Saame 25
1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
By David. To you, LORD, 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.
My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my 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.
Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Fakahā kiate au, ʻE Sihova, ho ngaahi hala; ako kiate au ho ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga.
Show me your ways, LORD. 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 in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for 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.
LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
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.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, 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 he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 Te ne tataki ʻae angamalū ʻi he fakamaau: te ne ako hono hala ki he angavaivai.
He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach 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 loving kindness and truth to 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 your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my 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 who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 ʻE nofomaʻu hono laumālie ʻi he lelei; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe hono hako ʻae fonua.
His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring 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 the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
15 ʻOku hanga atu maʻuaipē hoku mata kia Sihova, he ko ia te ne toʻo hoku vaʻe mei he kupenga.
My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck 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 to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate 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. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 Ke ke ʻafio ki hoku mahaki mo ʻeku mamahi; pea fakamolemole ʻeku angahala kotoa pē.
Consider my affliction and my travail. 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 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.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 Ke fakamoʻui au ʻe he haohaoa mo e angatonu; he ʻoku ou tatali kiate koe.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22 ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli mei heʻene ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.
God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.
