< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
‌ʻOua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ka ki ho huafa ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea mo hoʻo moʻoni.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
Ka ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi: kuo ne fai ʻaia kuo ne finangalo ki ai.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Ko honau ngaahi tamapua ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
5 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
‌ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea: ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata:
6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
‌ʻOku nau telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ongoʻi: ʻoku ai honau ihu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau nanamu:
7 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
‌ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae nima, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ala ki ha meʻa: ʻoku ai honau vaʻe, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻaʻeva: pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea ʻaki honau kia.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala ki ai.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
‌ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
‌ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
Kuo manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻakitautolu: te ne tāpuaki ʻakitautolu; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone.
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
Te ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
‌ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
15 Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
‌ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
‌ʻOku ʻo Sihova ʻae langi, ʻio, ko e ngaahi langi: pea kuo ne foaki ʻa māmani ki he fānau ʻae tangata.
17 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
‌ʻOku ʻikai fakamālō kia Sihova ʻae mate, pe ha taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he fakalongo pē.
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Ka te tau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei he ʻaho ni ʻo taʻengata. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
