1–25 Pea hokohoko atu ki he ngaahi vahe hoko...
1 ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe he foha ʻoku poto ʻae akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai:
ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻae valoki ʻe he faʻa manuki.
2 ʻE kai ʻe he tangata ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu:
ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakamālohi ki he laumālie ʻoe kakai fai kovi.
3 Ko ia ʻoku vakai ki hono ngutu, ʻoku tauhi ʻe ia ʻene moʻui:
ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate ia ʻoku fakamanga lahi hono loungutu.
4 ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakapikopiko, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ha meʻa:
ka ʻe fafangaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoe faʻa ngāue.
5 ʻOku fehiʻa ki he loi ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni:
ka ko e tangata angahala ko e fakalielia ia, pea ʻoku hoko ia ʻo mā.
6 ʻOku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hono hala ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku angatonu;
ka ʻoku tulaki hifo ʻe he kovi ʻaia ʻoku angahala.
7 ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ia, ka ʻoku ne masiva pe:
pea ʻoku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamasivaʻi ia, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa lahi.
8 Ko e koloa ʻae tangata ko e huhuʻi ia ʻo ʻene moʻui:
ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ki he valoki ʻae masiva.
9 ʻOku fiefia ʻae maama ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala.
10 ʻOku tupu pe ʻi he fielahi ʻae fekeʻikeʻi:
ka ʻoku maʻu ʻae poto ʻekinautolu kuo akonakiʻi lelei.
11 Ko e koloa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vikiviki ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke ʻosi:
ka ʻe fakalahi ia kiate ia ʻoku tānaki ʻi he faʻa ngāue.
12 ʻOku pongia ʻae loto ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻoku tuai ʻene hoko:
pea ka hoko mai ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
13 ʻE fakaʻauha ia ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he folofola:
ka ʻe fiemālie pe ia ʻaia ʻoku manavahē ki he fekau.
14 Ko e fono ʻae poto ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui,
ke tau hao ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
15 ʻOku tupu mei he fakakaukau lelei ʻae ʻofa:
ka ʻoku faingataʻa ʻae hala ʻoe kakai angahala.
16 ʻOku faʻa kau ki he ʻilo ʻae tangata fakapotopoto:
ka ʻoku fakahā pe ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
17 ʻOku tō ki he kovi ʻae talafekau angakovi:
ka ko e fakamoʻui ʻae talafekau ʻoku angatonu.
18 ʻE hoko ʻae masiva mo e mā kiate ia ʻoku ne tekeʻi ʻae akonaki:
ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
19 ʻOku huʻamelie ki he laumālie ʻae hoko mai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tau holi ki ai:
ka ko e meʻa fakalielia ki he vale ʻae tafoki mei he kovi.
20 Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻeva fakataha mo e kakai poto ʻe poto ai ia:
ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai vale.
21 ʻOku tulia ʻae kau angahala ʻe he kovi:
ka ʻe toe totongi ʻaki ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.
22 ʻOku tuku ʻae tofiʻa ʻe he tangata angalelei ki he fānau ʻa ʻene fānau:
ka ko e koloa ʻae angahala kuo tānaki maʻa e kakai angatonu.
23 ʻOku ai ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻi he faʻa keli ʻae masiva:
ka ʻoku ai ʻoku maumauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva poto.
24 Ko ia ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻene meʻa kinikinisi ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono foha:
ka ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻoku ne tautea ia ʻoka ʻaonga ke fai.
25 ʻOku kai ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ke fakamākona hono laumālie:
ka ʻe fiekaia ʻae kete ʻoe angahala.
