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 unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2 Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now 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 the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Ko honau ngaahi tamapua ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 ‌ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea: ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata:
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
6 ‌ʻOku nau telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ongoʻi: ʻoku ai honau ihu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau nanamu:
They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell 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 have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat.
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 shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
9 ‌ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
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: he is their help and their shield.
11 ‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help 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 been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 Te ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 ‌ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 ‌ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
Blessed are ye of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
16 ‌ʻOku ʻo Sihova ʻae langi, ʻio, ko e ngaahi langi: pea kuo ne foaki ʻa māmani ki he fānau ʻae tangata.
The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 ‌ʻOku ʻikai fakamālō kia Sihova ʻae mate, pe ha taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he fakalongo pē.
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
18 Ka te tau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei he ʻaho ni ʻo taʻengata. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye the LORD.
