Saame 108

1 Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, kuo maʻu hoku loto; te u hiva mo ʻatu ʻae fakamālō ʻaki hoku nāunau.

A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.

2 Ke ʻā hake ʻae saliteli mo e haʻape: te u ʻa hengihengi hake pe au.

Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.

3 ‌ʻE Sihova, te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.

I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:

4 He ʻoku lahi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻo māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi langi: mo hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ʻao.

For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.

5 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke māʻolunga lahi hake koe ʻi he ngaahi langi: pea ke māʻolunga hake ho nāunau ʻi māmani kotoa pē;

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.

6 Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo talia au.

That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; te u fiefia, “Te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 ‌ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati; ʻoku ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko hono mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta.

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9 Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi; te u vikiviki koeʻuhi ko Filisitia.”

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.

10 Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

11 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai, te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? Pea ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu, ʻE ʻOtua, mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?

[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

12 Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni ʻi he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

13 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
