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 YHWH. Praise ye the name of YHWH; praise him, O ye servants of YHWH.
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 YHWH, in the courts of the house of our Elohim,
3 Fakamālō kia Sihova; he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova: hiva fakamālō ki hono huafa; he ʻoku mālie ia.
Praise YHWH; for YHWH 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 YAH hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
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 YHWH is great, and that our YHWH is above all elohim.
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 YHWH pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all 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 causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth 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 firstborn 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 tokens 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 great 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 an heritage, an 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 YHWH, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O YHWH, throughout all generations.
14 Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
For YHWH will judge his people, and he will 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 heathen 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 are like unto them: so is 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:
Bless YHWH, O house of Israel: bless YHWH, O house of Aaron:
20 ʻE fale ʻo Livai, ke ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ʻakimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
Bless YHWH, O house of Levi: ye that fear YHWH, bless YHWH.
21 Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei Saione, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
Blessed be YHWH out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye YHWH.
