Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. Ko ʻene Lotu ʻi he ʻana. Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo; ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.
Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao;
ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.
ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie,
ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga.
ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.
Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au:
naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga;
naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.
Naʻaku tangi kiate koe,
ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē,
Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga,
mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi;
he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito:
fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga;
he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.
ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula,
koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa:
ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu;
he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
