Saame 132

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:

Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

2 ‌ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;

How he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the mighty God of Jacob;

3 “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;

Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

4 ‌ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ʻae mohe ki hoku mata, pe ko e tulemohe ki hoku laumata,

I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

5 Kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ha potu moʻo Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻo Sēkope.”

Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6 Vakai, naʻa tau fanongo ki ai ʻi ʻEfalata: pea naʻa tau ʻilo ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻoe vao.

See, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 “Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”

We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8 Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ki ho mālōlōʻanga; ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo ho mālohi.

Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.

9 Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.

10 Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.

For your servant David’s sake turn not away the face of your anointed.

11 Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he moʻoni kia Tevita; ʻe ʻikai te ne liliu mei ai; “Te u fokotuʻu ki ho nofoʻa ʻae fua ʻo ho sino.

The LORD has sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set on your throne.

12 Kapau ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo fānau ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻaia te u ako kiate kinautolu, ʻe nofo foki ʻenau fānau ʻi ho nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga.”

If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit on your throne for ever more.

13 He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.

For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.

14 “Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

15 Ko e moʻoni te u tāpuaki lahi hono meʻakai: te u fakamākona ʻa hono kau masiva ʻaki ʻae mā.

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Te u fakakofu foki ʻene kau taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui: pea ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni tenau kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ʻi he fiefia.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

17 Te u ngaohi ke moto ai ʻae nifo ʻo Tevita: kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae maama ʻa ʻeku pani.

There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

18 Te u fakakofuʻaki hono ngaahi fili ʻae mā: ka ʻe maʻuiʻui ʻa hono tatā ʻiate ia.”

His enemies will I clothe with shame: but on himself shall his crown flourish.
