< Saame 24 >

1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻOku ʻo Sihova ʻae fonua kotoa pē, mo hono mahu ʻo ia; ʻa māmani, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ai.
The earth is Adonai’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
2 He kuo ne fokotuʻu ia ki he ngaahi tahi, mo fakatuʻumaʻu ia ki he ngaahi vai lahi.
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3 Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova? Pe ko hai ʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu māʻoniʻoni?
Who may ascend to Adonai’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Ko ia ʻoku nima maʻa, mo loto māʻoniʻoni; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne hiki hono laumālie ki he meʻa vaʻinga, pe fuakava ʻi he kākā.
He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 Te ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tāpuaki meia Sihova, mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene moʻui.
He shall receive a blessing from Adonai, righteousness from the God of his yesha' ·salvation·.
6 Ko e toʻutangata eni ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ki ho fofonga, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope. (Sila)
This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face— even Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
7 Hiki hake homou ʻulu, ʻae ngaahi matapā; pea ke hiki ke māʻolunga, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi matapā taʻengata; pea ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae Tuʻi ʻoe nāunau.
Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.
8 Ko hai ʻae Tuʻi ni ʻoe nāunau? Ko Sihova ʻoku mālohi mo māfimafi, ko Sihova ʻoku mālohi ʻi he tau.
Who is the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory]? Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai mighty in battle.
9 Hiki hake homou ʻulu, ʻae ngaahi matapā; ʻio, hiki ki ʻolunga, ʻae ngaahi matapā taʻengata; pea ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae Tuʻi ʻoe nāunau.
Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.
10 Ko hai ʻae Tuʻi ni ʻoe nāunau? Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ia ko e Tuʻi ʻoe nāunau. (Sila)
Who is this Melek haKavod [King of Glory]? Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is the Melek haKavod [King of Glory]! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
