Saame 140
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angakovi: fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi;
In finem, Psalmus David. Eripe me Domine ab homine malo: a viro iniquo eripe me.
2 ʻAia ʻoku mahalo kovi ʻi honau loto; ʻoku nau fakataha maʻuaipē ke tau.
Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde: tota die constituebant prælia.
3 Kuo nau fakamāsila honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e ngata; ʻoku ʻai ʻae kona ʻoe ngata ʻi honau lalo loungutu. (Sila)
Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis: venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
4 Fakahaofi au, ʻE Sihova, mei he nima ʻoe angahala; fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi, ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ke tulaki hifo hoku vaʻe.
Custodi me Domine de manu peccatoris: et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me. Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
5 Kuo tau fufū ʻe he laukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, mo e ngaahi afo; kuo nau ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga ʻi he veʻe hala; kuo nau teuteu ʻae ngaahi hele kiate au. (Sila)
absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi: Et funes extenderunt in laqueum: iuxta iter scandalum posuerunt mihi.
6 Naʻaku pehē kia Sihova, “Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua:” ʻE Sihova, ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu: exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meæ.
7 ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku fakamoʻui, kuo ke maluʻi hoku ʻulu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.
Domine, Domine virtus salutis meæ: obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli:
8 ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻae angahala: ʻoua naʻa ke tokoni ʻene fakakaukau kovi, telia naʻa nau hiki hake ʻakinautolu. (Sila)
Ne tradas me Domine a desiderio meo peccatori: cogitaverunt contra me, ne derelinquas me, ne forte exaltentur.
9 Ka ko e ʻulu ʻokinautolu ʻoku nau kāpui au, tuku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi ʻo honau loungutu.
Caput circuitus eorum: labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos.
10 Ke tō kiate kinautolu ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku vela: tuku ke lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi; ki he ngaahi luo tau mamaʻo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau toetuʻu hake.
Cadent super eos carbones, in ignem deiicies eos: in miseriis non subsistent.
11 ʻOua naʻa tuku ha tangata lea kovi ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi māmani: ʻe tuli ʻe he kovi ʻae tangata fakamālohi ke tulaki ia.
Vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra: virum iniustum mala capient in interitu.
12 ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ʻae mamahi, mo e ʻinasi totonu ʻoe masiva.
Cognovi quia faciet Dominus iudicium inopis: et vindictam pauperum.
13 Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ki ho huafa: ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi ho ʻao.
Verumtamen iusti confitebuntur nomini tuo: et habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo.
