko ia ne u manavahē ai, ʻo taʻefiefakahā ʻa hoku loto.
Ne u pehē, ‘ʻE lea ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe akonekina ke poto ʻe he ngaahi taʻu lahi.’
Ka ʻoku ai ʻae laumālie ʻi he tangata,
pea ʻoku foaki kiate ia ʻae ʻilo lahi ʻe he fakamānava ʻae Māfimafi.
‌ʻOku ʻikai poto ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē,
pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he mātuʻa ʻae fakamaau.
10 Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘Fanongo mai kiate au;
te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
 
11 “Vakai, ne u tatali ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea;
naʻaku fakafanongo ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakamatala,
ʻi he lolotonga homou hakule ki haʻamou lea.
12 ‌ʻIo, ne u tokangaʻi ʻakimoutolu,
pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu kuo ne lavaʻi ʻa Siope,
pe tali ʻene ngaahi lea:
13 Telia naʻa mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau ʻiloʻi ʻae poto: ʻoku lī hifo ia ʻe he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ko e tangata.’
14 Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne lea fakatotonu mai kiate au:
pea ʻe ʻikai te u tali ʻaki ia ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi lea.
 
15 “Naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai te nau toe lea: pea fakalongo pe.
16 Pea kuo u tatali, (he naʻe ʻikai te nau lea,
kae tutuʻu pe, ʻo ʻikai toe lea:)
17 Pea ne u pehē, ‘Te u tali foki ʻeau ʻi hoku lakanga,
te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
18 He ʻoku ou pito ʻi he ngaahi lea,
ʻoku fakangaueʻi au ʻe hoku laumālie.
19 Vakai, ʻoku tatau hoku loto mo e uaine taʻehanoava;
ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hina ʻoe uaine foʻou, ʻoku toe siʻi pea mahaehae.
20 Te u lea kau fiemālie:
te u faʻai hoku loungutu ʻo tali.
21 ‌ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku filifilimānako ki ha taha,
pea ʻoua naʻaku ʻai ʻae hingoa fakalapu ki ha tangata.
22 He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke ʻai ʻae hingoa lapu;
telia naʻa ʻave fakavave ai au ʻe hoku Tupuʻanga.
