1 Ko e tangi ʻa Tevita ʻi hono mahaki. 8 ʻI heʻene tui ʻoku ne fiefia ki hono ngaahi fili.

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina ʻi he Semini, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke valokiʻi au ʻi ho houhau,

pe tautea au ʻi ho houhau vela.

2‌ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova; he ʻoku ou vaivai:

ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au he kuo mamahi hoku ngaahi hui.

3‌ʻOku mamahi lahi foki mo hoku laumālie:

ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa?

4Tafoki mai, ʻE Sihova, fakahaofi hoku laumālie:

ʻoiauē, fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.

5He ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamanatu kiate koe ʻi he mate:

ko hai te ne fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻi he faʻitoka?

6Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku faʻa toʻe;

ʻoku ou fakatētē hoku mohenga ʻi he pō kotoa;

ʻoku ou fakaviviku ʻa hoku mohenga ʻaki hoku loʻimata.

7Kuo tutue hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi;

ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ke motuʻa ia koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.

8‌ʻAlu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi;

he kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku tangi.

9Kuo fanongo ʻa Sihova ki heʻeku hū tāumaʻu;

pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku lotu.

10Tuku ke mā mo mamahi lahi ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē:

tuku ke nau foki pea mā fakafokifā pe.
