Saame 132
1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!
2 ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;
How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;
“I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on 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, Nor 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 a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Vakai, naʻa tau fanongo ki ai ʻi ʻEfalata: pea naʻa tau ʻilo ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻoe vao.
Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.
7 “Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”
Let us go into his habitation; Let us 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 thy rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength!
9 Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, And thy holy ones shout for joy!
10 Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.
For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer of thine 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.
Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David, And he will not depart from it: “Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.
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 thy children keep my covenant, And my statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages Shall sit upon thy throne.”
13 He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it as his dwelling-place.
14 “Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.
“This is my resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell, for I have chosen 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 holy ones 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 cause to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light for mine 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, And the crown shall glitter upon his head.”
