< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova mei he ngaahi langi: fakamālō ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene ngaahi kautau kotoa pē.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Mo fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae laʻā mo e māhina: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu kotoa pē ʻoe maama.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi langi ʻoe ngaahi langi, mo e ngaahi vai ʻoku māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
Kenau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he naʻe fekau ʻe ia, pea naʻe fakatupu ʻakinautolu.
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Pea kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata. Kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni pea ʻe ʻikai mole ia.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Fakamālō kia Sihova mei māmani, ʻae fanga talākoni, mo e ngaahi loloto kotoa pē:
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
ʻAe afi, mo e ʻuha maka; ʻae ʻuha hinehina, mo e ngaahi kakapu; ʻae matangi mālohi ʻoku fakamoʻoni ki heʻene folofola:
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
ʻAe ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi foʻi moʻunga kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fua, mo e ngaahi sita kotoa pē:
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
ʻAe fanga manu hehengi, mo e manu lalata kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi meʻa totolo, mo e manupuna:
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
ʻAe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, mo e kakai kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē ʻo māmani:
12 young men and women, old people and children—
ʻAe kau tangata talavou, mo e kau taʻahine; ʻae kau mātuʻa, mo e fānau:
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
Ke nau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he ko hono huafa pē ʻoku māʻolunga; mo hono nāunau ʻoku māʻolunga hake ia ʻi māmani mo e langi.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
ʻOku hiki hake foki ʻe ia ʻae nifo ʻo hono kakai, ko ia ʻoku fakamālō ai ʻa ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē; ʻio, ʻa hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, ko e kakai ʻoku ofi kiate ia. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
