< Saame 135 >
1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; fakamālō kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.
2 ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua,
You who stand in the house of the Lord, 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 the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing psalms to his name, for it is sweet.
4 He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Sēkope maʻana, mo ʻIsileli ko hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, 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 have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before 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.
All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.
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.
He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.
8 Ko ia ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu.
He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.
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.
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.
10 Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi mālohi;
He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong 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 he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.
13 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ho huafa; mo ho fakamanatu, ʻE Sihova, ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.
14 Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by 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 Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
16 ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea; ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata;
They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.
17 ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau fanongo; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi honau ngutu.
They have ears, and do not hear. For 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.
Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
19 ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova:
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 ʻE fale ʻo Livai, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻakimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.
