Saame 135
1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; fakamālō kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah,
2 ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua,
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Fakamālō kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova: hiva fakamālō ki hono huafa; he ʻoku mālie ia.
Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Sēkope maʻana, mo ʻIsileli ko hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession.
5 He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku māʻolunga hake hotau ʻEiki ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe finangalo ki ai ʻa Sihova, ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻi he langi, mo māmani, ʻi he ngaahi tahi, mo e ngaahi potu loloto kotoa pē.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 ʻOku pule ʻe ia ke ʻalu hake ʻae kakapu mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila mo e ʻuha ʻoku ʻomi, ʻe ia ʻae matangi mei hono ngaahi feleoko.
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Ko ia ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;
9 Mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻE ʻIsipite, kia Felo, pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
10 Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi mālohi;
Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings,
11 Ko Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo Kēnani:
Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 Pea naʻe foaki honau fonua ko e tofiʻa, ko e tofiʻa ki ʻIsileli ko hono kakai.
And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.
13 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ho huafa; mo ho fakamanatu, ʻE Sihova, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.
15 Ko e ngaahi tamapua ʻoe hiteni ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16 ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea; ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
17 ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau fanongo; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi honau ngutu.
They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala ki ai.
They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova:
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:
20 ʻE fale ʻo Livai, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻakimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
