Saame 148

1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova mei he ngaahi langi: fakamālō ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.

2 Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻa ʻene ngaahi kautau kotoa pē.

Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

3 Mo fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae laʻā mo e māhina: mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu kotoa pē ʻoe maama.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.

4 Mou fakamālō kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi langi ʻoe ngaahi langi, mo e ngaahi vai ʻoku māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi.

Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.

5 Kenau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he naʻe fekau ʻe ia, pea naʻe fakatupu ʻakinautolu.

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.

6 Pea kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata. Kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni pea ʻe ʻikai mole ia.

He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.

7 Fakamālō kia Sihova mei māmani, ʻae fanga talākoni, mo e ngaahi loloto kotoa pē:

Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,

8 ‌ʻAe afi, mo e ʻuha maka; ʻae ʻuha hinehina, mo e ngaahi kakapu; ʻae matangi mālohi ʻoku fakamoʻoni ki heʻene folofola:

fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.

9 ‌ʻAe ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi foʻi moʻunga kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fua, mo e ngaahi sita kotoa pē:

Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

10 ‌ʻAe fanga manu hehengi, mo e manu lalata kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi meʻa totolo, mo e manupuna:

animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.

11 ‌ʻAe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, mo e kakai kotoa pē; ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē ʻo māmani:

Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,

12 ‌ʻAe kau tangata talavou, mo e kau taʻahine; ʻae kau mātuʻa, mo e fānau:

both young men and young women, elderly and children.

13 Ke nau fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova: he ko hono huafa pē ʻoku māʻolunga; mo hono nāunau ʻoku māʻolunga hake ia ʻi māmani mo e langi.

Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.

14 ‌ʻOku hiki hake foki ʻe ia ʻae nifo ʻo hono kakai, ko ia ʻoku fakamālō ai ʻa ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē; ʻio, ʻa hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, ko e kakai ʻoku ofi kiate ia. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.

He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
