< Saame 103 >
1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻa hoku laumālie: pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, fakafetaʻi ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
A Psalme of David. My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and all that is within me, prayse his holy Name.
2 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻoua naʻa ngalo ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē:
My soule, prayse thou the Lord, and forget not all his benefites.
3 ʻAia ʻoku ne fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi hia kotoa pē; mo ne fakamoʻui ho ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē;
Which forgiueth all thine iniquitie, and healeth all thine infirmities.
4 ʻAia ʻoku ne huhuʻi hoʻo moʻui mei he fakaʻauha; ʻo ne tatā ʻaki koe ʻae manavaʻofa mo e ʻaloʻofa ongongofua;
Which redeemeth thy life from the graue, and crowneth thee with mercy and compassions.
5 ʻAia ʻoku ne fakamākona ʻaki ho ngutu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei; ko ia kuo toe tupulaki ai ho talavou ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale.
Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy youth is renued like the eagles.
6 ʻOku fai ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamālohia.
The Lord executeth righteousnes and iudgement to all that are oppressed.
7 Naʻa ne fakahā hono ngaahi hala kia Mōsese, mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
He made his wayes knowen vnto Moses, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.
8 ʻOku manavaʻofa mo angalelei ʻa Sihova, ʻoku faʻa kātaki, pea mohu ʻaloʻofa.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 ʻE ʻikai te ne valoki maʻuaipē: pea ʻe ʻikai tuputāmaki ʻo taʻengata.
He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia kiate kitautolu ʻo fakatatau mo ʻetau ngaahi angahala; pe totongi kiate kitautolu ʻo fakatatau mo ʻetau ngaahi hia.
He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 Kae hangē ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe langi ki māmani, ʻoku pehē hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
12 ʻOku hangē ko hono vā mamaʻo ʻoe potu hahake mei he potu lulunga, ʻoku pehē hono mamaʻo ʻo ʻene ʻave ʻetau ngaahi angahala ʻiate kitautolu.
As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 Pea hangē ʻoku manavaʻofa ʻae tamai ki heʻene fānau, ʻoku pehē ʻae manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hotau anga; ʻoku ne manatu ko e efu pe ʻakitautolu.
For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 Pea ko e tangata, ʻoku tatau hono ngaahi ʻaho mo e mohuku: pea hangē ko e fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue hono lau maʻuiʻui.
The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 He ʻoku ʻalu atu ki ai ʻae matangi, pea kuo ʻikai ia; pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi toe ʻilo ia ʻi hono potu.
For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 Ka ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻoku talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia, pea ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki he fānau ʻae fānau;
But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
18 Kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tauhi ʻene fuakava, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku nau manatu ki heʻene ngaahi fekau ke fai ki ai.
Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
19 Kuo teuteu ʻe Sihova hono ʻafioʻanga ʻi he ngaahi langi; pea ʻoku pule hono puleʻanga ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his Kingdome ruleth ouer all.
20 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau ʻāngelo, ʻoku lahi homou mālohi, pea ʻoku mou fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo fakafanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene folofola.
Prayse the Lord, ye his Angels, that excell in strength, that doe his commandement in obeying the voyce of his worde.
21 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ko ʻene ngaahi kautau; ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau faifekau, ʻoku mou fai ki hono finangalo.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his hostes, ye his seruants that doe his pleasure.
22 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga: fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie.
Prayse the Lord, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my soule, prayse thou the Lord.
