Saame 25
1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!
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.
My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly 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.
May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
4 Fakahā kiate au, ʻE Sihova, ho ngaahi hala; ako kiate au ho ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga.
Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your 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 into your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.
6 ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo ʻofa mataʻatā pe; he ʻoku talu mei muʻa ia.
Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness; for they have always existed.
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.
Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness; Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!
8 ʻOku angalelei mo angatonu ʻa Sihova, ko ia te ne akonakiʻi ai ʻae kau angahala ʻi he hala.
Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
9 Te ne tataki ʻae angamalū ʻi he fakamaau: te ne ako hono hala ki he angavaivai.
He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them 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 Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
11 ʻE Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa, ke ke fakamolemole ʻeku hia; he ʻoku lahi ia.
For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 Ko hai ʻae tangata ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova? Te ne akonakiʻi ia ʻi he hala te ne fili.
Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
13 ʻE nofomaʻu hono laumālie ʻi he lelei; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe hono hako ʻae fonua.
His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will 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 friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
15 ʻOku hanga atu maʻuaipē hoku mata kia Sihova, he ko ia te ne toʻo hoku vaʻe mei he kupenga.
My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.
16 Ke ke fofonga mai kiate au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au; he ʻoku ou paea mo mamahi.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; for I am alone 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; draw me out from my distress!
18 Ke ke ʻafio ki hoku mahaki mo ʻeku mamahi; pea fakamolemole ʻeku angahala kotoa pē.
See my affliction and my toils; forgive all my sins.
19 ʻAfio ki hoku ngaahi fili; he ʻoku nau tokolahi; pea ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au ʻi he fehiʻa lahi.
See my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Ke ke tauhi hoku laumālie, mo fakamoʻui au: ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā; he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
Protect my life and rescue me; do not let me be humiliated, for I take refuge in you!
21 Ke fakamoʻui au ʻe he haohaoa mo e angatonu; he ʻoku ou tatali kiate koe.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I hope in you.
22 ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻene ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.
Rescue Israel, God, from all of his troubles!
