¶ 1 NAAKU toe haga hake hoku mata, beau jio, bea vakai, koe tagata nae i hono nima ae afo koe fua.

2 Bea naaku fehui kiate ia, Ko hoo alu ena kife? Bea naa ne behe mai kiate au, Ke fua a Jelusalema mo vakai be oku fefe hono māukubu, bea fefe mo hono loloa oia.

3 Bea iloage nae alu atu ae agelo aia naa ma talanoa, bea alu atu moe agelo e taha ko hono fakafetaulaki.

4 Bea ne behe mai kiate ia, Lele mo lea ki he tagata talavou na, o behe, E kakai a Jelusalema o tatau moe gaahi botu kakai oku ikai a‘i, koeuhi ko hono toko lahi oe kakai moe faga manu i ai:

5 E oku behe e Jihova, Teu hage au koe a afi oku takatakai iate ia, bea ko au koe nāunāu i hono lotolotoga.

¶ 6 E! E! hola mei he fonua i he botu tokelau, oku behe e Jihova! he kuou fakamovete akimoutolu o hage koe matagi ki he feituu e fa oe lagi: oku behe e Jihova.

¶ 10 E taahine o Saione hiva mo fakafiefia: he oku behe e Jihova, vakai oku ou ha‘u, bea teu nofo i ho lotolotoga oou.

11 Bea e lahi ae buleaga e kau mo Jihova i he aho koia, bea nau hoko ko hoku kakai; bea teu nofo i ho lotolotoga oou, bea te ke ilo ai kuo fekau au kiate koe, E Jihova oe gaahi kau tau.
