Saame 19
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku fakahā ʻe he ʻatā ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2 ʻOku lea ʻe he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, pea fakahā ʻe he pō ki he pō ʻae ʻilo.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 ʻOku ʻikai ha leʻo pe ha lea, ʻoku taʻeongoʻi honau leʻo.
Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
4 Kuo hoko ʻenau fua ki he fonua kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi lea ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani. Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae nofoʻanga ki he laʻā,
their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 ʻAia ʻoku hangē ko e tangata taʻane ʻoku haʻu mei hono potu teuteu, pea fiefia ʻo hangē ko e tangata mālohi ke fakapuepue.
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6 Ko hono hopoʻanga ʻoku mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe langi, mo hono ʻaluʻanga ki hono ngaahi ngataʻanga: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe lilo ʻi hono mafana.
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 Ko e fono ʻa Sihova ʻoku haohaoa, ʻoku ne liliu ʻae laumālie: ko e fakaʻilo ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu, ʻoku ne fakapotoʻi ʻae vale.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 Ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu, ʻoku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto: ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he mata.
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ʻoku maʻa, pea tolonga taʻengata: ko e ngaahi fakamaau ʻa Sihova ʻoku moʻoni mo māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
10 ʻOku totonu ke lahi hake ʻae holi ki ai ʻi he holi ki he koula, ʻio, ʻi he koula lahi mo lelei: ʻoku huʻamelie lahi hake ia ʻi he honi mo hono toʻi ʻae honi.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 Pea kuo valokia ai foki ʻa ho tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻi he tauhi ki ai ʻoku lahi hono totongi.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
12 Ko hai te ne faʻa ʻilo ʻene ngaahi hē? Ke ke fakamaʻa au mei he ngaahi angahala fufū.
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13 Pea ke taʻofi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki foki mei he ngaahi angahala ʻoku fai ʻi he ʻilo; ke ʻoua naʻa nau puleʻi au: ko ia te u angatonu ai, pea te u māʻoniʻoni mei he angahala lahi.
Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
14 ʻE Sihova, ko hoku mālohi, mo hoku huhuʻi, tuku ke lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu, mo e fakakaukau ʻa hoku loto.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
