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 to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
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 does whatever he pleases.
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 don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 ʻOku nau telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ongoʻi: ʻoku ai honau ihu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau nanamu:
They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
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 don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak 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.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
Israel, trust 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.
House of Aaron, trust 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.
You who 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 remembers 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 those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
May 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 you by the LORD, who 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 LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth 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 don’t praise the LORD, nor any who 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 forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
