< Saame 146 >
1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Fakamālō kia Sihova, ʻE hoku laumālie.
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
2 Te u fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he ngaahi ʻeiki, pe ki he foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ʻiate ia.
Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
4 ʻOku mole atu ʻene mānava, pea ʻoku foki ia ki he kelekele; ʻoku mole ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻene ngaahi mahalo.
His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hono tokoni, pea ko ʻene ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 ʻAia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, ʻae tahi mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae moʻoni ʻo lauikuonga:
who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
7 ʻAia ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamaau koeʻuhi ko e kakai fakamālohia: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai ki he fiekaia. ʻOku vete ʻe Sihova ʻae kau pōpula:
who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
8 ʻOku fakaʻā ʻe Sihova ʻae kui: ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu kuo mapelu ki lalo: ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he angatonu:
the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
9 ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai muli; ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti: ka ko e hala ʻoe angahala ʻoku ne fulihi ia.
he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
10 ʻE pule ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko ho ʻOtua, ʻE Saione, ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
