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.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
2 ʻOku lea ʻe he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, pea fakahā ʻe he pō ki he pō ʻae ʻilo.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 ʻOku ʻikai ha leʻo pe ha lea, ʻoku taʻeongoʻi honau leʻo.
There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not 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,
[But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;
5 ʻAia ʻoku hangē ko e tangata taʻane ʻoku haʻu mei hono potu teuteu, pea fiefia ʻo hangē ko e tangata mālohi ke fakapuepue.
And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man 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.
From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
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, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, 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 upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening 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 for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.
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 those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.
11 Pea kuo valokia ai foki ʻa ho tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻi he tauhi ki ai ʻoku lahi hono totongi.
Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Ko hai te ne faʻa ʻilo ʻene ngaahi hē? Ke ke fakamaʻa au mei he ngaahi angahala fufū.
Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.
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.
Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any 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 acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
