< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; fakamālō kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua,
3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
Fakamālō kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova: hiva fakamālō ki hono huafa; he ʻoku mālie ia.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Sēkope maʻana, mo ʻIsileli ko hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku māʻolunga hake hotau ʻEiki ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
Ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe finangalo ki ai ʻa Sihova, ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻi he langi, mo māmani, ʻi he ngaahi tahi, mo e ngaahi potu loloto kotoa pē.
7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
‌ʻOku pule ʻe ia ke ʻalu hake ʻae kakapu mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila mo e ʻuha ʻoku ʻomi, ʻe ia ʻae matangi mei hono ngaahi feleoko.
8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
Ko ia ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu.
9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
Mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻE ʻIsipite, kia Felo, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi mālohi;
11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
Ko Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani:
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
Pea naʻe foaki honau fonua ko e tofiʻa, ko e tofiʻa ki ʻIsileli ko hono kakai.
13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ho huafa; mo ho fakamanatu, ʻE Sihova, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
Ko e ngaahi tamapua ʻoe hiteni ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
‌ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea; ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata;
17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
‌ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau fanongo; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi honau ngutu.
18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala ki ai.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
‌ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova:
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
‌ʻE fale ʻo Livai, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻakimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
