“Ui eni, ka ʻoku ai ha taha te ne talia koe; pea ko hai ʻi he kau māʻoniʻoni te ke hanga ki ai?

He ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻe he houhau ʻae tangata vale, pea fakaʻauha ʻe he tuputāmaki ʻae fakavalevale.

Kuo u mamata ki he vale kuo aka, kae fakafokifā ne u tuku hono ʻapi ki he malaʻia.

Ka kuo fanauʻi ʻae tangata ki he mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e puna hake ʻae kalofiama.
8 “Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ me a, anka meguan atoa Onyankopɔn; na mede mʼasɛm ato nʼanim.
“Ko ia te u kumi ki he ʻOtua, pea te u tuku ʻeku ngāue ki he ʻOtua:

Ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea ne fekau hifo ʻae ngaahi vai ki he tokaʻanga ngoue:

Pea te ke ʻilo ʻe melino pe ho nofoʻanga; te ke ʻaʻahi ki ho ʻapi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke angahala.
25 Wubehu sɛ wo mma bɛyɛ bebree; na wʼase bɛfɛe sɛ asase so sare.
Pea te ke ʻilo foki ʻe tokolahi ho hako, pea ʻe tatau hoʻo fānau mo e mohuku ʻoe fonua.

Te ke hoko ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he motuʻa lelei, ʻo hangē ko e ʻū koane ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu.
27 “Yɛahwehwɛ eyi mu, na ɛyɛ nokware ɛno nti tie na fa toto wʼabrabɔ ho.”
Vakai ko e meʻa ni, kuo mau ʻekea, pea ʻoku pehē pe ia; fanongo ki ai, pea ke ʻilo ia maʻau.
