Saame 112

1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ne manavahē kia Sihova, mo ne fiefia lahi ʻi heʻene ngaahi fekau.

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

2 ‌ʻE mālohi hono hako ʻi māmani: ko e toʻutangata ʻoe angatonu tenau monūʻia.

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 ‌ʻE ʻi hono fale ʻae koloa mo e nāunau: pea ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene angatonu.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 ‌ʻOku tupu ʻae maama ki he angatonu ʻi he poʻuli: ʻoku angaʻofa ia, pea fonu ʻi he manavaʻofa, pea māʻoniʻoni.

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

5 ‌ʻOku fakahā ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻae ʻofa, pea ʻoku faʻa ʻatu: te ne pule ki heʻene meʻa ʻi he poto.

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

6 Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia ʻo lauikuonga: ʻe taʻengata ʻae fakamanatu ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni.

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ne manavahē ki he ongoongo kovi: kuo maʻu hono loto ʻi he falala kia Sihova.

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

8 Kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa hono loto: ʻe ʻikai te ne manavahē, ka ʻe mamata ia ki hono ngaahi fili.

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 Kuo tufa ʻe ia, kuo ne foaki ki he masiva; ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene angatonu; ʻe hiki hake hono nifo ʻi he ongolelei.

He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 ‌ʻE mamata ki ai ʻae angahala, pea tenau mamahi: ʻe fengaiʻitaki hono nifo, pea ʻe mole atu ia: ʻe ʻauha ʻae holi ʻae angahala.

The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
