Saame 125

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala kia Sihova tenau tatau mo e moʻunga ko Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi faʻa hiki, kae tuʻumaʻu pe ʻo taʻengata.

Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.

2 Hangē ko e takatakai ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Selūsalema, ʻoku takatakai pehē ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai mei he ʻaho ni ʻo lauikuonga.

Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.

3 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tuku maʻu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angahala ʻi he tofiʻa ʻoe angatonu; telia naʻa mafao atu ʻe he angatonu honau nima ki he angahala.

Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.

4 ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku angalelei, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatonu ʻi honau loto.

Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

5 Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku nau afe ki honau ngaahi hala pikopiko, ʻe tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova fakataha mo e kakai fai kovi: ka ʻe hoko ʻae melino ki ʻIsileli.

But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
