Saame 17
1 Ko e Lotu ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ke ke fanongo ki he meʻa totonu, tokanga ki heʻeku tangi fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai mei he loungutu kākā.
Umkhuleko kaDavida. Zwana, Oh Thixo, ukuncenga kwami okulungileyo; lalela ukukhala kwami. Zwana umkhuleko wami, kawusuki ezindebeni ezikhohlisayo.
2 Ke haʻu mei ho ʻao ʻa hoku fakamaau; ke ʻafioʻi ʻe ho fofonga ʻaia ʻoku totonu.
Ukugezwa kwami ecaleni kakuvele kuwe; sengathi amehlo Akho angabona lokho okuqondileyo.
3 Naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku loto; naʻa ke ʻaʻahi kiate au ʻi he poʻuli; kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha meʻa; kuopau pe hoku loto ʻe ʻikai hala hoku ngutu.
Udungulule inhliziyo yami wangihlola ebusuku wangilinga, kawuyikufumana lutho olubi engiluhlelileyo; sengizimisele ukuthi umlomo wami ungenzi sono.
4 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻae tangata, ʻi he folofola ʻo ho loungutu kuo u taʻofi ʻaki au mei he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe fakaʻauha.
Mayelana lezenzo zabantu, mina ngizazithiba ezindleleni zobudlwangudlwangu ngelizwi lezindebe zakho.
5 Ke ke tokoni ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi ho ngaahi hala, ke ʻoua naʻa hekea hoku vaʻe.
Izinyathelo zami zalela ezindleleni zakho; inyawo zami kazizange zitshelele.
6 ʻE ʻOtua naʻaku ui kiate koe, he te ke ongoʻi au: ke ke fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au, pea fanongo ki heʻeku lea.
Ngikhala kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu ngoba uzangiphendula; ngilalela uzwe umkhuleko wami.
7 Fakahā hoʻo ʻaloʻofa fakamanavahē, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe meiate kinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate kinautolu.
Tshengisa ukumangalisa kothando lwakho olukhulu, wena osindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, labo ababalekela kuwe ezitheni zabo.
8 Ke ke tauhi au ʻo hangē ko e tamaʻimata, fakafufū au ʻi he malu ʻo ho kapakau,
Ngilondoloza njengegugu lakho; ngifihla emthunzini wamaphiko akho
9 Mei he kau angakovi ʻaia ʻoku nau taʻomia au, mei hoku ngaahi fili fakapō, ʻoku nau kāpui au.
kwababi abangihlaselayo, ezitheni zami ezimbi ezingihanqileyo.
10 Kuo ʻāʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki honau fuʻu sino: ʻoku nau lea fakafielahi ʻaki honau ngutu.
Bagcika inhliziyo zabo ezingelazwelo, lemilomo yabo ikhuluma iqholoza.
11 Ko eni kuo nau kāpui ʻakimautolu ʻi homau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: kuo nau fakamamaʻu honau mata ʻo sio hifo ki he kelekele;
Sebeze bangithola, manje sebengihanqile bangiqhuzulele amehlo bafuna ukungilahla phansi.
12 ʻO hangē ko e laione ʻoku holi ki he kai, pea hangē ko e laione mui ʻoku toitoi ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo.
Banjengesilwane silambele loba yini esingayidumela, njengesilwane esesabekayo siquthile sicatshile.
13 Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ʻo taʻofi ia, lī ia ki lalo: fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he tangata angakovi, ʻaia ko hoʻo heletā:
Phakama, Oh Thixo, basukele, balahle phansi; ngilamulela kwababi ngenkemba yakho.
14 ʻE Sihova, mei he kau tangata ʻoku ʻi ho nima, mei he kau tangata ʻo māmani, ʻoku nau maʻu honau ʻinasi ʻi he moʻui ni, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ke fakapito honau kete ʻaki hoʻo koloa fufū: ʻoku nau fonu ʻi he ngaahi fānau, pea ʻoku nau tuku hono toe ʻo ʻenau koloa ki heʻenau kau valevale.
Oh Thixo, ngisindisa ngesandla sakho ebantwini abanjalo, ebantwini bakulumhlaba omvuzo wabo ukuyonale impilo. Udedisa iphango lalabo obathandayo; amadodana abo akhomba ngophakathi; baqoqela abantwababo inotho.
15 Ka ko au, te u mamata ki ho fofonga ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: te u fiemālie au, ʻo kau ka ʻā hake, ʻi ho tatau.
Mina-ke ngenxa yokulunga ngizabubona ubuso bakho; ngizakuthi ekuvukeni kwami nganeliswe yikubona isimo sakho.
