Saame 118
1 Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
2 Ke lea ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “ʻOku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”
Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
3 Ke lea ni ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone, “ʻOku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.”
Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
4 Tuku ke lea ni ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
5 Naʻaku ui kia Sihova ʻi he mamahi: pea naʻe talia au ʻe Sihova, mo ne tuku au ki he potu ʻataʻatā.
I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.
6 ʻOku kau maʻaku ʻa Sihova; ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ko e hā ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.
Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
7 ʻOku fai maʻaku ʻa Sihova mo kinautolu ʻoku nau tokoni au: ko ia te u mamata ai kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.
Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
8 ʻOku lelei lahi ʻae falala kia Sihova ʻi he falala ki he tangata.
It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;
9 ʻOku lelei lahi ʻae falala kia Sihova ʻi he falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki.
It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.
10 Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē: ka ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.
All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
11 Naʻa nau takatakai au; ʻio, naʻa nau kāpui au: ka ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.
They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
12 Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻo hangē ko e fanga pi; kuo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e afi ʻi he ʻakau talatala: he te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.
They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
13 Kuo ke tekeʻi mālohi au koeʻuhi ke u hinga ai: ka naʻe tokoni au ʻe Sihova
Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.
14 Ko hoku mālohi ʻa Sihova mo ʻeku hiva, pea kuo hoko ia ko hoku fakamoʻui.
My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.
15 Ko e lea ʻoe fiefia mo e fakamoʻui ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe angatonu: ʻoku fai mālohi ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova.
The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;
16 Kuo hiki hake ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova: ʻoku fai mālohi ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova.
The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
17 ʻE ʻikai te u mate, kae moʻui, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.
18 Kuo tautea fakamamahiʻi au ʻe Sihova: ka ʻoku teʻeki ai te ne tukuange au ki he mate.
Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Toʻo kiate au ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: te u hū ai, pea u fakamālō kia Sihova:
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.
20 Ko e matapā eni ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻe hū ai ʻae angatonu.
This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.
21 Te u fakamālō kiate koe: he kuo ke ongoʻi au, pea kuo ke hoko ko hoku fakamoʻui.
I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga kuo hoko ia ko e fungani maka ʻoe tuliki.
[The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:
23 Ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova; pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao.
This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.
24 Ko e ʻaho eni kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova; te tau fiefia pea nekeneka ai.
This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui ni: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku mai ni ʻae monūʻia.
Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!
26 Ke monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: kuo mau tāpuekina ʻakimoutolu mei he fale ʻo Sihova.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
27 Ko e ʻOtua ko Sihova ia, ʻaia kuo ne fakahā ʻae maama kiate kitautolu: mou nonoʻo ʻae feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ki he ngaahi nifo, ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, — up to the horns of the altar.
28 Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua, pea te u fakamālō kiate koe: ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua, te u fakahikihikiʻi koe.
Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.
29 Mou ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku angalelei ia: koeʻuhi ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
