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 ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of 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 that made him: 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 the timbrel and harp:

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

[Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, 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 upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;

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 upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
