31 Koʼeni te ʼu palalau ʼa te Hau ko Lemuele, ʼe ko te ʼu palalau maʼuhiga ʼa tana faʼe moʼona akoʼi:+
2 Siʼaku tama, kotea ka au ui atu?
ʼEi, siʼi koe ʼae neʼe au fuafatuʼi, kotea ka au ui atu?
Kotea he palalau ka au foaki atu, tama ʼo ʼaku fakaʼamu?+
3 ʼAua naʼa ke fakaʼaogaʼi tou malohi ki te hahaʼi fafine,+
Mo ke fai he aga ʼe tuʼutamaki ai ni hau.+
4 Lemuele, ʼe mole ʼa te ʼu hau,
ʼEi, ʼe mole ʼa te ʼu hau te inu ʼo te vino
Pea ke ui e te ʼu pule: “Foaki mai he meʼa ke matou iinu,”+
5 Naʼa natou iinu mo galoʼi te lao
Pea mo kakaʼi natou ʼae ʼe liliki.
7 Ke natou iinu mo galoʼi ai tonatou masiva
Pea ke mole natou manatuʼi ai tonatou malaʼia.
8 Palalau maʼa ia ʼae ʼe ʼalelo mate
Mo haofaki natou fuli ʼae ka mamate.+

ʼE ina foaki te meʼa kai ki tona famili,
Pea ki ʼana fafine kaugana tonatou vahe.+
ז [Saini]
16 ʼE ina fakatotonu ke ina maʼu he gaueʼaga pea ʼe ina totogi.

Pea mo puke te meʼa takai filo.+
כ [Kafa]
20 ʼE tokoni kia ia ʼae ʼe veliveli,
Pea ʼe lotofoaki kia ia ʼae ʼe masiva.+
ל [Lameta]
21 ʼE mole tuʼania ia ʼo ʼuhiga mo tona famili ʼi te temi nive
He ʼe natou kofu mafana fuli.

22 ʼE ina fai tonu ʼana kie kafu.
Pea ʼe ina fai ʼaki te lino mo te fuluʼi ovi huʼa lotuma fakapoʼuli ʼona mutuʼi meʼa.
נ [Nuna]
23 ʼE iloa tona ʼohoana ʼi te ʼu matapa ʼo te kolo,+
Pea ʼe heka fakatahi mo te kau takitaki ʼo te fenua.

24 ʼE ina fai mo fakatau ni mutuʼi meʼa lino,
Pea mo toe fakatau ni kiliʼi pipi ki te ʼu tagata faikoloa.

25 ʼE ina maʼu te malohi mo te taulekaleka,
ʼE sio mo lotofalala ki te ka haʼu.
