Psalms 132
1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!
Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:
2 How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;
3 “I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on my bed,
“Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, Nor slumber to my eyelids,
ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ʻae mohe ki hoku mata, pe ko e tulemohe ki hoku laumata,
5 Until I find a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ha potu moʻo Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻo Sēkope.”
6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.
Vakai, naʻa tau fanongo ki ai ʻi ʻEfalata: pea naʻa tau ʻilo ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻoe vao.
7 Let us go into his habitation; Let us worship at his footstool!
“Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”
8 Arise, O LORD! into thy rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength!
Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ki ho mālōlōʻanga; ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo ho mālohi.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, And thy holy ones shout for joy!
Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.
10 For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer of thine anointed!
Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.
11 Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David, And he will not depart from it: “Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.
Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he moʻoni kia Tevita; ʻe ʻikai te ne liliu mei ai; “Te u fokotuʻu ki ho nofoʻa ʻae fua ʻo ho sino.
12 If thy children keep my covenant, And my statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages Shall sit upon thy throne.”
Kapau ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo fānau ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻaia te u ako kiate kinautolu, ʻe nofo foki ʻenau fānau ʻi ho nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga.”
13 For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it as his dwelling-place.
He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.
14 “This is my resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
“Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Ko e moʻoni te u tāpuaki lahi hono meʻakai: te u fakamākona ʻa hono kau masiva ʻaki ʻae mā.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her holy ones shall shout aloud for joy.
Te u fakakofu foki ʻene kau taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui: pea ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni tenau kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ʻi he fiefia.
17 There will I cause to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light for mine anointed.
Te u ngaohi ke moto ai ʻae nifo ʻo Tevita: kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae maama ʻa ʻeku pani.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame, And the crown shall glitter upon his head.”
Te u fakakofuʻaki hono ngaahi fili ʻae mā: ka ʻe maʻuiʻui ʻa hono tatā ʻiate ia.”
