Saame 130

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

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O YHWH.

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

YHWH, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If thou, YAH, shouldest mark iniquities, O YHWH, who shall stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

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

I wait for YHWH, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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 waiteth for YHWH more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

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

Let Israel hope in YHWH: for with YHWH there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

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

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
