1 ʻOku lotu ʻa Tevita telia hono ngaahi fili. 6 ʻOku ne fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua. 9 ʻOku ne hūfia ʻae kakai.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.
1 Te u tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova
ko hoku makatuʻu; ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi au:
telia, ʻi hoʻo taʻeʻafioʻi au,
te u hoko ʻo tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
2 Ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe,
ʻo kau ka hiki hake hoku nima ki ho folofolaʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
3 ʻOua naʻa ke toho au mo e kau angahala,
pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi,
ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea mālie ki honau kaungāʻapi,
ka ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae kovi.
4 Te ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngāue, ʻo fakatatau ki he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga:
ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa honau nima; ʻange kiate kinautolu honau ʻinanga.
5 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova,
mo e ngāue ʻa hono nima,
te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai langa hake ʻakinautolu.
6 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova,
ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
7 Ko hoku mālohi mo hoku fakaū ʻa Sihova;
naʻe falala kiate ia hoku loto, pea kuo tokoniʻi au:
ko ia ʻoku fiefia lahi ai hoku loto;
pea ʻi heʻeku hiva te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia.
8 Ko e mālohi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu,
pea ko e mālohi fakamoʻui ia ʻo ʻene pani.
9 Ke ke fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai,
mo tāpuaki ho tofiʻa:
tauhi ʻakinautolu foki,
pea hiki hake ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata.
