Saame 132

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

A Song of Ascents. 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 swore to the LORD, 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;

“Surely I will not come into the structure 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, a dwelling 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 in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

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

“We will go into his dwelling place. 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, LORD, into your resting place, 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. Let your holy ones 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, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

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 to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body 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, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever 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 resting place forever. I will live here, 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. Her holy ones will shout aloud for joy.

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

I will make the horn of David to bud there. 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.”

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
