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 declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth 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 to day uttereth speech, and night to night showeth knowledge.

3 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha leʻo pe ha lea, ʻoku taʻeongoʻi honau leʻo.

[There is] no speech nor language, [where] 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,

Their line hath gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle 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.

Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

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.

His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid 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, converting 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 statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, 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] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous 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.

More to be desired [are they] than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

11 Pea kuo valokia ai foki ʻa ho tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻi he tauhi ki ai ʻoku lahi hono totongi.

Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of 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 understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [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 back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the 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.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
