Saame 130

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻE Sihova, naʻaku tangi kiate koe mei he ngaahi moana.

A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

2 ‌ʻE ʻEiki, ke ke ongoʻi hoku leʻo: fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

3 Kapau te ke fakaʻilonga, ʻE Sihova, ʻae ngaahi hia, ʻE ʻEiki, ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu?

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4 Ka ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae fakamolemole, koeʻuhi ke manavahē ai kiate koe.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

5 ‌ʻOku ou tatali kia Sihova, ʻoku tatali ʻa hoku laumālie, pea ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei ki heʻene folofola.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

6 ‌ʻOku tatali ʻa hoku laumālie kia Sihova ʻo lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau leʻo ki he pongipongi: ʻoku ou pehē, ʻo lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau leʻo ki he pongipongi.

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

7 Ke ʻamanaki ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova: he ʻoku ʻia Sihova ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae huhuʻi lahi.

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 Pea te ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻene ngaahi hia kotoa pē.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
