Saame 28

1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko hoku makatuʻu; ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi au: telia, ʻi hoʻo taʻeʻafioʻi au, te u hoko ʻo tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

Of David to you O Yahweh - I call out O rock my may not you be deaf from me lest you should be silent from me and I will be equal with [those who] go down [the] pit.

2 Ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka hiki hake hoku nima ki ho folofolaʻanga māʻoniʻoni.

Hear [the] sound of supplications my when cry for help I to you when lift up I hands my to [the] innermost room of holiness your.

3 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke toho au mo e kau angahala, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea mālie ki honau kaungāʻapi, ka ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae kovi.

May not you drag away me with wicked [people] and with [those who] do wickedness [who] speak peace with neighbors their and evil [is] in heart their.

4 Te ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngāue, ʻo fakatatau ki he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga: ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa honau nima; ʻange kiate kinautolu honau ʻinanga.

Requite to them according to work their and according to [the] wickedness of deeds their according to [the] work of hands their requite to them repay recompense their to them.

5 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo e ngāue ʻa hono nima, te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai langa hake ʻakinautolu.

For not they consider [the] deeds of Yahweh and to [the] work of hands his he will tear down them and not he will rebuild them.

6 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.

[be] blessed Yahweh for he has heard [the] sound of supplications my.

7 Ko hoku mālohi mo hoku fakaū ʻa Sihova; naʻe falala kiate ia hoku loto, pea kuo tokoniʻi au: ko ia ʻoku fiefia lahi ai hoku loto; pea ʻi heʻeku hiva te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia.

Yahweh - [is] strength my and shield my in him it has trusted heart my and I was helped and it exulted heart my and from song my I will give thanks to him.

8 Ko e mālohi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, pea ko e mālohi fakamoʻui ia ʻo ʻene pani.

Yahweh [is] strength of them and [is] [the] refuge of [the] salvation of anointed his he.

9 Ke ke fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai, mo tāpuaki ho tofiʻa: tauhi ʻakinautolu foki, pea hiki hake ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata.

Save! - people your and bless inheritance your and shepherd them and carry them until perpetuity.
