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 Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.
2 Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
3 Ka ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi: kuo ne fai ʻaia kuo ne finangalo ki ai.
When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
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 works of the hands of men, —
5 ‌ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea: ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata:
A mouth, have they, 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:
Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, 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.
Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
8 Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala ki ai.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
9 ‌ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
10 ‌ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
11 ‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
12 Kuo manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻakitautolu: te ne tāpuaki ʻakitautolu; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone.
Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—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 who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
14 ‌ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
15 ‌ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens 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.
As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
17 ‌ʻOku ʻikai fakamālō kia Sihova ʻae mate, pe ha taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he fakalongo pē.
The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor 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 Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
