2 “Vakai! Kuó u ʻai koe ko e siʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá;

ʻOku mātuʻaki taʻetokaʻi koe.+

 3 Ko e ʻafungi ʻo ho lotó kuó ne kākaaʻi koé,+

ʻA koe ʻokú ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi avaʻi maká,

ʻO nofo ʻi he taukakapá, ʻo ke pehē ʻi ho lotó,

‘Ko hai te ne ʻohifo au ki he māmaní?’

 4 Naʻa mo haʻo ʻai ho nofoʻangá ʻi he taukakapá* ʻo hangē ko e ʻīkalé,

Pe kapau te ke fokotuʻu ho punungá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fetuʻú,

Te u ʻohifo koe mei ai,” ko e fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihová.
