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 and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

2 He kuo ne fokotuʻu ia ki he ngaahi tahi, mo fakatuʻumaʻu ia ki he ngaahi vai lahi.

because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

3 Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova? Pe ko hai ʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu māʻoniʻoni?

Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

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.

[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].

5 Te ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tāpuaki meia Sihova, mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene moʻui.

(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).

6 Ko e toʻutangata eni ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ki ho fofonga, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope. (Sila)

They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

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.

Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

8 Ko hai ʻae Tuʻi ni ʻoe nāunau? Ko Sihova ʻoku mālohi mo māfimafi, ko Sihova ʻoku mālohi ʻi he tau.

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!

9 Hiki hake homou ʻulu, ʻae ngaahi matapā; ʻio, hiki ki ʻolunga, ʻae ngaahi matapā taʻengata; pea ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae Tuʻi ʻoe nāunau.

Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

10 Ko hai ʻae Tuʻi ni ʻoe nāunau? Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko ia ia ko e Tuʻi ʻoe nāunau. (Sila)

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
