Saame 121

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Te u hanga hake hoku mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai hoku tokoni.

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 ‌ʻOku haʻu hoku tokoni meia Sihova, ʻaia ne ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 ‌ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke hiki ho vaʻe: ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi koe ʻe ʻikai tulemohe ia.

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 Vakai, ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe ʻikai te ne tulemohe pe mohe.

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 Ko Sihova ko ho tauhi: ko Sihova ko ho fakamalu ia ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu.

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 ‌ʻE ʻikai taaʻi koe ʻe he laʻā ʻi he ʻaho, pe ʻe he māhina ʻi he pō.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 ‌ʻE fakahaofi koe ʻe Sihova mei he kovi kotoa pē: te ne fakamoʻui ho laumālie.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 ‌ʻE tauhi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ʻalu kituʻa mo hoʻo liu mai mei he ʻaho ni, pea taʻengata.

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
