1 Ko e lotu ʻa Tevita ke maʻu ʻene kole ʻe he ʻOtua, 3 Ke māʻoniʻoni hono loto, 7 Pea ke hao ʻa ʻene moʻui mei he ngaahi tauhele.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou tangi kiate koe:

ke ke haʻu vave kiate au;

fakafanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe.

2Ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ʻo hangē ko e meʻa namu kakala;

mo e hiki hake ʻo hoku nima ʻo hangē ko e feilaulau ʻoe efiafi.

3‌ʻE Sihova, fakanofo ʻae leʻo ki hoku ngutu;

tauhi ʻae matapā ʻo hoku loungutu.

4‌ʻOua naʻa ueʻi hoku loto ki ha meʻa kovi ʻe taha,

ke fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue kovi mo e kau tangata ʻoku fai kovi:

pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke u kai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻa lelei.

5Ke taaʻi au ʻe he angatonu; pea ko e ʻofa ia:

pea tuku ke ne valokiʻi au; ko e lolo lelei ia, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai foa ai hoku ʻulu:

he ko ʻeku lotu foki ʻe fai ia ʻi heʻenau ngaahi mamahi.

6‌ʻOka hinga ʻenau kau fakamaau ʻi he ngaahi potu tokatāmaki,

tenau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea; he ʻoku melie ia.

7Kuo movetevete hotau ngaahi hui ʻi he ngutu ʻoe faʻitoka,

ʻo hangē ko e taaʻi ʻo mafahi ʻe he taha ʻae ʻakau ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua.

8Ka ʻoku hanga hoku mata kiate koe,

ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki: ʻoku ou falala kiate koe;

ʻoua naʻa ke siʻaki hoku laumālie.

9Taʻofi au mei he ngaahi tauhele kuo nau ʻai kiate au,

mo e ngaahi meʻa fakauʻu, ʻae kakai fai kovi.

10Tuku ke tō ʻae angahala ki he ngaahi kupenga ʻanautolu,

ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku hao mei ai.
