< Saame 14 >
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakalielia, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpumbavu anasema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wameharibika, matendo yao ni maovu kabisa; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye mema.
2 Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻe Sihova mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke ʻafio pē ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.
Bwana anawachungulia wanadamu chini kutoka mbinguni aone kama wako wenye akili, wowote wanaomtafuta Mungu.
3 Kuo ʻalu hē kotoa pē, kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.
Wote wamepotoka, wameharibika wote pamoja, hakuna atendaye mema. Naam, hakuna hata mmoja!
4 “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ui kia Sihova.”
Je, watendao mabaya kamwe hawatajifunza: wale ambao huwala watu wangu kama watu walavyo mkate, hao ambao hawamwiti Bwana?
5 Pea naʻa nau manavahē ai ʻi he manavahē lahi: he ʻoku ʻi he toʻutangata ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
Wako hapo, wameingiwa na hofu kuu, maana Mungu yupo pamoja na wenye haki.
6 Naʻa mou manukiʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe masiva, ka ko hono hūfanga ʻa Sihova.
Ninyi watenda mabaya mnakwamisha mipango ya maskini, bali Bwana ndiye kimbilio lao.
7 Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.
Laiti wokovu wa Israeli ungalikuja kutoka Sayuni! Wakati Bwana arejeshapo wafungwa wa watu wake, Yakobo na ashangilie, Israeli na afurahi!
