< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:
2 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
‌ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;
3 'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
“Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;
4 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
‌ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ʻae mohe ki hoku mata, pe ko e tulemohe ki hoku laumata,
5 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
Kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ha potu moʻo Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻo Sēkope.”
6 'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have 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 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
“Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”
8 Arise, O Jehovah, to 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 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.
10 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.
11 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on 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 sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
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 fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.
14 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
“Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.
15 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
Ko e moʻoni te u tāpuaki lahi hono meʻakai: te u fakamākona ʻa hono kau masiva ʻaki ʻae mā.
16 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
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 I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
Te u ngaohi ke moto ai ʻae nifo ʻo Tevita: kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae maama ʻa ʻeku pani.
18 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
Te u fakakofuʻaki hono ngaahi fili ʻae mā: ka ʻe maʻuiʻui ʻa hono tatā ʻiate ia.”
