Saame 149

1 Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

2 Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

4 He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5 Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.

Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

7 Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:

to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise the LORD!
