  3. Ti fevagavagahauaki na lautolu ko e taha ke he taha, Hau ā ke eke e tautolu e tau maka kelekele, ti tunu fakalahi ke he afi. Ti eke e tau maka kelekele mo maka ha lautolu, mo e hemeri foki kua eke mo puga ha lautolu.
  4. Ti pehe age a lautolu, O mai ā, kia ati e tautolu taha maga, mo e taha kolo, kia hoko hana tapunu ke he lagi; kia eke e tautolu e mena ke talahaua ai a tautolu, neke mavehevehe fano a tautolu ke he lalolagi oti kana.
  5. Ti haele hifo a Iehova ke kitekite ke he maga, mo e kolo, kua ati he tau tagata.
  6. Ti pehe a Iehova, Kitiala, taha ni e motu, ti taha e vagahau ia lautolu oti; kua kamata foki a lautolu ke eke e mena nai, ko e hanai, nakai tuai maeke ke taofi a lautolu ke he taha mena taha kua manatu a lautolu ke eke.
