Saame 106
1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
Hallelujah! Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness, for his kindness endures forever.
2 Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamatala ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻa Sihova? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakahā ʻae fakamālō kotoa pē kiate ia?
Who can describe his heroic deeds, or publish all his praise?
3 ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he fakamaau, mo ia ʻoku fai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
Happy they who act justly, and do righteousness evermore.
4 ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatuʻi au ʻaki ʻae ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ʻaki ki hoʻo kakai: ke ke ʻaʻahi mai kiate au ʻaki hoʻo fakamoʻui;
Remember me, Lord, as you remember your people, and visit me with your gracious help.
5 Koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki he lelei ʻo ia kuo ke fili, koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he fiefia ʻo ho puleʻanga, pea u vikiviki ai fakataha mo ho tofiʻa.
May I see the good fortune of your elect, may I share in the joy of your nation, and in the pride of your heritage.
6 Ko kimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai kuo mau fai angahala, kuo mau fai ʻae ngaahi hia, kuo mau fai kovi.
We, like our fathers, have sinned, we have done perversely and wickedly
7 Naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi ʻIsipite; naʻe ʻikai tenau manatu ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa; ka naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia ʻi he tahi, ʻio, ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
In the land of Egypt our fathers, all heedless of your wonders, and unmindful of your great kindness, at the Red Sea defied the Most High.
8 Ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hono huafa, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻilo ʻa hono mālohi lahi.
But true to his name he saved them, in order to show his might.
9 Naʻe valoki foki ʻe ia ʻae Tahi Kulokula, pea mōmoa ia: ko ia naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he loloto, ʻo hangē ko e toafa.
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried; they marched through the depths as through desert,
10 Pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu, mo ne huhuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe fili.
saved from the hand of the hostile, redeemed from the hand of the foe.
11 Pea naʻe lōmakiʻi honau ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe ʻikai hao ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu.
The waters covered their enemies: not one of them was left.
12 Pea naʻa nau toki tui ki heʻene folofola; naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
So then they believed in his words, and began to sing his praise.
13 Naʻe ngalo leva ʻiate kinautolu ʻene ngaahi ngāue; pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tatali ki heʻene akonaki:
But soon they forgot his deeds: they did not wait for his counsel.
14 Ka naʻa nau holi kovi ʻaupito ʻi he toafa, pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he potu lala.
Their greed was ravenous in the desert; they put God to the test in the wilderness.
15 Pea naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻa nau kole; ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae tutue ki honau laumālie.
He gave them the thing they had asked for, but sent wasting disease among them.
16 Naʻa nau meheka foki kia Mōsese ʻi he loto ʻapitanga, mo ʻElone ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova.
The camp grew jealous of Moses and of Aaron, holy one of the Lord.
17 Naʻe mafahi ʻae kelekele pea folo hifo ai ʻa Tatani, mo ʻufiʻufi ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻEpilami.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered Abiram’s company.
18 Pea naʻe tutu ai ʻae afi ʻi honau kakai; pea vela ke ʻosi ʻe he ulo afi ʻae kau angahala.
Fire broke out on their company, flame kindled upon the wicked.
19 Naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae fakatātā ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻi Holepi, pea lotu ki he fakatātā koula.
They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed to the molten image.
20 Naʻe pehē ʻenau liliu honau nāunau, ki he fakatātā ʻoe pulu ʻaia ʻoku kai mohuku.
They exchanged their glorious God for the image of ox that eats grass.
21 Naʻa nau fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua ko honau fakamoʻui, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻi ʻIsipite;
They forgot the God who had saved them by mighty deeds in Egypt
22 Ko e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Hami, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
Wonders in the land of Ham, terrors by the Red Sea.
23 Ko ia naʻa ne pehē te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka ne ʻikai tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he vahaʻa ʻa Mōsese ʻaia kuo ne fili, ke fakatafoki hono houhau, telia naʻa fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.
So he vowed, and would have destroyed them, but for Moses his elect, who stepped into the breach before him, to divert his deadly wrath.
24 ʻIo, naʻa nau fehiʻa ki he fonua lelei, naʻe ʻikai tenau tui ki heʻene folofola:
They spurned the delightsome land, they refused to believe in his word.
25 Ka naʻa nau lāunga ʻi honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo taʻetokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova.
They grumbled in their tents, would not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26 Ko ia naʻa ne hiki hake ai hono nima kiate kinautolu, ke tulaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa:
So he swore with uplifted hand to lay them low in the wilderness;
27 Ke tulaki foki honau hako ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fonua.
to disperse their seed among heathen, to scatter them over the world.
28 Naʻa nau ului foki kia Peali-Peoli, mo nau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe mate.
Then they joined them to Baal of Peor, and ate what was offered the dead.
29 Ko ia naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi: pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu.
They provoked him to wrath by their deeds, and plague broke out among them.
30 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Finiasi, ʻo fai ʻae fakamaau: pea naʻe lolomi ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha.
Then Phinehas stood between, and so the plague was stayed;
31 Pea naʻe lau ia kiate ia ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻo lauikuonga.
and it was counted to him for righteousness unto all generations forever.
32 Naʻa nau fakahouhau kiate ia foki ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi, pea hoko ʻae kovi kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
They angered him at the waters of Meribah, through them it went ill with Moses.
33 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakatupu hono loto, ko ia naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea taʻengali ʻe hono loungutu.
They rebelled against his spirit, and he uttered speech that was rash.
34 Naʻe ʻikai tenau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu:
They did not destroy the nations, as the Lord had commanded them;
35 Ka naʻa nau nofo fakataha mo e hiteni, pea nau ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
but they mingled with the heathen, and learned to do as they did.
36 Pea naʻa nau tauhi honau ngaahi tamapua: ʻaia naʻe hoko ko e tauhele kiate kinautolu.
Their idol gods they worshipped, and they were ensnared by them.
37 ʻIo, naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki he kau tēvolo,
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.
38 Mo lilingi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni, ko e toto ʻo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻi he toto.
They poured out innocent blood the blood of their sons and daughters whom they offered to Canaan’s idols, and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Pea naʻe fakaʻuliʻi pehē ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea nau fai feʻauaki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
They became unclean by their works, and adulterous in their deeds.
40 Ko ia naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki hono kakai, pea ne fākaliliʻa ai ki hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
Then the Lord’s fury was on his people, filled with horror at his inheritance.
41 Pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe hiteni; pea naʻe pule kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
He delivered them to the heathen, to the sway of those who hated them.
42 Pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea fakamoʻulaloa ʻakinautolu ki honau lalo nima.
Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
43 Naʻe liunga lahi ʻene fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu; ka naʻa nau fakahouhauʻi ia ʻi heʻenau fakakaukau, pea naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia.
Many a time he saved them, but they rebelled at his counsel, and were brought low by their wrongdoing.
44 Ka naʻa ne tokanga ki heʻenau mamahi, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻenau tangi:
Yet he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.
45 Pea ne manatuʻi ʻa ʻene fuakava mo kinautolu, pea ne fakatomala ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
He remembered his covenant, and, in his great kindness, relented.
46 naʻa ne pule foki ke manavaʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu.
He caused them to be pitied by all who carried them captive.
47 Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, pea tānaki ʻakimautolu mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ke mau fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea hanuhanu ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us out of the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, and to make our boast of your praise.
48 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova koe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata; pea tuku ke lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻEmeni. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say “Amen.” Praise the Lord.
