Saame 25
1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou falala kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, pea ʻoua naʻa fiefia hoku ngaahi fili ʻiate au.
O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 ʻIo, ke ʻoua naʻa mā ha tokotaha ʻoku tatali kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai angahala ko e pauʻu pē.
Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
4 Fakahā kiate au, ʻE Sihova, ho ngaahi hala; ako kiate au ho ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga.
Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
5 Tataki au ʻi hoʻo moʻoni, mo akonakiʻi au: he ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ʻoku ou tatali kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.
6 ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo ʻofa mataʻatā pe; he ʻoku talu mei muʻa ia.
Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.
7 ʻOua naʻa ke manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻi heʻeku kei siʻi, mo ʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa: ka ke manatu kiate au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa koeʻuhi ko hoʻo angalelei.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 ʻOku angalelei mo angatonu ʻa Sihova, ko ia te ne akonakiʻi ai ʻae kau angahala ʻi he hala.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.
9 Te ne tataki ʻae angamalū ʻi he fakamaau: te ne ako hono hala ki he angavaivai.
He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
10 Ko e ngaahi hala kotoa pē ʻo Sihova ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻene fuakava mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 ʻE Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa, ke ke fakamolemole ʻeku hia; he ʻoku lahi ia.
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
12 Ko hai ʻae tangata ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova? Te ne akonakiʻi ia ʻi he hala te ne fili.
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.
13 ʻE nofomaʻu hono laumālie ʻi he lelei; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe hono hako ʻae fonua.
His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 Ko e finangalo fufū ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia; pea te ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻene fuakava.
The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.
15 ʻOku hanga atu maʻuaipē hoku mata kia Sihova, he ko ia te ne toʻo hoku vaʻe mei he kupenga.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
16 Ke ke fofonga mai kiate au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au; he ʻoku ou paea mo mamahi.
Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
17 Kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻo hoku loto; ke ke ʻomi au mei heʻeku ngaahi mamahi.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.
18 Ke ke ʻafio ki hoku mahaki mo ʻeku mamahi; pea fakamolemole ʻeku angahala kotoa pē.
See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.
19 ʻAfio ki hoku ngaahi fili; he ʻoku nau tokolahi; pea ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au ʻi he fehiʻa lahi.
Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.
20 Ke ke tauhi hoku laumālie, mo fakamoʻui au: ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā; he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.
21 Ke fakamoʻui au ʻe he haohaoa mo e angatonu; he ʻoku ou tatali kiate koe.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
22 ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻene ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
