Saame 115
1 ʻOua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ka ki ho huafa ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea mo hoʻo moʻoni.
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 Ka ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi: kuo ne fai ʻaia kuo ne finangalo ki ai.
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 Ko honau ngaahi tamapua ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea: ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata:
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 ʻOku nau telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ongoʻi: ʻoku ai honau ihu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau nanamu:
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae nima, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ala ki ha meʻa: ʻoku ai honau vaʻe, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻaʻeva: pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea ʻaki honau kia.
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala ki ai.
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
12 Kuo manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻakitautolu: te ne tāpuaki ʻakitautolu; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone.
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 Te ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi.
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 ʻOku ʻo Sihova ʻae langi, ʻio, ko e ngaahi langi: pea kuo ne foaki ʻa māmani ki he fānau ʻae tangata.
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 ʻOku ʻikai fakamālō kia Sihova ʻae mate, pe ha taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he fakalongo pē.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 Ka te tau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei he ʻaho ni ʻo taʻengata. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
