Saame 23

1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ko hoku tauhi ʻa Sihova; ʻe ʻikai te u masiva.

A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:

2 ‌ʻOku ne fakatokoto au ʻi he ngaahi ngoue lau maʻuiʻui: ʻoku ne tataki au ki he veʻe vai ʻoku tafetafemālie.

In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;

3 ‌ʻOku ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie: ʻoku ne tataki au ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.

My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

4 ‌ʻIo, neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate, ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha kovi: he ʻoku ke ʻiate au; ko hoʻo vaʻa ʻakau mo ho tokotoko ʻoku na fakafiemālieʻi au.

Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me.

5 ‌ʻOku ke teuteu ʻae keinangaʻanga maʻaku ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo; ʻoku fonu mahuohua ʻa ʻeku ipu.

Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

6 Ko e moʻoni ʻe muimui ʻiate au ʻae lelei mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku moʻui: pea te u nofo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻo lauikuonga.

Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
