Saame 32
1 Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia kuo fakamolemole ʻa ʻene talangataʻa, pea kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻene angahala.
Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
2 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai lau ki ai ʻe Sihova ha hia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono laumālie.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 ʻI heʻeku fakalongo pē, naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa hoku ngaahi hui ʻi heʻeku tangi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
4 He naʻe mamafa ho nima kiate au ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: naʻe liliu hoku huhuʻa ko e laʻāina ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana. (Sila)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 Naʻaku vete ʻeku angahala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fufū ʻeku hia. Naʻaku pehē, te u vete ʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa kia Sihova: pea naʻa ke fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻo ʻeku angahala. (Sila)
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Ko ia ʻe lotu ai kiate koe ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku anga fakaʻotua ʻi he kuonga ʻe ʻiloʻi ai koe: ko e moʻoni ʻi he ʻoho mai ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7 Ko koe ko hoku toitoiʻanga; te ke fakamoʻui au mei he mamahi; pea te ke kāpui ʻaki au ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻoe fakamoʻui. (Sila)
Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Ko au te u fakapotoʻi koe mo akonakiʻi koe ʻi he hala ʻaia te ke ʻalu ai: te u fakahinohino koe ʻaki hoku mata.
I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
9 ʻOua naʻa mou hangē ko e hoosi mo e miuli, ʻoku masiva ʻi he ʻilo: ʻaia ʻoku taʻofi ʻaki honau ngutu ʻae ukamea mo e noʻo, koeʻuhi ke nau haʻu ʻo ofi kiate koe.
Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
10 ʻE hoko ʻae ngaahi mamahi lahi ki he kakai angakovi: ka ko ia ʻoku falala kia Sihova, ʻe kāpui ʻaki ia ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
11 Mou fiefia ʻia Sihova, pea nekeneka, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: pea kalanga ʻi he fiefia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
