Saame 15

1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, ko hai te ne nofo ʻi ho fale fehikitaki? Ko hai te ne nofomaʻu ʻi ho moʻunga māʻoniʻoni?

Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?

2 Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu, pea ngāue ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻi hono loto.

He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

3 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai lauʻikovi ʻaki hono ʻelelo, pe fai kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi, pe toʻo hake ʻae lea kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi.

He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 ‌ʻAia ʻoku kovi ki hono mata ʻae tangata fai kovi; ka ʻoku ne fakaʻapaʻapa kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova. ʻOku ne fuakava, pea kovi ai ia, ka ʻe ʻikai liliu ai.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

5 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻange ʻene ngaahi paʻanga koeʻuhi ko e totongi, pe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae totongi ke fai kovi ki he māʻoniʻoni. Ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia ʻo taʻengata.

He that puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
